I like the Unova starters and everything but I gotta admit they ended up in a pretty unfortunate situation.
Serperior is outclassed by every other grass type in game (Lilligant, Whimsicott, Sawsbuck) except for maybe maraca cactus and the shit monkey
Emboar is outclassed by Darmanitan, and basically every other Unova fighting type
the only one that's even worth using in game is Samurott just because Unova was one of the worst selection of water types ever. Also Mega Horn aint bad for fucking Ghetsis' day up, when Emboar and Serperior are almost guaranteed OHKO by his Hydreigon
I know GF made the gen 5 starters lackluster to encourage you to go catch other mons, which isn't a bad idea really, but they definitely had the potential to be WAY better.
case in point
>>31076720Emboar is still probably my fav fire starter though.
