Well Ms. Gardy, I actually played a whole game with a team consisting of only Shinies in Emerald once (of course not got legitimately, hehe ;)), so yep I have used a Shiny Pikachu on my team.

Frankly speaking, Rowlet is my least fav of the three starters in SM.

I feel anyone who doesn't like Rowlet is a rare occurrence nonetheless. But had Popplio's evolutions gone in a horror clown direction, I would have picked Rowlet but the problem is I don't usually like picking the starter that everyone else seems to want.

I think in-game Rowlet had a similar problem to Snivy in Unova that there were so many good Grass Types available you did not need one as your starter.

Whilst Gen 7 does not give you a Lilligant very early in the game like White if you know where to look, the likes of Lilligant, Tsareena and Lurantis mean you don't need Decidueye.

There's a lot of good Ghost types available too.

The designs of the Rowlet line didn't appeal to me at all. I don't exactly find it cute either, in fact I think Hoothoot is cuter. The Litten line is the best of the lot & surprisingly, I don't hate the Popplio line, despite what the (un)popular opinion is.

If I were playing the games, I'd certainly have picked Litten as my Starter.

I admit no such thing, I couldn't stand any of the 7th Gen Pokemon...literally any of them. It was worse than Gen VI for me, where at least I had one or two Pokemon I didn't mind. All Gen 7 had going for me was that Solgaleo was a White Tigerzord expy.

I had hopes Rowlet would turn out well, but Decidueye is such a bad design that I can't even...

LegendChu April 28th, 2017 10:15 AM

Gen VI was still the worst for me. But I agree, Decidueye is easily the worst final Stage Evo of the three SM Starters.

Oh, I don't know about that, they're all pretty awful. Incineroar should have ended up looking like a fiery version of Raikou or something, and Primarina is just plain disgusting, like most water-type starters. Decidueye looks ridiculous, but it's the least offensive of the three I think...

LegendChu April 28th, 2017 10:28 AM

391

Incineroar should have remained a quadruped, but its still better than the other two. Some of the other Pokemon are disgusting though like Pyukumuku, Wishiwashi.

Pika Pika :chu:

I do like the name, though. Wishiwashi. Very clever. Apart from the obvious English play on words, "Iwashi" is Japanese for sardine...or pilchard. I never thought learning that would actually come in handy elsewhere. xD

For a mascot Legendary, Lunala is especially bad as well. It's Noivern with that crazy space filter people put on pictures sometimes.

Meadow April 28th, 2017 6:18 PM

BO0!

Strangely enough, I always found Litten to be quite ugly for a cat, haha. xD At least the anime made all of the starters look cuter than their game counterparts, though!

I still remember when I saw nothing but hatred directed at my bby Popplio. Guess that's what happens when you have a clown nose.

Kotori actually came out with that first, so technically she should approve of Rowlet...and there is enough fanart of her holding one, haha.

Okay wait just a minute, I just read the Boo (hoo) rules, scrolled back a few pages & noticed that the counter reached 300 on my Post, so I'm a Permanent Ghost, according to the rules, right (I can see my name as one on the OP)? So I have the power to Boo? If I Boo, I get a ♥ Status against my name is it? If I Boo thrice, I get 3 ♥s against my name, right? If I Boo a fourth time, do I go back to being a human again? How do I Boo? When can I Boo? Explain please, don't want to make a boo-boo :P.

P.S. - Don't I get an Emblem - https://i.imgur.com/UQvE3wf.png ;)?

And to keep the conversation Pokemon-related, Litten IS NOT UGLY >:(, Rowlet is the closest of the three SM Starters that can be called that. I'm very neutral towards Popplio though.

According to a poll on starter popularity by generation, Rowlet was the first Grass-type starter to be the most chosen starter of a generation. Which heavily contrasts that previous Grass-type starters used to be the least chosen.

pkmin3033 April 29th, 2017 4:55 AM

I don't choose grass starters often, but honestly the only ones I haven't liked design-wise have been Treecko, Snivy, and Chespin. Rowlet I see more as the least of the three evils...it's a mediocre design in a bad generation, not a bad design in a good one. Although I seem to have a thing against odd-numbered gens...

Hikamaru April 29th, 2017 6:56 AM

I always seem to pick Water, though Fire ended up being my picks in 4th Gen... aka both Chimchar and Cyndaquil.

Meadow April 29th, 2017 8:14 AM

7.

In my case, I'd say 5th gen was the odd one out in terms of starters. I essentially always choose the Grass-type starter in almost every game (with Fire usually being my least favorite), but Unova was the only case where I really liked the Fire-type starter and didn't care for the Grass-type. No idea why, hehe. xD

Yes to all of your questions! I was able to add you to the list last night but couldn't get around to the emblem because my internet (or browser?) was lagging pretty badly, so I planned on giving it to you after I woke up today... which is now, so congrats! :D

Also, you can BOO anytime you want simply by saying the word "BOO" instead of posting a number, but be aware that even Permanent Ghosts can revert to their human forms! =p

Yup, you're absolutely correct! Also, I actually got a female Rowlet as my starter when I played through Sun a few months ago, and my sister made me nickname it after Kotori. xD

I've done this with my Rowlet. xD

I also have a Piplup named Honoka, a Torchic named Maki, a Skarmory named Nico Nico Nii, and a Pidgey named Eli. I am in Idol Hell. Help. xD

I knew everyone would want female Popplio after seeing Primarina, but I said "if I get a male, I'll stick with it" and what do you, he ended up with a +Sp. Atk nature and perfect IVs in that same stat. No wonder he was a powerhouse of my team.

Radiating April 29th, 2017 9:43 PM

I spent 2 hours soft resetting for a decent nature female Popplio. X_X

The lengths some people will go to is scary sometimes.

Hikamaru April 29th, 2017 9:54 PM

The only time I ever truly started with a female starter was my Mudkip in my original Ruby. This was even before I knew male starters were horrendously common.

BO.... na, not so soon ;).

Oooohh, I can feel the power >:).

Okay, one final question, when you have exams, do you study or do you Revise :P?

I reset a lot, to get a beneficial Nature. I don't think I've ever started with a female Starter in any game.

Pika Pika :chu:

Never have I bothered with resetting for a nature. I've tried for shininess but that didn't work out >.>

Hikamaru April 30th, 2017 5:15 AM

My Primarina in Moon still remains my best starter in terms of nature and IVs. Having both a Rash nature (it ain't Modest but still good) and perfect Sp. Attack IVs made sure he was going to hurt when he dished out a strong attack.
