This is a difficult choice for me. I'd really like to have all three lol. When I had Pokemon Ruby I picked Torchic. I think I'll go with Torchic again because I haven't played with Mega Blaziken before. I think I'd regret it if I didn't pick Torchic.
 
I must admit this one is actually a rather tough choice for me. I might end up having to roll a dice to decide on which starter to grab for this generation, or I might just grab mudkip, or torchic.
 
I'm pretty sure I'm getting treecko, and I'll go with mudkip later. I love Torchic too, but I'm honestly not a huge fan of Blaziken.
 
I was a bit hard for me to choose, since the Gen III starters are my favorite generation of starters, but I've decided on Treecko. As much as I like Blaziken, there was the whole thing with the Torchic+Blazikenite in X/Y, and it's the starter I've used the most in Hoenn.

As for Swampert, I'm just about to finish a Water monotype run on my Ruby, so using it again so soon might not be so fun. It's been a while since I've used a Sceptile anyway, and its Mega is pretty nice. I suppose that's a bit unfair to Team Aqua, but oh well....

....I'm so mean to Team Magma and Team Aqua.
 
I had no "I'm going to choose...!" feelings going into this game, so when I got to the part where I chose my Pokémon, I just went with my gut and chose Mudkip.
 
I chose treecko in A.S. and i will be choosing mudkip in O.R. because i have plenty of torchics i can trade over when i feel the need for one. Also i chose treecko because i feel most people will be choosing torchic for blaziken.
 
considering I always loved the way swampert looked, and it was the first pokémon I owned to reach lvl. 100, I'll definitely go with mudkip. Also, his Mega Evolution looks pretty sweet, while I think the others look a bit too "accessorized".
 
Ultimately, I went back on my decision and decided to go with Mudkip for my starter in Omega Ruby (which will be my main game). Although I feel that can mostly be owed to the fact that it can use both Surf and Waterfall, making the need for those HMs less of a hassle. But part of me wanted to go with Treecko instead...
 
I'm assuming you encounter one of the three legendary gen 2 dogs depending on what start you pick. If anyone has gotten this far, can you tell me who to pick at a start to encounter Suicune later on? Sending me a PM would help a lot as I want to avoid spoilers.
 
I went with mud over torchic due to the fact I'm lazy and don't want to switch my pokemon just to use fly. Unless they fixed that in some length since I took a break after plat.
 
My starter Mudkip now is a Shiny 6IV with 252 atk and 252 hp with Adamant nature.
 
Went with Treecko in AS and will likely choose Mudkip when I start OR. I'm not 100% set on Mudkip though because I hate how pretty much all of the water or ground moves it gets leveling up are special based. I still want to give Mega Swampert a try though so I might look past it.
 
Torchic, love Blaziken personally.

Though I always find myself picking the fire starter, even in gen 5, but I did replace it with a Torchic...
Not a fan of firepig.
 
I've already planned on going for Treecko, as I'm planning on getting some bred 'mons from Y. Besides, I've already got Torchic (from that event at X/Y's release) & Mudkip as well (from Wonder Trade, of all things.)
