Favorite And Least Favorite Gen 6 Starters?

[TheBluAssassin]

For the 2nd Generation in a row, Grass is my favorite starter, and Fire is my least favorite (although Delphox has the best typing with Fire/Psychic), which is a far cry from the days that Fire was my favorite and Grass was my least favorite. Okay, I will admit, both Chespin and Quiladin suck major ass, and Froakie and Frogadier are my favorite 1st and 2nd stage Gen 6 Starter, but then Chesnaught came along and kicked an ungodly amount of ass. Seriously, look at him:

Chesnaught is not a Pokemon you want to mess with. He is pretty much the ultimate Grass Starter badass. Does he look like a Pokemon you want to cross? Does he look like a Pokemon that cares about your safety? No, Chesnaught can and will **** you up. Seriously, he will kick your pathetic ass. Chesnaught has to be my new favorite Grass Starter. Sorry, Sceptile.

I haven't got either game yet, but I'm very fond of the look of Froakie and his evolved forms. Chespin and Quilladin are okay, but they don't do anything for me especially. Chesnaught however looks fantastic. Fennekin and Braxien look magnificent, although I they lose that somewhat when they become Delphox.

 

[UltiMario]

Everyone but Quilladin is cool

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I don't like Delphox

 

[mood4food77]

1st form: froakie, it's really close but i do like the other two forms better
2nd form: quilladin, not even close, the other 2 second forms are pretty badass and this is a round...thing?
3rd form: delphox, it's not bad, the other 2 are just way cooler

still way better than the 5th gen starters, only snivy holds up

I actually like Quilladin, though he admittedly isn't my favorite. I actually think Braixen might be my favorite.

I still hate Greninja.

 

[sWiTcHeRoO [疾~斬]]

I chose Fennekin as my starter but tbh I think I'm liking Greninja way more than the other two now (coughproteancough). Delphox is alright and I've yet to train a Chesnaught but they're all pretty baller.
If I had to pick though, Greninja's my favorite and Chesnaught would go last, but again, I haven't trained one yet so I don't really have any opinions on it. It does look cool though but that's about it.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Chespin's line has been my favorite since the group was first revealed. Almost hopped on the Fennekin train once Quilladin was revealed but the little guy really grew on me during my play-through.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I liked my Greninja and all, I was team Froakie from day 1

BUT my favorite starter in Gen 6 is Blastoise

Dark Pulse AND Aura Sphere, not to mention in his mega form Water Pulse does as much damage as Surf AND has a high chance of confusing the opponent

 

[Overtaken]

First stage:
All three were well done here. I have to give it to Chespin though. It's fundamentally the most creative of the three, if even that just means it is a chipmunk in a drugrug

Second stage:
I'm backing Quilladin on this one all way. In hindsight, he is utterly out of place and doesn't make much sense in connecting Chespin to Chestnaught, but in his own right he is pretty appealing. He reminds me of a friendlier looking Shiftry. Braxien is a close second, they started down the right track here, and conversely seeing Frogadier made me anxious. His long head in partular was a little off putting.

Third stage:
Yeah, I have to give this one to Greninja by a hair. Very naturally cool and aesthically minded design and character. Chestnaught is visually, might I say, not exaggerated enough, his stance is too nuetral and face is a little too cute for what the rest of him looks like. Delphox is just a hot mess of stupid, sorry

On a side note: Chespin's line got the best shiny

 

[Fire Tactician]

Chespin is adorable and I have a soft spot for Grass starters, so he's easily my favorite. Chesnaught being a tank helps him out quite a bit.

Something about Fennekin has always seemed "off" to me. Maybe it's because it reminds me of Vulpix and Zorua too much, or maybe because I think it looks more like a midgame Pokemon than a Starter. It's evolutions are alright, but they're not as cool as Froakie's evolutions (Greninja being in Smash does help out quite a bit). I guess she's (he's?) my least favorite.

 

[Hapless Hero]

Water. Not only is Greninja the best HM slave for in-game use, but with Protean, Greninja is the only serious competitive threat in the Gen 6 starters. To top it off, it's a ninja frog with a scarf. How much more awesome can you get? Top-tier starter right there.

 

[Mask and Mirror]

Usually I go for grass type, but Fennekin is so lovely I had to make an exception this one time.

 

[Heroine of Winds]

Favorite is Fennekin because it's the cutest one & I like its evolution stages. Least favorite is Chespin. Never was a fan of grass starters excluding Turtwig & Snivy.

 

[Deleted member]

All three of their first stages were adorable and I was finding it really hard to choose but I decided to go with Chespin.

Quilladin honestly caught me off guard. It's cute in someways, but I much prefer Chespin.
Braixen and Frogadier both look cool.

Delphox last evolutions just doesn't appeal to me. I much prefer Fennekin or Braixen.
Greninja and Chesnaugh look awesome!

 

[Heroine of Winds]

Delphox last evolutions just doesn't appeal to me. I much prefer Fennekin or Braixen.
Greninja and Chesnaugh look awesome!

Imho, Chesnaught looked a lot worse than Delphox. It looked kinda ugly to me.

 

[L9999]

Greninja. He is cool. Quilladin looks atrocious, it's like Ken or however designed him gave up and just,.....drew that thing. Not to mention he is REALLY slow. Brawl Ganon slow.

 

[Wes762]

Favorite: Greninja because of obvious reasons. Least favorite: Chesnaught because he looks plain dumb.

 

[CMonster1221]

Greninja was pretty sweet first time I did not go with a firetype for in game play. Not like it mattered since Zard is available from the start as well.

 

[KoE]

Greninja all the way. I love his design so much. When I first saw Frogadier I was skeptical, I wasn't a fan, but once I saw Greninja, I knew it would be based-god tier.

 

[IsmaR]

Chespin mustard race. I admit I was a bit skeptical at first, given it was the first time the Grass line has been mammals (or anything not reptiles for that matter), but it didn't take much time for me to warm up to them (I immediately loved Chesnaught).

Least favorite was Froakie line. Kinda the opposite situation, with me squeeing over Froakie itself at first, but progressively liking the line less and less as more was shown. I actually liked the fake "leaked" final form that resembled Frogadier more than Greninja.

 

[Starry.]

..........

 

[Jigglymaster]

I have a feeling I'm the only one that likes Delphox. Maybe I just have a habit of liking the least favorite pokemon or something... (coming from a person who also loves Oshawott and Jigglypuff) but honestly, its my favorite Final Evolution of any starter pokemon ever. It's just really cool looking and what not haha. I envy Fennekin's love and it kinda sucks that Fennekin is so popular that it rules out the possibility of Delphox ever getting any sort of recognition.

Makes me sad whenever I see anyone talk about how disappointing they were with Delphox :C

 

[ELITEWarri0r115]

Favorite gen 6 starter... Fenniken
Least favorite... Froakie

 

[Muskrat Catcher]

Well, I don't want to invoke any hate, and I know that my opinion is unpopular, but I wasn't particularly fond of the starter lineup this generation. I picked froakie/greninja, and they were cool and all, but they weren't really enjoyable in pokémon amie, and they just didn't really give me that pride that made me want to tell people all about how my starter was the best. I still believe that froakie/greninja are the coolest of this generation, considering that the other two just aren't . . . appealing to me either aesthetically or statistically. I really can't explain what makes a pokémon asthetically appealing to me, but when I see one that I like, I just know it. Statistically however, I tend to favor defensively inclined pokémon, and while chespin was defensive, he just wasn't cool in my eyes. I have many favorites that are not defensive, but I've just noticed that very visible trend in pokémon I like. (here comes the unpopular part) It is my opinion that this generation's starters are the least intriguing to me out of all of them. I appreciate the theif, paladin, mage element, and their typings are pretty cool, but between the three, they just aren't as cool as past generations.

 

[Stick Dude]

1. Froakie/Frogadier/Greninja
2. Chespin/Quilladin/Chesnaught
3. Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

1. Chespin/Quilladin/Chesnaught
2. Froakie/Frogadier/Greninja
3. Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox

 

[dezeray112]

For me:

1. Froakie/Frogadier/Greninja
2. Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox
3. Chespin/Quilladin/Chesnaught

 

[finalark]

Quilladin is the single most wonderfully stupid thing to ever come out of Pokemon.

 

[LunarWingCloud]

I always go with the Water-type starter.

Always.

 

[Murlough]

Felt like Gen 5 to me. Great Gen for the most part, lame as crap starters. I didn't get the Gen 6 games because I don't own a 3ds but if I did I'd probably go for Fennekin.

Chesnaut is cool but I prefer starters that are more offensive.

And Greninja is only fun with protean for me.

 

[Kneutronic]

Favorite is Froakie.
Thanks to Protean and their usable offenses, the Froakie line make excellent attackers that get STAB off of everything. The design for Greninja also looks pretty dang cool; a tongue for a scarf is a pretty funny idea.

Least favorite is Fennekin.
I found the Fennekin line to be rather unappealing to me. I thought their designs were rather cutesy and not very threatening. Plus... Magician is just an ability I wasn't very fond in. I wish they got something better for their Hidden Abiity.

 

[Moorthen]

Favorite: Froakie because it's adorable.

Least Favorite: Chespin. Its design does nothing for me.

Greninja and Delphox are tied for my favorite of the starter's final evolutions.
