  • Mudkip.

    Too nostalgic not to go with the cutest thing ever.

    But I will absolutely not use Mega Swampert (don't let mudkips take too much protein).

    My first option would be Mudkip. In general, Swampert is great, and it makes a great tank. Alongside, its design isn't that bad either; suits it quite well. I'm also really looking forward to getting a hold of its mega, as it looks simply stunning. Second option is Treecko, due to similar reasons; can't wait to try its mega-evolution. Third is definitely Torchic.

  • Maybe I'll go with Mudkip. Out of the three starters I played with in Sapphire it was the one I bonded with the best for some reason. Actually my first and latest Swamperts have been the only Mudkips I've owned to make me feel that way. Perhaps I'll just trade my Swampert (my latest one, which is related to the first... grandkip I think...could be great grandkip... )over and hopefully buy her the Mega stone :3.

    Definitely Torchic. I chose it on my first time through Sapphire, plus I didn't use the Mystery Gift one in my run through X. So I haven't used Blaziken in a while, plus I have to for nostalgia's sake.

  • Where's the love for Torchic :(? I always choose Fire, so this will be mine, plus I like Blaziken better anyways.

    I love torchic. I mean, that bird is so cute (yes cuter than mudkip, to me) and blaziken is a freaking beast. IMO it's better than sceptile, at least pre-mega.

    Sadly, its role as a starter got... destroyed(?) in XY. Few picked it because of that torchic event when XY was released.

  • Although I love Torchic than any other Pokemon, I'm just gonna plan to breed my XY Blaziken and just transfer it in ORAS, and choose Mudkip coz he's a water type, has a badass bruhvelution, and fits the theme of Hoenn too much :P

    On Alpha Sapphire, I'm going with Mudkip because it was my starter in Sapphire, I like water starters best/always go with them in my main game of each pair, and Mudkip is my favorite out of those 3. On Omega Ruby, I'm debating between trying Treecko or going with Mudkip again. I do like Mudkip a lot, so it may win out for both files (with the other starters traded over/bred instead).

    I'll probably use my starter's mega, unless there's another new mega that I'd rather use.

    I might honestly start with Torchic like I did back in the RSE days because I didn't use Mega Blaziken on my X Y playthrough. I really want treecko too though because that one grew on me the most over the years. I might use Pokebank and have both of them.

  • I will be going with Treecko.
    *It was the starter I picked on my first Ruby Play through.
    * Its my favorite Hoenn starter anyway.
    * Mega septile looks epic and the part Dragon typing looks like it should be fun.
    *Was tempted to go Torchic because mega Blaziken is cool, but was on X so not new.
    *The Mudkip line is one of my least favorite starters.

    I always say I'll try something new, but I know I'll probably go with Torchic again. I have chosen Mudkip and Treecko in the past, but I don't think I ever finished an RSE run with Treecko. Swampert yes, once or twice.

  • Torchic.

    My very first run of Ruby had Torchic as my starter, only fitting that for the remake it will be my starter again.

    And if we do get the opportunity to be given our starter's respective mega stone in the main story, I have no doubt that I will use a Mega Blaziken.

    I'm thinking of using Treecko because Mega Sceptile looks so amazing, but I do love Torchic... :(

    Gen III starters are all my favs, picking one is always the hardest for me of all the gens.

    Treecko, paying homage to my starter in Emerald. :) Plus, Mega Sceptile is too cool.

    Definitely Treecko! It's my avatar for goodness sake XD. Something about that pokemon made me think it was soooo cool when I was a kid (and I still am) and I just want to relive the old days.

    I'll be picking Torchic because I chose Torchic in my original play of Sapphire. I also never used Mega Blaziken in X so it'll be new to me.

  • I still have my Sceptile from Ruby and the event Torchic, so I'll be going with Mudkip. I might still use the event Torchic, though.
