This solves it. This is the DEFINITIVE list. I've done countless hours of research into this and personally had contact with Masuda and Sugimori, so don't bother arguing.

Charizard, Venusaur, Typhlosion, and Meganium are the only good starters.
Blaziken Empoleon, and Decidueye are the biggest piles of lazy uncreative dogshit to ever disgrace this franchise.
