Bessi Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 i took chimchar cause it is my favorite starter.Infernape is unmatchable in speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drayker Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Turtwig on my first run. Torterra OP. Bulky and shit. I'm now using Froakie... Protean. <3 Best way to trick the AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverJakler Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 At first started my Reborn run during the Episode 10 update, so I only got to choose from up to Unova, so I chose my favorite Water Starter: Oshawott. Oshawott became my favorite Water Starter from the moment I saw him introduced. A cute little otter with a lightsa- Razor Shell, that evolves into a gallant samurai with a majestic moustache/beard combo? HELL YEAH! But I got bored of grinding and eventually dropped Reborn altogether, until a few months later when Episode 11 came out. That's when I found out it'd been updated with Gen 6 stuff, including the starters. It was a tough choice, but I restarted (wasn't very far along) and chose Chespin. Chespin was basically the same thing as Oshawott, chosen at first sight. A cute hedgehog... porcupine... groundhog... thing that evolves into a macho paladin with a heart of gold? Again, hell yeah! So now, Vanguard the Chespin (now Quilladin) has become a main stay on my campaign team, wrecking anyone's face... except for Taka's Chatot (ohgodnoooo).

ViperDoesIt Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I picked chimchar since I already had an experience with him in a normal pokemon game and grew a bond with it. Second run I picked Froakie cause it is something different since I dont have a 6gen pokemon game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GottaLoveShuckle Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Froakie is the best starter as long as you make sure it has Protean ability. Torchic is overrated and either destroys the other team or fails and personally I find that play style boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notus Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Mudkip. Because Mudkiepz rock. Seriously, Swampert is my favorite pokémon and it's hella strong, so I had no doubt when picking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinix Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Cyndaquil. Most preferable out of all the other starters if I had to choose that doesn't just simply mindlessly steamroll through the game. Not that I liked any of the starters anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafy Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Chespin! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadyserpent269 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Snivy. For two simple reasons: A) I like snakes and serperior has better stats than the currently available snakes. (Just wait arbok. One day you shall get a mega evolution that will make you balanced stat wise). Dat Contrary+Leaf Storm combo. Haven't gotten to it yet, but once I do....Im gonna need pp ups though. While his learnset is basically just grass and lacks little typing variety at the current moment, serperior makes an excellent leech seeder. Fast and bbulky enough that it can atleast get off one before it dies. Also add in that it has pretty good stats and you have a decent pokemon. Shame about it's move set though. But hey, leaf storm is a powerful force. For my second run I am reseting for a shiny charmander and my third i'm going to try out totodile.

Sutoratosu Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Fennekin on my current play through. Because So far I'd just been sticking with what had worked for me in the past, I never had a gen6 poke, and figured, What the hell, Why not be adventurous?

CoolTrainerGary Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I picked froakie, and it was disappointing. It's frail, and for the longest time, its strongest move was water pulse, but I think it'll be much better in the next episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hally Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Picked fennekin; regretting this decision, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
que Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 The biggest shock to me so far is the popularity of Froakie over Chimchar. Does nobody run a special attacking, slack off set like I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truly Deceptive Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Charmander, just for the sake of nostalgia (even though I elected for Blastoise in Red and Blue; I've grown to prefer Charmander more). If that thing gets a Mega Stone (either, really) at some point, it'll all have been worth it (furthermore, with the beginning it has, it would appear as if Amethyst just doesn't want Water-types to win unless they're Mudkip or Protean Froakie). Infernape is also good. Edited April 30, 2014 by Truly Deceptive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ojama Yellow Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 The biggest shock to me so far is the popularity of Froakie over Chimchar. Does nobody run a special attacking, slack off set like I do?

garchomp550 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Torchic, because speed boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Shuckle Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I've had three runs of the game. 1st Run: Cyndaquil. Not a bad starter stat-dist wise but has a really limited move pool. He also took a back seat to my other pokemon unless I needed that Fire-Stab (or the rare flash fire boost) 2nd Run: Turtwig. My favorite run so far because Torterra simple oozes power. Pretty good move pool and shell armor allows you to set up without fear of crits. But the ice gym was hell incarnate because of the 4x weakness to ice. 3rd Run: Piplup. I thought Empoleons resistances would help but everything had some kind of Super Effective move and Empoleon just became a dead weight on the team. Still useful in the poison gym and when I needed my Muk to Sludge Wave. Overall: Turtwig #1 Cyndaquil #2 Piplup #3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
que Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Froakie and Chimchar keep alternating 2nd place, but Torchic has a dominating lead. I hope we can get 100 votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrich Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 On my old computer i picked Charmander and it was shiny. So i kept it solely cause i wanted a black Charizard and it did me justice the beginning of the game with Dragon Rage. In my more recent save file I chose Totodile because it seems glazed over most of the time but its actually decent . Just needs a bit of breeding and its a damn powerhouse. (I'm more of an underdog pokemon trainer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBackwardsLegsMan Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I'm not surprised by the ones that only have 1 vote. Tepig/Emboar is massively outclassed by the other Fire/Fighting starters, Treecko/Sceptile which has a bad type for a lot of the game and horrible stat distribution, and Squirtle/blastoise who also has horrible stat distribution and typing for the early game. Still, a lot of people love squirtle because he's Squirtle, so I though he'd be more popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oozy Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I picked Torchic, because it has been a while since I had that pokemon. Last time was in Pokemon Emerald, can you imagine? o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Raz Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I picked up Totodile for my starter, mostly because its one of my favorite starters. Granted I have yet to restart my game since I first started playing around the time episode 8 was getting released (I started at episode 7). Once Reborn is completely finished & after I do post game stuff I'll probably restart & choose either Fennekin or Froakie.=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
que Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 I guess Squirtle, Treecko and Tepig can be starters for players who like using unpopular Pokemon. x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
