Oshawott's line I liked the best because of its evolutions. The jump from Dewott to Samurott was a bit odd and unexpected, but I did like its design still and the fact it wield swords hidden in its legs/arms was quite neat imo.
Tepig though was disappointing, I really didn't like how its evolutions went. Serperior is alright but not among my more favoured starters, to be honest.
I agree with ya Marcin, I didn't know we both liked Oshawott lol
But while Samurott may look different to his pre-evos, I do love how he hides those swords in his legs and he can even stand up on two legs when using the swords. Also, Oshawott's scalchop is shown in the animation for the move Razor Shell, probably because of how the line is heavily associated with the move despite not being a signature move. Oshawott captures cuteness perfectly, Samurott captures the badass side, while Dewott is a mixture of both. No wonder it's always my starter of choice whenever I play a Unova game.
Snivy's line was kinda cool-looking as well despite the terrible movepool, and I actually don't mind Tepig's line at all, I don't even find Emboar ugly at all unlike most people here. Plus, he's actually kinda strong when trained correctly.
I love bug pokémon, since I don't care about stats and battling inside the games ;) For roleplays, they make brilliant pokémon to have on a team. Especially stuff like Heracross or Scyther. Or Ledian, hm, I should have caught a Ledyba in that RP just now. Maybe I can arrange a trade for one later.
Yeah, Bug-types definitely got stronger over the generations, especially when he had hard-hitters like Scizor, Heracross, Pinsir, Scolipede, Volcarona, Galvantula, Yanmega and Genesect come onto the scene. And I was so surprised that in X/Y, Vivillon can potentially destroy a lot of early opponents thanks to the buffed power of Struggle Bug.
No wonder I love my beloved male River Vivillon so much... he's now an amazing Compound Eyes + Hurricane abuser.
