Chespin is by far the pokemon I'm gonna pick! At the end of the game, they should let you choose one pokemon out of 15: Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Chickorita, Totodile, Torchic, (I heard u liek) Mudkip, Treecko, Chimchar, Piplup, Turtwig, Oshawott, Tepig, or Snivy. Now wouldn't that be cool?

I wouldn't be surprised if they did something like that or something similar. However, since there are so many starters now I think it'd be cool if they allowed us to choose one from each of the 5 previous region trios. It would definitely be nice for newer fans.

And I agree regarding Chespin! As of now it's my favourite of the three new starters and most likely the one I'll choose as my first Gen 6 starter.

This little guy has become my favourite of the base forms, he really snuck up on me as I wasn't all that keen on him when I first saw him. Fennekin is a close second, so it'll all come down to the final evolutions as to who I choose in the end

I'm still getting him though, I may be more of a "Play with Fire" or "RAGE!!!!" Kind of Trainer, but Chespin has really caught my attention! I also enjoy the new battle format, but that doesn't go on this topic though.

I so want him i don't care if most people choose fennekin i've always liked grass types and i liked oshawots design

Fennekin and Froakie are great, but I think I will go with Chespin on whichever game I play through first. I like his design, and I'm intrigued by the possibility of him being a dual Dark type. However, I will check their evolutions before I can be absolutely sure.

I was almost positive I wanted Froakie as my starter, but I think now I want Chespin. He looks really cute in-game and I like that he learns Rollout early on.

I've added a couple of new screenshots for Chespin, as well as Fennekin and Froakie. The more I see of this 3D art style the more I'm liking it.

Chespin is obviously #650 unless there's a pokemon before it like in Gen 5 with vicini. Grass starters are always first in the pokedex with the exception of Generation 5 where victini was before Snivy.

All of the starters are somewhat obviously numbered to be fair but we're specifically going by the official information with our numbering, hence why it hasn't been updated. Plus, yeah, while very unlikely, you never know if they will pull another Victini, so it doesn't hurt to wait for the news to drop verses assuming.
