>>32960104Johto is my second favorite trio.
Hoenn seems kind of boring to me, but they're not bad by any means. Blaziken is my favorite Fire starter, actually, even.
Sinnoh I dislike though, I used to like Torterra but his design seems... iffy to me nowadays. I've grown to love Empoleon and hare Infernape. Take it as you will.
I like the gen 6 starters because:
1) their base forms are not displeasing and show their elements well, and don't feel like they have elements that are tacked-on.
2) their middle stages have a lot of personality (without feeling like individuals rather than a species) and are vastly different from their first and final stages. Quilladin is iffy, but I like it in a group shot with Chespin and Chesnaught.
3) their final stages have multiple origins that are all fairly clearly demonstrated, and all have dynamic designs that encapsulate the types they have obtained. Additionally, their theme works REALLY well as a group and putting them together, you see the ideas that went into it. Their silhouettes are also very striking.
