Not into the waifu thing, but it was the first good fire starter design in years. Torchic line was shit, sun wukong line was disgusting, and I like emboar, but it's not for everyone. Cyndaquil is alright/cute but bland, charmander line is a joke.

It's just a lizard with fire in the tail and eventually gets fat, even compared with venusaur and wartortle which are from the same gen, it's pretty bland. Blastoise is equally bad too, compared to wartortle.

I think this is pretty objective. My personal favorites are Typhlosion, Feraligatr and Meganium, so I don't think it's that biased, either.

>>26819716
Greatest taste, aside from samurott
>>
>>26819716
Meganium isn't even bad design wise, in fact it's really good

its issue is that it was conceptualuized as a peaceful Pokémon and as such has low attacking stats

by the way, an opinion list can never be objective, by definition

>>26818790
This
>>
>>26819720
Again, not a matter of taste; when it comes to that, I'm a Johtoddler. It's supposed to be an objective ranking of their designs (or a close as someone without formal artistic training could reasonably get to it).
Glad to hear it rins true for somebody, though.
>>
>>26819723
No, but designs can be objectively good or bad, by how squarley they hit the mark for humanity at large. Someone can be objectively charismatic or popular, for example, even though each permutation of their social interactions is a matter of opinion for the opposite party.
And I think Meganium's cool, but it's antenna are really out of place, it should generally have more details, and the petals don't mesh with or accentuate the body as well as other grass-type pokemon. But like you said, that serene look is why it's my favorite.
Hey, at least it was good in Mystery Dungeon.
>>
>>26819716
If this chart is meant to be design-wise, then Greninja can't be anywhere near the top. It belongs with Samurott.

But somehow it is bad because you say so.

It's astounding how far contrarianism goes on this website.
>>
>>26819716
This isn't all that bad, actually. I would personally move Blaziken, Typhlosion, Blastoise and Meganium all up one slot, and Chesnaught down one slot though.

Also, although I mainly agree, calling this objective.. well, anon, you know that aint right. There's bound to be a lot of people who disagree.

Again, objective in that it's supposed to represent an analytical consensus that most people worth their salt would arrive at, and not my personal feelings.
I felt that, while it had the classical appeal of Charizard, it had nothing going on that was BETTER than Charizard, as it went from (in a child's eyes), a rat to a bigger kinda rat, as opposed to a lizard to a fucking dragon, which those little shits'll eat up. Also has an awkward design in regards to the flames from some perspectives and while on all fours. They were not thinking of a 3D environment when they designed the thing, only a 2D sprite, and it showes. It's lead to their turning off the flames for idles in the most recent games, which actually led to a lot of its fans disowning it (at least in-game).
Blastoise is just not original or notable-looking enough to be bumped up a spot. Still got high for it's classically-imposing bearing, though.

Blazakin just doesn't look quite right to a lot of people when standing next to other pokemon, which is understandable considering it's proportioned like a seven-foot-tall person, whereas most pokemon are anime-esque. Even Mewtwo or Deoxys feel like manletts next to this thing, and people pick up on that, it seems.

Chesnaut is just so much more original and classically "cool" than other grass types (and therefore more appealing to swathes of people) that it god bumped up despite its flaws.

>>26819919
Alright, so I love that we're having this discussion, cause normally discussions about designs on /vp/ are usually just "hurr i h8 it and its stoopit".

>Again, objective in that it's supposed to represent an analytical consensus that most people worth their salt would arrive at, and not my personal feelings.

Still, I really disagree with this, at least in a vaccuum here. You can point out certain issues here and there, but some may be of varying degrees of importance (for instance, I agree with a lot about what you said about Meganium, but I dont think those flaws are as bad as Delphox's entire design), or just simply something where we don't see eye to eye on (Blaziken being that example. The only design analysis you said that I entirely disagree with, I think it looks great standing next to others)
See, the problem here is, we're essentially at a stand still, where we can only negate what each other said, but provide little to back it up. I personally like the relative simplicity of Blastoise, and think that it's a perfect back bone for a "classic" pokemon design. I think that Chesnaught has a some design elements that interfere with it too much (such as the weird arm shield thing distracting from the already built in armored top that would make more sense to focus on), but all we can offer is us disagreeing on those differences.

Still, all in all, good effort, and glad you actually gave enough of a shit to try and be non biased.

Blastoise was my first ever pokemon, and I always thought Blaziken and Chesnaught lookedthhe best out of their groups.

>>26820033
Yes, Meganium isn't as bad as Delphox, but that doesn't say much. I just didn't want to include a shit-tier because that was aside from the point, as bad was just meant to be "completely unappealing to most players, given a wide range of options". And I actually think that, while Blazakin looks unnatural next to other pokemon, it makes sense; he's based off of shamo (or japanese gamecock), which look unnatural next to other IRL animals thanks to having been bred to fight to the death. I think it's a great POKEMON design, just a very odd choice for a starter design. It might've honestly made more sense as a pseudo-legendary. And I think Blastoise's symbpicity is it's appeal, but I also think it's what kills it; it's not iconic enough. If you asked someone who played pokemon as a kid but was impartial to it to draw Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur's heads, chances are only Charizard'd be recognizable, thanks to the notability of the horns, whereas noone will remember Blastoise at all because it's basically a circle with angry eyes and rudimentary ears. To draw a contemporary and similar example, I think Bowser has a better design, thanks to the dog-like snout, hair and horns, which make it stand out despite it's simplicity..
And I get that obviously I'll never be ACTUALLY objective, but I intended for it to be more of my vague and uninformed impression of what most people thought of the designs vomited onto MS paint, so I'm glad it's not completely atrocious. Cheers.

>Actually uses the word Objective somewhat properly

You seem like a nice guy, anon. I think this is one of the few couple of times that i've ever seen someone not put his favorites on the top and instead reserves the top spot for whoever he believes is the most fitting of that spot.

There's pokemon that are bland, but i like a lot, but there's also pokemon that have great designs, though i'm not overly fond of. When it comes to making these lists i always place those i'm not particularly in love with at the top sheerly because of the strengths of their designs.

Your water list is pretty great, though i would personally move Empoleon up to the RADICAL tier. The rest of the list is spot-on, though i don't really think any starters are completely bad, per-se. Maybe a bit lousy at most.

>>26819723
I actually really like Meganium's design, I just hate that it was introduced in a region where it literally doesn't have a single type advantage against any of the gyms. They should have given it a secondary type of some kind, but the only one I can really think would fit it is Fairy, and that wouldn't have worked for obvious reasons. Here's hoping for a good mega soon.

I really like Greninja, but you're deluding yourself if you think Greninja is the most popular of all time. Ask somebody who Pikachu and about 80% of people will know who you're talking about. Ask them about Greninja and only actual Pokemon fans and little kids might know what you're talking about.

Its like you can't tell the difference between a good simple design and some overdesigned cancer. Its the same thing as being tasteless.

He's just saying that because the biggest Fave Pokemon IN JAPAN had him at first place.

We don't live in a pokemania anymore, so even if an outstandingly popular pokemon is introduced, it will never reach Pikachu levels of normie reach because the franchise isn't literally everywhere you look like back in 1999.
>>
>>26824862
It's the least shit in a pile of shit. All Fire starters are bad, but Infernape is the most polished turd.

sceptile/serperior, delphox, and feraligatr

Chesnaught, Emboar and I think I'll love Popplio no matter how it ends up

I love big pokemon, they look pretty huggable
>>
Chikorita
Braixen
Blastoise
>>
My favorite game is SS, and I love Feraligatr, but...

Serperior (will be replaced by Rowlet if the evos are good)
Empoleon (still the best)
Braixen (until GF fixes Delphox's in-game model)

>>26822089
I had empoleon down there just because it's hard to picture him fighting, which is, I think, I requirement for everything that isn't grass-type (because retractable vines) as far as starters go. That's what I meant by "slight design flaws; fundamentally a little off, but executed perfectly". And all I meant by "bad" were "not appealing enough to justify it's role as one of only three options for main in-game partner"; as wild pokemon, they'd all be good. Appreciate the props though
>>
>>26825084
It's creative and decently designed, but I can see why features like the muppet-mouth or red unibrows would turn people off.
>>
>>26823629
I mean that there are objectively better STARTER designs, presuming the goal with them is to appeal to as many people as possible between the three; you are right in saying that it's too vague to classify a design as bad insofar as whether or not it should exist in general, though (i.e., as a wild pokemon).
>>
>>26818766
Sceptile
Charizard
Blastoise
>>
>>26818790
I would say charizard, torterra, and blastoise.

I say this as a genwunner
>>
>>26818766
>Grass
anything but Chespin cause Chespin is dumb
>Fire
anything but Tepig cause Tepig is dumb
>Water
Totodile's the best but all of them are pretty dope
>>
>Venusaur
>Empoleon
>Charizard/Infernape

In that order too.

Doesn't Mega Venusaur cap Serperior?
>>
>>26829060
M-Venusaur fell to B+, Serperior is A- and iirc discussion about making it rise to A is ongoing, not sure about that tho
>>
>>26825103
>welp im a fag
Indeed you are.
>>
>no Greninja for all of them
But seriously, replace Feraligatr and then I agree

>tongue scarf
No thanks.
>>
>>26818766
I don't like picking BEST, but I can pick the WORST:
Chesnaught
All of them
Samurrot
>>
Sceptile
Typhlosion
Empoleon
Fucking fight me about it.
>>
Gen 4 had the best set of starters overall
>>
Sceptile > Serperior > Torterra > Venasaur > Chesnaught > Meganium

Infernape = Charizard > Typhlosion > Blaziken > Delphox > Emboar

Feraligatr > Greninja > Empoleon > Blastoise > Samurrott > Swampert

Well, for starters I seem to really not like many fire starters. And as for swampert, I really like it's mega but that's it.
>>
charizard
blastoise
venasaur
>>
>>26818766
Infernape
Blastoise
Torterra
>>
leaf starters have always been a problem too me so i picked the best one
>>
Sceptile
Greninja
Typhlosion
>>
>>26818766
Sceptile
Charizard
Greninja

Maybe add Blaziken as a fourth starter. This is Game Freak's dream starter roster.
>>
>>26819211
These were my in-game choices too back then. Nowdays I really think the Johto starters are garbage.
>>
> charmander
> torchic
> fenekin
well, now I have to choose
>>
>>26818766
Blaziken
Serperior
Swampert
