The best "Unovian" starter, in my opinion, is the Oshawott family. The worst is the Snivy Family. As I look through these comments, I notice that people are judging them based on appearance and such. No offense, but that's not exactly grounds to judge them; or at least grounds to judge them INTIALLY. Anyway, Oshawott is best because of it's uniqueness. It's kind of like a mixed tank I suppose. I also really like the design. Emboar is another copy and paste fire fighting type and his defense stats are rubbish. It's also really slow, rounding out to be a very frail pokemon that doesn't accomplish much without use of Trick Room. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Blaziken, and Infernape is pretty cool, too, but Emboar is just meh. Don't even get me started on the Snivy family. Serperior has really unique stats, with high defenses, but it just can't hit hard enough. Even the main game's story become a challenge when using it! I've breezed through ever other game's story, and Black and White's using the other two starters, but Serperior just doesn't get the job done unless it uses it's dream world ability. No offense, but a pokemon's ability should never make that pokemon...

P.S.- I have played the game with all three starters.
