So now that the Gen 7 final starter forms are here without a shadow of a doubt, how about we have a Rate Thread: Starter Edition? I made you guys this nice template.
And here are my shit tastes. Go crazy.
>>29540889
It's a shame that Greninja shared a generation with absolute garbage.
>>29540904
your taste is okay
>>29541928
youre taste is better,
R8
Damn, I needed this like I needed to scratch an itch, thanks OP.
Have some correct taste, but here's some disclaimers:
>Grass is good in general with no offensively bad designs albeit some are mediocre
>everyone so far has greninja in their top 8
a-am i still on /vp/
Gen 7 and 2 are tied at last
I'm pretty glad to see gen 4's starters in a lot of people's top 3.

>>29542856
>Not having neither 5th or 6th gen on last or 2nd to last place.
You are more of a deviant than those faggots.
>>29543282
Gen4 used to be the worst on people's mind because they were spoiled by their favorite gens, but then 5th and 6th gen happened and people learned to appreciate them more, or children from the D/P time might be growing up, either one makes sense.
Empoleon can resist majority of Starters cuz of Metal type
But it can learn Drill Peck for anti Fighting and Ice Beam for anti Grass to cover that weakness
also he looks fancy af
Why are fire starters so crap.

Shit
Sorry, but Gen7 was a big mistake.
>>29543618
Used preevolves for tie breakers.
Didn't realize how much i hated gen 6 starters.
>>29540889

>All these genwun kiddies
>>29544214
What do i have to do with this?
And why double delphox and no emboar?
Neither of us used Pre-evos, what are you on about?
Look out dags best taste coming through
>>29540889
>>29544341
As far as starters, all of Kanto's are legitimately pretty cool and likable all around, if not a bit samier than we're used to seeing these days. The further along the series goes, the more experimental and polarizing starter designs get, so it's not uncommon for people to have only one design they like out of a gen while hating the other two, thus dragging down that overall gen score. Plus you can't deny that almost all of us grew up with the gen 1 starters.. They're bound to be up there for lots of people.
>>29544327
>>29545465
I like you two.
>>29545132
Swampert could be a little higher but overall pretty good.
If Primarina's as strong as I suspect it might move up a spot or two. I do like it a lot. Decidueye might be the hero of grass types like how Greninja brought water out of five fucking generations of getting decent to great pokemon but getting attention hogged by fire types and Sceptile.
I don't really dislike any starter except Emboar. Samurott would have been salvageable if it wasn't so fucking shit in battle like every gen 5 starter before Contrary snek, in the same generation that introduced such huge power creep.
Gen 2 starters are highly overrated IMO, they're the most boring.
I await your (You)'s
>Torterra commonly in the middle

>>29545800
Respectable taste, 8/10
>>29545821
Only because (You) asked so nicely. 6/10
>>29545940
Thanks, which is your own respectable taste?
>>29546019
If you're forcing me to out myself, I'm OP. Checked on this thread when I woke up and saw all the replies, and it made me happy.
>>29546088
>Johtoddler doesn't know how to use MS paint
Pottery
>>29546135
Aside Venusaur our tastes are incompatible, sadly. But props for a good template that allows judging with different metrics.
>>29546139
i dont care enough to make it look decent nigger
and the whitespace is because i moved it and didnt bother to fix it since it didnt change scaling
>johtoddler
nicememe faggot
>>29546174
I do like most of the things you have up top, though. There aren't any starters I actually hate, so I can never give people too much flak for their opinions.
>>29546227
Thanks.
While I don't really dislike starters, I associate people liking certain pokemon and disliking others with shit taste, even if I don't mind the Pokemon themselves.
I only really like the owl and Empoleon. Who are both solid 10/10 designs.
All others range between a 6/10 and a 8/10.
R8 my Serperior Opinions

>Goes out of his way to make a Serperior pun
>Serperior isn't even remotely his favorite
Top kek, my dude.
>>29547395
It's the only pun I could think of that wasn't Torterrable.
>>29540889
The SM starters might go up a few spots once the game hits, but I'm already very impressed with them
>>29548582
>likes gen 7
>but despises gen 6
Why?I find they're pretty similar
hate incoming
Fucking hell, I really hate Feraligtr.
It's funny how I love Feraligatr but dislike the other 2 Johto starters
im gay
I'm surprised at how biased I am against grass starters.
>>29540889
help me understand my chart because I can't
I just discovered things about myself I didn't know
>all this delphox hate
>all this trany mermaid love
fuck you all
>>29553277
Delphox looks like shit. If only it didn't have giant ass hair coming out of its ears.
anyone not having popmaid in their bottom three shud go back to tubmlr
>>29553335
Delphox looks pretty okay even with it
The real problem is how shitty it looks in-game. It's pretty good in official art.
hate myself
>>29540889
>>29548616
I don't really despise gen 6, I just think the gen 7 starters are a much more interesting group. Greninja is great, but Chesnaught is plain and Delphox is a disappointment. I've gotten used to the design, but its stats, movepool, and HA are all so underwhelming it hurts. Delphox will always have a special place in my heart for being my first Kalos starter, but it's a shame that it turned out so average when Greninja turned out amazing and even Chesnaught got its own weird little niche.
The gen 7 starters are great. I've thought so since the first leak. Even if they end up mediocre competitively I'll still think they're a great-looking bunch with fun personalities and designs that really nail their intended themes.
This was super fun to make.
>>29553569
>Primarina the worst
>Empoleon the best
I can see why you hate yourself
why is fire always so shit, lads?
>>29550266

You two should get married.
>>29553024
What did you discover?

My dudes
How's my taste, /vp/?
So many people ranking my best bro Typhlosion really low. Feels bad man. :(
hate or rate
>>29540889
>>29540889
>>29555600
Why do you care that other people don't have the same opinion that you do?
Interesting notes:
>The averages in the relationship between regional and type rankings is pretty close.
>Grass has the highest average in the individual category, followed by fire, and then by water.
>Despite Meganium being my pick in gen 2, its low score in the grass-type selection pushed it below its counterparts in the individual rankings. I still like it more than the other two within its own gen, but in a full ranking, it seems to place lower.
Pepperoni pizza lookin-ass
>>29555118
that I always though fire was my type but I only have 2 in the top 10 while the rest is ruled by grass types, hell the only one I have a problem with is venusaur just because I like ivysaur more
>tfw Water is my favorite type
Why do the Water starters suck so back compared to the other two?
