The red thing will always be popular

The blue and green thing alternate second place. Blue became too mainstream, so green is the hipster choice now. Just wait for it to cycle back to blue.

Squirtle is the most boring of the starters it's a teal bipedal turtle they literally had to give it an accessory in the anime to make it more interesting. The other starters have physical representations of their typing as part of their design squirtle has a...swirly tail?
Wartortle is the worst second stage it looks like an awkward teen trying to be intimidating. The tail looks better but the ears are goofy. All the gen 1 stage 2 starters are a little awkward though imo.
Blastoise is stupid and doesn't have the natural appearance of the other two what with the cannons, and abandons the theme with the ears and tail looking like sea foam.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people don't care for it. "Muh cannons" might have been cool when RB were released but if you want a weaponmon you've got a lot more to choose from now. And it is strange that it's such a departure from Wartortle, and true that it isn't that fun to use because of its unimpressive stats. It's even just a mono-water, it's got the kanto bonus and thus a couple neat new forms but otherwise it doesn't have much going for it.

Masuda said they chose Blue because it's the opposite color to Red in the west, unlike Green being the opposite to Red in Japan.

Bulbasaur is still very popular in Japan at least, even though Japan didn't shill Bulbasaur as much as the west (Detective Pikachu movie shilled Bulbasaur more than TPC ever did since Gen1)
