Quoted By:

same reason most bands best album is the first one. after this, the question was "what new things can we do in this mold on a limited timeframe?" and not "what are the very best grass, fire, water starters we can come up with, taking as long as we need?"

They are pretty good, but people like you are worst of the worst. It would be much better if you didn't exist.

Because of decades of shilling and other starters being actively crapped on to make them look better, leading to NPC’s like this >54070940

Not that retard, but Gen 2 starters were never given the minimum shilling every other starters got because game freak didn’t know how to handle new generations back the and ended up as the abandoned middle children of game freak

they're a massive downgrade compared to gen 1
>Fire starter in gen 1
It's a dragon-like kaiju it's plain but still a kaiju

It's just a badger
>Grass starter in gen 1
Giant monstrous toad with a tree on it's back
>Grass starter in gen 2
It's grass type because it's green get it?
>Water starter in gen 1
Fucking turtle with cannons

nta but Meganium sucks ASS and Typhlosion is boring. and Feraligatr is only good in the remakes, the physical/special split was a boon for it.

Not overly chibified proportions
Non mammals/birds makes them closer to monsters
Sugimori said they went with toad, lizard and turtle because they are little critters rural japanese kids catch and keep as pets
No anthropomorphic "job" gimmicks
The concept of the 3 fire water grass starter pokemon given by the professor as a standard tradition across the world is a bogus needlessly repetitive formula. Back then oak tells you they just happened to be the pokemon he has left in his old age
