Honestly most starter evolutions have been terrible throughout. But gen 7 followed a trend game freak has been following of making "character pokemon" which have distinct personalities as if they were just solo characters instead of a species. I dislike that trend but I guess someone at GF thinks its a good idea.
I feel personally like if you were some young kid and you got excited by popplio, because popplio's design is pretty good, you could easily be disappointed by getting primarina in the end, just because of how strong primarina's character is. Like if you didn't want an obviously feminine mermaid pokemon, and you didn't know what you were getting into, I think thats badly designed.
The high point of all starters was probably gen 3, and gen 4 was honestly pretty serviceable. I hated delphox but otherwise gen 6 was okay, despite my over exposure to greninja, and I know other people liked delphox. The rest are all pretty bad imo.

Heres the problem
You see, i like delphox
I really do, the whole fire witch thing, and the origin of the name. i think its great
but then ne day i realized something
if i took off the head of a delphox
it would be basically a human
just a human
human hands, human arms, human feet, human torso, all covered in fur
it wasnt even humanoid, shit, rhydon and scizor are humanoid dephox is not humanoid its fucking human-like
the starters will be good when they sop beign human-like
sides 7 gens and not a single tiger pokemon

When they stop having marketing executives design the starter evolutions.

>we need one to appeal to the older players, make it dark and cool
>we need one to appeal to little boys, make it muscular with cartoony proportion
>we need one to appeal to little girls, make it pretty and look like it has clothes on

Remember how when the first games were coming to America marketing drones told them cute Pokémon wouldn't appeal to boys and they needed ones that looked scarier and more muscular? And then Yamauchi absolutely blew them the fuck out?

We need Tajiri to take more control of his franchise from Masuda and the mindless marketing executives at TPC.

Snake is our last hope for a good fire type starter.
If they don't go fully retarded and give it legs (they've done worse before), it'll be better than all the gen 5, 6, and 7 starters combined.

Nothing will be better than Greninja though. The other starters are mediocre, however. You're right about that.

>final form in Fire/Poison
>it's not just a cobra, it's a gorgon
>veil closes around head like a hoodie
>dead skin around the upper body give it the impressions of a jacket ala Scraggy and Scrafty, the six heads come out the sides like it has six arms
>the heads each have a color, those being yellow, orange, purple, green, blue, indigo; each can shoot ink like a spray painter
>has shields around the eyes ala Flygon and skin "cloth" covering its mouth, giving the appearance of a makeshift mask
>the tail ends in a paint brush with different layers of color
>has Protean as HA, or Dry Skin
>learns Sketch
Would you be happy?

It's okay, anon, I get it, you got frustrated that the 7th gen final evolution starters got revealed instead of these and now you're trying to bring them into relevance again.

No, I get it, I was even a fan of these (more of Pinnister than the rest), but seriously, it's time to let it go, these will never happen. Maybe in a alternative universe, but definitely not in this one.

Some things should simply be left alone in order to not cause any more havoc or controversy around here and that includes these guys.

If by some insane miracle this shit were ever to happen, I'd be more than happy to have my Pinnister and take it, but it didn't and it never will

we already had one. It was better than the rest of the gen 5, 6, and 7 starters, but that was by virtue of being good enough rather than great

I agree with the first half of your post. Starters are almost becoming cartoon characters and GF wants to make relatable personalities before they make monsters.
