Why aren't I as in love with these starters as I was with Gen IV, VI, and VII's starters?

Can't explain this well, but its just like their designs scream plain and forgettable.

I kinda feel the same way

I've been thinking about it and I think it's because they're not quite as individually distinct as they could be. Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio, for example, are much more different from each other

Maybe it's the bobbleheadedness

Now just look at these magnificent bastards.

They didn't need some shitty Chinese CGI to have personalities. A motherfucking turtle, a cute blue penguin(everyone fucking loves penguins), and a mischievous looking monkey with fire coming out of its butt. Gen IV absolutely nailed their starter trio designs, fucking 11/10, final evos were simply icing on the cake.

they don't have any real depth or real theme that other starters do. Yeah, Grookey has a stick and technically a music/rhythm/whatever "concept". Scorbunny has athletic tape. Sobble... can turn invisible? is a pussy?

it's just not compelling. And that's not to mention that visibly Scorbunny and Sobble are poorly designed. Like, look at their limbs. Just sticks. Sobble doesn't even have visible detail on its limbs, they're just blue lines that split.

they're such vapid starters. Grookey is the least bad, but if it were in any other trio of starters, it would be a really weak choice too.

and one more thing: their presentation in the trailer made them look like literally plastic toys, which certainly doesn't help first impressions.

He's too green. And why does he have a beak?

Now look at these based niggas right here. You see that? Yep, that's a fucking frog, even resembles Benjamin Motherfucking Franklin. A clean fluffy fox, makes for a fashionable shouldermon, plus bitches love foxes. Lastly we have green Sonic who's evolutions outshie it desu, but he's still ok..

As contrarian as it might sound, the gen 6 starters were my favorite overall. I only dislike Quilladin and the rest are really unique and interesting without being ugly (at least in my opinion.)

definitely strongest trio imo

Nope, they're bottom of the barrel along with gen V's and gen VII's. At least with gen VII, if you chose Popplio, you got a cute waifumon at level 16.

Because the immediate reaction here, and probably most of what you've internalized, is rampant shitposting. Not to mention the fearmongering over waifumonkey and fightingrabbit.
