Personal Thoughts:

While Tepig seems like a good Pokemon, it's stat information could be improved. Tepig isn't built for speed or offence, it's completely a defensive Pokemon, even with its evolutions. Though we haven't gotten to play the new BW games yet, it still raises red flags for if this starter is worth having on the team. Sure any Pokemon can be powerful, you just have to know how to train it and use its attacks and abilities to your advantage. But, if you have picked Tepig, please comment below on how the Pokemon is in battles for you!
