I'ma use Fennekin in X & Chespin in Y o3o.

At this point Froakie is probably my starter of choice but please release the full evolutionary lines for all 3 so I can make up my mind! :D

IKR, we are almost one month before the international release and no new info of the starters' evolves yet. Seriously, what the frakk is taking Game Freak & Nintendo so long for those images .-.?!??!

Chespin is probably one of the first times I actually really liked a base form since Totodile and Cyndaquil.

I love gen 2, but I was actually pretty disappointed with the gen 4 remakes personally.

They were great games and probably the ones I'd recommend if someone asked me if they had to play ONE Pokemon game which one should it be, but they just didn't recapture the magic of the originals for me.

Also my initial starter picks were Charmander, Totodile, Mudkip, Piplup and Snivy :p

My starters have been- Squirtle (Blue), Charmander (Red), Cyndaquil (Gold) Totodile (Silver), Cyndaquil (Crystal), Treecko (Ruby), Squirtle (FireRed), Bulbasaur (LeafGreen), Treecko (Emerald), Turtwig (Japanese Diamond), Chimchar (Japanese Pearl), Piplup (English Diamon), Turtwig (Platinum), Cyndaquil (HeartGold), Oshawott (White), Tepig (Black), Snivy (Black 2)

Personally I think the reason I don't like the gen 2 games because, at least in the remakes, all the gym leaders were ridiculously unfair.

But, but Oshawott!

I had:
Pikachu... (Charmander in fire red though)
Cyndaquil
Mudkipz
Turtwig
Oshawott in black and Tepig in 2

And I'm going to go for Chespin in X/Y, don't want to know the Evo's yet personally, I'd rather find out during play (Managed it for Diamond and couldn't of been happier at how Turtwig turned out =D) . On the other hand though i do really like Gogoat.. so I might go for Froakie. Either way im going to try and keep away from spoilers/any new poke info from now.

This is the problem I always face with picking the water type. The over-abundance of that type always means there are plenty of cool ones to train, but I've already filled that slot. When it comes to fire types I'm regularly finding myself SOL unless I pick the starter. Thankfully at least Talonflame is there to fill the void this time.
