Swampert is my life, so of course I will be choosing Mudkip. Waterfall/Earthquake/Protect/Ice Beam, heck yes.

I chose Torchic in the original, but I'm not really fond of it anymore since it's become a bit of a Nubchicken. I'm pretty set on Treecko right now, which is who I voted for in the poll, mostly because Mudkip gets that 4x weakness to Grass when it becomes a Swampert.

Grovyle (no, not Sceptile, I don't really like sceptile that much) is my favourite pokemon, though I want to use mudkip, because I haven't used one in a while, and Swampert is really cool.

I am a fire lover but as much as I want Torchic, I will chose Mudkip. I struggled in Sapphire trying to beat the first couple of gym leaders so I switch my fire buddy with water when I played Emerald. Mudkip was probably the first water type pokemon I came to adore and I have to admit, Swampert is awesome.

On gym leader battles Mudkip has proved himself time after time so I'm stuck with him. Wattson kept paralyzing my poor Torchic but with Marshtomp, that electric leader couldn't even harm him. But my Torchic will always be in my heart and might pick him but due to the challenges, I'm with Mudkip now. Plus, he's adorable and I'm now attached to him.
Train them please!

I'm actually thinking about importing a team for my game run. Which means I would not care who the starter is. Or import five to complement a starter.

Usually I do Fire types, but I might change it up and use Mudkip. The immunity to Electric types as a Swampert is extremely useful and can be complemented well by an imported team of babies. The only downside is that the babies might level up TOO fast and I wind up losing control of them.

3rd Gen starters completely solidify themselves as the best starter group with their megas. I will definitely not pick Blaziken since we were given one with the WI-FI Event torchic. Though I liked Sceptile better before, the "Do You Even Lift?" (Only Upper body of course) Swampert is too cool for me to pass up.

Mega Sceptile has confirmed my already cemented decision of choosing Treecko - it looks INSANE I can't believe they've made my favourite starter look even more epic haha :) Its design is flawless and its made up of all three of my favourite colours (orange, green, yellow) so I couldn't be happier :)


Of all the recent announcements regarding ORAS, Mega Sceptile has definitely been my favourite :) Overall I think I prefer the Hoenn Megas to the Kanto ones.

It might be a little obvious but I am definitely picking mudkip. Actually I plan to breed a shiny and transfer it over. I might actually transfer over all 3 shiny starters:)
There is a chance they may not allow us to trade until with XY and/or transfer any Pokemon from Gen V either until post main story. If we can I'm trading in a Torchic that is the descendant of my original Torchic from Emerald...the two even have the same nature...

Anyways I'm getting Treeko after seeing the Megas (I like Swampert's too) as I love that it got the dragon type <3

Oh wow I hadn't even thought about that. I was thinking about being able to trade back and forth in x an y early on amd figured it would be the same as long they were in the same generation. I can see the transfer thing being a post game thing though. How was it in the past? Like between dp and hgss? I never did any cross trading in those games.
That is really cool how you have a descendant of your first torchic to play with.

If I wasn't real real big into water types, I probably would have picked treecko at first because I love reptiles irl.

They would have to block Pokémon Bank then. I don't think they would be wise to do that.

But they could.

If they don't update the Hoenn Dex with some good Fire Pokémon I'll have to choose Torchic since it's the only decent one in the game. DP had the same problem, forcing me to choose Chimchar.

Well, Blaziken is boss and the best Hoenn starter so I'm not too bothered.
