It's gonna be Oshawott like in White. I never have been a fan of starting with a Grass-type and I'm not looking forward to another Fighting-Fire hybrid starter, so that pretty much limits my options to Oshawott.
 
Oshawott. I liked Snivy so much, but I prefered Oshwott's stats.
 
Eh, since I'm hoping to get both - I'll most likely get a choice from two. I'm kind of disappointed with the starters to be honest, although yes - they make sense, it's just it would have been nicer to have a different choice. It's not like it'll ruin my experience of the games anyway - so I'm just nitpicking. ._.'

I'll probably pick Snivy in White 2, considering I didn't pick it in any of my playthroughs of B/W, and I'll probably make a decision on the starter for Black 2 on the spot. xD;
 
Will anyone be ignoring the starters and getting a Pokemon from an early route or trading one in from B/W? Even though I'm picking Snivy probably I'm still considering getting a Larvesta from White and transferring it over to raise as my starter instead.

I MIGHT do this one I see what Pokemon they're putting in the games. I did that for the first time I ever played my White version and it was awesome. Actually, I may pick Oshawott just so I can replace it with an Azurill.
 
I think I'm going to go with Snivy this time around, too :) I guess he's a bit too smug, eh? Besides, being with what I like is the thing that I like the most about reusing starter choices. Unless I can't pick it for some reason

I'm on the fence of actually doing this, since I'll be Nuzlocking my first playthrough, so I really want a chance to get an Azurill, rather than not being able to actually train it because I have an Oshawott.

If I do so, Bulbasaur will definately be my starter of choice.
 
I will be choosing Oshawott cos it's my fave of the three.

Everyone knows that "I liek Oshawottz" and have this cute Oshawott mascot. I like the other two but Oshawott turned out the best for me plus he's cute.
 
ill probably go for snivy or tepig. it would be really cool if they get updated moves
 
I don't care who or what is going on in the new games.

[PokeCommunity.com] B2W2 starter


This guy has had my back from the beginning of this new generation. And it's gonna stay that way.
 
Oshawott for me. For some reason, I always felt as though the developers were sort of nudging the player to choose the water starter. Heck even the anime has Ash getting an Oshawott.
 
Oshawott Because It's A Water Type And I Always Pick The Water Starter In Every Game Exept White Since I Picked Snivy
 
Tepig or Oshawott, most likely Oshawott, because I don't see the rival picking Oshawott- he seems more like a Snivy type of guy. I always try to go with what seems more fitting to the rival(s).

Also, my friends seem to have this thing where they all pick the Grass or Fire starter, and as a result it takes us forever to get the Water one later on ._. So yeah, most likely Oshawott.
 
Tepig all the way, I have started with the fire starter FIRST since the 1st Gen games :) i always end up playing through with them all, but fire always comes first
 
Oshawott... I don't like any of them, but I have to choose, and anyway I prefer water-type.
 
I wish we could get new starters, but oh well. I think Oshawott is the cutest, so I'll pick that one.
 
Aww man, this is a really tough choice... I adore Oshawott for its cuteness and childishness, I adore Tepig for its peppiness and attitude of never giving up, and I adore Snivy for its calm/cool nature, so this is a really tough one! I've used Oshawott and Tepig most recently in Black, so I guess I'm gonna go with Snivy for my B2W2 starter; but that really is only based on when I last used them. Choosing my last starter for BW was like torture, they're all so amazing in Gen V ;;
 
I am saving up to have 2 copies of Black 2 and a copy of White 2 for I can get all three starters. At first I didn't like the starters for the exception of Snivy, but now I like all three (I use to think Oshawatt was ugly as sin and then it grew on me plus help with the anime and now I find it adorable). Snivy will my choice on one of the Black 2 games and which one I choose for Tepig and Oshawatt depends if Reshiram would be on White 2 or Black 2. If he is on B2, Tepig would be on White, if Reshiram is on W2, Tepig would be on Black. I don't want my Fire starter to be choice of the game that you get the Fire Dragon.
 
In White I went with Tepig, and I'll probably do the same this time too. I love his design and fire type starters usually appeal to me more. :)
 
I'll probably start off with Oshawott, as I did the first time I played through White. Then immediately box it once I pick up another Pokemon I want to use. I've used all three before, and I can't say I was a big fan of any of them. Plus, with the greater variety of Pokemon available in the wild, I'll want to try out something else instead.
 
With White I chose my favourite, Oshawott (still my favourite). With Black I chose my next favourite (Snivy). With Black or White 2 (whaterver version I get) I'll choose Tepig, my least favourite of the three.
