>>20241495I like it because Froakie reminded me of this magnificent bastard from day one, and Greninja is the only Pokemon that makes the whole "long tongue that's always hanging out" thing work. And because I tend to favor Water starters in general.
Chesnaught is almost as best, and I've started warming up to Delphox lately, too. The Kalos starters are a breath of fresh air compared to the steaming pile that was Gen V's starter trio.
