I can understand how someone might think Popplio is the worst of the three base forms. I can easily understand thinking Brionne is the worst of the three middle forms because it only shines in motion

but I actually cannot wrap my head around thinking Primarina isn't the best final form. On an intellectual level I get that different people have different tastes and it's all opinion and blah blah blah but my brain cannot fathom how any sane person could think decidueye or incineroar is better

I will die on this hill

I will grant that Primarina is the most flawless of the Alola starters and only mixes the best of a number of excellent design elements, but my heart will always belong to Incineroar. I love its big goofy smirky face and that we finally got a tiger pokémon that isn't a dumb overdesigned legendary.

Primarina is my BFF for life, but really all the Alohan starters have fantastically designed final forms. They're going to be hard for gen 8 to top.

Charizard is not a starter.

Sure it evolves from one, but it's not a starter per se :smuggo:

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


There aren't any bad starters, they're all very good Pokemon. Meganium though is the weakest one due to not being able to completely fulfill its purpose in its own generation of games.

Luckily it's cute so it has its fans.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Primarina, Delphox and Rowlett are my friends.

Every fire starter is bad except Incineroar. Incineroar is so good he invalidates all other fire starters.

It's hosed up but it's how it is.

This is the correct answer. Blaziken is my personal favorite. A kickboxing chicken that barbecues its own drumsticks. What's not to like about that?

Infernape is Sun Wukong so he’s automatically good tho???? Inceneroar is a top tier boy too though, even if a Fire/Dark heel wrestler just makes me realize how good Fire/Fighting actually is mechanically, which is probably 50% of why they beat it into the ground like they did.

Fire Ganon might not be mechanically good, or have stats that make sense, or see play at all but he's great and my friend anyway. His first stage is absolutely adorable too.

Emboar is also my favorite of the fire fighters (discounting Incineroar). Just an adorable little wrestlepig who evolves into a Wind Waker looking Ganon (best Ganondorf), who is strong yet gentle and friends with everyone.

I'm not even a fan of wrestling but all the wrestling themed pokémon are good and cool

If only they found a way to remove the need to trade for these good boys... or make it so you can trade before post-game for them at the very least. I want to crush some fools with my Porygon 2 goddamnit :argh:

Or you know, just give us stuff like the Razor Claw earlier. All the different and bullshit methods of evolving these were the real problem tbh.

Exploration is ill-advised.
As I always say about Pokemon: there's 600+ of the things, no one's expecting you to like all of them but there's bound to be a couple that work just fine for you.

Kinda funny that the literal clown of the Alola starters turns into the most graceful final evolution, while the other two become increasingly goofy.

To be fair the clown was the most graceful of the starters as well. Takes a lot of grace and poise to flip as well as that clown.

Somehow it can't resist uttering one-lines like "it's nothing personal, kid" before it attacks.

It's not a ninja it's a ranger and it needs to take time to line up the trick shots.
