I'm glad the fourth gen club got some life kicked back into it, its been a while. :(
Yeah, I'll admit that the Sinnoh starters weakness for me was their second evolution designs. I loved each and every one of their first and final evolutions. But when it came to the middle, they felt flawed compared to the other two. Maybe it's the whole thing of second being the middle and creating something that helps transition an evolution from first to final. In this case it was something in the middle of 'cute little animals' to 'huge beasts'. Seeing as that was a huge gap in terms of design, it would of been pretty hard to create a perfect-looking middle evolution so I applaud Gamefreak on their effort.
I'm not saying they were terrible, I just wasn't a huge fan of them. Grotle felt really awkward-looking, Monferno was alright but maybe the colour scheme could of changed slightly and Prinplup was okay as well except for the blues being a bit weird with each other. But the huge transition from second to final was pretty wow. (in a good and bad sense?) Jungle to kung fu fighting, more fierce designs, emperor penguins, it was a gigantic leap. But that's what final evolutions are supposed to be and it happens to almost every starter outside of fourth gen so I'm cool with it. :)
Also yes to Sinnoh starters getting mega evolutions. :D I think all starters are bound to get them eventually due to how iconic they are in the franchise. However I really don't want Gamefreak to do an Ampharos and throw huge white hair onto Infernape. ;__;
