What starter has the best designed first stage?

>>30043065
All of them, to be honest. While some of the evolutionary lines are less than great, the first stages are pretty much always universally good.

TURTWIG

Froakie.

Piplup. It's the only starter that maintains the concept (royalty in this case) from the very beginning. Typically the first form is just an animal and it's not until the first evolution where is starts to pick up the secondary concept

i grew to like them

>>30043478
Torracat isn't too bad, but Incineroar is fucking ruined by his hands

>>30043478
Agreed, though I adore Torracat and Incineroar. They're the mons you start to appreciate if you ignore the fire starters history and get over 'muh quadrupedal tigro'. You know, the older mons shouldn't influence your opinion on a newer mon like that

Is this a new Mystery Dungeon?

>>30043141
how fuckin retarded must one be to say Chespin is the best design of all starters? OP didn't ask your favourite.

There is no need to write a lengthy analysis, or even mention Shauna's teeth. You just need to look at its arms. Now tell me seriously if you really think that's the best starter design.

>>30043141
Come on man, that's FAR from the best.
In fact, I'm willing to say it encompasses just about everything wrong with modern Pokemon design.

It's Fennekin.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

My favorite is Charmander, though.

>>30044615

Agreed.

Even though pic related is my favorite, its final stage is one of my least favorites starters. I know it's well liked here, so I'm sorry.
