 * Ruby: Either Pikachu, Treecko or Froakie. Reason: All three have high speed stat, fitting Ruby's preference. It'd be a matter of picking which one fits her personality.


 * Weiss: Dragonair or Milotic. Reason: Elegant and with high sp. defense.


 * Blake: Nuzleaf, Liepard or Frogadier. Reason: Cats or Ninjas... mostly ninjas. Cats is too easy to pick for Blake.


 * Yang: Arcanine. Reason: It's freaking Arcanine.


 * Jaune: Eevee. Reason: Beats me.


 * Nora: Dedenne. Reason: Electric/Fairy. I feel that those are the two things Nora loves the most.


 * Phyrrha: Lucario, Gallade or Pyroar. Reason: Badass factor.

-Ruby: Picking Pikachu feels........I don't know, generic? I know it's appearance is almost requisite in Pokemon but still....and it gives me some "Ash-Gary" vibes combined with Jaune and Eevee. Though I do feel Electric-type fits her somewhat, alongside Fire and Dark.
 * Ren: Tyroge or Meditite. Reason: Balanced fighters.

-Weiss: No Ice Type? If it's a matter of elegance, both of these are great choices, and if I may add any, there's Altaria. Among Ice types, there's Frosslass, and the Alolan Ninetails. Though given her general inexperience, I'd say a non-evolved pokemon like Snorunt or Dratini would be better.

-Blake: I don't feel she should have a fully-evolved pokemon from the get go. Among the choices you listed, I like the Liepard idea, though I agree it's predictable. Another choice would be Sneasel, or Pawniard.

-Yang: I like the idea, though my first thought was of her having a Combusken or Monferno. Something Fire/Fighting.

-Jaune: I chose Eevee for him because it has extreme potential: 8+ Eeveelutions of different types with different abilities and moves.

-Nora: Dedenne? Nah. She's not a little girl, she's the destructive thunder beast with the hammer. Something that isn't fully-evolved and is electric, yet also more fearsome than that tiny rat. Like Electabuzz. Or if we choose to leave aside the fearsome part, Pikachu, or Flaffy.

-Pyrrha: Gallade sounds like a great choice and Pyroar has a similar-sounding name which can work as well. Given she's a "glorious champion" in RWBY though, I feel a Dragon-type would be a good choice as well, like Shelgon/Salamance, Fraxure/Haxorus or Gabite/Garchomp.

-Ren: He's a calm kung-fu guy so a Fighting type that would reflect it would be nice. Meditite and Medichan are very fitting, and I feel Riolu and Mienfoo would work as well. Or one could give him Pancham, cause "Asian".
