What type of person picks grass starters
>>
>>744628432
People who pick Grass-type starters in Pokémon tend to be tactical planners, design-focused traditionalists, and players who love a challenge. They value utility, aesthetic charm, and strategic team building over raw power.
>>
>>744628432
TWISTED FUCKING PSYCHOPATHS

Fire starters are for kids and water starters have been the designated "we made this for girls" for like a decade now, at least grass starters have variety.

My ex who got me into pokemon always picks grass starters.
>>
>>744628432
Fire starters pour the cereal in and then the milk.
Water starters realized cereal is unhealthy and switched to oatmeal.
Grass starters head to the supermarket, lick ten ice cream containers for breakfast, and post a Tiktok whining about why the store ice cream now has locks on it.
>>
I was born in 1990 and knew that Bulbasaur was good against the first two gyms so I picked him
>>744628635
>like the the color green
Also this. Its why I always go NVidia over AMD
>>
I dunno man I just use all of them, don't put yourself in boxes. 3 starters means r3playability
>>
You are all basic, crying, and overrated cowards. Water starters rely on pure safety nets, fire starters lean on raw, brainless tantrums, and both lack the deep soul and quiet strength of real Grass-type trainers.
>>
>>744628432
I picked grass on all gens except 2 and 6. Never played anything past 6 either.

Fire is valuable, you wont light a lamp without fire will you.

Gen 4 is the one gen I nearly always trade over and breed the Starters I didn't start with so I can use all three. Staraptor and Rotom round out the rest with the sixth being the wild card.

I always found squirtle to be the best starter. But his evolutions are quite lame, while Bulbasaur evolves into something really cool and primordial. Charmander and Charizard are too cartoony and unserious.

there's no reason to ever not pick the fire starter unless you have some autistic vendetta against them just because charizard was the most popular one like most /vp/ autists

Grass is the most punished type by far. It's ridiculous just how much worse it is than the other starter types.

>Tied with rock for the most weaknesses of any type
>Tied with bug for being resisted the most of any type
>Only effective against 3 things, two of which water is also effective too
>Slightly above average number of resistances, but one of those resistances is itself
>Also number of resistances is equal to water and lower than fucking fire for some reason (why is fire one of the best defensive types in the series???)
>No mainline cover legendaries
>Legendaries / Mythicals are shit tier in general
>No psuedos

Bug was designed to be low tier from the time where pokémon was much more like an adventure RPG than a competitive game.
Grass is up there on a pedestal with Fire and Water as if it competes with them, yet it's abysmal compared to both of them.

Bug isn't even that much worse than Grass on paper. Same number of weaknesses. Same number of super effectives, same number of things to be resisted by. It's only got 1 fewer resistance.
Bug's best match-up also is Grass, which just adds insult to injury.

Its such an easy fix too, just swap fairy's resistance to bug to a vulnerability and suddenly the strongest type (fairy) gets a substantial nerf, and the weakest type (bug) gets a substantial buff.

yes you just explained exactly by bug has it worse
both are shit but grass gets attention
its can be on sun teams, it can be on rain teams, its got its own terrain, you get a starter with 500 tonnes of merch. first in line for anything new and shiny gimmick along with water and fire. its not good but its always got a lot to play with.

bug has u-turn (made better versions for better types now lol) and a 50% chance to be a shitmon that peaks at level 10

Me because grass has the best looking starter in many gens
I can't say most because the starters are almost all duds starting with gen 5, though at least serperior is still cool, and I guess technically meowscarada is better than the other two since it isn't extremely homo and not a visual mess

As a fellow human, I find your analysis to be more than just insightful - it’s a unique take in an endless quagmire of muddied opinions that could only be held by one with a particularly gifted mind. However, it’s important to remember that individuals who select fire starters are not necessarily lower IQ - starter selection is impacted by a great variety of factors such as economic and cultural background. If you’d like, I can provide further insight on which starter you should select. Just let me know!

Grass isn't a very good typing to use in regular playthroughs and the better ones are definitely not the starter (Exeggcutor, Lilligant, Whimsicott, etc...), but the Grass starters still aren't bad picks. Even the shitty ones like Chikorita got some utility with the Powder moves. They just don't compare to the Fire and Water starters
>>
>>744651545
Fire is a worse defensive typing than grass despite the weakness count.
Being weak to ground and water is absolute shit.
Fire being good is a meme we made up as children that some people haven't grown out of

>>744652158
Lilligant gets Quiver Dance and sweeps through entire teams after setting up once and is strong enough even without. Shit like Meganium, Chesnaught and Serperior struggle to OHKO during important fights.

Exeggcutor takes a steaming dump on Venusaur simply due to the fact that Psychic was disgustingly strong in Gen 1.

They're clearly refering to how grass types typically learn a lot of status moves. Early gens in particular grass types are more focused on status and support rather than offense

Not at all. Most Grass Pokémon do get a decent amount of status moves, but it's not the case for the Starters here. Only Venusaur and Meganium, really. The rest try to be more offensive.

The other two starters are just way too over-designed for their own good. The fire croc in particular has like 3 competing different design elements going on making it a mess compared to Meowscarada which is simple and straightforward which is what Pokémon designs are best at
>>
>>744628432
Bulbasaur is a great pick in gen 1. You have easy type advantage for the first two gyms, and by the later gyms you have other pokemon to puck up the slack. Its also one if the many reasons why choosing charmander sucks ass.

I almost always go for the grass starter. IDK, I've just always liked the aesthetic of the grass type, despite it being objectively cucked compared to fire/water (most weaknesses in the game, most resistances to it too). Things have gotten a little better, but GF definitely had it out for grass types in the early gens. Inexplicably grass moves were almost nonexistent and the few that did exist often were rare or had shit PP. Like only 1 giga drain TM in the game with 60 power and 5 pp when fire/ice/water/electric had your standard 95 bp moves like flamethrower in unlimited supply, or solarbeam being useless outside sunny day.

Maybe I just like underdogs.
Chikorita will always be a shit though
