Do you always choose the same type of Pokemon to start with?

I always start with all three...I'm kind of obsessive, you know. seriously, I start with one, then I get to a certain point before saving it and trading it off to my friend. I then start up my second game and get to a certain point, then I trade mine back, then I start my first game again and chose the third starter (I get both iterations of most generations), that way I have all three starters. my black/White party is so far my fave. got 12 pokeymans, enough for two full parties.
