Why are the Unova starter evolutions so frustratingly bad?

Samurott
> Ugly quadruped final for.
> Pure water typing
> Mixed attacking stats with higher sp. attack despite being a samurai depicted in primarily melee combat.
> Biggest let down of the gen coming off of Dewott's promising design.

Emboar
> Gets the privilege of being the third Fire/Fighting starter in a row.
> Significantly less useful than Blaziken and Infernape
> Pretty cool design goes to waste.

Serperior
> Stats pretty useless for competitive and in game.
> Only useful thanks to the blessing of a hidden ability that could make any pokemon better.
> Pure grass typing.
> Pretty cool design once again wasted.

Only generation where I ended up boxing my starter from the first run.
