Reminder that the Johto starters are objectively the worst

Those are amazingly designed.
Gen 5 has worst Starters. Subjectively.

The only place Johto was lacking 'mon-wise was in the starter department. Other than that Johto had objectively the best 'mons ever introduced.

You must be confused, OP; that's not the proper usage of "objectively". Don't worry, it's a common mistake.

At least Serperior has very unique design and cool hidden ability and Emboar has that fighting typing that helps him stand out when compared to 2nd gen. Samurott also isnt that bad as people like him to see. 2nd gen are literally the most forgetable and least useful bunch maybe with the exception of Feraligatr

Ariados and Sudowoodo have great designs. Qwilfish, Ledian, and Wobbufett, too. Just because their stats are lacking is hardly relevant to a design-based franchise like Pokemon ultimately is.

I actually like Meganium more than Venusaur.

I hope it gets a mega that makes it more relevant.

If we're talking about comfy starters to lay on top of, both of them lose to the champ and the best grass starter.

Now that someone made a thread I'll just vent a bit.

Why the hell don't Johto starters get any love from pokemon co.? I've never even played any of the Johto games but the designs are freaking amazing. The last and only time I saw any of these starters get any love was when Feraligatr got a supporting role in the Genesect movie. A fucking supporting role. I think Sableye got almost as much screen time and while Sableye is one of my favorites it felt almost out of place there. Yeah Johto got remakes that I hear are great so maybe I missed out when the people in charge of pokemon cared about gen 2 starters. All that matters now are the Gen 6, Gen 3 and like always Gen 1 starters. I have nothing against those Gens (bulbasaur is not only #1 in the pokedex) but gen 2 starters clearly get the short end of the stick. They didn't even get Megas which while I personally don't care for are a sign of what "merchandise" the pokemon people want to push and it certainly isn't gen 2 starters.

Gen 2 was a great gen and in my opinion one of, if not THE, most solid lineup of pokemon of any gen. 4 of them did get mega but none of the starters. The starters, fucking tyranitar, ariados, scizor, foresstres, wooper, crobat are some of my favorites. Including the 3 dogs it has one of the best legandary lineup that are both unforgettable and iconic.

Meganium and Typhlosion are worse than discount Gen 1, they seem unplayable. The designs are top notch but their movesets are trash. How many unbelievably great moves doesn't Charizard have? Typhlosion has the same stats so the only reason I can explain why it doesn't see any play is its trash moveset. Feralegatr is not very good but the gap between it and Blastoise is smaller compared to the others.

The way gen 2 starters are treated by pokemon co. is a waste of monetary and entertainment potential.

TLDR: I feel bad for how gen 2 starters and their fans are treated.

He's cool and I'd let him play with my Venusaur but he would clearly be a slow pokemon if you know what I mean.

Opinions can't be objective, faggot.
You can say, for example, Gen 2 starters are the least liked, according to whatever data is available.
Or, "I dislike Gen 2 starters more than any other Gen."

However, you statement implying something can objectively be the worst in any non-measurable way, and instead based purely on one's own shit taste, is subjectively incorrect.

Mine too, I'd always wanted a penguin pokemon, and I got everything I wanted with this. Infernape is my second favorite, and Torterra is my third. Only after that do other gens even begin to compete.

Gen 4 did nothing wrong when it came to starters, both in terms of aesthetics and typing/stats.
