So, rules of this game are simple.
The first user posts a thematic list of some sort.
Then the next one deletes one entry from said list and gives a reason for deleting this particular entry.
Then the third one deletes yet another point.
The game continues until only one entry is left, at which point the user who deleted the second-to-last one creates a new list with a new theme.

For example, the first person gives a list of western elements:
  • Fire
  • Water
  • Wind
  • Earth
The second person replies:
  • Water
  • Wind
  • Earth
I delete fire due to its destructive power.

The third person then says:
  • Wind
  • Earth
I delete water, 'cause I can't swim.

Finally, the fourth user replies:
  • Wind
Earth is boring, so wind wins.

Fennekin, you're good, but you got somewhat tainted for me somewhere along the line. Circumstances outside of your control, but... yeah.

A bit too many grass types here, thus Treecko, being the only Hoenn starter left, gets eliminated.
  • Chikorita
  • Cyndaquil
  • Totodile
  • Snivy
  • Tepig
  • Froakie
  • Rowlet

Rowlet should stay Grass/Flying IMO. So, regretfully, it's Rowlet.
  • Chikorita
  • Cyndaquil
  • Totodile
  • Snivy
  • Tepig
  • Froakie
  • Popplio
 
While water is my favorite typing, I'd prefer some other starter over Froakie.
  • Chikorita
  • Cyndaquil
  • Snivy
  • Tepig
 
I had to. Chikorita's a fave!!! Sorry, Max.
