Treecko! My favorite grass-type ever, and dat dragon-type mega tho. I'll use him on OR, and if I get AS I'll take Torchic, as homage to my first time playing Sapphire. Ah, I can't wait for November.
In the original Ruby, I went with Torchic because...well, because I liked Torchic. Now with the new games, I decided to go for Treeko, mostly due to his new Mega evolution. I've been wanting to do a rain team for a while and while yes Mega Swampert might be the better choice with Swift Swim, I just like the idea of Lightning Rod and Grass Dragon.
I was planning on only buying one copy, but I may buy 2 for runthroughs on the other. I really like all three starters for this generation, but my favorite is Mudkip. I'll be picking Mudkip when I start the game, because not only is Swampert a beast but Mega Swampert looks epic as well! What I'm hoping for is that we cna choose another starter later on like we were able to in Pokemon X/Y.
Mudkip for Alpha Sapphire, Treecko for Omega Ruby. Just like I did with the originals. The fact that I can get Torchic's Mega Stone from my X game has nothing to do with my decision. I just don't like Fire/Fighting as a type combination, so Torchic is completely out of the picture for my Alpha Sapphire game and will have to wait for at least my second playthrough of Omega Ruby.
I have bred a 5 iv adamant speed boost Torchick for Omega Ruby, i don't know if i'm going to EV train them already or wait.
When i can i will transfer Torchick over, i don't have blazikenite so i'm happy i can still get a speed boot mega Blaziken.
I will breed 5 other, minimum 5 or 6 IV pokemon i will take on my journey through Hoenn.
Torchic was my starter in Sapphire and Emerald, so I'm going with it again this time around too. I like birds and Blaziken is one of my favorite designs <3
I'm starting off with Alpha Sapphire (I had Sapphire originally) and though I usually pick the fire-type as a starter, this time around I'll go with Mudkip because I have already used Blaziken and its mega in XY. Then when I pick up Ruby eventually I'll choose Treecko.
I have enough of Torchic and Blaziken in general from X, I don't like grass types much, so I'll probably go with Mudkip, will be useful to solo first 4 gyms easily :)
I would choose Mudkip, because Mudkip is kind of underrated compared to the other two Pokemon. Arguably, I would consider Swampert to be one of the strongest out of the starters.
Hmm...I generally like Torchic (and its evolutions) best, but I already kind of used it as a starter in Y, so probably Mudkip. Treecko really isn't great.
Why is Torchic so unpopular in this poll? Not that I like Torchic or anything, but still. I thought Mega Blaziken was the coolest thing to every1 in the Pokemon Community.
I can't wait to literally Blaze my way through AS with Torchic. I haven't played x/y yet (but might play a potential sequel) and am looking forward to using mega's in game for the first time, especially for blaziken. I know I can use only blaziken to get through the entire game on sapphire, with a little help from kyogre in e4, and will probably do it this time around too.
