Outside of Chikorita (which actually has higher stats in everything but Speed), is B&W Snivy the most gimped starter in the series? Imagine if you were a stupid kid who only uses their starter for everything:
>Chili: Weak
>Lenora: Neutral
>Burgh: Weak
>Elesa: Weak (Emolgas have Aerial Ace, Zebstrika has Flame Charge)
>Clay: Strong against 2/3, but no advantage against Excadril, which is the actual threat. The other two starters can hit it for super-effective damage.
>Skyla: Weak
>Brycen: Weak
>Drayden: Defensively neutral but useless STAB
>Shauntal: Strong or neutral to 3/4, but weak to Chandelure
>Grimsley: Weak to 3/4 with Bisharp being a major threat
>Caitlin: Weak to Sigilglyph
>Marshal: Weak to Mienshao
>N and Ghetsis are naturally hellish
>Alder: Extremely weak. The only thing that doesn't have a super-effective move is Druddigon, which resists its STAB
