I usually play with an assumed name. For Pokemon Y, I am playing as a girl named Isabella. That is my favorite girl's name.

There are the starters; Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie.

Now, I usually take Chespin, bc I prefer a challenge... but Froakie is also a good choice. If you want to blaze through the game, your best bet would be Fennekin.

Just as you get to Aquacorde Town, you should probably save. In case you are looking for a specific nature, like I do. I prefer them naughty natured or adamant natured. I find they hit hard. I chose a Froakie named Benjamin.

I go with Froakie, Fletchling and Bulbasaur, that is my elemental team, the other slots can be for anything...

I just caught a female Pikachu named Jaidyn, and I put her up for trade for this bad boy..

I have no worries about the trade bc Pikachu seems to be a very in demand pokemon... I will check on that in a little while.
