>>40473110>Kalos starterHe is given to you so you can get a forced Mega Evolution "bond". Do you even know what an "Starter" means? it's the Pokemon you start the game with. Those Kanto Pokemon are gifts, just like the Lapras or the Lucario, and it doesn't make them starters. The fact you choose between them doesn't change anything.
