Gen 1: Charizard is best, but Venusaur and Blastoise are both cool dudes
Gen 2: Typhlosion is best, Feraligatr is real cool, Meganium is cute but goddamn does it suck game-wise
Gen 3: Blaziken is best, Sceptile is a reeeeeeal close second, Swampert? More like swamp rear end
Gen 4: All of them are great, but Infernape is a loving Sun Wukong.
Gen 5: Emboar is Ganon. I mean...what other choice is there? Serperior is cool, but same issue as Meganium. Samurrot sucks.
Gen 6: I mean, do I love Delphox? No. But it's the fire starter, it's still pretty cool. and I sure as hell am not picking lame-rear end Chesnaught. Greninja is cool, but not as cool as Frogadier.
Gen 7: Nyandre is loving amazing, but I will definitely need an Owltair buddy at some point. I actually don't hate the siren seal, but I sure as hell am never picking it.

Essentially, I will never pick the water starter, but I've only ever felt tempted once anyway (Greninja) and will only pick the grass starter on a second playthrough. Fire starters are the best 6/7 times, and that one time it wasn't, it was still pretty awesome.

That's not the archer's nickname, Owltair refers to the assassin owl from the clown/assassin/puma fakes. This one's nickname is Robin Hoot.

I hope Gen 7 also includes the random musicians in every town that add more instruments to the town theme like in BW

This is from yesterday, but...holy poo poo I never play with the music on, and I always wondered why that game just had guys who had instruments every other town. What the gently caress.

It's not lame, but it is incredibly feminine. It's the most overtly feminine final design for a last stage starter. I mean, Braixen is very feminine, but it was a middle evolution. Delphox ended up looking pretty gender neutral.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just an observation.

It's a great concept for a Water/Fairy mon. It's a shame GF wasted it on such a bad design.

I don't think it's a bad design, just not as good as Owl and Cat.

If that 3rd evo for popplio is real then I would consider not hating that dumb rear end clown rear end in a top hat. Clowns suck but fairy mermaids are okay.

Yeah the leak said all three starters have two forms (maybe one that evolves by day and one that evolves by night?), so there is hope for them yet.
