I don't know if there is a thread on this, if so feel free to delete this thread. What starter did you choose in Pokemon X and Y and what gender was it? If you want you can also post why you chose it.

I chose Fennekin (because I always pick the Fire-Type starter) and unfortunately for me it was male, Delphox really looks like it should be female.

Edit: For voting, pick the starter from your first playthrough. You choose two options, you pick the starter of your first playthrough and it's gender, only those.

I chose chespin but that was because I was not going to use my starter and I really like articuno (the legendary bird for the game if you choose chespin)! Had I decided to use my starter, I would have definitely went froakie!

I went with Froakie, because I love Water-types and it's a frickin' ninja frog!

As for the gender, I was also among the many who ended up with the very common males. Still leaves Ruby as my only playthrough where I didn't have my starter being male.

A couple weeks before the game's launch, I was on the fence between Team Chespin and Team Froakie, but as soon as the final forms were leaked, it was decided. Greninja is the first water-type starter in a long time whose design I genuinely love. :D

Not to say that Chesnaught or Delphox are bad either...in fact, the Kalos starter trio is my new all-time favorite conceptually.

I agree, the design of these starters is very nice. I do think they should have reversed the gender ratio for Fennekin though, as Delphox just makes no sense being male to me, they should have made female more common than male for Fennekin.

Although, my favourite starter of all-time is Chimchar and it's evolutionary line because it is from my first Pokémon game - Platinum - and as such is my very first Pokémon, so I feel as though it is my favourite.

Oh, how I want to bring my "Chimpy" (Infernape) from Platinum to X. I only don't because there is only one of him, and we went through everything in Platinum, and if I transfer him to Black then X I will never see him again in Platinum. :(

I wanted Fennekin right when I saw it. I love foxes so what better Pokemon for me!?

Then I saw its last evolution and was really disappointed... Even to this day I don't like Delphox but I just decided to not evolve it the full way. So I still have Braixen xD

But yes! I was Team Fennekin all the way right from the beginning! :3

I chose fennekin in my first ever file, then when I was done, I transfered it to my X. And on X I chose froakie.

Once pokebank came out I transfered delphox to my Y again, and the starter I chose for my current file is chespin. I love all three of them...

I can't decide which is my favorite. All three are cool...

I chose Froakie as my starter (ninja frog is awesome), and it is male, like with the majority of people (cuz, ya know, 87.5 to 12.5 gender ratio).

Hah, me too. First time I played my Ruby, my Torchic was female. I think that I got a female starter one other time too, but I might be imagining it...

I picked Fennekin, but I really just wanted Zapdos.

I also picked Charmander later on, and I started back in November so I got the event Torchic.. I started out with a well-rounded team of fire-type starters, lol.

Whe I played X I chose Froakie as my starter. I chose Charmander for my Kanto starter my took it off my team after the 7th gym to make room for a Noivern. In Y I chose Froakie again (because I don't like the other starters enough to bother with them) and Bulbasaur as my Kanto starter. Neither of my starters stayed on my team very long in Y.

I originally planned to get X and my friend was going to get Y, but somehow we ended up switching, so I got Y and she got X. I had planned to select Chespin when I bought X because I was hoping (against hope) that he would evolve into a grass/ground type. However, when Quilladin was revealed, I was totally turned off. So, by the time the games were released, Froakie had grown on me a lot, so I chose Froakie, and (of course) he was a male.

I wanted to choose Fennekin at first, but wound up going with Chespin. I'm glad I did, because Chesnaught is just amazing. <3 If used right, it could make an amazing tank. Going to restart my game in the future, and once I do, maybe I'll select Froakie.

Fire starters always appealed to me, since Gen 3 and 4 had Fire/Fighting type in their third evolution, giving it decent coverage.. I never played a Gen 5 game. Hmm. Despite my knowledge of Torchic being available, I went with Fennekin, he just seemed better than Torchic. Added on to the fact I refused to look at any spoiler filled anything, I had NO idea what was going to happen in its evolution line. Ironically enough, to this day, Delphox remains in the box and level 70, While my Blaziken is level 100, cherished like a God, and is the reason of my first Kalos Elite Four win. Final note. When Serena evolved Frogadier into Greninja, I hated myself for not picking Froakie.

I chose to start out with Froakie since I have to follow my tradition of starting with a water type. The gender of it turned out to be was male.

Fennekin. This was an easy choice for me: I like foxes and fire types and was very happy to choose it. Fortunately I also like all of its evolutions, even though I had to get used to them a bit. I would even have chosen it if it became a Fire/Fighting type, but I am also pleased with its real final typing.

I guess I'm in the severe minority here. @[email protected]; Chespin female for me. I highly prefer female Pokemon for some reason which is a habit that I picked up in the fifth gen so that of course carried over. Plus Chespin was adorable and underrated so I had to give it a try. :) Still dislike its evolutions, though. sigh

I chose Froakie, although I initially wanted Fennekin. However, Froakie got replaced easily by the Lapras that's given to you later in the game.

On my Y version, I chose Chespin (Male) because its final evolution was crazy and, at the time, was my favorite of the bunch. I still love Chesnaught but I'm starting to like Delphox as well.
On my X version, I chose Fennekin (Male) since it's my second favorite. I love Delphox's cry, I love its typing, and I had already gotten a surfer so I didn't need Froakie.
In the next version I'll probably get Froakie.
