  • I'm actually surprised not a lot of people picked Torchic. MegaBlaze is pretty powerful later in the game and useful. I find fire type pokemon harder to come across

    I think it's because you were given a hidden ability Torchic with Blazikenite attached in XY early on through a gift download so a lot of people already used it. =o I was actually torn between Treecko and Mudkip for a while, mega Swampert has grown on me a lot lately..

    I choose Treecko as my starter during Omega Ruby. In terms of design i prefer Blaziken much more between those 3 starters. I wonder if people voted out of their fav or over what they really choose in-game xD I wonder what other people voted as their fav style and design in the 3 starters.

    Mudkip has always been my favorite so I picked Mudkip as my starter. I loved Mega Swampert too!

  • I chose Mudkip because I have always chosen the Water-type Starter Pokemon. The Water type is my favorite type and Mega Swampert is awesome!!!

    Treecko, as I like it the best design-wise, and I really like Sceptile's mega as well! I also picked it as Sceptile is one of my all-time favorite Pokemon. :)

    On Omega Ruby I picked Torchic. I've always loved fire starters and back when I first got Ruby I picked Torchic and Mega Blaziken is pretty amazing. For Alpha Sapphire I picked Trecko because who couldn't pick the adorable grass pokemon!?!?!

  • I chose Mudkip!

    I had chosen the adorable water-type when I first played Sapphire on the GameBoy Advance and decided to stick with it for Alpha Sapphire.

    Although I must say, I like Mega Blaziken's and Mega Sceptile's designs better than Mega Swampert's... I don't know--something just seems off about Mega Swampert.

    Out of all three starters I choose Treecko for OmegaRuby and Torchic for AlphaSapphire.

    Treecko is my favorite out of all three starters though.

    Originally in Sapphire I also chose Mudkip in my tradition of picking water starters as my first one and when I started ORAS I wanted to relive the memories of my first Sapphire gameplay so I chose Mudkip again. The fact that it was a water type but immune to electric attacks kind of just blew my mind.

  • I decided to go with Treeco but I haven't really used him much. I wanted to try playing without using my starter so right now with 3 badges in, my team is Electrike and Wingull.

  • I chose Treecko, because it brought back a lot of memories from my first game; Emerald,
    He masked a lot of firsts for me in Emerald, My first Lvl 100, My first beating of a league and many others. He even beat Red in Soul Silver when my uncle transferred it. Which he then started a new game :(, That was oe of the worst days of my life, I am using a Blaziken I got a torchic though. Maybe I can use Swampert, I do have a mudkip so...
     

    for him.

    I'm trash.

    I chose Treecko even though I chose Mudkip in Pokemon Ruby. Over the years, I have really grown fond of Treecko, especially since it has become the underdog when compared to the other two starters. Underdogs tug at my heart strings.

    Like you, I also view Treecko as the underdog of the trio and that's mainly because it starts off weaker than the other two, and it takes a while longer to actually get good since it doesn't gain a second type through normal evolution means.

  • Went with Mudkip since i liek mudkipz it was what I picked in Sapphire and I figured I might as well have continuity.
