Fact: These are the most soulful base form starters in the entire series. They have the most personality out of anything Gamefreak has come up with.
All other starters might as well be card board cut outs in comparison.

You seem to lack a basic understanding of the difference between objectivity and subjectivity, OP.

They are good. Probably the second best pack of the series, after the first gen. But its hard to tell before we can see their evolutions. The starters of last gen were fine before we see the aberrations that they would become.

"Soulful" is extremely nebulous and nondescript. It can literally mean anything to anyone. I'm sure these designs are soulful to someone somewhere.

That's true, but not necessarily a good thing. It is due to pokémon now being drawn more with the idea of a character in mind instead of a species.
This give them more personality, but also limits what they can be (a Bulbasaur can have any sort of personality one thinks of, Sobble is set to be always the same thing).

Their heads are just ellipsoids with basic looking features slapped onto them.
Awful design.

The problem is they're designing them like baby pokemon, instead of 1st stage evolutions. It's like they designed the 2nd/3rd form first and made baby versions.
The gen 7 starters had the same problems.

This is a fact.
Bulbasaur is just a frog monster with a bulb, Charmander just a lizard on fire, Squirtle just a turtle.
Chikorita just a leaf headed sauropod, Cyndaquil does ignite itself but for no real reason, Totodile just a croc.
Treecko just a lizard, Torchic just a chick, Mudkip just an axolotl
Turtwig just a tortoise, Chimchar just a monkey with a fire butt when awake, Piplup just a penguin chick
Snivy just a snake with limbs, Tepig just a pig, Oshawott just an otter whose scalchop came from Dewott in development
Chespin just a pointy hedgehog, Fennekin just a fox, Froakie just a foamy frog
Rowlet just an owl, Litten literally just a cat, Popplio being a clown seal
Grookey is a music making monkey, Scorbunny is a hyperactive bunny, Sobble is a shy and timid lizard with tear marks

Out of all the starters, I'd say, aside from anime depictions, Chimchar, Froakie, Popplio, Grookey, and Sobble have the most personality and background
