>>30915165I think they all are neat, though Emboar was the one I got the most disappointed with during Gen 5 design-wise.
Others might be more acceptable due to nostalgia that occurs at times lol.
Game Freak could of done things really different with most of the starters, hence some of the Megas did things their base formes wish they already were to begin with Gen 1 and 3 starters). Serperior wish it was Grass/Dragon or at the very least just Grass/Poison cus is a snake and snakes are venomous etc.
Lots of things to nitpick, but I still think most of the starters are solid.
Only starters that ever disappointed me regarding stats were Decidueye, Incineroar, Emboar and Serperior, the first pair being slow, while the latter where (Emboar) just massive HP and attack with wasted sp atk when its defenses should of been covered better. Serperior got just 75 base atk and sp atk... the same as Bellsprout and Oddish.
