Do you want GF to go into every new game expecting people to hate all of the new designs? Because that's kind of a defeatist attitude to have.
At that point they might as well just hand the player a Kanto starter as if to say "Look, dude. We know the new mons are shit. Just replace your new starter with an old one."
