>>37080854I don't particularly care about any of the XY starters (though Braixen is cute in a non-furry way), but I care about "symmetry" between starters in general.
I don't think it's fair for the kids to might prefer Delphox or Chesnaught if GF themselves basically say that they chose wrong.
Sure, there's always one starter who's objectively better than the others in battle, or that gets more merch due to popularity, but kids don't really care that much about that. They do care, however, about new and cool forms/moves, and I don't think it's a good thing to favor one starter over the other in that aspect.
