>>37955681the only 1st stages that are lacking are chespin, chikorita, and treeko. Lots of starters go to shit later, but the vast majority are decent. The starters are the most important pokemon of a generation because gamefreak needs something marketable. if they're this bad already i see no reason to have faith in their evolutions or the rest of the dex.
>>37955685I cant help but form opinions anon, and unless things start looking up before release im not buying. /vp/ always bitches and moans about new pokemon, but they buy it anyway. its time we stop funding games that we dont like.
>>37955697that is a weird ass opinion. gen 7 had arguably some of the best 1st stages in the series (i dont want to talk about the evos). and gen 5's are also incredibly solid but have the same problem as 7. Grookey is the only starter with any redeeming qualities and hes still very bland.
