Which starter trio is worse?
>>
>>59609478
5 is the worst in the series
>>
>>59609480
lol lmao
4th was total shit
you were forced to taking the shit monke because there was a grand total of 2 fire types
>>
>>59609478
Neither, should have done Kalos and Galar for worst trio dumb fuck
>>
>>59609481
Fennikin and Greninja were great.
>>
>>59609484
that was 6th
>>
>>59609481
>you were forced
No you weren’t.
>>
>>59609481
>look up pokedex
monkey
evil dog
fire duck
flareon

not bad
>>
>>59609481
>>59609491
I thought this was going to be a discussion about designs, not Sinnohs dogshit type distribution. Also I'd rather cut my dick off than use a Flareon
>>
>>59609492
The sinnoh starters were also the worst
monke, penguin nor turtle were good choices and I played this shit as a kid so I dont even have nostalgia for this. I hated it then.
5th saved pokemon for me until it got even worse
>>
>>59609498
The turtle and penguin are amazing and cute. Piplup is one of my favorite water types. Unfortunate about its evolutions though, horrid trash.
But yes 5th gen starters are all great to me
>>
>>59609491
>he actually mentioned flareon
Most people would have purposely ignored it so kudos to you.

Like how gen 2 "supposedly" "forces" you to go with Cyndaquil?

Fun fact: you're actually not "forced" use an arbitrary Pokemon to fulfill the Grass/Fire/Water coverage in a playthrough. If the games are easy, then why do people complain about these things?
>>
>>59609478
Top
Chikorita gets replaced by every other grass type.
Totodile gets replaced by a Gyarados
Cyndaquil sucks ass.
>>
>>59609540
Kill yourself

>>59609544
>dubs
bodied that freak

>>59609478
Gen 8.
>>
>>59609478
Out of these two? Unpopular opinion but Johto. Not that I don't like Johto but in terms of design the Unova starters always seemed more interesting to me than the Johto starters. I'm convinced the gen 5 starters would be way more liked if they had better Typings and stats, preferably completely unused typings at the time for starters or at least 2/3 unused since we had both Blaziken and Infernape as Fire/Typing. So perhaps Samurott could've been Water/Fighting and had really high physical attack, Emboar been Fire/Ground and had really high special attack, and Serperior Grass/Electric and a fast special attacker glass canon. If going by the 2/3 unused rule then I'd say Serperior makes the most sense to not have a unique typing of the three, either stay mono Grass or be Grass/Poison like Venusaur.

In general though? Probably any gen 6+ starter with each gen since getting progressively worse, gen 9 being the worst starters of all, and the gen 10 starters don't look very hopeful so far either. The only gen 6+ starter I like is Decidueye since it's not humanoid AND has a cohesive design. Skeledirge isn't humanoid either but the whole design just looks messy as fuck and the fire on the sides of its head look like clown hair. I'd argue Skeledirge is the worst starter to date in general.
>>
>>59609528
all 3 of the Johto starters are pure gold. Even chikorita, albeit the weakest.
I would rather get a shinx and be far happier than pick any of the gen 4 losers
>>
>>59609478
Unova, but it could be salvaged if Serperior gets a good regional form
>>
>>59609478
Emboar is worse than any of the johto starters but Serperior and Samurott are better than at least Feraligator and Meganium, and maybe also Typhlosion. I'd say the johto starters are worse because I really can't be excited to pick any one of them, but I'll be glad enough to use the Snivy or Oshawatt line.
The Johto starters are kind of an anomaly in how bad they are for old pokemon, and they're even stuck between the two gens that gave us easily the best starters in the series.
>>

>I'd say the johto starters are worse because I really can't be excited to pick any one of them,
that was by design
>>
Johto has cyndaquil, but Unova has both oshowatt and smugleaf, so Johto, I guess.
>>
>>59609481
>>59609498
I refuse to believe that someone can look at every starter trio and somehow come to the conclusion that Sinnoh's is the worst.
>>
>>59609478
Johto

Crocodiles and dinosaurs are cool. Pigs are not.
>>
>>59609805
>Crocodiles and dinosaurs are cool.
Only when they don't look like a sissy cartoon character and an obese retard with a down syndrome face
>>
1: Most iconic
2: Cute, but useless
3: Ugly but one of them is game-breaking
4: Overall best in the series
5: Overhated but easily replaceable in-game
6: Coolest cohesive theme
7: Ugly but competitively useful (not you Rowlet)
8: Very Obviously Toys
9: Gen 8 but Stupider
>>
>>59609557
At first I thought that too but then I remembered Rillaboom which is actually a pretty solid design if only it weren't for that dumb drum that it always carries around. It can keep the stick as the stick is no dumber than Abra's evolutions holding spoons but an entire drum is just silly. Also not sure how I feel about the face being bright orange. I feel like a much darker orange that's almost brown would look better. Other than that Rillaboom is really cool and could be on par with Infernape with those things fixed.

But then gen 9...I don't like anyone in gen 9. Gen 9 is worse than gen 8. Skeledirge is almost cool but then people mentioned its fire looking like clown hair and I can't unsee it.
>>
>>59609817
>1: Most iconic
Nostalgia is all they have going on for
>>
>>59609817
1: Based
2: Slightly less based but still based
3: Probably the most based of all
4: Based
5: Based and underrated
6: Furry trash
7: Furry trash
8: Furry trash
9: Furry trash
10: Will probably evolve into furry trash
>>
>>59609898

>>59609901
>Furry Franchise
>the most iconic starter trio is KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, the least furry of them all
What does she mean by this?
>>
>>59609904
>>the most iconic starter trio is KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, the least furry of them all
Then why none of them got to be the pokemon of the year?
>>
>>59609478
still Galar will always be Galar
>>
>>59609807
>t. got ko'd by weather ball
>>
>>59609914
