Honestly I think every Gen has their awesome designs and their lackluster designs.

 

[Arcanir]

I'm one of the few that likes the Chikorita line, but I gotta admit it's kinda weak design wise

Chesnaught. Gen 6 had the worst designs for Pokemon hands down.

I'm not sure if I would call them the worst, but I do think they are overall the most forgettable group. Outside of the Legendaries, Greninja, and a few standouts like Noivern most of them just got lost in a sea of old faces since GF was high on nostalgia at the time and due to the distribution in the games it was easy to ignore the majority of them. Plus, for me it had the least amount of Pokemon that stuck with me out of the generations so it left even less of a mark.

 

[Wademan94]

I had a hunch that the loli in your pfp was actually hundreds of years old lol.

Actually that’d be me.

Also SHAAAAAAAAAARK.

[Noipoi]

I think gen 7 has among the best starter designs all three stages work both as a trio and as individual Pokémon they’re super creative that’s just my opinion though.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Samurott has a great design, its just jaring because it evolves from an anthropomorhpic otter.

Honestly I think that's one of the biggest problems with starters these days. When you pick a Charmander or Bulbasaur, you pretty much know what you're getting into - a bigger, cooler version of it with the same overall body plan. But if you pick Litten because its a cute little tiger you might not be so excited when it evolves into something with a totally different appeal.

But does she have bottom teeth?

I think that's just a constant of game design.

Sometimes designs will land, other times not so much.

Not until I know what you quoted me for!

Look up a couple posts

I've always thought it would be really cool if when you go to select a starter, you can also see silhouettes of it's evolved stages, so you know partially what you're getting into.

It would be a small thing that would go a long way.

You are correct. You should watch Re:Zero after what you are finishing anime wise.

My friend, your pfp. It's so super adorable!

Hell if I know

I found Gen 6 designs to be some of the most iconic.

It's on my list along with Konosuba, Dr. Stone, and Attack on Titan.

Gonna finish the first season of Overlord before I start one of them, though. Only four more episodes to go and I still think the show is just...okay. Too many characters that have very little done with them so I'm finding it a bit hard to care.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

All the Pokémon starter talk and I’m just gonna sit in my little corner with my misspelled best boy.

 

[Aetheri]

I've always been fond of the idea of having branched evolutions for the starters.

Game Freak seems to be fond of the anthro forms for the starters (and of course they have their fans as well) and the community as a whole really likes having actual ....animals for the starters so...

 

[Hadokeyblade]

You know it's kinda weird that Goodsmile hasn't made Final fantasy nendoroid figures yet.

Their doing a few Dragon quest ones and a whole line of Kingdom hearts ones so it's kinda weird.

 

[Mamboo07]

Why do I feel like Fire Starters are becoming more and more like furries?

We went from a cool dragon to a anthromorphic rabbit.
(Their final evolutions)

I mean....they've pretty much been furries since Gen 3

But Blaziken and Infernape are awesome so we didn't really care then...

 

[Deleted member]

Nah, I never bothered with those.

nah. never been interested, and they’re a bit too expensive/invasive for my liking(just the thought of having my ears pierced sounds horrible to me)

N-nani!? I guess I'm the only e-boy here. Jk haha

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I didn't l like any of Gen 8's starters when I first saw them. They just seemed cheesy and uninspired at first. But after a couple of days, they all sort of grew on me.

Grookey became my favorite of the trio pretty quickly.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I don't like a lot of Gen 8 designs lol

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Gen 6 had the worst designs for Pokemon hands down.

Okay, now you've really done it

I'd still throw in a few anime on the short side of numbers to that list honestly. Angel Beats, The Devil is a Part Timer etc (and Wonder Egg Priority when it's done). Just not wear yourself out and having something more on that side of about 12 episodes.

Konosuba and Dr. Stone are still good choices though former tries way too hard to be constantly funny.

Attack on Titan isn't my kinda of anime plus a fella I know ruined it by doing something really ****ing weird so every time I think of the anime I think of him.

Oh ya


Bowser's Fury is



Open World.


I await the fire to come by saying such a thing.

 

[Noipoi]

who wanna see some console starterss?

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Is it me or does the forum feel like it's been given a bit of a shake-up the past few days?

Like it feels a bit more active or different in a way. Maybe it's cause I'm up this late all the time now is why I feel something a bit different so it's probably just me.

I should go to bed shortly.

Typhlosion looks like a sad banana these days but I still have a soft spot for it.

Who knows? I just let creator's intent be creator's intent. I'm used to it now as long as they don't do anything real concerning with characters like that to the point where I think the creator needs to be thrown into an asylum.

Still fiction is fiction, if I can avoid it I can avoid it.

Fanservice is a bit different though of a subject.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I really hope my efforts aren't in vein or futile. I just know that if I just sit back and let the people who make these decisions make them on their own then the idea will never even enter their heads. I don't know. I'm just desperate I guess.

 

[Arcanir]

Since we're rating starters:

Outside of Feraligatr this is mostly a general gist, but overall I don't dislike any of them.

I mean, truthfully, they are. Change.org petitions amount to nothing, and like, I'd argue that 99% of the time that the thing they're directed towards never even see it.
