>>33447972Gen VII starters reactions were just a more hyperbolic version of the Gen VI starter reactions:
Though Chesnaught was not particularly well received, the negativity upped tenfold at Incineroar in most places i've seen.
Greninja was slightly polarizing in the first week of his leak, but became arguably the most popular water starter, and one of the most popular starters overall after official reveal to compensate, Decidueye by comparison was constantly liked during his entire lifespan, he might not have reached Greninja-levels of popularity, but he's also arguably one of the most popular Grass starters and Got into Pokken.
Delphox was also polarizing
because so many more people wanted to fug its pre-evo but it still had lots of popularity among people that wanted to fug it. I guess you could say Primarina was an inverted Delphox, with more people wanting to fug the final stage than the mid-stage, making it quite popular overall.
