Nah im happy with my chikorita. Easily one of the best mons in the game with dual screens + giga drain. I steamroll rouge battles easily

I outright released the pig.

Just look at OP's picture, Jesus Christ. The pig sticks like a sore thumb.

>>58553316
PLA. I didn’t box mine here, probably due to mega evolution keeping it viable.

In PLA I just caught alphas, didn’t really feel a connection to my team.
>>
I always box my starter because they're all so shit compared to later pokemons you get

you failed the testosterone test

you still bought it anyway, faggot.

Only time I ever boxed a starter was in my first Black playthrough (my second total BW playthrough) where Snivy was so bad that I just couldn't deal with it. Ironic that Snivy is easily the worst starter in-game when it might be the best one competitively (at least prior to Legends Arceus with Hisuian Samurott + Gen 9 with Mega Emboar)

However, I have used Snivy is subsequent playthroughs of BW and B2W2 and stuck with it til the end.

>boxing your starter
Never have, never will
>>
I've been having fun with Mega Meganium, altpugh to be fair it's not the main pokémon I use.

Never though
>>
>>58553316
I boxed it as well. Mega Meganium is so fucking boring.
>>
>>58553316
First time was in gen 5 with Tepig, and then with Snivy. Tepig is actually fine, I had just already beaten BW with him. Snivy is actually garbage, worst time I’ve had with a Grass starter since Chikorita.
>>
I wanna punch chikorita in the face. Annoying little shit.

I traded my Totodile for a Litleo. I can transfer a spare Totodile from shining pearl when pokemon home is updated.
>>
>>58553800
You can get totodile in area 20 though
>>
>>58553316
I always box my starter
I'm tired of the concept and find it more satisfying to catch my first pokemon so that's what I do
>>
>>58553316
Occasionally but I always rotated it back in eventually. I couldn't pick just six.
>>
>>58553316
I feel you. I put him in a box and replaced totodile with m!espurr.
>>
>>58553316
Honestly yes, I usually can find something good out of the starters, but here fucking nothing, boxed mines as soon as I got the Heracross in that trade
>>
>>58553316
I didn’t even buy the game
>>
>>58553316
Starter trio so bad, I didn't even bother getting the game itself

First game I pirated and didn’t buy
First game I waited for pkhex for
First game I boxed my starter
First game I actively cheated in something on my first playthrough

Good game tho
>>
>>58553316
WHAT WE'RE THEY THINKING
>>
>>58553316
4th time for me
>>
>>58553945
Why would you wait for PKHex on a pirated copy?
>>
I've almost always boxed my starter, starting from Gen V.
>>
>>58554665
Just to give myself an alpha fenniken and a Delphoxite
>>
>>58553316

PLA

>>58553316
Anon I've been boxing my starter since USUM
>>
>>58553316
I've been boxing the starters since gen 7
>>
>>58553489
This, Meganium's based. I ran Giga Drain/Moonblast/Earth Power/Protect and it fucked pretty well the whole game.
>>
>>58553523
He looks like pig ganon. I respect that.
>>
>>58553316
i boxed it but only because i wanted to do a monotype run and none of them were psychic or mega evolved into a psychic type
>>
>>58555033
Came here to post this
>>
>>58553316
I boxed my starter and I never used megas except for the rogue battles because megas are cringe
>>
>>58553316
BW2. I decided to choose Snivy that time around and Serperior was fucking useless. Should have stuck with Tepig. Since then, I have also boxed my XY, SS and SV starter mon, but only my BW and XY mons were box for being useless. The other two were simply interchangeable for whatever team I running.
>>
>>58553316
Tepig failed twice lol
>>
>>58555648
Starters are lame honestly.
I kind of forgot how bad snivy is though, sad it's one of my favorites, it really needs a secondary typing to give it better movepool it really has no niche, I'd say I think Snivy... Is drastically worse than chikorita, because at least chikorita lerns the screens, can heal, and status foes.
Yeah having a starter be focused on support isn't great, but it fulfilled purpose well. Being unoptimal doesn't equal bad, Snivy is just bad.

The Johto starters will never cease to be relevant.

If you are boxing them, you are playing it wrong.
