On my first Y play through since Pearl.

Got a female Delphox evolved up from my starter, but I recently got a Charmander through WT. Does Delphox' psychic side have any benefits overall in comparison to what a Charizard would bring into my group?

All her fire moves seem pretty shitty so far (Lv 39) and I already have a dedicated psychic Meowstic (who is thousands of times cuter.)

Eh, I dunno if it's because I've been growing apart from the type in general, but even the Hypnosis one I bred the other day feels underwhelming. I mean she does get better for sure, but there are better options. Also, might want to make the decision based on the other 3-4 members

Delphox has better animations and the game is so easy that it doesn't matter who's stronger. Use Dephox.

Drop Delphox. For a wizard it has no moves.

Charizard is more reliable, more moves and you can Mega-Evolve it and nuke the entire game.

You're a faggot for using meowstic. Real man use Malamar

This is something I will never understand. How can you not bond with your starter?

Not that dude, but I usually stick with them until postgame just because it's been a tradition, although I did want to drop Serperior at one point

I was disappointed with this too. Unlike the other 2, I didn't use it until postgame, but the wizard inspiration gave me high hopes.

I dropped Chesnaught in Y run. It was underwhelming, boring and I never was able to get over the design (I don't like any of the gen 6 starters).

I dropped him for Bulbasaur. Best run ever

Dark Pulse is irrelevant, it has shadow ball

But yeah any other of those moves would be great

Maybe in Z? ;_;

Actually, yea you can if you have a friend with it in the safari. In fact, nothing's stopping you from getting it from GTS/WT/an Egg from a Friend/happy merchant.

So true. I wasn't even on the "plage doctor" boat, I just wanted a cool-ass flamingo, instead I get a fat can-can dancer with a bow on its butt.

Christ Gamefreak, Spritzee was a qt

Conversely, I couldn't drop my Chesnaught, he was my bro. I didn't use my Squirtle though, mostly because I wanted to use something new (went with Clawitzer, the super badass).

They really dick-rode Greninja though. The other two starters get some good stuff, but not enough, Greninja gets fucking Protean and every move ever, and TWO signature moves as opposed to the one that the other two get each.

I dont understand how a magician with a MAGIC WAND didnt get protean. yet a shitty frog ninja somehow gets it.

It's like they finished Greninja first and then they were all
>Okay guys let's make this ninja thing werk

And when they were done, they finished Delphox and Chesnaught in the last office hour

My Sylveon outleveled my delphox pretty quickly, due to the fact you just want to pet her in the amie all day.

Pet that Charmander into a Charizard and soldier forth.

I'm hoping it gets Aura Sphere as a move tutor move in Z. I was so disappointed when it wasn't an egg move.

You get given the starter that is weak to your starter once you finish the game. So if you got Froakie, you get given a Fennekin.

I kept my starter around for a good while. Until post-game, IIRC.

I have it in my box now, assuming I didn't throw it into the ether with my cloning efforts.

It's because it's an amphibian but other than that there's literally no thematic reason that I can think of. Come on, Greninja's movepool and stats are already awesome enough, why does it need that fucking ability.
