Aww man, there's no dark type gym :(, after six generations they still haven't made a dark type gym. Oh well, maybe next generation

Also, you don't have to put things in spoiler tags I'm pretty sure, but I did anyway

Considering that it's um, me playing the game (xD) and I am playing it in English, these are the English names. I did post with a picture showing I got the game today haha :P I agree with LovemcQueen in that they are very plain. :( I meant that I had asked a girl in one of the cities, and she tells you about the badges. They are the names she gave. :S

Don't mind me, sometimes I misunderstand what someone said and then feel like an idiot later haha

And yeah, they are a little plain. Although looking back at the badge names for previous games, a lot of them are plain too: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Badges#List_of_Badges
 
I actually like chesnaught now after seeing his official release picture. Well, at least better than the other two.

The official art definitely makes them all look better. I've pretty much settled on Froakie for my first run, but I'm getting pretty excited to use Chespin on my second now.
 
EVERY Pokemon release, I have the debate: GRASS OR FIRE POKEMON?

Last year I went with Tepig for White, because undoubtedly, I played with Chikorita in HeartGold. I didn't make it past the first gym. I find using a Grass type significantly much more harder to play if you have a few Pokemon.

This year, I might play as Chespin. My strategy is to use a LOT of Pokemon through the course of the game to help me battle my way of the grass type difficulty. Fennekin just doesn't look my type. Rather go with a cute grass Pokemon.

I feel like this is only really the case with the Johto games since a) Chikorita is weak to the first two gyms, and b) its stats are more defensively oriented, making it more suitable for a support role.

Then again, I've never played a game without having a team of six at the end.
 
I've beaten White with the maximum of three Pokemon.

I never actually played White with a grass... Maybe it is only the case with Johto.
 
I did a mono-Grass run with White, and it wasn't too terrible. Apart from the few times early/mid-game when I almost got wiped out by Darumaka.
 
I always find it hard to get through a Pok?mon game with a grass-type starter. For me, the level of difficulty (from most to least) goes: grass > water > fire

Of course, having a balanced team is the best way to go, but when I first started playing Pok?mon, I didn't know that. XD At least I always had badass Charmander as my starter back then. I'm picking Froakie as my starter for this game, mostly because he looks cool, but also because I like the idea of a frog ninja! :D I might end up having a second playthrough using Fennekin, though.
 
Serebii updated the Kalos pokedex, so I've been going through and making notes of which pokemon would best compliment a well rounded team in terms of movesets and types.

I still haven't officially made up my mind either about my starter since I found out that Chesnaught is a Grass/Fighting and I wanted to keep the Torchic from the wifi event. But I wouldn't mind getting Froakie because Greninja looks like a beast.
 
I've never really had a hard time with grass starters. In HGSS, if you catch a Geodude and a Mareep and train them to an appropriate level, Faulkner's toast. Bugsy was a little more difficult because his Scyther kept getting critical hits, but he went down too.

With Red and Blue, grass was actually the easiest since the first two gyms were Rock and Water. Charmander was the hardest, since I don't think you could catch a Mankey before the first gym and Nidoran didn't learn double kick until level 43 lol.

I don't remember Gen III really well (I only played through it once) but I believe the first gym is Rock (same with gen IV now that I think about it).

Gen V gives you the option of picking up the elemental monkey that covers for your starter's weakness.

So if you're willing to temporarily train something that helps cover for the grass type's weaknesses, then it's not really difficult to use a grass starter. And I'm sure Gen VI will have something early on that allows you to face the first gym (Bug) just fine. Fletchling probably.

I used to despise Chesnaught...
But I must admit, he has grown on me.
He's so adorable >3<
Anybody wanna trade Lv.1 Starters when X/Y comes out?
 
why the **** isn't there a legendary trio for gen 6???
 
I plan to have my team with Chespin and I want to save a spot for that Torchic distribution!
