I miss when starters were expected to be complete shit and if they weren't it was a nice surprise.
Thanks to megas and Greninja and hidden abilities this completely flipped and now everyone wants their starters to be smogon approved.
They're created to form a bond with you in game and don't need to be good competitively.
Amen.
Also Smogon approved starts at NU, several NU Pokémon actually got niches in OU.
Honestly it is a blessing to be UU while dodging BL, because it probably means you have roles in two tiers.
Being OU just means that you are stuck there until people find something better.

People don't want to use unfun wastes of space like Meganium.
That shit is garbage even in game.
People want to have fun with their pokemon.

Your starter is going to suck too. You just don't know it yet because no one with the game is dumb enough to use them.
why the hell do you need the starter for competitive play?
catch or breed your own 6 pokemon you lazy anons.

I hate it when people try to say Rowlett is gonna do a 180 in stats. Who cares if he's good or bad, don't be delusional.

why is aggron so sensual?

It's the piercing blue eyes that stand out even more against aggron's lack of color otherwise.

All of the old starters have very average stats and are great for beginners to the game. Only recently with 6 have they forced them into roles.
