>tfw 2nd gen starters are my favorite

Being 2nd gen is suffering.

Literally every fucking starter, fuck.

Gen 2 starters are great. Cyndaquil is tied as my pokemon, love the little guy. Totadile and chikorita are nice too.

I rarely fully evolve starters. Charmeleon, Wartortle, Ivysaur, Bayleef, Quilava, Croconaw, they're all super cool. They're just cool versions of the 1st stages without going too far. Blastoise doesn't have a cool tail, Meganium is missing the forehead leaf, Typhlosion is fat

I love the 2nd stages too, but it triggers my autism to not have a fully evolved team.

It used to bother me a lot too, I did it for every generation I played until a couple years ago when I played a hack with all of them available. I'd catch two of one I didn't like the fully evolved, evolve one all the way and box it but actually use the 2nd stage one.

can anyone seriously name one (aesthetically, stylistically, conceptually) good starter from the last 3 generations?

and I don't say this as some casual who stopped playing after gen 3. I play all games and have a living pokedex in HG and in W2

they just seem to be all shit. in gen 1-3 I wouldn't leave my starter out of my team, but in 4-6 I'm tempted to

>using weaker pokemon because you don't like how their evolutions look
I'm not sure if this is autism or just being teenage girl level casual.

if you only care about their fighting capabilities you may as well just be fighting with numbers. A balance between the two is better

And in single player, you don't need to care much about viability.

If there was a pokemon that was just a giant number that happened to be the strongest one I would use it.

Torterra is the only one fully evolved that appealed to me after gen3, but some of the base and 2nd forms are great.

In terms of the three things you defined; Delphox fits them [Gets more and more mage-y as the line progresses; turns into a wizard].

Chestnaught is pretty good too but it's middle stage is literal what.

second forms don't really count. torterra may be the best of all them

it's sad when a pokemon with a decent preevolution turns shit when it evolves

They are my favourite starters as well, and then gen 4.
I'm hoping both sets get attention this gen like 1 and 3 did.
But especially the Johto starters.

It's a shame, but on the other hand it's a cool kind of incongruity that gives Croconaw an appeal that most second forms don't have. Charmeleon for instance is red and has the weird head knob, which doesn't fit with either Charmander or Charizard but also looks dumb. If more second forms had that kind of neat design then maybe they'd stop being seen as the awkward puberty of starter types.

Isn't it weird that Typhlosion is actually big? I always thought he was still a little weasel thingy. But he's as big as a Charizard.

Feraligatr is 7'07".
If you want to discount Serperior due to how snakes are measured, he is the largest of the starters.
