The Empoleon line is the only one I've never taken a liking to. I would have chosen Emboar, but I gave it a chance in my most recent play through of White, and it proved to be something that's making me doubt all of my other play throughs of the game.
|
Definitely the Piplup line. I mean Empoleon was Steel, which was cool, but overall the whole evolution line didn't have many good moves, or stats in my opinion, especially compared to the other two starter lines in Sinnoh.
|
The one thing that completely screwed up BW for me, Tepig. I used to almost always go with the fire type starter and then the stupid thing is a freaking pig. Not counting the fact that it's another fire/fighting type. The whole evolution line just pisses me off. -.-
|
Piplup/Prinplup/Empoleon,
Piplup and Prinplup not bad, but Empoleon makes the evolution weak. Why? Because steel is make fire more strong to us, that make me always cancel evolution from Prinplup to Empoleon. |
I like all the starters, but if I HAD to choose one I would choose squirtle. I like them, but wartortle just looked ugly to me. I don't know, just my opinion.
|
Tepig's line. It's just pure proof that they're running out of ideas. What really let me down is that the final evolution was a type combo we've seen in another starter. What happened to being unique?
|
Treeko's line is the worst because they are ugly and there are better grass types, IMO.
Anyhow, here's my opinion on the starters: Bulbasaur- Adorable. Inysaur- Kind of cool. Vensaur- How the hell did cute little Bulbasaur turn into an obese toad-cat? Squirtle- Cute. Wartortle- Almost as cute as Squirtle. Blastoise- Why is there a giant obese blue woman with canons coming out of her back sitting on my evolving Wartortle?... Oh. Charmander- Cute-ish, I've seen cuter. Charmeleon- Meh. Charizard- ...Meh. Chikorita- OK. Bayleef- OK. Meganium- Would be darling if she had a more feline figure than dino figure. Totodile- I almost died it's so cute. Croconaw- Looks like a little fat caveman. Feraligatr- Cool until you look at the jaw. Cyndaquil- Cute, but needs open eyes. Quilava- Cool. Typhlosion- Kind of cool. Treeko- Ugly. Grovyle- Pretty color scheme, ugly design. Sceptile- Ugly. Mudkip- Excuse me sir, you have rubber gloves stuck to your cheeks. Marshtomp- Oh hey, there's no gloves on your cheeks anymore. Now they look like.. Nevermind. Swampert- Ugly. Torchic- Hideous little bugger, aren't ya? I feel so sorry for you I want to euthanize you. Combusken- Looks like a menally challenged chicken. Blaziken- Bell-bottoms, talaons, and a beak that goes up his face? Ugh. Turtwig- I know this line is going to be trouble. Grotle- Oh God.. Torterra- Not as bad as I expected! Still hideous. Piplup- Pretty cute. Prinplup- Ugly. Empoleon- Gross. And there is so much potential for appealing design with a penguin -sigh.- Chimchar- Cute, I'd probably love it if I were a monkey fan. Monferno- Decent. Monferno- Decent. I might actually like it if it weren't for all the 'stuff' (The gold swirls, the shirt-thingy, the giant red eyebrow.) Snivy- Cute. Servine- You would look better with no limbs. Serperior- Awesome. Oshawott- Would be adorable without the big nose, but at the same time it adds to uniqueness. Dewott- Oh my god, so cool! Samurott- What the.. How, just how could we go from cute otter to cuter otter to this crap? It doesn't even look like it belongs in the evolution line! Tepig- I smell BBQ pork. Pignite- Did Ms.Piggy get 3rd degree burns somehow? Emboar- Dear god, you're ugly. |
Infernape would be my least favorite; chimchar wasn't too bad , monferno looked like a monkey with clown makeup , infernape looks like an old coot with temperamental issues...
Other than that, it was a great battle pokemon in D/P/Pt (in-game) ~ Jay |
It has 100% have to be the Chikorita line.
Meganium is more or less useless in every possible way and is really the only starter that is almost entirely a complete hindrance in-game. I have always found the Grass starter lines to be the weakest, with the exception of Sceptile. Quick, good sp.Atk and it can learn dragon pulse. Not a necessity, but it's something different and can be quite helpful. As a whole, I would say Gen III had the most well rounded and all around best starters. I can't fathom why there is so much hate for Infernape. There is so much potential. Consider this as a moveset; Blaze Kick, Close Combat, Thunder Punch, U-Turn. Its perfect. |
Tepig -> Pignite -> Emboar, because ugly line is ugly. I like their names though.
|
They just took the Fire/Fighting combo really far. Seriously, THREE Fire-Fighting combos in a row? That's just too weird for me.
|
For me it has to be Turtwig/Grotle/Torterra. Don't get me wrong I love them but they seemed like a redo of Bulbasaur/Ivysaur/Venusaur (Which is my second favourite)
I surprised so many people hate Chikorita/Bayleef/Meganium that is my favourite, but that might be because Chikorita was my very first Pokemon. |
