Why does GameFreak even bother letting us pick from one of three starters if two of them are just going to get ignored and get fuck all while one of them is pampered with blatant favoritism and has use even in a competitive environment?
At least LGPE tried to make Pikachu and Eevee equals by having them be equally overpowered, but I doubt the same can be said for Gen 8's Starters when they try to pull yet another Greninja/Incineroar.
