Well during my initial run I picked Fennekin. I enjoyed all it's evolutions though in the end it didn't turn out as strong as I would of liked it to be, especially coming from a starter. Regardless I would still use it again. The second time around I chose Froakie and in the end I was very disappointed by it. I don't remember exactly, but I don't think I enjoyed its move pool and I feel like it ended up fainting on me more times than I'd like. I used Chespin last, but for myself it seemed to be the most reliable.

One thing I'm hoping to see them do is give these Pokémon some mega-evolution forms in future. If I were to make an estimate, this might actually happen as soon as they announce their third installment or sequels; since these would still be the starters in those games, most likely, I believe it would be a good way to go about.

For Chesnaught, I could imagine this Pokémon to be growing a little more bulk in appearance. To cover it all in terms of statistics, they could give it some boost in Defense and Special Defense, and perhaps give Chesnaught access to some defense-raising moves.

Greninja and Delphox—I'm experience expecting to see them focused more towards physical- and special-based attacks, respectively.

I started with Chespin simply because its design is my favourite of all three Kalos starter Pokémon.
I wasn't happy with its evolved form Quilladin but Chesnaught I loved, even with its dual weakness!

After 120+ hours of game play I restarted and decided to pick Fennekin, Delphox's Fire/Psychic typing wasn't enough to make me fall in love with it unfortunately.

A couple of days ago I restarted my game for a third time, due to the anime Froakie had grown on me so I chose him.
I'm looking forward to trying out Greninja (Frogadier) during the story too.

Overall if I only got one chance I would have done exactly the same and went with Chespin!

Fennekin! :D I always go for fire types and he was just so cute. <3

Ditched him this time though, since I wanted a Pansear. >:B

I picked Froakie, since I love Water types and usually choose the Water type starter. Greninja has made an extremely valuable member of my team, plus I just love him in Amie! <3

Fennikin. The Pokemon is soo adorable. It's evolutions are so elegant and beautiful. Kind of reminded me of Gardevior. I was going to go with Froakie..but everyone was choosing him.

I like mages and I liked Delphox the best out of the three so I got a Fennekin, who I named Rydia. Didn't matter much as I got a Protean Froakie from Wonder Trade soon after whom I dubbed Edge. I didn't get a Chespin until after I beat the game, which sucked cause I wanted to beat the game with one named Cecil... Eh.

I chose Froakie because I thought its final stage would pretty awesome but I was a bit disappointed in the result. My Greninja actually became a HM slave as Charizard and my other party members simply took control of the battling.

I chose Fennekin initially. It's still my favorite, which surprised me because usually I'm pretty loyal to water starters.

However, I really hate frogs...I worked at a pet store in high school and a tree frog jumped out of it's cage while I was cleaning it and onto my face. NOPE. So, sorry Froakie.

I chose Fennekin as I had intended to from the reveal. Really glad I chose Fennekin tbh, I loved the evolutionary line.

Given my previous runs in my Pokemon games I was determined to make this run off my usual tracks, and was originally planning to throw away my starter Pokemon. Unfortunately as always I became attached to my Pokemon and ended up beating the game with an un-evolved Fennekin.

Fennekin. Look at that thing. Look at it.

Also it's got STAB Psychic (move) which is nice.

I called it Mozilla because that's hilarious.

Picked Froakie because he was too darn cute. Then he evolved...
I usually always pick Fire starters since I love fire types but not this time around. Froakie has proved his worth though on my team and I'm glad I picked him. I love the little guy <3
