| Snivy | 10 | 50.00% | |
| Tepig | 2 | 10.00% | |
| Oshawott | 8 | 40.00% |
The games are released and as usual, the first dilemma is the chosen starter. Share it here, and tell us which starter have you chosen, or planning to choose.
The three options:
I went with Tepig for Black, so for White 2 I went with Oshawott. Currently is a Dewott and has been a great fighter.
1 – GalliumGrantI chose Tepig for Black and Oshawott for White, so I selected Snivy this time.
Doesn't matter because its stats are horrible enough that I'm effectively using Riolu as my starter.
2 – AuraKshatriya, TurtwigXSince I'm generally not a fan of Tepig, as it has an uninteresting movepool to me and the Fire/Fighting thing has been overdone (How do you make a pig fight? Sumo wrestling?) I decided to choose Snivy. Always a fan of Grass types, even though I previously chose Oshawott because it appealed the most to me. But I've been hearing how useless it can be without Contrary, and I want to show off its GRAAAAAASS POTENTIAL!
1 – GalliumGrantI already voted, but I choose Oshawott; Basically I wanted to start like I did in my first run of Black & White.
In my opinion....

1 – GalliumGrantI stuck with Snivy despite knowing that it has relatively poor stats and movepool before Move Tutors. Not that it matters, as I know he'll do good anyway, given strategic battle timing and actions. Besides, I have at first Genesect and Riolu as backup, then later on Haxorus, Altaria, and finally, Floatzel.
