>>51519039Yeah starter selection in most of the games if pretty shit. Most of the starters are the same 3 pokemon until you evolve them and learn some fun moves. Its annoying that each game has a couple unique ones and then they're just gone the next. R.I.P Machop, Cubone, Psyduck and Vulpix.
It's no wonder Riolu is so popular cause other than Pikachu and Eevee its pretty much the only one that isn't one of the triad starters.
Its too bad Alola didn't get a game. I'd be sick to just chill on an island with your partner. Also new opportunities for unique starters like Alolan Vupix and all that.
