Just do away with starters completely. It's an outdated concept and I'm tired of their faggy modern designs.I don't like abandoning the starter cause I feel bad so I'm always forced to play with one but you could remove them entirely that'd be great.
>>58787509You lost btw Cope and sneed
that's your problem not ours
>>58787551the game desuArrest and fuck off
>>58787592Make me
>>58787509Just because your favorite starter’s mega looks like shit doesn’t mean starters are a bad concept.
>>58787592FUCK I JUST LOST THE GAME
>>58787509Imagine being so beta that you can't even box your fictional starter in a game.
>>58787509>I don't like abandoning the starter cause I feel bad so I'm always forced to play with oneThat's called bonding anon, it's the entire point
>>58787509what else would they do? Toss you the regional Pidgey?
>>58787687that one looks like shit, too
>>58787759Yes, unironically yes. Not having access to a starter that's a super effective type against the 1st and 2nd gym would introduce a modicum of challenge into the game
>>58787509skibidi dop dop skibiy
>>58788226you can just box it.>no,noooo, I can't box it, i'm too much of a pussy!You're not looking for a challenge, then.
>>58787509I agree. Earning your starter by catching it yourself is a lot more interesting as a concept and puts you on the same ground as other route 1 shitters. You have to beat them through your own training and "skill" rather than because you got some faggoty rare pokemon handed to you via nepotism or just because.
You realize these games are made for 4 year olds right.There isn't supposed to be a challenge. The point of the starter is that they get a reliable pokemon that stays string for the entire game. That way if a retarded kid fills they're team with krickatunes and bidoofs they can still complete the game with their starter
>>58788269>"skill"There in lies the problem. Passed the age of 6 when most kids have gained the skill of [reading] necessary to progress through the game, what skill is required? Killing 99 more Pidgey to over level your own Pidgey so that its stats are equivalent to what your starter might have if it were 4 level lower?>kill 40 pidgey>run back and avoid the tall grass to heal>kill 40 more pidgey>run back and avoid the tall grass to heal>kill 19 more pidgeyIt's just grinding, and stronger Pokémon just require less grinding.
>>58787509a spinoff having us wander around the overworld with a mentor finding our first mon, them battling on our behalf but us catching the wild mon, would be beyond kino.
