Starter Speculation/Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

[Xadium]

For me, the regions are probably

Hoenn>Johto>Kanto>Unova>Sinnoh

I thoroughly enjoyed all of them, however.

[Luxvan]

My face when froakie is the last of the 3 starters

Arceus help your soul when you realize that the water starter is always listed last and that Pokedex numbers are generally worthless.

I like how you think

For me, I didn't find Kanto as enjoyable. I didn't grow up with it, though, but I did kind of grow up with the remakes, because Gen. 3 was my childhood.

Froakie's my second favorite water type starter, next to Mudkip.

[MonfernoFreak]

I've loved Fennekin and Chespin from the get-go but I preferred Fennekin. Chespin is really growing into me and I might actually like it more than Fennekin. I hope he doesn't maake me creak my chain after 5 gens of Fire-type starters.

I've had 5 gens of Fire Starters too, but I'm not afraid to end my reign for my little Chespin!! Unless Fennekin becomes badass which I'm sorry, but I highly doubt...

How could you put Sinnoh last :'(

It almost makes me wish Chespin's evolved forms suck.

[Icepath]

I love Sinnoh, but it wasn't my favorite XD

The soundtrack in it was the best, imo

[Shadow♠]

Guess I'll do this too.

Hoenn>Kanto>Sinnoh>Johto>Unova in terms of starters.

Gen VI I believe will fall either into 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place for me.

[Autis-misc]

Gen 6>Unova>Sinnoh>Hoenn>Johto>Kanto

I don't hate any games. In fact, I'll always like the newer games more than the older ones because The New games give you the chance to train new pokemon with old pokemon, plus the regions always look better IMO. I love the new regions Graphics compared to Unova, and I said the same thing about Unova> Sinnoh. But this is no way implies I hate Kanto. I like it, just not as much as the newer gens. Actually, If I included the Remakes, it would go...

Gen VI>Unova>Johto>Sinnoh>Kanto>Hoenn

Mainly because There isn't a R/S remake. I like Hoenn as much as the next guy, but I love the things they did in HG/SS and FR/LG since they came out afterward. I do not like one more than the other, I just enjoy the more recent (Including Remakes) more than the last game they released.

[Plus side down side]

In terms of starters, for me it goes:
Hoenn>Kanto>Unova>Johto>Sinnoh

[Icepath]

I was upset about the 3D graphics at first, but then I realized why they did it. It would seem kind of stupid to out 2-D graphics in a game meant to be for the 3DS, am I right?

Besides, graphics shouldn't ruin a game. The storylines just keep getting better, so I'm excited for the games.

I probably will end up spoiling, but oh well XD

[Specter Vyle]

For starters:

Johto>Unova>Hoenn=Sinnoh

I won't really form much of an opinion about Hoenn. The starters are cool and have their own useful niches, but I've never really bothered using any of them aside from Treecko.
Johto has the worst starters IMO. They're just too one-dimensional both in-game and competitively. It'd help if they had a secondary typing, but Feraligatr capable of learning Dragon Dance is is good enough for me.

Meh. Sinnoh's starters' evolutionary line have some of the best designs in the games. Pretty much on par with Hoenn.

Gen. IV's starters look pleasing, though. And if Chespin evolves into a Grass/Rock or Grass/Fighting, then they'll be #1.

[Standard Luxury]

I really liked Hoenn, it just felt so big with all those water routes and the extra game content they added with emerald just made it the best region for me. The starters were good too

[EliJolesy]

^^^ So off the topic... Kinda.

Anyways I'm starting to wonder if Game Freak is just like "Where is all this dual typing speculation coming from?? OOOHHH they actually think we showed those second moves for a reason. What a doofus!" And just laughing at our stupidity. Cause I'm starting to think they'll be mainly pure, maybe one dual type.

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

It's kind of bad on our half as well, because we're the ones speculating and then we set ourselves up for disappointment. But, I do want dual types a lot though.

[Golden_Latias]

For regions, in my opinion:

Unova > Johto > Hoenn > Sinnoh > Kanto

And starters:

Hoenn > Unova > Kanto > Sinnoh > Johto

But back on topic, yeah, I don't think they're all going to be dual type. It would be cool, but I agree with whoever said earlier I want no dual types or I want all of them to wind up being dual typed.

I honestly wouldn't care. I loved Serperior and Typhlosion, and I'd have no trouble loving the starters now.

But I hope it isn't the case because the whining would never end.

[Zyon]

For me they go like this.
Johto>Unova>Kanto>Hoenn>Sinnoh

Johto, Unova, and Kanto are actually a tie. Johto having two regions in one game, Unova for the effects and content, and Kanto being my childhood as well red/blue being my very first games ever.

How could you put Sinnoh last :'(

Reason why I have Sinnoh last, even though I love all the games. Sinnoh just never stood out to me like the rest, for the most part I actually forget about it most of the time.
Great game just didn't have a long lasting effect on me like the other's :/

But the sixth gen now might take 1st or 2nd place for me. As well for me the sixth gen starters will end up like like Hoenn, I'll like playing through with them all verses favoring just one or two of them. example:
Kanto- Charmander
Johto- Cyndaquil, Totodile
Hoenn- Torchic, Treecko, Mudkip
Sinnoh- Chimchar, Piplup
Unova- Tepig, Oshawott

[EliJolesy]

Dual types would be good. Even though I don't plan on getting Froakie I hope he turns out Fighting. No idea why!

[Specter Vyle]

Same thing for Chespin. I honestly hope at least one starter gets a secondary type. (No more Fire/Fighting, though)

[strikeZone13]

Man when did this fav gen stuff start?
Gen3>the rest
