You can also trade any starter for 1:1 on the GTS. It's super easy and everyone has a tonne of them.

You can generally get them on Wondertrade too but that isn't as guaranteed.

Oh, also, there's an online event going on for a ludicrous Speed Boost Torchic. I used it in only a few of my battles and it STILL out-leveled over half my team until I switched it out to train another Pokemon. It almost never saw the light of day. Scary.

I have it. I said so in my post.

Oh whoops, totally misread that, sorry!

That depends. Which set of version exclusive monsters do you prefer?

Damn, that's a tough choice... glancing through that, X has Pinsir and Houndour, but Y has Shellder and Kabuto... 
I think overall I might go with X, even if I don't like the Legendary. It has a bunch of Pokemon I remember, and Poochyena looks pretty cool, too.

...Okay, lock me in. Buying X when I have money.

X has Staryu/Starmie one of the best Sweeping pokemon out there, Me? I got X myself because i wanted the Legendary Fairy-type pokemon, Xerneas, Staryu being wild in it was a bonus, but usually i pick the one with Staryu.

Agh. Braixen looks dumb. I wish I had picked a different starter.

[Urist Imiknorris]

All starters' middle evolutions look dumb.

Pikachu used Thundershock!
Critical hit!
You are paralyzed!
You are unable to move!

I hate this game sometimes.

The funny part is that it never happens to the enemy Pokemon either. Paralysis, sure, but it's rare that they're unable to move, so I stopped depending on Paralysis for anything other than the speed reduction.

Incidentally, I had a run-in with a flock of Mareep and my lead pokemon ended up being paralyzed and its speed reduced to minimum through Cotton Spore. It spent about 5 turns doing all of jack shit. I'm not sure if I was just unlucky or if there's a correlation between a Pokemon's speed and the chances of being unable to move from paralysis, considering the chances of being unable to move are only 25%.

[Elephant Parade]

The chance of being unable to move is fixed. 25%, I think. Also, which Kanto starter to pick...

I so want Mega Charizard, but I'm already keeping two fire-types around. Hmm.

If one of you is Goodwin, I like the way you fight. Good stuff! Creative moves with nonconventional pokemon I love it!

Goodwin is me, but I share the cart with my brother, and he was the one at the controls for that. He reported that the Zombie Tree tactic worked, which is what I wanted to experiment with though.

What.

Trevenant with a defensive build and Natural Cure. Fights for as long as it can, uses rest, switches out, cures sleep with natural cure, and is ready to repeat the process. Read about it on Smogon and decided to give it a try. Tough to get rid of if your opponent don't have STAB super-effective moves or a special attacking set-up sweeper.

Actualy Quiladin looks awesome compared to Chesnaught. Frogadier  looks better than Greninja beacuse Greninja abandons the bubbles on the neck for it's tongue.
Delphox on the other hand looks better than Braixen
Delphox is my favorite of  them by design, I mean c'mon: it's a pokemon MIKO, and Fire-psychic, heck yeah!
Greninja is nice that we have a water-dark starter able to use both water and dark pulse effectively.
and Chesnaught is an awesome offensive tank with a decent type.

The starters may not look like much outside Quiladin and Delphox but they're the best starters since Hoenn.

* Kicks Neonevin for calling Gen 5 ugly.

Really? The generation that feels like it is meant to be ugly (Urban blight and all that).

Trubish is looking at you angry right now

I get what you mean, yeah. Trubbish and Garbodor are literally just bags of filth left outside.
Scraggy and Scrafty are meant to be like hoodlums that cause trouble (right down to their constantly having to hold their pants up, and in Scrafty's case a flap of skin on its neck resembling a hood)

And...Krookodile being dark type.
Yeah Gen5's theme was the bad-side of urban places.
