This is the only starter that is shit. Its only popular because 10 year olds love ninjas.

Every other starter looks great, this is the only shitty one.

Not even hating on Ninjas I legitimately think this thing is poory designed, a poor depiction of a shinobi, and pandered way to fucking much, even more than Charizard. The anime was one of the most abysmal pieces of shit I've seen because of this thing and it all culminated when it lost to a fucking fire type.
