Can someone illustrate "Strong Feminine Cool" via text or image for each gen?
Because I don't think that metric works before gen 5. The first 4 gens of starters are all masculine or animalistic enough to be either

Grass -> Grass/Fire -> Grass/Fire
Starts off as a bush (think Tangela) that turns into a brushfire in stage two and burned wood with still-burning cinders in stage three.

Fire -> Fire/Water -> Fire/Water
Starts off as a piece of charcoal, appears more similar to coral in stage two, full on fire coral in stage three (not actually on fire).

Water -> Water -> Water/Grass
Leech in stage 1, leech in stage 2, leech with moss growing on its back in stage 3. It's not actually a parasitic leech, but rather an assistant to symbiotic relationships on land and water.

Fire/Fairy
Water/Dragon
Grass/Steel
Gen 6 had the Fighting/Psychic/Dark core with its starters. Now we have the Fairy/Steel/Dragon core of the current competitive metagame.

Water/Ice
Fire/Rock
Grass/Bug
The starter typings paired with a bad secondary typing, in order to help encourage the player to use their starter as a starter Pokemon in the truest sense of the term: A Pokemon they can rely on as a crutch during the early game but one they'll want to replace later on.

water/ice is far better than the other two. Even fire/rock could be usable if they gave it decent speed (which you know they wouldn't). But grass/bug is straight-up horrible in every sense of the word.

Scpetile and Blaziken are both cool, and Swampert's easily the strong one of the bunch.
Torterra is strong, Infernape is cool, and Empoleon is somewhere in between.
Emboar is easily the strong one. Serperior is between feminine and cool and Samurott is between strong and cool.
Venusaur and Blastoise are both kind of different flavors of strong. I'd actually say that Venusaur is the only one that goes for being both strong AND feminine.

I bet one of them will be a quadruped when fully evolved. Probably the fire starter.

The grass starter might be a mammal, as there is only one at the moment.

There should be at least one reptile because the last two generations didn't have any. Greninja is an amphibian.

Venusaur is also a derpy looking monster, it's not feminine at all.

>Torchic/Combusken
Not Blaziken first of all. Second, practically all early evos are "cute" default, which isn't necessarily feminine and at the very least isn't more feminine than other early evos.
>used by May
irrelevant see >>37230778

There's nothing feminine about it. It looks like it's wearing a tuxedo or military uniform (ever hear of the French Emperor Napoleon??).

This. Miss the more animalistic starter designs. Doesn't mean they can't be humanoid, as Blaziken works, but it does feel like the starters are becoming more "human" with the over-reliance on anthropomorphic themes

I think gamefreak breaks from tradition. Highly doubt it's gonna be anything like mainline pokemon games where you just go around collecting badges. Much more likely there's an actual story like the gamecube games (done better and more in depth hopefully, but we know gamefreak).

I see any one of the following things happening: new FWG starters, old starters (from gen 1 & possibly pikachu), or they just give you pokemon like the gamecube games.

Honestly id prefer anything but KANTOOOOO

That’s because the pattern didn’t come until XY.

E3 2013 Masuda said something along the lines of he wanted to make sure the starters of future generations had a “worldwide appeal”. And how he wanted young girls to also be able to pick up a Pokémon game and play with the boys. So that’s why we have 1 feminine looking starter now

Gen 6 was fire
Gen 7 was water
Gen 8 will be grass
