>>53032961>Gen 1Charizard is still the most popular Kanto starter because it's easier to draw, Torterra and Gatr are recognized by GF.
>Gen 2Blaziken easily wins here, but now Game Freak hates it because it can reach Charizard's popularity.
>Gen 3Braixen/Delphox is Gardevoir's rival and the most popular starter. People complain that Venusaur is too similar to Torterra.
>Gen 4Rowlet is still the most popular starter, but Decidueye is not as popular because now it has decent competition. Lucario is not as popular as it used to be, since Braixen and Delphox were created first.
>Gen 5People complain about a monotyped trio, Typhlosion is not that popular because it's a gen 5 starter now. Inteleon still gets carried by fujos, also the shitty Inteleon x Cinderace pairing is gone.
>Gen 6Sceptile vs. Greninja starter wars are common, but Greninja still wins and Sceptilefags get angry because of all the Greninja shilling.
>Gen 7Easy win for Primarina, despite the controversies.
>Gen 8Waifufags try to find a reason to make Empoleon a waifu. Incineroar gets a Protean clone for no reason other than being Game Freak's favorite.
>Gen 9Meowscarada x Cinderace starter wars (and pairing) are common. Quaquaval is easily the most unpopular one. Florian won just like Brendan.
