I'll be honest, I'm not crazy about the starters.

I don't like that the grass starter (Chespin) is primarily brown rather than green (I know there's no "rule", just a personal preference). And I thought the water one (Froakie) just looked plain silly at first. I think the fire one (Fennekin) looks all right, actually, but I went with Tepig in Gen 5 and like to start with a different type each gen. In general I just think they look a taaaaaaad stilly- I'm sure I'll feel differently once I see their final evos though :)

Also I'd like to say I think their names are atrocious.
 
Actually, now that I look at it, I really don't know. They're all so freaking adorable!
 
Haha guys. What if Froakie's last evolution is 100x times cutter or better than himself? Anyways: I like them all! Chespin looks already excited to start an adventure, Froakie looks like he has a great speed stat and Fennekin is adorable! I'm going with Fennekin right now. Fennekin looks like a male version of Vulpix.
 
I'm hoping fennekin is gonna be like torchic.. cool final design. Or any of these really. The grass looks like a shrew with a cabbage on it's head or something.

Agreed. I can't wait to see how they're going to have it evolve into a Fire/Fighting type.

The water frog doesn't seem as bad to me now as when I first saw it. Have I really gotten used to it that quickly? It took like a year with Oshawott.
 
The starters do look a bit silly but i'm going going with tradition and picking the fire-type.
 
Forakie looks pretty funny to me, I might pick that one xD
 
Why does nobody like Froakie, he's quirky and adorable looking AND HAS FINGERS!
Seriously how many times has a start pokemon had legitimate fingers and not just stubs that have lines or claws drawn onto them.
Fennekin is cool and all, but I prefer Vulpix as a firefox.
 
GUYS LOOK AT THE GRASS STARTER'S FEET AHHHH. What Pokémon family do they remind you of? None other than Sandslash! This has now convinced me to use Chepsin. :D I'm just really hoping the final evolutions are interesting or these starters will be a huge let-down. Every time I look at them I'm starting to love them more and more, even Froakie(!), but I just can't imagine a third evolution for either Fenniken or Froakie looking too good. Only time will tell though c:
 
Actually Fennekin is just Vulpix, the grandeur is gone. Ninetales should have been Fire/Psychic anyway if that's what this ends up being. It's still cool though!

What are you talking about? Fennekin is definitely a fire type Zorua :P

I'll definitely be picking Fennekin as my starter.




Is it just me or does Chespin look like a few pokemon merged together?
 
I really love all the starters it's a hard decision for me u_u;;

But so far I'm definitely leaning on Fennekin!! It's so cute and I've always wanted a Fire-type like that cx Chespin is my second option so far cause I'm not too crazy about the frog... but I want to see their final evos and stats before I decide.​
 
Poor Froakie, such an ugly little Pokemon. And Fennekin's evolved form better not end up being a Ninetales rip-off.

Chespin gets my vote. Looks like I'll be going with the Grass-type starter for the first time since forever.
 
At least it seems as the trend of Fire/Fighting combo for the starters is finally over... But who knows what they'll do. I did not think it of Tepig either but then I (we?) got disappointed :D

I just keep my fingers crossed for a pure Fire-Type Evolution this time...
Other than that: I also like Chespin but the frog looks just way too creepy^^
