    So. I can't decide, and I figured I would ask some of you guys for advice. First, a little background.

    I initially thought I'd be choosing Fennekin no problem, as it was the one that appealed to me the most at first, but now I think I've fallen in love with Chespin and Froakie too. However, part of me still wants to use Fennekin as I haven't gone with the Fire-type starter since Chimchar in Diamond. Now, so far, my starters from the very first game I played (Silver) have been:

    • Silver (and later SoulSilver, which was a "redo" of my Silver): Cyndaquil
    • Crystal: Totodile
    • Sapphire: Mudkip
    • Ruby: Torchic
    • Diamond: Chimchar
    • Platinum: Turtwig
    • Black: Oshawott
    • Black 2: Snivy

    My sister also got a Gold version when we were kids, which she then gave to me later on, where she chose Chikorita, but I don't think I should count that.

    However, of the starters I've chosen, its been three Fire-types, three Water-types, and two Grass-types (three if we count my sister's Chikorita/Meganium).

    Taking that into account, it would seem that, to balance it out, I should go with Chespin. At the same though, the last starter I chose was Snivy. So, I'm a bit unsure of whether I should go with a different type or stay with Grass to make it even.

    Plus, there is the consideration of Fennekin's secondary typing. If its another Fire/Fighting, then I'm definitely going with Chespin. So, that'll make the decision easier.

    But, what do you guys think? Should I go with Fennekin or Chespin?
     
    It'll really be hard to decide until the final evolutions are announced, as well as some of the other Pokemon! Say a really good Fire-type comes out that you like, then you'll probably go for Chespin, right? Or vice versa.

    I'm personally waiting for more Pokemon to be announced, as well as the final evolutions. Until then, I'm going for Fennekin because I like it the most and if its final evo follows its current physiology then I feel like I would like that, as well.
     
    This is what Im going to do, get X pick the water starter and X will be main game.
    Then get Y pick the fire starter after I get all the pokemon I need I'll trade it over to X
    Then restart Y and choose the grass starter then trad it over to x
     
    This really doesn't deserve to be in a separate thread. We have a thread all about the starters you can ask questions in, read information about, and discuss the pros and cons of each. No need to create your own thread to ask the community to help pick a starter for you.

    Thread closed.
