>>44597474There's an over-abundance of "personality" in modern Starter pokemon. It becomes fairly prominent in Gen 4 with the Sun Wukong, Regal Emperor, and Earth Turtle inspired designs, but now it's grossly simplified to not be very subtle at all, such as soccer player and archer.
Like I'm fine with it in small doses, but trying to make the starter blatantly extra special is tacky as hell.
