We've had the capable Grass type starter though in the past, Sceptile. Water is the only type, starter-wise, that has been second rate in comparison.

Nah, thats a bit unfair isnt it? Squirtle and Totodile had swagger and confidence to burn! The only thing distinguishing them from Sceptile is that theyre not giant.

Well, for Generation 6, I think that Ash should not get all three Starters. Usually I would never say this, but if his traveling companions were to be given the other two instead, I think they could be shown off really good and possibly they might evolve and whatnot. Maybe Ash will get Chespin, I'm guessing his new female companion will get Fennekin. But, they could also make him have two of the Starter Pokemon like he did in Sinnoh as well. But, I have the feeling he might get all three.

[shelldude400]

Well Fenekin actually does look quite feminine to me; but that didn't stop Ash getting Snivy I spose... oh wait only Ash's Snivy is the one I consider feminine xD
I think Fennekin would suit a 6th gen female well; it'd be nice if Ash got Froakie and only Froakie but that's unlikely....
He'll probably get Chespin so perhaps the grass and the water type this time round
Chespin might stay in base form and we get a fully evolved water HOOORAYYYY

[pokemonbw01]

Ash better not get all three starters again. Although he should get the fire starter (Fennekin, right?) coz he gets it in every saga.

[Nacreous]

I want Ash to travel with a guy and have a female rival as a semi-companion.Like,just a rival that appears very often but is not part of the main group...kinda like TR.

Ash-Chespin or Froakie

Female rival-Fennekin

Male companion-Chespin or Froakie

your thinking of grass.

When did Ash get a Torchic in Hoenn?

Ash doesn't need anymore fire starters for god sakes.

[Pepsi_Plunge]

Ash doesn't need anymore fire starters for god sakes.

Ofc he does, and we still need a DP and AG remake so he gets Mudkip, Torchic and Piplup.

[dman_dustin]

Ash doesn't need anymore fire starters for god sakes.

But he needs more grass starters?

Seriously he has more grass starters then he does fire and especially water.

I want them to take a break, if Ash doesn't get all three.

And then give Ash a female Fennekin (forget you haters), and a Froakie (forget you haters).

While I would love Chespin to be added too, I think Froakie and Fennekin are fine and good choices.

I have no freaking idea why people only want Ash with 1 starter and yet they choose Chespin.

Um, I'm sorry did you not see his Bulbasaur, Bayleef, Sceptile, Torterra and Snivy?

How about a break?

[Zweilous]

Fennekin for Ash, pls. But if we do get a new girl this time around, I bet she'll grab the fox.

[Rohanator]

Chespin looks so much like Oshawott. Guess we know who'll get spammed in the merchandise and which unevolving mofo Ash is getting this time. :P Make my boy Froakie his power house, please.

[dman_dustin]

Honestly if it has to happen.

Make the new girl get Chespin, I can see Chespin being far more useful to her than Fennekin.

Because we definitely don't need a tiny fox Pokémon being with a girl, trying to be cute, and then it doesn't evolve even though there's not reason for it to not evolve.

At least with Ash's Fennekin, it not evolving would be actually unique since Ash has other Pokémon, and why not leave one of his fire Pokémon unevolved (as in refusing to evolve), or something of that nature, but I'll be more than fine if it does evolve.

Edit: And be honest here people, if Chespin is the most "marketable" why wouldn't they give that to the new girl if she get one. The only reason why Ash got Oshawott was BECAUSE he got all 3 starters. Pull a May/Dawn situation, and I'm sure said girl would've received Oshawott. The only problem that would be is it would be a water starter like Dawn's Piplup, but that would be the only reason it wouldn't happen. Nothing is stopping the situation happening to Chespin however.

True. I am still weary of assuming which one of these Pokemon will be the most popular. Maybe they are revealing the starters early, so they can see which one gets all the buzz in Japan, so that they can prep their evil anime writer hands and choose which mon they will keep unevolved.

I think Froakie looks like it can be the Tepig/Chimcar of the next series ^.^, I can see Ash getting Chespin or a female lead (if they have one), with Fennekin going to a female rival. It would make so much sense, and I bet they are going to make its evolved formed look very sleek.. Kind of like when you compare Purrloin to its evolved form.

If that were the case, they would've given us the final evolved forms, and the least favorite, would've been the Pokémon that doesn't evolve in the anime.

Edit: Oh and I don't think initial most popular = most marketable.

Snivy was the most popular starter yet in the end the most marketable Pokémon that became the most popular was Oshawott. People just felt sorry for Oshawott, and that really changed with Ash's Oshawott.

[foxxface]

Give Chespin to a companion, like Piplup and Dawn. Keep it unevolved if it really does become the big merch seller this gen. I'm hoping for Ash's main rival to be a female with a Fennekin and Ash finally gets the water starter and evolves it fully.

That would be ideal.

I like how we are already content with one of these starters not evolving possibly. The pokemon writers conditioned us well I see..

[AhTreyYou]

Ash shouldn't get the Grass starter they need to break that tradition. He already has a full 6 team of grass types lol. Bulbasaur, Bayleef, Sceptile, Torterra, Snivy and Leavanny

I either want him to get Chespin or Froakie. The first one more though, it's so beast looking lol. Froakie would be epic too though, have a calm water starter for some variety (assuming he would be calm as he looks quite calm in his sprite)
