>>43360339>implying the xy ones are actually badThe starters being RPG classes while still being animalistic/natural was pretty damn clever, even if Quilladin looked the worst out of all of them and the 3D didn't help Delphox.
>Chespin line is based on chestnuts and rodents, as chestnuts get older they start bursting and changing color, incorporates the tank/knight class>Fennekin line is a fox line that eats twigs and as it evolves it starts using a stick as a wand until becoming a wizard, still retains the fox features>Froakie line starts off as a frog that uses bubbles for protection, as it evolves it starts losing the bubbles while also becoming a rogue/ninjaI think it's 7 where it just kind of lost it with Incineroar's design still trying to push it as a humanoid with the limbs not really working out for it and Decidueye's head almost leading it to look like it's just wearing a furry costume headpiece. Primarina is probably the better looking of the bunch but its design just makes it feel like it really wouldn't be a traveler beacause a seal wouldn't be traveling so far on land. Every starter has had a way of traveling on land and then something else until the Popplio line came along and just makes it look like it shouldn't even be on land.
