I love the chikorita line, it's my favorite starter, but those 1400 Japanese fans aren't wrong, either.

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


So many circumstances led to Chikorita being a dud of a starter. The Johto gyms being types that Grass isn't useful against on top of Grass's myriad of disadvantages. At least its cute and marketable.

It doesn't help that it's a defense focused Pokemon with a garbage defensive type.

That's also totally incorrect.

The worst in-game is Serperior who rocks lower offensive stats and a worse movepool than Meganium in 2 games with a bunch of gyms and E4 designed to gently caress Grass types up. Serperiors only saving grace is its hidden ability, which you couldn't get until like Gen VI or VII I forget. Like at least Meganium can learn Earthquake and a bunch of status moves from level up, Serperior's got... Dragon Tail and Aerial Ace???

Seriously gently caress whoever designed all the Gen V starters. They're either absolute garbage mechanically (Serperior, Emboar) or garbage aethetically (Samurott) and they have the most boring typing. Yay, another loving Fire/FIghting, Grass, Water trio :effort:

imo if they gave serperior a mega with lightning or dragon subtyping and gave it dragon moves, and Fire/Ice/Thunder specials, it would become pretty baller. wind up with contrary leaf storm, knock out with draco meteor

Tell me your favorite starter and I will tell you why it is bad.
Actually I can't, unless it is Typhlosion.

i was going to say that typhlosion is good for speed running heart gold but then i remembered the strat has been to switch to raikou before even getting to typhlosion for a while now. Well i still think it looks cool and it gets eruption which is a badass move

What are you talking about, Gen V has always been the bottom rung of starter pokes. Felt like they were stalling time till they could put all there better ideas with the Gen VI starters

Gen VI has cool frog ninja and wizard fox. Also lovely chestnut knight but hey its a mid tier gen for starters


Starter power rankings

Gen IV (all good)
Gen I (all good but not quite as good as IV)
Gen III (Only minor design flaws, mostly good)
Gen VI (Good except Chestnaught)
Gen II (Okay all around but kinda boring)
Gen VII (weird gen where all the middle evos are better than the final ones)
Gen V (Samurott is garbage, Emboar loses a fuckton of points for being the 3rd Fire/Fighter and Serperior is loving miserable to use in game despite cool design)

Samurott is the worst final form starter and I hate it. It ruins all the cool otter designs its first two forms had and is generally boring and awful.

It doesn't even have the decency to have a unique typing, good hidden ability or gimmick. It just wasted literally every scrap of potential it could have had.

Serperior is especially terrible when you consider it starts out as one of the best stage 1 starters but then it loses its limbs for some reason and doesn't get an interesting typing or movepool or anything

I love Serperior and it slowly becoming the pure elegant snake that we've always wanted. I love arbok and ekans with all my heart but they look doofy. Seviper is also pretty cool, but it's not elegant really.
