I don't really mind desu. Starmie is still reliable in competitive, really good and fun ingame.
Its dual typing, movepool and design still make it feel unique to me.
It's one of the few pokemon that I wouldn't be bored to see in every games.
It's perfect this way.

Out of my five favorite Kanto lines, only one's gotten anything, and after getting a crossgen in Gen 4, they forgot it again.

More like victim of Defog. Let's face it, it hasn't been good without Rapid Spin since Gen 1. You can lie and tell yourself that Life Orb Analytic is worthwhile too, but I know you like relying on Hydro Pump as much as everyone else (not at all).

At least my favorite Kantomon, Magneton, got an evo. I wish it would've been a clusterfuck of like nine Magnemites swarming around, though.

starmie gets that subtle kind of love from GF without being shilled to death.
Wouldn't want to see any other additions to it other than some fun new moves.

Though Cosmic Power + Scald + Recover is really fun too, it gets a little stale, same for specks/LO sets, but it has so many uses you can't really complain.

When I was a kid, my parents got me a GameShark so that I could get all the Pokemon (I didn't have any friends to trade with, or any way to get Mew), but I'd use it to start the game with Pokemon I liked instead of the starters. Bellsprout was one of my most common starters.

>Gen 1: Its mid-stage was pushed as a potential (failed) mascot.
>Gen 2: Its mid-stage got an alternate evolution. It was the ace of a Gym Leader, but not available to the player without linking with a previous game until Crystal version, further cementing Politoed's popularity over it.
>Gen 3: Didn't make it into Hoenn, and FRLG did nothing to help it.
>Gen 4: Nothing of note for our amphibian friend.

In Gen 4 it was an amazing pokemon even if you ditched spin for Recover. A meme build I used was to go Gravity and use Hydro Pump, Thunder and Blizzard.

It's a natural progression.
Poliwhirl is scrawny and short, Poliwrath is taller and bulkier.
Poliwhirl's eyes rest atop its body, Poliwrath has grown to encompass its eyes.
Poliwhirl has mittens, Poliwrath has gloves.
Poliwhirl's chest spiral is in a circle, Poliwrath's chest circle resembles the tongue in a screaming mouth.

The anime confused me since Misty's Starmie was weak as shit and Staryu was her ace. So I thought the evolution went Starmie -> Staryu. Why the heck did they do that?

Honestly Politoed felt like a Poliwhirl evo do-over as opposed to Slowking which fit the king's rock motif a bit more.
Politoed was like Gamefreak saying "look, we can actually give the Poliwag line proper payoff, ignore that other evo"

What kind of love are you thinking of? :^)
Because i would never want to see it a Gigantamax, Mega or standard evolution DESU. The only thing that would get me to accept it getting an evolution is Eviolite, personally.

A change in Abilities or a bigger selection of the "space moves" would be grand tho.
