It's common in Pokémon games for players to acquire all starters to help them through the games, so their rival won't have the type advantage they usually would have, among other things. But in Pokémon X and Y, there are six starters instead of three (three you choose from in the beginning, three you choose from a bit later). Here's how to get every starter in the game with one copy!

Steps

Before you do anything, you must make sure you have the Pokémon Bank application and you can use it to transfer Pokémon. This is vital, as this is where you'll be storing your starters as you progress. Also, this may get a bit tedious as you have to get all the way to Lumiose City three times, but otherwise you'll have to get a friend to help you.

After you have gotten Pokémon Bank, start a new game in your preferred language. To restart, hold Up + X + B on the title screen and answer 'yes' to the questions.

Play through the game as you normally would until you get to Lumiose City and you meet Professor Sycamore in his lab. Battle him and get a starter. Save your game and quit. Then, go to Pokémon Bank and transfer your starters into the online box.

Reset your game and repeat Step 3 until you have acquired all starters. On the last run when you get the last 2, you do not need to transfer them to Pokémon Bank. Keep them in your game.
