I'm in a predicament, I've always picked fire as my starter because they always happen to be the coolest one imo, and is my favorite out of the three starters, but I don't really like Delphox (for now), and Froakie is shortly behind but my autism won't let me break my 5 gen combo of fire starters. Should I just go with Braixen and not evolve it? But at the same time I'd hate not to fully evolve my starter because I'd have to hold down B every time it levels, or use an Everstone which is a waste of an item slot. I'm thinking about trading for a Froakie, then evolving it to Greninja, but then I won't want to use Skrelp

What do?
Is anyone considering doing the same thing? My hype is dying
