Ok so lisen up I've been away for quite a while No one really cares but anyway I have a question that I'm honestly very curious about
What is your least favorite starter
ok so If any of you even remember me (and who would) You would remember that I hate rowlet well my opinions have changed and I No longer think that
I dont think Cyndaquil is either I was just very dumb when I had those opinions
honestly this question is very very tough if you ask me but if I were to pick 3 It would probably be Chikorita ,popplio, and Maybe treecko or totodile again its very hard I love all these starters and it doenst matter if You dont like something I do People have opinions and you shouldn't shove your opinions into others faces (aggressively like saying how people are stupid for disliking tepig just an example )yea Ig tell me what your least favorite starter is Or dont idc

Starters are generally well designed but I think my least favourites in no particular order are Chikorita line, Scorbunny line, Torchic line, and Piplup (not the evolutions). If I had to pick one it would be Scorbunny, while I don't think Scorbunny is a bad design, Cinderace has such an unappealing design and it feels incomplete. I'm fine with anthros in Pokémon but Cinderace doesn't feel like a creature.

I’m not a big fan of Oshawott and Chimchar. They’re final evolutions are great but I’d still rank them pretty low on my favorites list.

My least favourite starter is Popplio. Its ears make it look weird in my opinion. Its middle evolution, Brionne, is really hideous. The only thing I can tolerate about its line is Primarina, and even then, I'd rather use one of the other 2 Alolan starters.

Honorable mentions are Oshawott (though Ilike its evolutions) and Chespin (I didn't like it until I got a cute plushie of it).

Fennekin - We already have an fire fennec fox, it's name's Flareon (albeit it being an cat-fennec mix)
Rowlet - It looks like an bird of the phantom of the opera with that that leaf bowtie, but i respect the others who like it
Grookie & Scorbunny - Sobble is better

Update

Chespin - TBH Froakie is the only starter that was useful in Kalos
Name - Bartek

I’m not a fan of Incenaroar even though his pre-evolutions are adorable. He looks like a fevered nightmare.

Piplup. The anime just made it to be really annoying, so I just don't care for it. =/ I'll use one every once in awhile, I guess, but I don't know, the anime version just left a sour taste in my mouth for this starter Pokemon. I don't dislike Piplup, though, but I'd never rank it above any of the others, I guess?

I don’t dislike any of them honestly... ; ; but I suppose if I had to pick which rank lowest, it’d be turtwig and grookey’s lines?

Scorbunny and Sobble lines honestly. Cinderace imo is incredibly overrated design wise (it looks more like a 2nd stager but they increased the size a bit). I like Sobble on its own but, Drizzile and Inteleon are just really random evolutionary paths (like why did Sobble become emo and then... level-headed?) not to mention they don't have great designs either. I also don't really like Charmander either but, that's mainly because of GF and Nintendo's efforts to shove more and more Charizard (same with Pikachu, Eevee and Meowth) content down our throats (like yall really tried to make Charizard viable in competitive for so long).

I think Oshawott. I don't mind Oshawott itself, but I don't really like either of its evolutions. u_u

Neither Turtwig or Chimchar are all that interesting to me. Maybe it's because the Piplup line is in my top 2 or 3 favorites for the starters, that the other 2 are at the bottom of my list.

Chespin line, and I actually still like it but it's just... Uh, how should I say it? I feel other starters are better. Also Charmander line for obvious reasons

I used to dislike Torchic line a lot because I love Treecko line but everyone... Almost everyone in my circle used Blaziken instead of Swampert or Sceptile which made me really sour about it. But as I grow up, I feel that Torchic line is actually great and I appreciate it now.

My least favorite starter is Cinderace. It just looks so plain...it looks like a middle evolution instead of fully evolved Pokemon.

Basic: Chimchar I just find it unsettling (those "inside-out eyelids" don't help)
Stage 1: Quilladin Its face takes up way too much of its body and I hate that nose...
Stage 2: Cinderace I'm not a fan of any of the fully-evolved Gen. 6-8 Fire Starters, but Cinderace is the most awkward IMO

My least favorite line overall would probably be Chespin's. Although I chose Chespin for my first Gen. 6 playthrough after seeing some cute fan art on DeviantArt, its design feels disjointed. I'm also not a big fan of Chesnaught; it's a little clunky for my taste and perhaps a bit too humanoid.

I despise the entire Tepig line, for a couple reasons listed below.

1.) No one asked for another Fire/Fighting-type. Blaziken was epic when it was released, Infernape was a slight let-down but still great, and then we have macho pig.
2.) There was so much wasted opportunity. I would’ve loved to see a Fire/Steel-type, with thick, nearly impenetrable hide causing outrageous defense, however low the speed.
3.) There was no reason to make it bipedal. It’s a pig. I get the chicken, it isn’t quadruped in reality, I get the simian, but I do not get the wrestler hog.

I also don’t like Quilladin for obvious reasons, and I’ve always disliked Samurott. Side note, though, if I had a Dewott, I’d never let it evolve. Dewott is way cuter than Oshawott and Samurott.

I don't really have a least favourite one, but there are a few lines or stages that I don't like (in order of generation; don't have anything bad to say about the starters in gens I, II, and VI):
- Blaziken was for a long time one of my favourite Pokémon and I still like its design and Torchic very much... but Combusken is imho by far the worst starter design in the first three generations.
- Chimchar is meh, but at least the evolutions look great; similarly I really like Piplup and Prinplup but I've never been that fond of Empoleon.
- among the three Unova starter lines, I have to say that the Snivy and Tepig ones have grown quite a bit on me, I think they're mostly average but (except for Emboar) I don't think they're as hideous as I thought before. The Oshawott line is still my favourite of the three though.
- Incineroar might be my least favourite pre-Galar starter stage... and it's really disappointing as Litten and especially Torracat are really great designs imho.
- I really don't like the three Galar lines at all. Scorbunny and Grookey are the only two that are average or slightly above average to me, and maybe Raboot isn't that bad too, but I don't like the others at all though. Maybe they'll grow on me as the Unova lines did but as for now I think these are much worse than I used to think the gen V starters were.

So, if I had to choose a least favourite starter, excluding evolutions, I think it'd be either Sobble or Snivy; including evolutions it's either Inteleon or Cinderace.

I personally think the Chespin, Grookey and Grookey line look horrendous. Mainly because of their final evolution.
