Holy shit. I've never seen so little love/adoration for starters after their release. Nobody cares for these overdesigned piles of trash. Even fat round owl got a lot of attention.

Pre-evos don't matter and after Gen VII no one is willing to commit to a favorite because we can't even pretend to imagine what they'll turn into anymore.

That's because, in a shocking reversal, you and everyone here are fucking way too old for this shit.

I have two nephews, eight and six. They literally cannot stop obsessing over the rabbit and monkey, respectively.

Basically >>38453538
I'm getting real sick of every starter evolving into something with a human profession.

It already feels like Grookey and Scorbunny are gonna get wrapped up in their drummer and soccer themes, so that just leaves Sobble to not turn into Ezio from assassin's creed for there to be any hope for this lot.

But actually, I'm excited for the music/groove related aspect of Grookey, and I'm not the only one that's shared that sentiment.

Don't take /vp/ pessimism as the only stance on the starters.

It's cool, they look a bit uninspired and I believe that is the process; final forms and work backwards, it must be stressful working that way, then having to make them basic enough not to spoil the final forms. I can see why they are uninspired.

These are throwaway forms, so I don't mind much, the final evos I am sure had some thought to their designs.

I love Sobble but Gens 6 and 7 have made me incredibly sceptical about its final form - both Rowlet and Fennekin hugely disappointed me compared to how much I liked them in themselves. So at least personally I'm not willing to invest any specal consideration or attention in Sobble until I've seen its other forms; I'll avert disappointment this way I hope.

>everyone excited over owl bc it's the first flying type 1st stage starter
>everyone hype because Litten looks like it'll become a Dark type (it does, but at the cost of looking like an ugly fighting type)
>Popplio getting memed on as the "ugly" starter when Popplio fans believed it would end up becoming something good (Brionne and Primarina are pretty)

Is it really difficult to see why the dynamics of these three suck so hard compared to Gen 7?

Scorbunny interests me the most right now. we've never had a rabbit starter while monkeys and lizards have been done before, never a bunny starter.

i just pray it evolves into something cool or interesting or has a cool type combo.

What this fella said, I really love Scorbunny as he is now, but I really loved Chespin when he was revealed, and I really loved Rowlet when he was revealed, but my opinion completely changed once their final evos came out.
Don't get me wrong, I think Chesnaught and Decidueye are pretty alright, I just like other starters final evos more, so I'm not really gonna commit myself to hard to just one starter yet, will probably wait until mid evos to really get excited.

I hope it is either:
>Fire/Fairy as it would fit the trend*
>Fire/Fighting (not high hopes) trend*
>Fire/Normal
>Fire/Electric

*Trend as in since Kalos the current starters have typings that are super effective against the previous:

Emboar<Delphox<Incineroar<Scorbunny
Greninja<Premarina<Sobble
Chesnaught<Decleceye<Grookey

My guess is:
>Fire/Fairy (second choice Fighting)
>Grass/Dark
>Water/Poison (second choice Steel)

The Fire/Electric is nice, but seems like it will be Legendary typing, only Rotom can have that combo (Electric/Fire) at the moment.

I think GF may continue with the trend, either stronger or weaker to the Alolan Starters.

This is the first time that not a single starter appeals to me. Every gen, there was at least one Pokemon that I thought looked cool/cute enough to pick just from its first art. I feel nothing towards these creatures.

That's not how it works. They make the first form first, then have somebody different design the final form with a twist. They've talked about the process.
