How is this the "most balanced" set of starters again?

Why would anyone not pick the chimp, especially in a region that hates fire types

Empoleon gets Aqua jet and sword dance.
Also Drillpeck.
Water/Steel is also great defensive typing

Performance in battle doesn’t matter when you have the best starter designs in the series.

>Imagine sharing the same opinion as this comic
Gen 2 is the only one with a clear favorite, but gen 3 has probably the best trio in terms of being equally liked

I feel like the people who rate Staraptor are the ones who didn't take Infernape, too. He just trivialises so much of the game, it isn't even funny. Even if he were a Fire monotype he'd be busted but you get Fighting coverage for the five billion Geodudes and Onixes on top of that. Good luck dealing with Bronzors if you picked one of the other two.

Is the typing even that much better than pure water? 11 resists is nice on paper but a lot of those are shitty types anyway, while it gains weaknesses to two of the most common attacking types and loses resistance to a third

An unironic genwunner made this, thus the opinion presented in the image is immediately discarded

Nah Staraptor is still good even just for ground immunity + Intimidate. Staraptor Luxray synergy disarms any physical attacker with a ground type move and they hand it to you on route 2. And then of course it has good moves and can sweep in its own right

Blaziken is ugly but I guess Fire/Fighting starter was unique at the time and Swampert was Quagsire on steroids(great type combo put to good use)

Hate it, Empoleon as an attacker with swords dance would have been amazing, he feels like he was designed for it but the idiots a chinkFreak wanted a wukong like every other company that bows to china.

What the fuck does this mean? He learns water and steel type moves right? So then he actually does something with his type

Contrary Serperior is really fun. Infernape gets Iron Fist, as if it needs it. Charizard's Solar Power is basically the only way to make him useful.

I'd say at least one starter from each gen got something of worth.

>Greninja and surprisingly Chesnaught
>Incineroar
>Rillaboom and Cinderace
