Cryptic Blaze

Blinded by the light
I chose Torchic first. I liked the fire/fighting typing of Blaziken.

Torchic. Ok, Sapphire was my first ever Pokemon game, and I wasn't exactly the best with the elemental weakness system, so when I saw that I had to fight off a poochyena, I figured that the fire would burn his fur and do extra damage. XD

I also forgot to teach my Blaziken Blaze kick XD

I chose Mudkip. I needed a Pokemon to Surf, but none of the wild Water Pokemon in Hoenn can use Surf perfectly. Wailmer is a good Pokemon, but it's very slow and you can't catch it until you're near the end of the game.
 

Misty Lover17

Water Trainer
I chose Mudkip.

First of all I love Water type Pokemon, and of course, I wanted to defeat my first gym battle, which is a Rock type gym, more easily..^
 
I've used every Hoenn starter. Treecko in my first Sapphire runthrough, Torchic in Emerald, and now I'm using Mudkip in my restarted Sapphire file.

I've chosen them all. I honestly can't remember who I picked when I first got Ruby, but I've had all three starters over time. I've picked Torchic a good number of times since it ends up being really strong, though I think I've picked Treecko the most out of anyone. Mudkip was definitely a favorite of mine, but I haven't really picked one in a very long time.

I've also picked all of them and I personally think Sceptile is the most fun to play with but I first picked Torchic because I used to pick only fire.

Torchick.

Don't really like Treeco since he's Grass only, and Mudkip.. Tons of other water pokemon to choose from imo.

Just like the Fight/Fire combination.
 

Starlight Aurate

Just a fallen star
On my first game, I chose Mudkip, for reasons I can't remember.

On my second file, I chose Treecko, because she wasn't Mudkip pretty much.

to the rescue !
I chose Torchic. I always go with the Fire Starter because I love fire types.
I have a Blaziken, Charizard, Typhlosion, and now Infernape. But for Black/White, I think I want the water starter because it's just SO cute. :D
I loved fire types, but that was all before Stealth Rock T_T
Now my Charizard stays in the box most of the times. :(

I chose them all. I have all three games too which none of them I bought, my friends gave me them.
 

GastlyMan

Ghost Type Trainer
^^All three games? Awesome. I wish I had Ruby, for getting, say, a zangoose.
Well the first game I ever played was when I borrowed Emerald from my friend a while back. I didn't want to delete his save file (turned out later that he didn't want it anyway though), so I played through the first part of the game a bunch of times with each of the starters.

So when I got Sapphire, I decided to go with Mudkip - I like water types anyway.
I chose Treecko in Emerald though.

I chose Treecko. Because he looked coolest and because I always choose the grass starter.

I picked Torchic. It was cute, plus I'm partial to fire types. Though I did have kind of a hard time choosing between Torchic and Mudkip, but I'm glad I picked Torchic because it's amazing. Haha.

I picked Torchic. He has awesome potential to be a Physical Sweeper and great movepool. Also, looks kinda cool.
