X: Eating a twig fills it with energy, and its roomy ears give vent to air hotter than 390 degrees Fahrenheit.

There's going to be alot of people choosing Fennekin..
But how much, the world may never know; I never chose Tepig..

But this time once the games come out,
I'll go back to choosing Fire types..
but first; I'll just wait until all of the evos come out.
 
Fennekin has a surprisingly small move set, even compared to the other starters. That, along with general fire-type weaknesses, makes me disinclined to choose it as my starter. Also, given the aforementioned reasons, I'm not sure why so many people are keen on this pokemon, it seems to be one that would require a lot of planning in order to be successful in battle.

Has anyone else thought it was weird that there's "searing heat" coming from Fennekin's EARS? Its ears?! What on earth could cause something (even a pokemon) to have such heat coming out of its ears? Slightly concerned for this pokemon's sake.

In fairness we can't say it has a small move set when we have no idea at this point what its full list of moves will be, we've just been collecting up everything we know this far. While I really adore Fennekin as a cute design, I think I'll pass on it regardless now because we've been introduced to other fire types I want to train more.

Also, consider that the Johto fire starter had fire coming from its back? I don't find heat coming from its ears all that odd. xD
 
I always choose Aquatic starters (exept chikorita) my choise is Froakie, but Fennekin is cute and its evo is AWESOME!!! But still I pick Froakie...
 
I'm not one to choose Fire types, and it's gonan stay like that. In my years of playing Pokemon, I've only ever picked one fire-type started, Cyndaquil. I'm drifting towards Chespin in the Kalos region

Well Tepig had smoke coming out of it's nose. That's also strange. Charmander and Chimchar all had fires on there tails. also weird. However i think the most sensible one is Cyndaquil, He had fire coming out of holes in it's back (and could do it at will)

Not necessarily. For example, Venonat can learn 4 Psychic Type moves and 4 Normal Type Moves, but its types are Bug and Poison, for which it only learns 2 moves of each. This is just one example, and there is probably a better one out there, but this is the only one I could think of at the moment.

After you beat the game you can trade pokemon with your rival shauna and she will give you the starter that is not very effective against your starter pokemon.If you choose froakie she will give you fennekin.Also you can trade her any pokemon.
