  I'm really excited for Fennekin...I've almost always gone with a fire starter but black/white I prefered the water and grass over fire so I'm really excited to get back to my regular feels for starting :) Also gimme my charmander <3

  I like it :<
  
  Compared to the Tepig evolutions, this looks 10x better imo.
  
  My favorite fire stars would have to be
  
  Fennex
  Torchic (love Blaziken)
  Cindaquil
  Charmander
  
  The other fire starters are very meh. Not a big fan of a fire monkey nor am I very fond of that flaming pig, rather go with Seperior.

  it does look a lot better than tepigs evos, i personally love fire starters(cyndaquil and evos:thumb:) and have always used them, was never too fond of tepig though so i used oshawott. Fennekin has a pretty good design in my book compared to other pokemons out there (looking at you trubbish)
• Space Pirate Nithiel wrote on 2013-09-30 20:36
  Lets see.. I used..
  Charmander (Bulbasaur and Squirtle were ok, just preferred Charmander and it's evolutions)
  Cyndaquil (Hated Chikorita, Totodile, and all their evolutions. Would never use them)
  Mudkip (Hated all 3 fire chickens, hated Treecko's evolved forms)
  Never really liked any of the 4th gen starters. Fire monkey was definitely the worst looking of the 3, though the other two weren't great either.
  Oshawott or Snivy, loved all 3 of both of them's forms, Tepig and all its forms are awful looking.
  
  X/Y is looking like a repeat of gen 3, ie me going with the water type because the fire type looks bad and the grass type's first stage looks good but its evolutions look like shit.

  I don't like how the ear fuzz keeps getting longer lol.
  I like foxes and almost always pick fire starters besides tepig and chimchar since they had.. eh not very appealing designs.
  
  
  I dont get the whole stick thing on its back though

  Think less wand, think more broomstick.
  
  OT: I really like Braixen's design. Considering I will always choose fire when starting a gen for the first time (even Torchic... while I understand Blaziken is without a doubt the strongest of all the fire starters' final evos to our current knowledge, I still don't find the Torchic line all that appealing), Fennekin's second form varies significantly from the general growth pattern of fire starters. 2nd forms tend to be more I'ma-fuck-you-uppish than the 1st forms, more aggressive looking and in your face. Braixen's got a calm, collected coolness (dare I even say smugness?) to it, which is incredibly refreshing for fire starters.

  Just got my Nintendo refurbished 3DS, it appears brand new, no scratches or anything. I cant wait to play.
  
  Also this is a fun little thing to do.

  Not sure if I'm just being a nostalgic asshole but when they put a pokemon from gen 1~3 next to a pokemon from gen 4 or 5 I always seem to pick the former. I'm not one of those gen1 bandwagoners but putting a newer pokemon next to one of the older ones really does show the deterioration in design (in my honest opinion, nobody shoot me).
  
  Also, facial hair.

  Idk about you guys but I never touch that freaking 3d. It's just a gimmick and it really doesn't add anything to the game. Though it can't just be made a DS game. The graphics would be extremely subpar. But I'm reffering to Original DS days and DS lite. The only good game that came out of that was bangai o spirits and all the pokemon remakes

  I don't know. There were some pretty shitty designs in the early generations too.
