I like your enthusiasm about everything. XD

Tepig, Snivy, or Oshawott?

Tepig will evolve into Chaoboo and then Emboar, becoming both fire and fighting type pokemon. This is the only starter where the evolution gains a new type. Tepig is great at the beginning because there are a lot of grass pokemon in the first couple of towns. However, there are so many fire type pokemon later on in this game that you may not want to pick a fire starter. If you get the Liberty Ticket and catch the legendary Victini, it is Fire/Psychic. Also, if you are playing Pokemon Black, your headline legendary Reshiram is Fire/Dragon.

Snivy will evolve into Servine and then Serperior. Snivy will be useful when you are going through caves and bodies of waters because both rock and water are weak to grass. However, he will be weak in the desert where pokemon know fire moves and in the forests where bugs live.

Oshawott will evolve into Dewott and then Samurwott. Water pokemon are important because there are quite a few TM and HM water moves that you will need for the game such as Whirlpool, Surf, Waterfall, and Dive. Samurwott can learn 5 out of the 6 HMs in the game, making it quite valuable.

No matter which starter you pick, you will get one of the element monkeys: Pansage (grass), Pansear (fire), or Panpour (water) from a lady outside of the Dreamyard. You will get the monkey that can compensate for your starter's weakness. For example, if you picked Snivy, you will get a Panpour.

With all the added elements to make sure the game is "equally hard" or "equally easy" for everyone, you can't go wrong with any of the starters this time around!


Thar you go.

Serperior <3

Samurott is ok. I have an Oshawott in my white.

Emboar, just no. I am one of the haters of Emboar's design and typing. My brother likes it though :P

His name.

It sounds way better in japanese. "Tsutarja"  :D

Serperior's atk and sp. atk stats are meh. You can still set up with Coil/Clam Mind, but in game that's meh.
Samurott and Emboar are better stat wise. Slower than Serperior but Emboar have Nitro Charge.

Thanks. For a moment there I was worried, though. I almost needed to blow you.

Snivy and his evos are only really very good for defense. They aren't very remarkable. Tepig or Oshawott would be the way to go for stats. Snivy and his evos look better, though, and I picked him my first time through.
