I liked the design of Delphox since its official art came out (cause good lord is its 3D model bad). It has really good fanart and porn obvs, but I really wish they had bothered to give it a moveset that wasn't just STAB. Instead, they gave all the attention to Greninja, since they decided it would be the dedicated shillmon of the region.

Even if GameFreak is bad at balancing, you can't even deny how blatantly obvious it is that the frog is better than the other 2 starters. They have to make the stats, moves, and abilities themselves, do you /really/ think they had no clue how good it was?

And none of that shit mattered when Sakurai picked it for Smash and the anime team had Ash catch Greninja and subsequently had GameFreak make it a special form. GameFreak just didn't bother making all three starters as good in regards to gameplay. Claiming Greninja is good ingame because of its shilling is retarded because Greninja only got into Smash and an anime form because it looked cool.

You could argue they got better treatment, since they dominated GF's official format.

Greninja getting into Smash and being Ash's starter isn't favoritism at all. It was simply preferred over the other Pokemon because it had a good design that would appeal to a lot of people. Trying to link that to its ingame viability is fucking retarded since GF has a track record of making random Pokemon ridiculously strong. You're giving GF too much credit.

People used to discuss swampert getting "damp" as its perfect ability in gen 3-4 since it was extremely common to explode against it. The massive cut in power to selfdestruct and explosion unfortunately massively cut down their use so pert got its perfect ability right at the same time that it stopped being useful. Speed boost blaziken is obviously still way better but people always talk about damp like its useless but there was a time when it wasn't.

It depends. Their favorites usually get good shit in later gens. But Greninja being strong just seems like a case of GF making a strong ability and forgetting that the Pokemon who is getting this ability can easily abuse it.

GF doesn't play favorites out the gate because they have no idea which designs will take off in popularity. Test audiences can give them a clue, but it's not foolproof as we saw with Zorua/Zoroark.
If what you imply is true, there would be a shillmon every gen, and there isn't.
Gens II and V don't have a single shill.
Blastoise and Sceptile got less than their other starters, but still had some attention.
Incineroar, Primarina and Decidueye all have positives. People forget that Decidueye has the lethal access to both Nasty Plot and Swords Dance and a STAB trapping move (unlike Dhelmise).

Greninja would have been great by virtue of ~540 BST, 122 Spe and Water typing. No matter how that BST is arranged, with the 122 Spe it was going to be good even with a Serperior-like shit movepool. Creating a fast water starter isn't favoritism.

I've always liked Delphox tho, regardless of what shitposters say. My favorite Kalos starter and Fire starter in general. I guess I like it so much because it's the only Fire starter in the series that doesn't try to appeal to 10-year-old boys by being "badass". The witch theme and Psychic-subtype are also really nice. Haters gonna hate I guess.

Delphox is a breath of fresh air in terms of fire starter designs, because it’s a creature that’s meant to be cunning, full of mystery and mischief, and not some animal that goes ‘hurrr durrr me angry gotta smash some walls.’
I’m glad we got a wizard and not a fox hulk.
