Why have the starters been so bad after gen 4? Were the Sinnoh starters just too good?

I really like Gen 4 starters. Gen 1 and Gen 4 are good too. Gen 2 and 6 are alright. But that Gen 5...

Yeah I don't know, those were the last good starters we got. 5 gen were awful, gen 6 seemed promising until we got the terrible final evolutions. Not hopeful about gen 7 at all.

No Grass starter even compares to Torterra

Fire peaked with Charizard
Water peaked with Feraligatr

Infernape a shit.
Emboar forever a shit.
Fire/Fighting should not have happened three times - let alone in a row.

Blaziken, Torterra, Empoleon are the only good final evolutions past gen 2.. and Empoleon tentatively

Empoleon = Emporer Penquin + Napoleon
Also has a trident on its head referencing Poseidon, so it can be based on regality and leadership in general.

I assume you're talking about competitive viability. If so, I'll have to disgree with Infernape and Empoleon. Both are very descent at battles, I don't know about Torterra since it has great tanky stats but GF shat on that by giving it a god awful, worthless HA. It really turned me off

Implying that gen 2 starters were cool. :/

This is the correct order:
1. Gen I
2. Gen VI
3. Gen III
4. Gen II
5. Gen V
6. Gen IV

Gen 1-4 was like climbing up a mountain. Gen 5 was moving on to a different but uniquely intersting mountain and Gen 6 and 7 is another you climb when your passion for mountain climbing starts waning.

honestly how ive seen it, 5 is going down the top of the first mountain but climbing to a seperate peak, 6 is going down the mountain and finding it tedious, 7 is {} perhaps a beach, where everyone gets angry at you, while you wonder where the mountain went, only to realize the mountain was an illusion

I disagree with your last line. Torterra, Sceptile and Swampert are the only good post-2nd gen final evolutions. I guess Greninja's alright too.

What were they thinking with making Emboar fire/fighting though, how could they think that was a good idea.

Ok ok you guys are forgetting the main reason why the Gen 4 starters are bad, and that is because they have the WORST FUCKING FANBASE out of ANY GEN. This is because they mostly consist of butthurt 14 year olds who's first game was DPP and therefore those games have had the same effect on
them as Gen 1 has to Genwunners. This means they totally disregard any evidence that suggests newer gens might be better than Gen 4. An example would be that they ignore the fact that Greninja is leagues better than Empoleon, whether they like it or not.
