Okay so I was all "Torchic because Blaziken was my bro throughout generation 3" but then I saw the mega evolution for Sceptile and now I'm pretty torn. Not because I can't wait to use Blaziken for the 3284903284 time, but because if I choose Sceptile it totally messes up the plans I had for my team.

I really want to use all generation three Pokemon, but if I take Sceptile then I'm stuck with Torkoal or Camerupt as the fire type on my team each of which I'm not crazy about. I also kind of wanted to throw Breloom on my team but now with fairy types I'm not sure if it's the best idea to use with Blaziken and I really don't want to use it with Sceptile either since they're both grass types and Sceptile's added on dragon type when it goes mega also makes it susceptible to fairy types. Aka I will be working this team out 5EVER

Sceptile :3 It's my favourite grass type starter and favourite Hoenn starter ^^

I'm very certain about going with Treecko!
Although I would love to go with Mudkip seeing as it was my first and ruby my first game... But I can't stand it's mega evo at all.
Then also.. Hoenn is full of watertypes so it gives me the chance to use a different one this time around.
I like Treeckos mega the best and I generally prefer the line over Torchics. :'')

As I am getting both versions, I will be choosing Mudkip for Omega Ruby as Mega Swampert is in my opinion, the best Hoenn starter Mega Evolution, and I will be choosing Treeko for Alpha Sapphire to honor my Sapphire Nuzlocke Sceptile SpeedLeaf, He died against Steven's Metagross, hovewer his sacrifice was not in vain.

Picking A starter based on its Mega's Aesthetics is rather stupid imo. More Megas will be released, and no one says you must use a Mega.

I will pick Mudkip. I might use Mega Swampert, Might not.

I'm going to go with Mudkip in OR and Treecko in AS.
1) Ruby was my first game and Mudkip my first starter, seemed rather fitting to go with that again, and
2) I've started a new save on my copy of Emerald and I'm using Treecko so I thought I'd give him/her another go in AS.

I'll probably use my event Torchics in both games, I got two of them and have only touched one so I'll breed a second one and transfer them over to ORAS, but they won't be used heavily or in my final E4 team.

Treecko in Omega Ruby (I'll be doing a Nuzlocke in this version, to pay homage to Nuzlocke himself.) and idk what in Alpha Sapphire, most likely Mudkip because I've used Mega Blaziken before.

I'm starting to think more logically. The game should allow communication with Pokémon Bank, so I will have babies with decent (not necessarily perfect) IVs ready to go. On the other hand, what I'd LIKE to do is start with the two other babies traded in Egg form to start off, and from there I can have all three starters in my OT. That would be beautiful. It would be neat if the game actually allowed you to catch all three given the Safari now, though I doubt it will happen in the maingame. Knowing the Daycare isn't until you reach Mauville, however, does tell me that you can breed your own starters and grind them before facing Wattson, so at least a good chunk of the game can be played with your own group!

Hello there; Everyone has his or her own way of choosing and opinion, so who are you to judge others in the first place? What nonsense.

I personally might be going with Treecko this time round, with the above mentioned plentiful of Water-type available in-game already; Though I've always chose Mudkip during my RSE era.
I still have my Swampert from Sapphire on my X, and I think that we will still be able to buy the Mega Stones for the other 2 you didn't pick too like in X and Y.
Am still undecided though.

I think I said before my main game would be Treecko? Yeah, not anymore. Mega Swampert is too great to not have by my side permanently and Mudkip was already a staple of mine so it's getting my loyalty. Treecko will definitely be the first choice in any secondary game, though! And I feel ambitious about a new game on a second cartridge, then I'll take Torchic for a run.

When I played emerald I always picked Mudkip for the water type in my party until the last time played through emerald (last month) and got a Milotic for my water type.
I think I will pick Treecko. I want a good grass type and his mega form is one of the best that has been created. Swampert's does not cut it for me.

If I do in fact get one of the upcoming games, I am leaning toward choosing Mudkip. Its the Hoenn starter I chose on my first play through Sapphire back in the day, so it has a certain nostalgia factor. I would have considered choosing Treecko as that is the one starter I didn't pick from the 3rd generation games (I went with Torchic in Ruby). However, I just trained up a Sceptile in my Y version, and I plan on transferring it to whichever version I get through Pokémon Bank cuz I want it to be the Sceptile I Mega Evolve.

Mudkip. I liked him before it was cool. /hipster

But really, I've always liked Mudkip. Treecko was a bit too 'cool' for me and Torchic just didn't quite fit. Mudkip was the perfect mix of cute and strong.

Interestingly enough, I never did use him in my playthrough teams, I only used him for the first few areas and caught other Pokemon to train more (Poochyena, Taillow, Skitty). This time around, however, he will be sticking in my main team. I don't plan on using him for his Mega, either- I think Swampert's normal design has just grown on me.

Interesting, this is similar to what I want to do!

Right now I'm finalizing a team that would include 4 I'm breeding/EV training a little and 2 natives from AS. Unfortunately, my current team doesn't include a flying Pokemon... :/ I'll probably just train another Swellow for that.

Treecko. One of my favorite Grass-type Pokemon, in fact, Hoenn's the only time where I began the generation using the Grass type starter. He's wicked cool.

Not sure which version I'm going to go with quit yet, But I'll be going with the grass starter, treecko. I played the originals many times over, using each one at least once.

Torchic got a comeback during the x and y seris, so I'd like to go with a pokemon I haden't just used. Also, I think I chose Mudkip the most many times during my re plays. I would like to give It's new mega form a chance...

But 'just haven't used treecko as much, and I'd like to give it a try.
