I liked themed starters like these 3. I know that alot of pokemon follow themes. What I don't like is how with a few exceptions, were getting more clunky/disparate looking pokemon.

Mythology. Torterra was the world turtle, Infernape was Sun Wukong/Hanuman, and Empoleon was Poseidon.

this gen has a theme too though, they're all various kinds of stage performers
skeledirge despite its looks is the singing pokemon
meowscarada is a stage magician
quaqaval is one of those dancers with the peacock skirts

Yeah I get that but the execution here feels really clunky.I'd say the 6th gen (and even 7th gen) starters also did a better job in terms of execution.

eh, they all feel appropriate for pokespain
only skeledirge really falls flat in getting across the "singer" thing
but the ghost typing and skull mask are nice

I didn't think SwSh had much of a theme at all
You have a soccer player, a spy, and a drummer

Sinnoh: Mythology
Unova: Empires
Kalos: RPG classes
Alola: ???
Galar: Entertainment
Hisui: Feudal Japan
Paldea: Festival

What was Alola's theme again?
>>52242390
SwSh obviously seems like Entertainment. Music, Sports, and Theater

British Entertainment. All of that stuff originated in England/Europe

Alola is weird, you'd almost think it was also Entertainment with an opera singer and a pro wrestler
but then there's just an owl

An owl which is an archer . Like wrestling and singing, archery is a discipline.

Correct. In that regard I´m also with OP, starters need more variety in future gens.

Although Alola is entertainers, to me I always felt there was also an underlying theme of “brains brawn and beauty” desu

Skelledirge honestly needs an updated character model/textures that doesn't make it look like a blocky clown.
Otherwise it's decent.
Grass cat is also decent once you get over the obvious pandering to Chinese furries.
