Has any other starter trio come close? 01/26/26(Mon)00:36:17 No.58870100 I'm not a genwunner or anything, but goddamn. It just feels like every starter trio's been downhill after them, just failed attempts to catch the same lightning in a bottle. No other gen has been able to capture starter pokemon as well as they did.

The sinnoh and hoenn trio are comparable. All three of each region have strong designs.

I think I like Chikorita line just a little bit more than the Bulbasaur line, or at the very least Meganium > Venusaur. I like Gen 2 starters in general. They get worse as time goes on though. Delphox I like though.
Really as far as starters go, in most cases, the middle evo is the best.

objectively incorrect. Sinnoh is at best top 3.
Sinnoh might mog Kanto, Johto, Unova (which region doesnt?), Alola, Galar, Hisui, Paldea and nu-Kalos, but it cannot mog Hoenn or old Kalos.

Sorry, but gen 7 doesnt even have 1 flawless entry, the seal is the best one, but gets ruined by the gender ratio clashing with the mostly female design.
Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Kalos completely mog all othe regions.
Followed by Johto, Hisui and nu-Kalos.
Paldea, Alola, Unova, and Galar are the worst starter regions.

I'd say its tied between them Hoenn and Sinnoh's starters.
This might be a bit controversial but I think the Johto trio could've also made it to the top if they didn't have bad stats and movepools.

True but unlike every other starter the Johto starter were the only ones that were not made to be shilled. Partly as punishment for following the KANTOOOO starters and partly out of punishment for how hellish gen2’s development was due to game freak’s own stupidity. Any scrap of love the johto starters god in the past 25 years is solely due to fan autism because game freak’s gives them jack shit. Meganium manages to get a reasonable sized fanbase now due to getting a non-humiliation ritual mega. But it’s still far behind due to the Johto penalty

cuz they don't even want to deviate and the fucking manufacturers demand they stick with grass water and fire for ease of production process of using the same hue. the original starters made sense because they are the primary colors of a color palette. everything has mostly been a shit excuse for starters since then

I wish Bulbasaur evolved to Ivysaur in the anime. like Ash having his starters at two stage 1s and then one stage 3 was just weird. Also in the show Bulbasaur went off to take care of some Pokemon sanctuary and it’s like bro you’re just a stage 1, him being stage 2 for that would have been like oh okay you’re strong now only you can do it. Idk would have been a nice balance between stage 1 Squirtle and his Squirtle squad shenanigans, stage 3 Charizard and his overpowered I’m not listening to you attitude and then stage 2 Ivysaur the responsible one.

Ash's Bulbasaur was stronger than his Charizard.
Charizard lost to a dusclops and Bulbasaur could defeat it despite taking fire and psychic damage.
Also defeated a Solrock that Squirtle couldn't defeat
