6th Gen What's a good starting team?

[Wizardling]

Hey, new Pokémon Alpha Sapphire player here - my first pokémon since the GBA (well, I did buy Pearl for the DS, but I go heavily into an MMO at the time and barely touched it :-\ ).

What's a good starting team I can catch within the early areas? If you could suggest a decent combo to see me on my way I'd be most appreciative. I've forgotten so much, I'm feeling a bit clueless - stumbling around, trying to remember what type is good vs another, etc, and what I faced back in the GBA Sapphire which I played through to the end some ten years ago.

TIA! :-)

P.S. I picked Torchic as my starting pokémon, but am not adverse to swapping him out.

Just pick any Pokemon you want and don't worry about having a strong team. Mudkip is OP since you can pretty much solo the game with him without too much grinding. Torchic can do it too, seeing as you picked him, but not as well as Mudkip.

You can pretty much beat the game with any team. The only difference it makes is the amount of grinding you have to do, but with the new EXP Share it's not as big of a deal if you want to use it. (You'll get it fairly early in this one, I hear)

Most of all though, just experiment. You can look up online on stuff like the type chart and available Pokemon, but Pokemon's strongest point is being able to explore and find out yourself. I envy you, honestly haha.
