Least favorite starter

Chikorita, i cant tell you why, but it always mad me laugh, and say "whos gonna pick that?"
 
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.
 
i dont really have one but if i had to pick one that doesnt interest me much as the others.. i guess Tepig?
i also only played up to X and Y, i have the other games, just haven't started them yet so idk the ones past that...
