Of that whole list, Dewgong, Slowking, Delibird and Combee are the only ones I don't really get.

Dewgong actually isn't that bad, you're right. Slowking is epically stupid though and makes no sense and Slowbro is a trillion times better. Delibird as a santa is more dumb direct to movie crap and it feels like such an afterthought because everything about it is really bad. The design, the stats, the gimmick. Combee is loving stupid, I don't mind Vespiqueen at all, and I actually like the idea of Male Worker Bee unable to evolve, but they could've done a better job than just some honeycomb crap.

Nov 18, 2009

When I was a kid I slept over my best friend's house and we tried to stay up all night. We'd never done it before and at around 4am to stay awake we were doing impressions of Pokemon for each other. At one point I was so tired that I sat down on the floor and wrapped my entire body in a blanket. He saw me and he was like "Stop! You're going to sleep!" And I said "No, no, I'm being a Cloyster." And he said "Oh." And a few minutes later I was asleep.

So you got the worst Starter of every generation except 4/6? I'm so sorry.

EDIT: upon studying the starters, It appears than when Grass isn't the worst starter, Fire is. Water Starters always own.

Sceptile and Torterra are pretty epic. Chesnaught is on the better side of okay. Venesaur is classic even though I don't like him as much as I used to. Meganium is gay. Serperior would be a TON cooler if he was Grass/Dragon and they ever released his loving human being hidden ability that reverses all stat changes so he could just spam Leaf Storm and Draco Meteor all day while boosting the poo poo out of his Sp Atk, while hiding behind really bulky defenses and great speed.

Black and White were really good and seemed like they were made for people who actually play Pokemon games and are tired of poo poo like having to have HM slaves (you only need to use an HM once to actually progress iirc) and catching Pidgey and Geodude in every single game

And then they made X and Y where the starters were so unbelievably terribly designed that they just let you get Charmander right at the start anyway. A game made for people who vaguely remember pokemon from elementary school

Well, that's my pokepinion

Piplup is alright. But look at the other starters of those gens. There is a mile of awful between them and Chimcha/Snivy.

Tepig and Turtwig were the best of those gens though.

The best starter of the X/Y gen was Froakie, because he evolves into a ninja and, if you get one with Protean and good IVs, is actually useful in online matches.

x/y was the first gen where i didn't like any of the starter pokemon. they all look dumb. greninja is ok i guess but still not something i'd want to use. luckily every other pokemon in that gen was rad

Aegislash rules and his flavor text was kickass:

"Generations of kings were attended by these Pokémon, which used their spectral power to manipulate and control people and Pokémon."

He's like your knight-attendant who mind controls people you don't like.

I think I will pick these games up because I could go for a new Pokéventure even if it's like every other Pokéventure I've been on.
