Kalos wins one victory over Unova. As a whole, Gen 6 was garbage and inferior to Gen 5 but the starter pokemon from gen 6 aren't just better overall, they are all consistently good designs and playable.
>Serperior line
This was really the only good starter from Unova. It had the most memorable starter design and contrary gave it a fun and strong niche for battling.
>Emboar line
Ugly doodoo dogshit with boring typing after the two previous gens of fire/fighting, does nothing new for battling
>Samurott line
Ugly doodoo dogshit that does nothing good or unique in battling
Contrast these to gen 6 starters. Kalos starters were on the level of quality that make me like all of them and I would play any of them like I have all three of the Hoenn and Sinnoh starters.
>Cool unique secondary typings
>Neat theme of knight, wizard, ninja
>Chesnaught line
Nice defensive pokemon
>Fox line
Unique and fun ability for battling niche
>Greninja line
Like him or hate him, the design is solid and his playability is the best a starter has ever been, being in the top 10 of OU since release.
