>Gen 1 Starters
All pretty equal in power nowadays, with blastoise only falling a bit behind
>Gentoo Starters
Meganium is the worst starter of all, but typhlosion and gatr dont really fall behind
>Gen 3 Starters
Speed Boost blaziken is stupid
but all starters seem to be on sonewhat equal ground
>4
All pretty equal but torterra falling behind due to typing and infernape rising due to its utility
>5
Speed boost blaziken 2.0
>GEN 6
>lets make two starters painfully average and the other is given the gift of the gods
>Gen 7
starters are equal, they did good but the aforementioned starter gets a special snowflake anime form
Even tho gf gave charizard two megas due to popularity, its still on par with the others
You cant say the same about special snowflake froggo

Let's be real though, Game Freak probably didn't even know Protean was good, all that had it before was a shitmon.
>>31308311
this thread is stupid. the implication is that gen 6 starters are unequal relative to the other starter trios, but blaziken, charizard, and serperior are all significantly better than the other starters in their respective trios.
>>31308311
Typhlosion falls behind completely. Feraligatr is the sole redeeming starter there.

>all that had it before was a shitmon
What this Anon mean by this?Kecleon IS still a shitmon even with it
>>31308369
It's not only about the ability ...
Smash and anime and more merchandise, literally favoritism

Well, despite the punches and nice moves, nigger also has Dragon Dance, too bad for my bro Typhlosion, hope the megas can fix them IF there are any more, but would suck that only two sets of starters get mega evos. (Even if gen 3 are my faves).

there's nothing wrong with using a particular Pokemon that appeals to a large portion of the target audience to promote the franchise
>>31308422
Gatr is obviously better, but typhlosion isn't that far behind.

I know, I like greninja, I'm just saying the ability wasn't the only reason he's more liked than the others
