>>59047182Whats the logic behind pretending to not understand that handing the player a starter that has a mega stone, which automatically means it will be stronger than your regular starter incentivizes you to keep it? Setting this aside, the Kanto starter is one of the 5 pokemon its possible to mega evolve before the post-game, the others being Ampharos, Lucario,Aerodactyl and Abomasnow, further limiting your team composition.
If you want to interact with the generational gimmick but also not use a gift pokemon, your options are incredibly limited.
