Oh well, nobody will be choosing Mijimaru, it's Firepig or Smugleaf for me then (well it was Firepig from the start anyway)
That's a bit of an overstatement. On my English version, I'll start with the bacon since I always take the fire-type there. However, if I end up deciding to import a copy as well, I'll likely start with Ikkaku-lion. I hate the fire-starter, don't really care for most grass-types that don't have egg moves, and I think the only other water-type we've seen has been the monkey. Also, it's easier to power-crush the game with a water type than either other starter.
