Fucking shocking. It's not like previous starters fair that much better.
I don't know why fans place so much hype on the starters. They're basically treat like every other Pokemon, except you just so happen to get them first.
Does anyone really care for past starters despite the really fucking popular ones like Charizard and Greninja? I don't see people jacking off to Empoleon or Sceptile much.
Stop placing so much fucking hype on them. They'll be forgotten when next gen comes along. They always are.

People love powercreep for some reason

It's just that ol' console wars mentality getting the best of people with too much free time, yet again, but Pokemon flavored.

People were hoping for another Greninja. Problem is that GF tried so hard to avoid making another one that they made the starters even worse than usual.
Well to be fair this time around all three are really well designed imo and they all have interesting typings even if GF fucked up big time on the stats.
I don't give two shits for starters outside of 0-2 every gen and all 3 of gen 2s but these guys are still p cool
I still won't use any of them in game but on repeat playthroughs I prolly will
>>29738696
yea, its like you have to catch other and better pokemon to beat the game
I dont know what people expected
OP is right though
>competitively viable starters (when their gen came out)
Greninja
Infernape
Empoleon
Blaziken
Swampert
that's it, 5/18 Pokemon

Sceptile wasn't good in Gen 3 despite Leaf Blade and ThunderPunch being special? I call bullshit
