I guess Chikorita is overall seen as not the best starter but kanto starters all in top 10? Piplup? Chespin? Really?

At least the japanese acknowledges that Chespin is objectively the worst starter of Kalos.

Literally only right about Chikorita. Everything else is mixed up as hell.

Sure...regular in-game Chespin gets a lot better coverage than Fennekin and Froakie

But that's not what happened to my Crystal playthrough at all. My Meganium's been a bro throughout all times.

Bunch of casuals.

>Chespin
>Charmander

Oh I get it, this is a Top 10 list of most seriously useless starter pokemon when I don't bother building a legitimate team that covers all types top. You make a fucking team to support each and every other pokemon one another, not just shove your Piplup against a Grass type only team and expect it NOT to be in danger somehow.

>Piplup the second most "seriously useless" starter
Holy shit what? Not only does Empoleon learn more HMs than any other starter (Cut, Surf, Strength, Defog, Whirlpool, Rock Smash, Waterfall and Rock Climb, i.e. everything besides Fly) but it also has great coverage with Water STAB, Flash Cannon, Ice Beam and Grass Knot. This makes Empoleon extremely useful both in battles and when navigating through the map. It might very well be the most useful starter in the entire series.

Typhlosion is literally Charizard with less coverage, and is just useful for cheesing Bugsy and Jasmine.
