    I would choose Purrloin. It's so cute & Liepard looks amazing too! I never get to train it in the game so it would be nice to have it as a starter Pokemon (:

  • Though I've already replied to this once, things have changed since my last post. After a recent playthrough, I found that I really like Golett/Golurk and thus would choose it as my first Pokemon in Unova. It has such strength and has a cool type, even if it does have a decent amount of weaknesses

    I have a hard time imagining myself starting with a Pokémon that isn't a starter... And there are a ton of great gen 5 Pokémon which also makes it really hard to pick. I guess I'd go for Minccino, since Normal is a fairly "neutral" Type and I also get to experience it evolving on my journey.

  • I would have to say Litwick. My Chandelure in White 2 was an absolute BEAST. It knew Shadow Ball, Flamethrower, Energy Ball, and Psychic. It's insanely high Sp. Atk destroys everything, and it's my favorite Unova Pokemon.

    Unfortunately Bagon isn't a Pokémon introduced in Fifth Gen. Which of the ones introduced in Fifth Gen would you want instead?? Unsurprisingly a lot of Unova Pokémon are pretty strong so there's not really one solid choice for most people!

    I would choose Minccino. It's just so adorable and fun size!

    "You can eat it up, stick it in a showbag or take it for a walk... the new fun-size Minccino will give you all the benefits of having a real starter and more!"

  • Hey I love Snivy. He's the cutest of em all, gorgeous evolution is a resilient Pokemon and has a really cool hidden ability. I would not sure want to o change him.But if I got there and every snivy was gone... **sigh*

    Since I don't suppose druddigon will be available as a level 5 starter I'll go for axew.

    Druddigon could totally be available! You can breed it after all :) Although... how would you balance the choice of starters when one is Druddigon lmao
