>>40660554>Initially met with harsh backlashThe initial trio was great, but now they're ruined. Not a single good evolution for the starters. At least Gen 5 had Dewott and Serperior. Gen 6's starters final evos are great, too.
>Games release and people have a chance to use the mons and become familiar with themNope. I still absolutely hate Primarina. The only thing that made me warm up to Incineroar is Smash, and that's because of his fun moveset.
>The mons start being introduced in the animeI haven't watched since DPPt. The anime was never good, and it won't change my opinions on the starters
>Towards the end of the generation people absolutely love the monsNo, what happens is everyone with taste is funneled out of the discussion because there's no arguing with GF dicksuckers. Less dissenting opinions means that there's no drowning out the 0.01% of people who actually like the abominations.
