Which Gen. 6 starter will be chosen? *Possible Spoilers*

[Street Comedy]

Honestly, Froakie looks the cutest to me with its glasses-looking nose and cloud backpack. He actually looks like a wizard to me, and I hope Ash picks him...unfortunately, we're making votes based on which one Ash WILL choose rather than which one we want him to choose, and that's why I picked Fennekin.

Looking at the fan's opinions on different forums, Froakie seems like the least popular.

Hmm...they must not have seen the .gif in my sig right now. Well, the fox is major furry material, so...

[NintendoJunkie]

Yeah, especially if he turns out fire/fighting like the last 3 gens, then next thing you know, his evolutions will be anthromorphic and.. yeah >.>

...What are you talking about?

What I Want to Happen: They'll surprise us and not give him any.

The female companion will get one, his rival will get the other, and a third recurring character will showcase the last.

What I Expect to Happen: He'll get all three again.

The female companion will not get one, his rival will get the one strong to his favored starter, and a weak recurring character will showcase the last.

I want to see if the writers can pull off a team without a Starter carrying it.

[Zorocario]

Ash will capture a Chespin, it will probably be the leader of a group of Chespin or it will probably be the silly one and weakest of the group (Chespin is going to evolve all the way). He will either then find a Fennekin that has been mistreated or abused by it's prior trainer and then it will chose to join Ash on his journey. Froakie well, IDK about this little guy. He can either be the Piplup/Oshawott/Totodile of the region, or...... This will be the only starter captured by Ash and it will be his first fully evolved water type starter.

That's even worse favoritism.

So An00bis in your what you want. What starter Pokémon do you feel needs to horribly be screwed over, because it's relegated to a recurring character we may only see once every 15 episodes. The starters will be on the main cast, because that's THE only way feasible to show them off "fairly and equally" not that's happening.

Can I choose the last biased poll option without coming off as a whiny whiner. Seriously "the writers are going to wuss out and give him all three" yeah that's really what I want to be associated with. A whiner.

I want all three, because I love the personalities I gave to Ash's hypothetical Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie. I liked them and I liked to see them under Ash.

BUT I can live without Chespin. So I choose female Fennekin and Froakie.

Let Ash take a break from the grass starters, I want to see him with a non grass starter and use it during the region for once. And no Leavanny doesn't count, unless you plan on ignoring Snivy through the whole argument which is WRONG. I'm talking something like Torkoal, Corphish, Buizel. I'm not talking about Kingler, Lapras, Palpitoad, and Leavanny.
--------------------

But there's nothing I can do, I'm forced to watch Pokémon anime where Ash only has a Chespin. Yeah, as if that's really the best starter for him. As if Buizel and Oshawott animals weren't enough. Let's give him a grass variant, and then maybe a fire variant as well.

Sure, go ahread. It's not like the poll has many options anyway.

[dman_dustin]

See here's why I want Ash with all three:

Chespin (Male): Chespin looks like a Pokémon that if Ash was going to catch, Ash would stumble upon weird looking trees (don't know why but just for scenario sake), and then a Chespin would appear and seem to be doing something important. Chespin would have a very friendly and bubbly personality, and would happily greet "Ash" even though Ash is a complete stranger. Cue, catching the thing. Chespin after being capture, is a bubbly Pokémon who is very friendly, trying to meet and greet everyone, as well as seems to always have something to do. Ash would rely on Chespin for when things get messy, and Chespin would be the go-to Pokémon for fixing problems, but from a happy grateful perspective. Chespin would be a fairly good fighter, always finding ways to use innovative strategies to win, even if Ash isn't expecting them. I liken Ash's Chespin as a friendly-bubbly-busy-inventor type.

Fennekin (Female)- I really don't want Fennekin to be a fire type that's in trouble or was abused, or abandoned but that'll likely happen. I can't think of the capture method, but I can see Ash taking a real liking to Fennekin, perhaps even an Oshawott similarity, where Ash focuses on Fennekin and Fennekin wants to be with him, however that may or may not interfere with my idea of her personality. Anyway I see Fennekin as lazy, do it herself type Pokémon. She'll be seen curled up and resting whenever she's out of her Poke ball. She'll only (initially) put half-a-heart into battling, but respects Ash enough that she won't straight up disobey him if he wants to use her. That said, Fennekin's personality takes a major shift change when she is attacked or is hurt in some fashion. In this case Fennekin will become vicious and will battle to the bitter end. I could potentially see lot of storylines stemming from this. In general if Fennekin puts her heart into it, she can battle really decently. Personally I can't wait for Fennekin's evolutions, but of all the starters, I'm fine if she doesn't evolve.

Froakie- Of all of Ash's hypothetical starters, I want Froakie to be the most determined, badass Pokémon but in the beginning disappoints. I want Froakie to be a straight up battler, like battling, and enjoys doing it. But initially for comic relief, being a battler doesn't always mean your good at it. So while Ash works on Froakie's strength, maybe with the occasional "odd" win here and there, nearly every opponent it goes up against is "much" bigger than it, and it fights it's hard out, only for the opponent to hit it once, and cause Froakie to slam into a solid object, and nearly knocked out. Then eventually it can improve over time, and who knows maybe it can evolve as well.
-------------

Granted that won't happen exactly, but I'd love it if it did happen like that and I would extremely grateful.

Also if need be, if Fennekin does evolve into a psychic type or is one "herself" then I guess some of that can be incorporated into her character. Maybe by saving Ash from danger or something.

[Platinum fan.]

It won't happen but I would love it if Ash got no starters at all and this would be the best region he did well in with a team of Pokemon types he normally doesn't use. That would really be different. It would be even better if they abolished the "Ash must have a generic fire/grass/water types on his team" rule but that's to creative for the writers to even consider full time.

I hope they go the AG route. I hate seeing all three starters with Ash. At this point I hate seeing any starter with Ash if only because he has multiple grass, fire, and water types rotting away at Oaks lab already and it's getting insane, and people complain about to many main girls on the cast. If I had to give him one it would be Chespin. Simply because it's my least fave designed one. Hope the girl and the other character get Froakie and Fennekin. Being purely bias

yeah your right, that's what the anime needs to send as a message.

The starters suck so badly Ash isn't using any of them. Instead he's choosing the "cooler" Pokémon who aren't starters.

Yeah I don't see that happening with Ash being the FACE of the anime.

[Fearless123]

He usually gets the grass-type first, the water-type second and the fire-type last.

[PokeMaster366]

Nah. It's usually Grass first, Fire second, and Water last. In Unova, however, It was Water first, Fire second, and Grass third. If he gets only one or two starters, it is normally the grass one that is obtained first.

Personally, I would want the Fire starter to have a tragic past just so one of the other starters can call him/her out about how their tragic past is never grounds for special treatment and how compared to the past of a certain other Pokemon (the grass or water starter), they went through heaven (I was kind of expecting Snivy to have this sort of talk with Tepig/Pignite).

[An00bis]

Arguably, whichever Starter the Female Companion will get will have either comparable (Torchic to Treeko) or more (Piplup to either of Ash's) screen time to Ash's Pokemon. Ash usually has the biggest Team so he has to spread his screen time out among a whole team of Pokemon. The Female usually has a smaller Team then Ash's in comparison so whatever she has we should be seeing more of.

As far as the third Starter goes ... since Kanto we've always had one that's gotten the short end of the stick. I don't think it'd matter where it goes. Whether it's with Ash or someone else it's going to be screwed over.

[CyberCubed]

I believe the water one. No real reason.

I'm only referring to the one you're deciding needs to go with a recurring character and only relegated to said recurring character, which we'll see even less than Ash's Unova starters we see now.

[1rkhachatryan]

Hopefully teh froggy since he is actually unique and not made for 7 year old girls.

[Manene!]

I'm hoping Ash gets Froakie. And only Froakie. Ash needs a fully evolved Water-type starter.

If Cilan stays, give him Chespin since they look alike. Then give the new girl Fennekin

[Ciccone]

Ash should get the Queen of the Foxes, Fennekin. It's about time he caught a graceful Pokemon. Froakie and Chespin just won't cut it I'm afraid.

[k6666]

umm maybe he will get chespin or fennekin
i think the writer wont give froakie cause ash already have frog like pokemon
but that my oppinion
what i want ash get froakie and only froakie so he can evo it to final stage
his rival got chespin
and girl got fennekin
i dont want ash get three of them or two of them cause just one of them who got evolve or if some starter evo to his final stage , the other got pity treatment aka infernape & torterra
i love how they handle Hoenn saga
