i prefer you to choose a mudkip.even though they say that mudkip is weak at the 3rd gym,mudkip is a water and ground pokemon.so electric moves have no effect.so dont prefer to choose a torchic even a mudkip can beat that

torckich hes the best

choose torchic because hes a very good tool once you get him to a high livel about 80 hes good in the elite four

you have to choose me

mine is now a powerful lv100blaziken. its also the best pokemon 4 beating the pokemon leage.

i even beat the elite 4 only using swampert.and i use it to the battle tower and i beat the the, all using only swampert

ps:teach it surf,earthquake,ice beam and return

You should get torchic because he is the best and the fire pokemon are always the best

Here is the reason why u should choose the starters:
Mudkip:Advantages on battle
1st
3rd(If you evolve it into Msarshtomp)
4th
6th(If you give him ice beam)
7th(Because their Pokemons are rock types too)
Team Magma(Ruby)
Disadvantage/s:
8th gym as they are water type trainers too!
Team Aqua(Sapphire)

Treecko:

7th
8th

Torchic:

3rd(Steel)
Disadvantages:

Overall:
Mudkip
Advantages:6
Disadvantages:2

Treecko
Advantages:4
Disadvantages:3

Torchic
Advantages:2
Disadvantages:4

u should ovisly choose treeco then trade to fire red or leaf green then restart and choose mudkip then trade then choose torchick then trade but if you don have linking cable then if you have ruby then choose mudkip and if you have sapphire then choose treeco because if you have treeco in sapphire becouse its stong against the legendary
