Got back into Pokemon early last year. Started playing on Showdown and had a good time. Was there when X and Y was first announced, saw the Mewtwo releases and starter releases on /vp/.
Saw Froakie and instantly knew he was the starter for me. As a kid I never picked the water types, but as I've grown up I realized that the water types are actually really fucking cool.
Picked up X since my friends all got Y for the edgy legendary. Picked Froakie and super trained to max before I even fought my first wild Pokemon. Blew through the game and got a female Protean Froakie, bred the male with the female until I got the desired baby, so my original Froakie carries his legacy on in his children.
I've bred so many Froakies it's not even possible to describe. I first tried a physical attacker, then pure special. I tried mixed for a bit and found I liked mostly special with U-Turn. Now I'm almost done breeding a perfect HP Fire Greninja using Froakies related to the first one I ever had.
Every team I use ingame and on Smogon has Greninja. I've used him so much I can tell you how much damage he'll do most targets on average, and how much damage he can take before he'll finally croak from most common attacks. He's definitely the coolest Pokemon I've used since I came back to this game.
