>>36927133Chikorita is one of the rare Pokémon that manages to suck in game. It gets raped by Falkner and Bugsy early on and isn’t that useful late game either. Choosing Chikorita is like choosing Mareep or Geodude as your starter, because that is what you’ll be using most of the time.
Meganium also just isn’t as cute as Chikorita or Bayleef. Its especially lackluster compared to Typhlosion and Feraligatr, who are beloved despite sucking competitively.
