Not to bust into the conversation, but in X and Y, you don't have to have the Pokemon in your Pokedex to ask for it from the GTS!

I got that from the official site, so it's real. The first Pokemon Center I get to, I get the other two starters, level 1 of course! I find it fun to train Pokemon from the beginning.
And you know that everyone will want to trade starters when the game is first released. You know how people just keep breeding them from their own starter for trading fodder? There are always those people that hatch way too many eggs so they will take even the most pathetic Pokemon for one of their level 1 starters! (Plan made!
