Now that the final evolutions have officially been revealed and we have a little background information on the stats, abilities, movesets, in-game models/animations, ect., we can include the alolan starters to the list of eligible final evolutions.
I'm not voting on the poll because I hate picking only one. But if I had to choose, I'd say Primarina has become my new fave starter final evolution of all time, having base Sp. Atk and Sp. Def that blows the others out of the water (get it?) with surpassing Delphox in the former and Blastoise in the latter.
I am so looking forward to using this beauty when I get my copies of the games next week!
I'll mention my favourite fully evolved starter for each generation:
Gen 1: Venusaur
Gen 2: Feraligatr
Gen 3: I love them all, but if I had to choose, I'd pick Swampert
Gen 4: Infernape, with Empoleon following closely
Gen 5: Serperior
Gen 6: Greninja
Gen 7: Incineroar
I'm split between Venusaur, Swampert, Torterra, Sceptile and Decidueye. Competitively I love to use Venusaur as a favorite and I think Primerina will definitely be interesting. When it comes to design I think Sceptile and Decidueye stand out the most with me, but with Decidueye I don't really like the fawn-y color palette. ;o; Might've liked something darker on the wings.
So probably Sceptile! Or Swampert... I just can't choose on this one. ;o;
Charizard has always and always will be my favorite Pokemon. It was the first Pokemon I ever used and I raised it from a young, fresh Charmander to a level 100, and it really helped make me the person I am today. Charizard has so much sentimental value in my heart, I'd be lying if I said any other Pokemon would be my favorite final evolution.
Went with Sceptile because it has a very appealing design, in my opinion, and because Treecko was my first starter. Also because Sceptile is probably the Pokemon I've spent the most time with.
I thought Infernape had a pretty good design. I think it's based off of Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, which I definitely watched and enjoyed as a kid (Sun Wukong was really cool and strong). Infernape is also really fast and versatile in competitive play, so I appreciate that.
I'm torn between Feraligatr and Primarina asdf. But I plan to use Primarina in SM when I come around to buying it and so hopefully after using one I will decide.
When it comes to my favorite final evolutions for the Starter Pokemon, it happens to be all of the Water type ones. Course with the looks of Primarina, it takes the number one spot from Blastoise.
Wow, I never knew infernape was so popular. Even though, in my book, he is in the middle of the pack as far as favorites go, he's always my choice for gen 4.
