Hey everyone no body has made a thread about this subject so I thought I make it. What is your favorite out of these 3?

Mine is Sceptile.
 
I like Swampert, just because he looks cool. I've started with Mudkip on Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. It's weird, actually, I usually don't like Water-types that much, I usually prefer the Fire-types.
 
My favorite is Swampert.I use a female one on Pokémon Emerald.
 
You could say, why you like this pokemon.

I like swampert because it has nice stats, good moveset and is a water/ground type. Electric pokemon won't beat it. Its look sucks but I don't care. Stats are more important.
 
Swampert FTW.

Its only weakness is Grass-types, but if he has a Butterfree/Beautifly or something AntiGrass at its side, its invincible.
 
Sceptile. It's so fuzzy. :-D

Well, okay, it's not. But... it's still adorable, yet cool at the same time. And... green!
 
Blaziken or Sceptile.

I prefer starting with Grass or Fire types because they're usually harder to find at the beginning of the game. It's less problem to get a water type, especially in RSE. You can catch Lotad, Wingull and Skursit (why can't I remember how to spell that name?) straight away. It's not too bad in GSC either, just go a catching in the evening and you'll get a Poliwag </off_topic>

I used Sceptile last time I played through S, and it rocked. ^^ I love the fact that it's faaaast. The last two grass beginners weren't really speedsters.
This time I'm using Blaziken, because of the type - Fire/Fighting = teh yay! Mainly because I almost never use Fighting types in my team.

I love them all, but I ended up starting with Treecko in my first R/S/E game, Ruby. Later on I got Sapphire, where I started with Mudkip, and then Emerald, where I got my Torchic.
So:
1. Sceptile
2. Swampert
3. Blaziken
 
Blaziken, because he's pretty cool and powerful.
Sceptile, because he makes the game more chalenging but he learns some cool looking moves.
 
Blaziken. when you get him to lvl 100 and give him a shell bell, he's virtually unstoppable, no matter what the enemy is. and for some reason, Confusing attacks dont work on mine.... strange but cool.
 
I love Sceptile. Mainly because, in popularity terms, its the neglected starter. I know it sounds really cheesy but I feel sorry for it most of the time. I also like having a fast pokemon at the start of the game. Although, i have to admit i often use blaziken because there's just too little fire pokemon out there and you can't get another one till after the 3rd gym, which is the first place i usually need them. But really, with the right moveset, all three starters absolutely pwn. IMO, the best starter trio yet (Jhoto wasn't that crash hot).

In the time when places like Smogon and its apparatchiks spread the "stats matter, nothing more" mantra, I suppose such posts are to be expected. Ah well.

As for which starter gets the largest percentage of my favor...it's undoubtedly Sceptile. Its awesome looks coupled with interesting dex entries make it my favorite RSE starter and put it at a three-way tie for my all-time favorite starters.

Swampert would be my second choice, as I've recently come to appreciate it more. Between my affinity for Ground/Water-type Pokemon and its neat looks, Swampert definitely resides in my good graces. Blaziken, however, is not so lucky. I just find it to be a dull Pokemon. Nothing else can be said.
