Favorite 3rd Gen starter?

[Auaria~]

Blaziken and Torchic. >,> They're both awesome.

[Kirisame Marisa]

Mudkip. That was the first starter I picked while playing the Hoenn games, and Swampert only has one type it's weak towards, although it's 4x effective.

[DarumakkaImposter]

When I first got Ruby, I started with a Treecko. Ever since then I always have--I've still picked other things, though.

[Ropav]

Mudkip was always my favorite I don't know why because I love fire types more then water types but I chose Mudkip more using Torchic in a close second and rarely using treecko.

[cookies kill you]

Treecko because its my bro

[Zigh]

Treecko was always my favourite. I thanked Prof. Birch every time for letting me save him with Treecko. *v*

[ansem the wise]

i used treeco in my sapphire and torchic in my emerald. but i like trecco more.

[Shymain]

Mudkip. He's so cute!

[AhTreyYou]

Treecko when I play Emerald, Torchic when I play Ruby and Mudkip when I play Sapphire

[Palamon]

Treecko. It's always been my favorite starter because it's my favorite Pokemon and all~.

[GildedScizor]

I have a general rule when it comes to starters across the generations. There will always be one I love, one I like, and one I will never go near. The only exception is Johto (I love all three of them). I love Torchic, like Treecko, and will never use Mudkip. I love Squirtle, like Charmander and have never come close to using Bulbasaur. I love Piplup, like Turtwig, and won't use Chimchar. And lastly I love Snivy, like Oshawott, and won't go near Tepig.

[Akriloth]

I've always been in love with Mudkip from the day I first saw him.

[Charoshi]

This is the only gen I've never had an outright favourite. At first it was Torchic, then it Treecko and then it was Mudkip. It's flip-flopped so often that I really don't have a definite favourite like every other gen.

[Spudnugget1]

I've always been a fan of Treecko, but when the time finally dawned upon me to shell out money for a link cable and complete the dex, I began to like Torchic more. For practical purposes, Mudkip is the best, but the designs of his evolutions don't scream "Awesomecakes" to me.

[Bloodflowers]

Treecko! I love how Sceptile's movepool is rather varied in the 4th gen, in comparison to other Grass-types pokes and in general aswell. Very cool

[Bolt the Cat]

Torchic. Fire/Fighting is an awesome type combination (or at least it used to be until Game Freak spammed on the Fire starters three generations in a row), it's really cool looking, and learns some neat moves (Blaze Kick, Sky Uppercut, etc.)

[Cutty]

Mudkip as well. Swampelt is a really strong and useful pokemon. Especially w/ surf and earthquake.
Oh, and the shiny pawns.

[Jaguartail]

Mudkip. Of course.

[Rebelleon]

Treecko > Sceptile line. Dragon Claw + Leaf Blade helped exp share my Dex up. Also like Grovyle as it is for a False Swiper.

[AcePeter]

I love them all and have them all!
