ITT: Rank the starters for each gen, rate other anon's tastes, and discuss the best (and the worst) starters.

Starting things off.
Gen 5 and 6 were overall horrible no argument.

I am sick and fucking tired of these non mobile friendly threads. How the fuck are we supposed to participate when the OPs are cleary biased for pc fags?

I actually like most starters. This is considering the the entire line. Most are cases like popplio, where I like popplio but not the evoultions.
-
I'm quite fond of Sinnoh's trio.
>>30227262
Water starters almost always have the objectively best designed evolutionary line. Fire are almost always shit. Grass are hit and miss.
>>30227262
Worth noting that gens 1, 3 and 4 were all close calls.
>>30227262
I tend to favor water types but I picked fire last 2 gens.
I'll try each starter out at least once. Totodile is my top pick for muh nostalgia since Gold was my first game. For an added opinion, gen 1 had the best starters overall and gen 5 had the worst starters overall.
>>30228166
I forgot to mention I'm going by favourite designs. If I was going by competitive viability it would look quite different.
>>30227262
I'm pretty sure I have shit taste. Would like an honest r8, nonetheless.
>>30228085
>>30228008
Pretty good.
>>30228166
>Cyndaquil Number 1
Right on, brother.
>>30227262
I know it got way too popular for its' own good but there's no denying that Greninja is as close to a perfect starter mon as we'll ever get. Loved it
It realized after finishing this that the choices didn't mean which order I chose them in, but I don't feel like fixing it.
Hard to choose between bulbasaur, mudkip and tepig for the fave. If I could go with all 3 I would
>>30227262
Pretty sure I'm garbage.
>>30228448
oh yeah my favorite is Treecko
>>30228458
Anyone that likes Totodile can't be all that bad.
>>30228513
Forretress is also my favourite overall. Always felt like most of my opinions were weird.
It may seem like I like water the most but I actually haven't played Gen V or VI.
Every time Bulbasaur isn't the best gen 1 starter a Yungoos gets sent to Wonder Trade.
How's this?
Some ratings are effected by what they evolve into, as well.
>>30228783
Forgot to star Charmander.
>>30228914
Sorry, *affected
>>30227812
I did this on my phone though
Lots of grass bias, but #2 and #3 are pretty fairly split
>not using all starters
fuck the tepig line though
Based on the first stage ONLY. If I was judging by the whole evolution line, pretty much everything would be different
>>30227262
Only going off final evolutions here
Rate my shit taste
>>30227262
The one and only truth all other opinions are invalid.
>>30229277
literally 0/7
Grass mons, best mons
>>30227262
What are you on, op? There's no need to start this thread, because there's only two bad starters.
>>30229113
I don't like tepig and it's evo, but emboar it's rad as fuck, especially it's sprite.
>>30228223
You blocked out one of my favorites, but greened three others - and really, you only need three to get on my good side.
So you're decent.
>>30227262
rate me
>>30230048
>No favorite
Wew lad
>>30227262
If you dont define criteria this is pointless. Also, is this for the whole line or just 1st stage? Because that changes things.
>>30229888
Gen VII is already out. Have you been living under a rock?

the more i look at the more questions i have
I just love me some water gator.
>>30230879
kanto and hoenn were a mistake
>>30227262
I like water starters.
>>30227262
i cant choose for some of them
>>30230879
ask me anything anon
I hate gen 3 and 4 starters

Such a pleb thread. Sad!
>>30228044
b-but why turtwig?
>>30228223
Pretty good taste in my opinion.
>>30230882
Piplup is definitely the cutest of Gen IV starters
8/10
>>30231203
Totodile is my Gen II nigga

I like 'em too, with some grass on the side

I can dig a Snivy fan. Same Grass selection as me. 9/10

Yeah Kalos was just, eh.

>>30232047
That's a shame you couldn't find at least one out of III or IV to pick. 6/10
>>30232292
More Snivy and Mudkip love is alright with me.
8/10
I'm not a big fan of "the fire types"
>>30231233
I mean, that's technically not wrong either. both were honestly cheeks
>>30231913
mostly the absence of the unova starters
i have little to no passion for anything after gen 4, except froakie. I like torchic but blaziken is a meh for me. Piplup and turtwig are tied, so that could go either way
>>30227262
>>30232642
When Gen V was announced I was really hyped,but when I played BW,I saw that games were not that great,mostly because my expectations were really high
And that's why I don't like Gen V
Feel free to ask more questions
>>30232363
I like the typing, evos are solid, and the movepool is nice. Its pretty cute too. I spend the longest time in Sinnoh so they all grew on me after various playthroughs.
>>30228914
Supremely good taste, anon. Very respectable!
I also hate niggers :]
>>30227262
Bulbasaur was always my bro.
>>30227262
>>30233787
I'd almost always pick Bulbasaur because of type advantage (first 2 gyms).
>>30227262
Only right answer desu.
>>30227262
I really feel about the same with bulbasaur/charmander and mudkip/treecko
>>30227262

Otherwise explain yourself on the hate for Infernape.
Grass 1st choice everytime, fire is 2nd for gens 1 and 2, and then water is 2nd every other game.
2nd generation were the ones I liked the best. Also have not evolved my starter for 3 generations now.
I think we can all agree that generally Grass>Water>Fire
firefags are fedora tippers who wear pick related

These guys get it.
If you disagree you're wrong
I didn't use any of the starters in gen 6 or 7, they were all terrible.
i dont dislike charmender, chikorita, or chimchar though
>tfw shit taste
