>>32109165Who the hell cares what they think. I've had to sit around for over 4 (FOUR) years of having fucking Probopass as my favorite Pokemon and you know what that taught me? Caring what others think sucks and it's better if you don't. You don't like starters? That's cool, I mean I love starters but I don't have to force you to. Anyone saying going starterless isn't authentic Pokemon is fucking retarded. You played with the team you wanted, that's the authentic Pokemon experience. Don't listen to /vp/ about starter viability either, they just want to win cancerous shitflinging wars for their favorite.
Also curious, what do you tend to take as your starter instead, a Route 1 mon?
