Generation 1 was interesting. I like Bulbasaur the most out of the stage 1 starters, Wartortle out of the stage 2s and Charizard out of the stage 3s.
In fact, Wartortle is really the only middle evolution I like out of every starter in the entire series.
Awesome Turtwig/Torterra am cry.
Although Empoleon is a pretty good excuse not to pick it. But fuck Infernape.
It should be Grass / Dark. That way all the starters can hit every other starter for super effective damage. It would be hilarious.

Wow, megaton. I knew I was going to miss something big because of this stupId final today...
Dewott is probably the best blend of adorable and bonified bad-ass. Too bad his third form is ugly as sin, though.

Alternately, maybe Fire/Ghost. Sort of a Kyuubi-type pokemon.
No love for Grovyle?
This would be my favorite choice after Fire/Ice
You already guessed who I went with.
Pimpoleon, he was a gentleman, a scholar, a penguin, and a mother f***ing steel.
Hah, I was actually being serious.
They could always do something like a more simple XD/Colloseum type game (limited gameplay/pokemon selection) if they wanted.
Or say iOS pokéwalker.
Or even just a handheld version of pokémon box.
Anything that allows a pokémon or two (or even just rare items) to be unlocked on iOS and transferred to X and Y would sell buckloads.

While overall these games look great, they definitely need more polish. I hope these 8-9 months of development GF has left are well-spent... I fear that we may end with a polished but lacking product or a complete but unpolished product because of the (not sure) short development cycle. My hype is still through the roof, nonetheless, but I don't want to set high hopes.
The fact that Fennekin used a Psychic looking attack on Kirlia gives me hope that it's not a Fire-Fighting starter this time. Hope it's secondary type is Psychic, Ghost or Dark. Gonna pick up that stylish dude when I get the game.
But, there's one thing that's been bugging me a lot:
I'm surprised to see the Froakie in first place; I thought the most liked one was Fennekin. Glad to see that most people liked at least one of the starters, though

I interpreted it the same way... I hope I understood it wrong and he was just referring to the fact that we will not be able to catch all Pokémon in this game, but that they will still be modeled and be usable. If my first interpretation is true, the backlash is going to be horrible.I noticed he[Iwata] said 'some' older Pokemon.
I guess it was expecting to much for them to render all past Pokemon in 3D
I hope. I usually don't mind accesories on the MC's design, but those glasses sure look out of place and I hoped that customization would finally be included on the game. The lack of glasses in that picture could just be because of the camera...

The X logo should have pointy tips at the bottom like the legendary it represents.
The Fennec fire starter is by far and away going to be the most popular. Also, is the grass starter cosplaying as a grass Pokemon or something? That concept could make for a hilarious final evolution in ways I won't elaborate.
Not a huge fan of the non-battle visual style, but I'll take it.
I'm sure the leap between X/Y and the following generation 3DS Pokemon installment will be just as impressive visually as the leap between Diamond/Pearl and Black/White.
Good stuff all around? Anyone think it will allow Pokemon trading from past generations? I honestly hope not. I really want something of a fresh start again.

Well, that would be quite better. Fire/Psychic gives an unfair advantage to Fennekin. But I really just don't want pure type starters. :'(
OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
dude Blastoise had CANNONS, motherfucking cannons out of his back, he is like a tank, he is just shitting on everyone.
But yes Charizard is also awesome, but a wannabe dragon.
Treecko is the only decent design from his evolution line. Grovyle and Sceptile are uglier than Jynx and Mr Mime put together.
All the pokemons already have 3D models thanks to the Pokedex app. Besides, no older pokemon animations would mean the game wouldn't be compatible with any version other than itself and its twin.

So a Ninetails Pokemon? Innovative.

Yep I wouldn't worry about there being old pokemon not modeled as they've already finished making all of the 3D models for all of the Pokemon. It would be silly for them to release a game where you couldn't use ones from past generations, so I wouldn't consider this an issue at all.

That's how its been for me for nearly every generation:
Gen 1: squirtle, ivysaur and charizard
Gen 2: totodile, quilava, and meganium (all the final evos I dislike though)
Gen 3: mudkip, grovyle and Blaziken
Gen 4: everything sucks outside turtwig and piplup.
Gen 5: oshawot, samurot, and emperor snake thing.
We'll see how the evos go because I'm inbetween fennekin and Chespin. If I get Chespin I'm naming him Chester. Chespin is kinda goofy and cute but im afraid he'll evolve into a big, fat ugly mole. Fennekin I liked the most initially and they cant screw it up too badly with evolutions unless they make it a fire/fighting blaziken clone.
That's how I was when I picked up Pearl. It was easy enough to get an Charmander egg online to get me rolling.
Totodile was and will always be, the coolest water starter.
Jesus these people and their terrible taste. No great grass starters? Fennekin? Pfft.
I'm just afraid that the red earhair stuff is going to become massive wad of hair.
Gen 1: Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard
Gen 2: Totodile, Quilava, Typhlosion
Gen 3: Mudkip, Grovyle, Swampert
Gen 4: Piplup, Monferno, Empoleon (worst generation starters for sure)
Gen 5: Snivy, Dewott, Serperior
Gen 6: Fennekin, ???, ???
Oh shoot I forgot about Totodile. I stand corrected, he was actually my starter in Gold. He does turn into the abomination of Feraligatr though.

I was always on the blue side as a kid.
Blue, Silver, Diamond. They might not sound connected. But they fucking are.
Don't you start anything...
Anyway X being blue is making my mind up.
Though if the Deer thing is in Y...I might go there.
I'm pessimistic about the final evolutions enough as is, no need to rub it in.

I haven't played Pokemon since Diamond and Pearl, but I'm exited. My childhood was Pokemon, Red, Silver loved them so much.
I like Grovyle but Sceptile is quite the monstrosity
I guess I should ease up on poor Grovyle, but just knowing what it becomes clouds my opinion.
