Tepig, Tepig, and Tepig.

It's cute, powerful, and evolves into the mighty (and underrated) Emboar. Besides the Fire/Fighting typing, what's not to love?

Miju/Oshawott is a very close second, however.

EDIT: I'll be naming my Tepig Emberclaw, because I usually name my Pokes with Warrior Cats-style names. I'm weird that way.

Definitely Pokabu. It can learn Grass and Water type moves, and has always been my favorite since I started watching Best Wishes.

for the 2nd game, it will be Oshawott, for the 3rd (2nd copy of 1 of the games) Snivy.
 
I'll be choosing Tepig in White, and when I eventually get around to nabbing a copy of Black, Snivy. Not sure what I'm nicknaming them all, yet, though - I tend to choose on the spot using Korean, Japanese, French or Spanish words relating to the Pokemon. I really don't like any of the designs in the Oshawott line and I feel weak with a water starter, for some reason. I much prefer fire, so I probably won't be considering Oshawott any time soon.

Oshawott, nickname? It doesn't need it, because Samurott is THE name.
 
Can you help me choose?
Here's the only thing you need to know about me if you want to help: I like Pokemon that have high Sp. Atk and speed stats.
 
I am now unsure whether I want Oshawott or Snivy. If I have Oshawott I'll name him Hat or CapCanada. Snivy will be Bananaclog or Trolleaf
 
I'm choosing Oshawott and will eventually nickname him to Daikenki. Samurott sounds stupid. :/
 
I think I'll choose Snivy... I'll rename it Tsutarja.
But I do want all the starters from this gen :D
 
Well I will be choosing Tepig but nicknaming it the official Japanese name for it which is Pokabu because its a cool name :D
 
I'm getting Tepig, due to lack of Wi-Fi, and the only elemental monkeys I like are Panssage/Simisage. Originally, I was going with Oshawott.
 
Snivy looks the best! Although the fire pig (Tepig?) is really different from all the other fire starters. Compare it to Infernape and Blaziken!
