Froakie was who I picked, and while it was my least fave at the time the three were first revealed it was the evolutions that did save me. I do like Fennekin as well, especially with how adorable Serena's Fennekin (now a Braixen) has been in the anime.

i was one of the few who picked Fennekin as my starter even before the anime kicked in because of how adorable it looked. Sure the fully evolved form of Delphox doesn't look as majestic as that of Braixen but what matters in the end is the pretty nice typing of Fire/Psychic which meant that the movepool is decent.

I went as far as picking Charmander as my Kanto starter in Y since i wanted to take advantage of Mega Charizard Y's Sun to powerup Delphox late in the game.

Fennekin is my favorite. I love Fire, and the entire line looks amazing. Fennekin and Braixen are adorable, and Delphox is both adorable and bad-ass. So far, Fennekin to me seems to be the best of the 3 starters, both for in-game runs and in general.

I was initially indifferent to the Chespin line. I didn't hate them, but I didn't care much for them either. Now, I've come to really like the line. Chespin is adorable, Quilladin is goofy in a good way, and Chesnaught looks like a boss.

Oh yeah, and then there's the other one. I never really liked Froakie's line, and I think Greninja is in my opinion one of the ugliest things in Pokemon.

My favorite was Froakie ever since the starters were first revealed; I love frogs, and usually tend to choose the Water (or on rare occasions, Grass)-type starters. I was actually afraid that Froakie would have really ugly evolutions in comparison to Fennekin and Chespin, so I was pleasantly surprised when Frogadier and Greninja were revealed. I don't really like Fennekin, but I did play with it on my Y game file just to mix things up a bit.

It's a tie between Fennekin line and Froakie line. I can't decide between the two. I really like the Chespin line as well. For me this is one of the best gens for starters. I think all three little forms, middle forms and fully evolved forms are excellent.

I chose a froakie as water is my favourite type. just like others, i liked fenniken as well but in almost all the main series pokemon games, i have been choosing a water mon . chespin, i have always beleived, is a stupid pokemon and i find it quite boring. Right now, it is a lvl. 59 greninja and one of my favourites in X.

I went with Fennekin in my Y game. I usually pick the fire starter more times than not, the few exceptions were Treecko and Piplup. Kennekin itself is pretty cool, but its evolutions were weird. I liked the typing it had.. which is kind of what made me roll with it in the long run.

Me too dude. Delphox dosen't look good to me. Greninja is much much better.

I actually have all three Kalos starters, with my Froakie being found through WT (and it's Japanese, too :)), though I have yet to complete my Kanto starter collection, because I only have Wartortle of the three. I have Chespin, Delphox and Froakie, but I was going to use the other two for breeding-stock anyway, so I don't need to evolve them all.

I have played with all 3 but my favourite is the Fennekin line, despite Water being my favourite type. The anime certainly helped, Fennekin is so adorable in it.
Like Hudson, I have played with all three starters. Fennekin and Froakie are my favorites, so it's a tie for them! They are also both reliable during our journey. (:

Same thing here. When i saw fennekin, i thought its evolutions would be cool, just like itself. But sure, Delphox shattered my dreams. Froakie, according to me, is the best Kalos starter.

I went with Froakie. I usually go with Grass types as my starter or the Water type. I love Fennekin, but it's evolutions just aren't my taste, considering I was expecting it to be a nice quadrupedal like Ninetails, tthen it became bipedal and I lost interest in it. Delphox is kinda cool, but I found Greninja to be my favorite of the final evolution for the starters, with Chestnaught coming in second (though I'm not a fan of Chespin and Quilladin). I don't understand the huge fanbase for Braixen :/

By design I loved Fennekin and Chespin second, but Froakie took a while to grow on me. I used the others in X and Y respectively, but I hope I'll get the chance to use Froakie eventually in either a possible Z, or just buying another X or Y :P

I just loved it so much even if I'm in the minority. SRed for a female and ended up evolving it, but sadly I never clicked with Quilladin and Chesnaught so I ended up boxing it quickly aftewards. =( Fennekin is also cute but I never liked Delphox much either, and Froakie my boyfriend chose so I wanted to get something different.

Maybe Chespin will be my next pick for another NFE run when I do that! :D That way I can use it all the way through.

I played Fennekin as my starter as well, but I wasn't all that fond of it's final form.
I mean the first two were just so cute and then we ge that last one and I'm like "Where'd the cute go?"

I think I prefer Chespin out of the three of them, though when X and Y were just coming out I'm afraid I sort of had low hopes for the little fella.
Congrats on rising through the ranks, dude.
