I'm going to pick Tepig because I like how it's final evolution looks like Ganon from The Legend of Zelda (even though a lot of people don't seem to like it). I also like Snivy and its fully evolved Serperior. I like Oshawott and Dewott. I really don't care for Samurott at all.

I'll pick Tepig. I always pick water starters and I just reached the Elite 4 in Platinum with Torterra. I just started HG with Cyndaquil, so I guess I'm giving fire starters some love.

Oh yeah, and his nickname will be Kimbo. He's a fighting type and kind of reminds me of Kimbo Slice. Google him.

I couldnt decide so Im going for all 3. Tepig on black and both Snivy and Oshawott on White :)

I think Snivy just edges the other two out though.

Oshawott, I played the japanese a bit and well, I tried all 3 starters out.
I liked Oshawott better then the others and lucky for me also the last evolution was more my prefrence.
Snivy's line is nice in looks too but well, playing with Snivy wasn't so wonderfull (to me)
And Tepig is cute first but omg his final evolution is just.. blergh to me XD also, well ... it's been a few times now that the fire starts evo are fire/fight
And i seen a nicer fighting pokemon that i want in my team <3

#495. Snivy. [More info here.]
:: Type: Grass
:: Ability: Overgrow/Perversity (Dream World)
:: Evolution Chain: Snivy >> Servine (Lv17) >> Serperior (Lv36)
:: Base Stats: HP (45), Attack (45), Defense (55), Sp. Attack (45), Sp. Defense (55), Speed (63)

Picking this one. I don't usually choose grass starters, but I just love its final evolution form.

I'm not really keen on the other starters either =\ I like Oshawott but I don't like his final form really. Maybe I'll grow into it.

Much as I would adore picking Tepig, I can't stand for another fire/fighting type pokemon in my team for a good long while.

So, I will be picking Oshawott, because it's cute but it evolves into a cool looking pokemon!

I Choose You!

Oshawott because he is the coolest final evolution
Tepig and its evolution just looks stupid and ugly
Snivy was a second choice but Grass type has never really appealed to me since Bulbasaur
 

LostMetagross

He's Lost. He Stong.
Sonic sandslash it's not that I dont respect your opinion but FYI the other two arent ugly. So shut up. ThEre awesome. If you saw some massive dude with flaming shoulders.. Would you call him ugly. Well apparently you would. Plus oshawott has no purpose. Embours there to kill. And lose hp. Snivy whip you with speed and defend. Oshawotts there to... Look cute. Not starter materiel. Soz but i win

Opinions. People have them.

Rudeness. Reported.

If I saw a dude with flaming shoulders, I wouldn't call him cool.

Plus oshawott has no purpose.
Doesn't make sense.

Embours there to kill.
Samurott destroys Emboar in battle.

And lose hp.
???

Snivy whip you with speed and defend.
And then destroyed by Megahorn, Ice Beam or Air Slash.

Oshawotts there to... Look cute. Not starter materiel. Soz but i win
No, you don't.

No, you don't.

Haha ever thing the good dr. said was stated perfectly. Looks like lost metagross should get back under his bridge.

Other news. Im getting oshawott cause well its like a samuri, sea lion, and nowhal hybrid kick arse poke. Then on black tepig because its grown on me a bunch. And on a replay of black snivy. Though I find grass starters useless.

I pick Tepig. I like the way how fire type starter pokemon were designed. And, tts evolution looks amazing.

Snivy, of course. Grass-types are my favorites and I simply adore defensive/bulky Pokemon!
