Have you noticed that starters have gotten worse from Gen 5 ever since we get two mammal starters per gen

But they've only gotten better since Gen 5
Gen 5 was the low point.

The real big brain is realizing almost all starters are bad. Looking at that image, I only see a small handful of well designed mons, and most of those get ruined by their evos. Granted, a couple manage to get better like Charmander, but starters have always been shit.

This. Starters aren't anything special besides having more autistic fanbase wars. The "your trusty long time partner" aspect is ruined since most just want the good looking/most efficient one

This, kind of. Starters are great for first runs and new players, but lately I barely use them. They are nice, but a bit boring, like vanilla ice cream. Nothing wrong with it, it's always good, but every now and then you want something with panache

Yes, she is. Chicorita is the best feminine starter, if you ask me. Maybe on same spot with Braixen, but I don't 100% sure about it

Brionne, Primarina and Delphox are awful in comparison.

Gen 7 starters are an absolute abomination. At least Gen 5 had a grass snake and a water samurai. What the bloody fuck does Gen 7 have? An edge lord, a caricature wrestler, and a prima donna.

Been playing since I was seven with the first gen, after years and dissociating my nostalgia from design taste I’d say gen 2 has the worst starters (if we’re including the latter evolutions)
Not that they’re awful. The new trio is probably the worst of all the first evo starters though.

Gen 5 is below average but I honestly have no problems with Samurott unlike most people. It's mainly the Tepig line and Oshawott's shit colour scheme that don't appeal to me at all.
I would say Gen 6 had one of the most appealing starter trios at the time they were revealed, but Chesnaught and Delphox are disappointingly dogshit. Those designs alone make me feel it's the worst. Gen 7 is tied with Gen 5.
For some reason I'm a lot more optimistic about Gen 8. Even the design I'm not really feeling, Sobble, has a ton of personality.
