I chose Mudkip in Omega Ruby because I grew tired of using Blaziken and Sceptile. I've been overusing my HA Blaziken on Battle Maison challenges in my Pokemon Y and I already chose Treecko in my Sapphire run when I was a kid. I decided to have a change of pace by choosing Mudkip as a starter and didn't regret it as Mega Swampert is power in my team.
Treeko because I knew Team Aqua would use water type Pokemon and Treeko could one hit KO most of them. Did hesitate a bit because Mega Blaziken is awesome and mudkip's line was cool but Treeko won out. If I ever get Omega Ruby I will probably go for Mudkip.
Treeco all the way baby. I don't know why but Treeco grew on me, I literally didn't choose my starter for about 15 minutes because I was thinking about who to choose.
I can understand you, I felt so attached to Mudkip that I find it hard to do a Hoenn playthrough without Mudkip and that was due to all the nostalgic connection I have to it.
I will admit to being quite new to the Pokemon franchise, having only been around for 3 years. But, when I got Omega Ruby, I started with Mudkip. Because. Internet memes. And I had already raised a Torchic in my X playthrough. And I really liked it! A lot! I named him Kipper. :3
In both the original Ruby & Sapphire as well as the remakes, I'd nearly always pick Mudkip. Partly because I liked the way Mudkip looked, and partly because Swampert with it's Water/Ground type ruled almost everything.
During my first playthrough of AS, I chose Mudkip (keeping true to my original play of Sapphire back in the day). However during my current playthrough of OR I've chosen Treecko due to me wanting to explore other options in regards to water Pokemon in the region.
I chose Mudkip since I loved how Mega Swampert has swift swim as its ability, and me being the kind to happily run Rain teams back in the Gen 5 days of OP Weather effects, Swift Swim sweeping was something that I really enjoyed.
Normally I would always pick Treecko, but this time I switched it up and got Mudkip which I kind of regret since I felt like I would have enjoyed using Sceptile so much more than I did Swampert
During the original Ruby and Sapphire, my classmates had the games before I was given one. I was undecided on a starter. I actually based my choice after getting the R/S booster pack. In it contained the Sceptile holofoil card.
I choose Treecko in the original and remake. In the original, my ID/OT was Nicole and my starter was named Scarlett (for the red coloring on Sceptile's body). In Alpha Sapphire, my starter was named Victor because both Nicole and Victor mean victory. Scarlett is also the ID/OT for my X/Y trainer. Am I just limited on names or do I create some cute meaningful way to synchronize my collection of Pokemon games lol.
