Boxing starters? How often do you do it and do you feel bad?

If I've used all the ones I want to or there's six Pokemon I want to use more than the starters then I'll box. No real feelings about it.

I replaced the water starter in Shield with Gyarados and then it turned out that Gyarados is stupidly good in this game.

Never, they're usually helpful to sweep the game. After the league I breed a good one and release the original though.

the games are easy enough that you can get by having even chikorita or snivy as a starter

I did it once in Black 2 because as much as I love Unova, its starters are kind of lame
I still got a Fire-Water-Grass trio though, so my starter replacement in Black 2 was Darmanitan

No regrets

I've never done it. I came close during Gen 2 when I did another playthrough and picked Chikorita, though.

Always. It's a freebie you use to catch your first real Pokemon and nothing more. They always have samey moves until the endgame and the same ability, too.

Boxing Meganium is a good idea because it does fucking nothing. It's bad against the most gyms and it just sucks in battle.

I've never boxed my starters until 6th gen, where you kind of have two, so I can switch between and always have a starter with me. The exp. share meant that they both got absurdly overleveled after a point though so now I just have an 'elite guard' of favorites that can all take the role. Otherwise, the starters never leave my side.

Never, we're friends for life. Your journey wouldn't have been possible without them. I didn't use Chikorita as much as I caught more pokemon but I still never put her in the box.

All with STAB once we get HAs.

>Court change (yet to be seen how good it is, but it's unique)
>bulk up/agility (It's not looking like a setup sweeper but it's noteworthy)
Support/not attack options of note.

It's got the almost the exact movepool it needs, best it could have asked for is something like Play Rough.

Only in gen V.
However if in some alternate reality where I ever put a fucking gen VII cart in my DS or God forbid bought a Switch for SWSHAT, I would box those starters too.
Compared to those latter two gens Unova starters are fucking based though.

I've never boxed a starter for the main game. But there's at least one every gen I like enough that I'd use it as soon as I could anyway.

Box em as soon as the main story is over and I need room to start hatching eggs.

Did it for the first time with a Black playthrough although more so because I was catching and training up every Pokemon so once it evolved I had to ditch it to make space for other new Pokemon. I have considered doing an XY or SM run with a boxed starter since I find it a lot easier to justify it in those games since the variety of Grass/Fire/Water Pokemon allows for easy replacements.

Gyarados has always been good, ever since Gen IV it's basically become a guaranteed win because the Physical-Special Split gave it incredible Ice Fang and Waterfall/Aqua Tail

I do it every run for every game, I’m not a huge fan of any starter and it makes me feel super basic to do because most people use starters on their team. Same with legendaries, though Regirock is a bro

I'm autistic about hating when certain Pokemon are elevated as something more special over others so I never use Starters or Legendaries. Stopped at Gen V so it was easy because they were all shit while nearly all regular mons in Gen V were great

I rotate my party all the time because I'm catching everything so my starter gets boxed and brought back out often.
