Tepig's design is alright- it's kind of cute- it's Emboar's design that I hate. xP And, again, not gonna say what starter I chose first due to avoiding spoilers, but the one I chose first is my highest rated Unova starter on the list. Also, Oshawott- the water type Unova starter- is also quite good, with a good Signature move, stats, and creative idea- he's considered by most fans to be the greatest Unova starter.

And personally, I honestly think Pokemon's one of those games you can't get tired of- the Battle system is always the same, but there's so much different Pokemon, so many variables, Pokemon is defeinatly in my Top Five fave video game series. I would reccomend playing Black/White though (if you don't have an NDS try an Emulator), as it added a bunch of new things into the series- two rivals (three including N), best anti-hero ever in Pokemon (N), all of the Pokemon in it are completly new (as in, there's no Pidgey or Ratatta until you get National), Triple Battles (which I honestly like, although I hate how the first gym battle isn't one), Rotation Battles, etc., etc. Seriously, you should at least give it a try.
