"Starter" doesn't mean anything.

>post unrelated Pokémon when 95% of starters have followed some linear tradition
Okay jimmy boi
>>29713876
Yes it does.
Those aren't starter you moron
>>29713876
>zweilous and trapinch are starters
Rowletfag, it's time to stop and accept
>>29713876
yeah you're right
Absolutely no difference between trapinch and greninja right?
>>29713876
Trapinch and Deino were my favorite starters
>>29713909
Christ, what were they thinking with Serperior and Samurott?
>>29713876
How pathetic can people get?
>>29713909
Yes, like Grass/Flying > Grass/Ghost
>>29713876
Not starters.
>>29713952
Speed plus defense serperor
>>29713952
I'm certain serperior was designed around contrary. Although it didnt get released until gen 6
Don't know about samurott. Emboar looks like it was designed around reckless though with its high hp and movepool full of recoil moves
>>29713952
>Masuda, why are these starters stats so poor?
>it's ok, their hidden abilities will make them very relevant
>what about Samorott sir
>what about Samorott
>>29713909
well those starters kept their design patterns but roothoot evolves from chubby boy into swift ranger
>>29714717
blaziken is a pretty big stretch from torchic anon.
>>29713909
>Greninja and Blaziken have better defenses than Emboar
>Shares same defense with Squirtle, Chikorita, and Chespin
Thats actually pretty fucking funny
>>29713909
Blaziken and Emboar are the only exceptions where the stat derivations of the starter and final forms are very different.
>>29714702Masuda: "HAHAHA I don't know".
>>29713909
>Emboar
>HA: Reckless
>is the starter with the highest HP
>to make sure it can use Reckless successfully it can learn many recoil moves including the feared Head Smash
>slow as fuck and even Choice Scarf can't boost its Speed to decent levels
>is too fast for Trick Room
