I think Venusaur's problems are that he becomes relatively flat and squat compared to Bulbasaur and Ivysaur, and he trades in his cool spots for warts. Those, combined with his head shape, make him just look sort of lumpy.
I thought I was the only person in the world who absolutely loved Bulbasaur and Ivysaur, but despised Venusaur, enough to not pick him over Squirtle. And yeah, I think they went too far in terms of design change from Ivysaur to Venusaur, relative to Bulbasaur and Ivysaur, making the whole thing a bit jarring. If Ivysaur was a bit closer to Venusaur, maybe it would have been easier to adjust, and even like Venusaur.
I think the reason the Gen 2 starters all feel mid might be due to being a bit…naked like they all are the most natural starter evos…ever, but that natural style makes them feel like they’re a good amount of bits to them
If we're going to judge them by how good they are in their respective games, typhlosion is actually better than Charizard, but Charizard looks cooler for sure.
@@toxiic1568 lol, not only do they have the same stats, but a near identical movepool by the time they're evolved. Only difference is Charizard gets an extra typing and moves. But i think the main thing against Zard is just that the gyms/elite 4 have better fire counters in Kanto. Whilst a fire type in Johto has free pickings and barely any competition.
@@toxiic1568 yeah, and it turns out getting rid of the flying typing and putting him in a different game makes typhlosion better in its respective games (GSC/HG/SS) than Charizard is Kanto games. Charizard doesn't line up very well against the important battles in the Kanto games, meanwhile, typhlosion movepool and lining up better overall against the johto region than Charizard does against Kanto makes him better. Competitive battling is a different an of worms, but as far as a playthrough goes, typhlosion is better to pick in its games than Charizard is in its games.
I remember when my Combusken evolved into Blaziken. I was couldn't believe how cool it was. I was so disappointed with Combusken(Spicy Rubber chicken) when my Torchic evolved, but it was totally worth it! Also, Surperior is amazing. Decidueye may be my favorite design of these. The one that I think is most under appreciated is Primarina. It doesn't have that deadly look that starters normally carry, but I think they nailed the Siren design. It is a beautifully designed Pokemon.
Definitely agreed with Primarina and Serperior. I always love to see appreciation for Primarina. My personal favorite Starter Pokémon. Followed by Cinderace in second and Serperior in third.
i loved combysken as a kid. the torchic line was always fun for me. I think his cry in emerald sounded cool and that carried me all the way to Blaziken
@@ddonajgamer8666 I'd have to personally disagree with you there. I like Greninja, truthfully, but I do feel it's a bit overrated. I have nothing against Delphox or Chesnaught, as while they may not be Pokemon that I have much of a bias towards, I wouldn't call either of them outright bad
When you look at typhlosions hgss design, omg that is so menacing and badass with the red glowing eyes and fire out of it’s back and the colour scheme looks so good! Then 3D comes along and washes out the colours and the fire and tames the eye glare and make it look puny.
@@zomorion9183 it's the anime effect. Done the boy Ash dirty with illegal moves from episodes 1 of B&W anime. Trippin up being the ace of a trainer named Trip.
I mean… If we are talking pure aesthetics, there is a reason Charizard is so popular. Yes, he is overused and overexposed, they need to dial that way back. But his design is top 3 easily. It’s his design that makes him so popular. It’s a fire breathing dragon with a fire tail and an awesome color scheme with f@ckin horns.
Exactly. Charizard looks so imponent and strong, no matter the hate it gets from being so popular. If they maintained charmeleon red color instead of that orange it would be even more badass. Theres nothing wrong with charizard being the favorite of many people and Alain/Leon's Ace Pokemon.
The effort and narration put into this video is so good man. Really enjoyed listening to your analysis and appreciate how much you’ve put into the editing. Well done 👏🏼
I've always really liked Delphox. It has super great offensive typing and the stats to back up those fiery attacks, and its design makes me think of like a cursed warlock - sort of like a witchy version of Ninetales, a super cool inspiration for a starter pokemon.
Oh man I thought I was the only one who loved Delphox because I swear EVERY SINGLE Poketuber out there has been dragging this poor mon through the mud in every pokemon ranked video ever 😭😭😭
Hell yeah, Fox Club assemble! PyroPsion Fluffs FTW! I think people give Delphoxes stink eye cus poor Braixen was lewded up by sick pervs. I actually dig Mr1upz's description of "quirky drama teacher style wizard/witch" of it's design.
I always liked the Chikorita line a lot. I think my only problem is that in the 3D games, it looks bland while in 2d games and in Pokémon snap and the anime, it looks more vibrant and has more personality. I hope in the future 3ds (possibly in Scarlet/Violet), they make it’s color look more vibrant like it should instead of a pale green, and give it a different battle pose
I always hate going into starter ranking videos because I just know already where Emboar and Chesnaught (2 of my favorites) are going to be ranked and it sucks
@@morokee3641 Looks, obviously. It's stats are clearly higher in every regard. But it loses its cool leaf blades coming off its head and arms, its tail gets fat and bulky which doesn't fit the ninja vibe and sceptile looks high as fuck.
Incineroar is one of those Pokémon you either hate or love. I feel like people give it unfair hate. Imo, it has a cool design, and a even cooler concept, and personality.
My favorite starter is Serperior. I will always choose Snivy playing in Black. Samurott and Primarina are my second favorites, very clean and very nice designs. Every starter I pick in any games, whether that be the core games, ranger almia or mystery dungeon, I always keep them on my team.
Honestly, my personal favorite starter is Infernape. The design looks amazing, definitely showcasing the whole Sun Wu Kong inspiration (though part of that is my bias for Monkie Kid), and it’s whole aesthetic is fantastic. Now Granted, I don’t play the games (the only Pokémon game I’ve played is one of the Gen 3 remakes, but I can’t remember what it was), but I loved seeing Infernape in the anime. The attacks looked gorgeous (though you could say that about most, if not all, Pokémon), and… God, I just love it!
Definitely worth the wait. It was kind of eerie how much I agreed with these, to be honest. I rate Swampert higher, but I'm fully aware that's the nostalgia talking.
It's the typing for me. I was mind-blown as a kid when I found out how fantastic of a typing water/ground is. I was the Treecko team till then. The Hoenn starters are so balanced for their region. I never went with Muay Thai chicken unless I picked May. Felt wrong to have Brendan have the Muay Thai chicken as his ace.
@@susear5939 Yeah, that typing is truly incredible. Turning the electric weakness into an immunity is next level, and though he has a double weakness to grass (which made Sceptile my white whale as a kid), he can just pull out an ice beam and obliterate if need be. But I have to admit that his design isn't quite as cool as Blaziken and Sceptile. I still rate it, and I pick Swampert every time, but the other Gen III designs are just so good that it's hard to compete.
Not even lying, the description "looks like your quirky dreams teacher that thinks the earth's a rhombus and 5g turns your skin green" actually raised Delphox quite a few spots for me. Torterra is still MVP, but I'm starting to cast some of the others in a new light as well now.
Serperior has been my favorite pokemon for as long as I can remember myself, it's such an underated pokemon. I'm so damn glad my man's made it to such a high ranking for once.
Man, pokemon white was my first ever game. Picked the Snivy line and ever since it’s held a special place in my heart. Shiny grinded for it over COVID on another cartridge and got it on 2,413 resets. Best decision I ever made. Seeing it be #2 on here made my day
Now that you made the final evolution for the starters. Hopefully you’ll rank the 2 stage evolution or every Pokémon per one region video. To see who’s the best and worst Pokémon. It “May” take long but it’s worth it for summer vacation baby! ☀️
Alright, alright, I'll settle for this. My boys Blastoise and Decidueye did get respect but damn I swear Typhlosion would have jumped up the list if they never went and botched him in 3D.
I always thought meganium was hated upon everywhere, but it is actually very loved. This proves that a pokemon doesn't need to be jacked in battle to be good. Im also quite happy to see decidueye so high up on the list, wasn't expecting that tbh.
@@vincent23910 How many people read the manga vs watching the anime? Plus, the anime literally established that Alain is undeserving. Ash nearly beats Diantha, but Alain couldn't beat her. You cry in the corner like the trash Greninja hater you are. Also, since when was this an anime discussion? Do you not even the basic comprehension skills to understand what I commented about has nothing to with the anime? Aw, something stinks here! Someone left the trash out here.
My favorite final evo is samurott, when Dewott evolved during my very first play through of Pokémon black I knew right then and there that thing was going to kill anything in its path
Finally someone who likes primarina I always thought of a mermaid seal is such a good idea and I also really like it in the anime my fav Alola starter by far be cause in my opinion incineroar is mid litten is Oke and torracat is just litten with a bell and more hair and the entire rowlet line is overrated
Am I literally the only person who loves Inteleon? Just the concept, design, and features all make it one of my all time favorites Can’t forget about the finger guns too
Honestly I really like the concept of it's design, the color scheme, and most of the design itself but, for me, what holds it back are the hands, they're just WAY too humanlike for me
I feel like having an entire selection of starters be pure mono types does them a disservice. Weakened the Johto lineup, and weakened the Galar lineup. They certainly improved on designs in that time, but there's something about giving a Pokemon a second type which blends over into design. Which I think is something all starter Pokemon should have.
@@dr.trousers6101 Spitballing here but Inteleon could be Water/Dark in reference to it's spy agent origin, Rillaboom could be Grass/Ground for it's drummer origins, and Cinderace could be Fire/Electric.
Delphox and Chesnaught really do go under the radar. Though that'd have to be due to how much of a banger Greninja is. While I do rate Delphox higher, competing with Greninja? Yeah the other two couldn't compete. Even Gamefreak showed favouritism toward the Ninja Gaiden frog
Yeah, but Delphox is getting into Unite, so... But I hard agree there was some favoritism shown towards Greninja. I dislike it because as a Greninja fan, it pains to see more reasons for Greninja getting hate because of that favoritism, which it does. Instead of what they are doing now in shafting Greninja for the entirety of Gen 8, retconning Ash-Greninja in the anime and removing support for it in future games, they should give it the Charizard treatment. As in, let it keep it's special form, but give the other starters their own forms to reduce the flak. If GF thinks that Charizard can be saved from both hate and it's special forms getting removed, then there is no reason the same can't be said for Greninja, who doesn't have an egregious number of forms to begin with, who is more popular than Charizard (as of 2020, 2021 PoTY awards) and who was saved before, when it was HATED at it's debut in Gen 6. And that's why I want to see Battle Bond forms for Delphox and Chesnaught down the line, either Gen 9 post-game/DLC, Gen 6 remakes or Gen 6 legends games. These 2 would have so much potential, even if it wasn't about the Greninja hate getting reduced. If Delphox's proportions were adjusted slightly, similar to how Greninja's colors were adjusted, it could be WAY more liked than it is. Not top 10 of the year, but still pretty popular, and cool nonetheless. A guy can dream, am I right?
Ehh, I'm not so big on the galar starters, or the johto ones, but then again that's probably more cus they're all mono types and that's usually kinda boring
It's funny because the root words for the name Blaziken are Blaze and Chicken, but here's another way to look at it... Blazing-Ken, as in Ken Masters, as in the fancy flaming footwork of street fighter.It also helps that Ken, When translated in direct Japanese, becomes "punch" or "fist".
Now, though I think that around half of these starter trio rankings are in the exact opposite order, I respect your opinion and always have fun watching your videos
Empoleon,Torterra,Infernape,Emboar, Serperior,Cinderace,Sceptile,Chesnaught, Feralligtr,Greninja,Blastoise,and Charizard is my 3rd Final Evolution Pokemon Starters.
We definitely have different opinions. I wouldn't say yours are wrong, just different. Venusaur is my favorite Kanto starter, especially with it's mega. Infernape is my favorite final evolved starter, and decidueye is my favorite grass starter. There's no doubt Blaziken is up there, but he's not better than Infernape design wise. As for my favorite water starter, the best design is definitely Greninja, but I'll always hold a special place in my heart for Samurott.
While at one point I would have put Meganium at the *very* bottom of such a list, TFS has given me a much brighter outlook on the derpy green dino plushie. Mr. Stake was a hero amongst men...
Typhlosion without his flame is absolutely at the bottom of the list. How can you have a fire starter without the fire, It’s like if they made sceptile an electric type.
Meganium was the only grass starter I regretted choosing. I could not get over the embarrassment of struggling after I let Bayleef reach final form. Will always choose Venusaur (especially as a mega) and threw my froakie in the box to make it my official starter. But...Primarina will always be a straight ACE of a starter to me. I adore it's signature move and design
@@markanthony5846 Yeah, Water/Fairy is great. Popplio is also statistically the best Starter to use in a playthrough too, since it matches up well against a majority of the boss battles in Alola.
Serperior and Primarina are really pretty to me. Those are the two I picked when I played but didn't know what the final form would be. Their starters get too much hate and I think I'm the only one tired of fire/fighting types.
I personally prefer Primarina to Serperior myself, but I still do think Serperior is solid, much more so with it's hidden ability, contrary, to beef up it's special attack with every Leaf Storm it uses. But when it comes to using them for a playthrough, Serperior is unfortunately the worst one you could pick from, which is a huge advantage that Primarina has over it, as it gives Primarina a lot more utility overall.
Hoenn is definitely the game I literally never fully evolve my starter and stop using it at all by level 28. Idk, none of them do it for me at all. Sceptile is probably my least favorite starter and I literally always pick grass types. That’s also definitely the game I use a Gyrados with four HMs on it to free up moves
I think Venusaur's problems are that he becomes relatively flat and squat compared to Bulbasaur and Ivysaur, and he trades in his cool spots for warts. Those, combined with his head shape, make him just look sort of lumpy.
He also doesn’t get much new compared to the dragon form of charizard or the cannons of blastoise venusaur is more of a middle stage
I thought I was the only person in the world who absolutely loved Bulbasaur and Ivysaur, but despised Venusaur, enough to not pick him over Squirtle. And yeah, I think they went too far in terms of design change from Ivysaur to Venusaur, relative to Bulbasaur and Ivysaur, making the whole thing a bit jarring. If Ivysaur was a bit closer to Venusaur, maybe it would have been easier to adjust, and even like Venusaur.
Oh... so that's why mega venasaur looks better
The eyes abit too
for me it's that the leaf over it's head looks like a bad haircut and I can't get over it.
I think the reason the Gen 2 starters all feel mid might be due to being a bit…naked like they all are the most natural starter evos…ever, but that natural style makes them feel like they’re a good amount of bits to them

As much of a banger as Decidueye is, I gotta give Sceptile the best grass starter tittle. The Treecko line is near perfect all the way through.
Fr out of the 3 ninjas Greninja intellion and sceptile, septile is the beast
Snivy Is not that bad :3
I just hatched a near shiny perfect HA Treecko cuz he’s so dope, especially shiny.
Plus Grovyle is hands down the best character of Mystery Dungeon

Primarina is way too girly the male versions would be transsexuals and the boys aren't gonna wanna pick her. The starter should be gender neutral.
There are no bad fully evolved starter Pokémon, only less good ones.

@@vincent23910 How many people read the manga vs watching the anime? Plus, the anime literally established that Alain is undeserving. Ash nearly beats Diantha, but Alain couldn't beat her. You cry in the corner like the trash Greninja hater you are. Also, since when was this an anime discussion? Do you not even the basic comprehension skills to understand what I commented about has nothing to with the anime? Aw, something stinks here! Someone left the trash out here.
My favorite final evo is samurott, when Dewott evolved during my very first play through of Pokémon black I knew right then and there that thing was going to kill anything in its path
Hisuian Typhlosion has definitely grown on me.
Probably my second favorite Fire starter.
Yooooooo, Thanks for releasing the video. Can’t wait to hear you roast the shit out of some of these
Serperior is one of the best Pokémon designs period, so seeing it up so high is a treat
Bruh. It’s bad.
@@cofault5677 nah serperior has a good design the other 2 tho are pretty mid designs and this is coming from someone who stans gen 5
I definitely agree with that. My third favorite Starter, behind Cinderace and Primarina.
Finally someone who likes primarina I always thought of a mermaid seal is such a good idea and I also really like it in the anime my fav Alola starter by far be cause in my opinion incineroar is mid litten is Oke and torracat is just litten with a bell and more hair and the entire rowlet line is overrated
It's just a snake with leaf design. My boy Samurott has better design
Am I literally the only person who loves Inteleon? Just the concept, design, and features all make it one of my all time favorites
Can’t forget about the finger guns too
Same
He’s not my favorite starter but he’s very underrated and I also like him
Not my fav (as you can see), but he has grown on me for sure. I really felt the pain when he was talked about. So yeah I guess I now like him.
Honestly I really like the concept of it's design, the color scheme, and most of the design itself but, for me, what holds it back are the hands, they're just WAY too humanlike for me
OMG finally an inteleon fan...he was my second starter ever so I'm very attached to him
I feel like having an entire selection of starters be pure mono types does them a disservice. Weakened the Johto lineup, and weakened the Galar lineup. They certainly improved on designs in that time, but there's something about giving a Pokemon a second type which blends over into design. Which I think is something all starter Pokemon should have.
yessir. not sure what types youd give to galar without making them look like clones of previous boyos
@@dr.trousers6101 Spitballing here but Inteleon could be Water/Dark in reference to it's spy agent origin, Rillaboom could be Grass/Ground for it's drummer origins, and Cinderace could be Fire/Electric.
Wrathful Gaming Greninja and Torterra did it first
@@shellshock8505 exactly, then again, it didnt stop GF from doing fire/fight 3 times lmao
@@wrathfulgaming3373 Or grass/rock. because it's a drummer and rock music is a theme with it
Just gotta say... Swampert is a friggin 1 person army as a pokemon
Even though Feraligatr isn't the best final evo for the starters, imo, I would still pick it every time
I’ve been binging these vids and lemme tell you my man you need to get on that TH-cam upload grind my man
These videos are just too hilarious
Keep it up
"Everyone's top starters are gonna be fuelled by nostalgia"
Me growing up in the 90s with Pokemon having Primarina in #1: Sure? 😂
Very glad to see that my boy Blaziken ended up getting #1. He would’ve been an astounding character to have had in Smash Bros.
I was really sad Greninja got into Smash Bros instead of Blaziken. He doesn't get all the love and hype he deserves.
1:27 bro looks like that one purple villain from Monsters Ink lmao 😭
Edit: Lmao even he said it…..
Delphox and Chesnaught really do go under the radar.
Though that'd have to be due to how much of a banger Greninja is.
While I do rate Delphox higher, competing with Greninja?
Yeah the other two couldn't compete. Even Gamefreak showed favouritism toward the Ninja Gaiden frog
Yeah, but Delphox is getting into Unite, so... But I hard agree there was some favoritism shown towards Greninja. I dislike it because as a Greninja fan, it pains to see more reasons for Greninja getting hate because of that favoritism, which it does.
Instead of what they are doing now in shafting Greninja for the entirety of Gen 8, retconning Ash-Greninja in the anime and removing support for it in future games, they should give it the Charizard treatment. As in, let it keep it's special form, but give the other starters their own forms to reduce the flak. If GF thinks that Charizard can be saved from both hate and it's special forms getting removed, then there is no reason the same can't be said for Greninja, who doesn't have an egregious number of forms to begin with, who is more popular than Charizard (as of 2020, 2021 PoTY awards) and who was saved before, when it was HATED at it's debut in Gen 6.
And that's why I want to see Battle Bond forms for Delphox and Chesnaught down the line, either Gen 9 post-game/DLC, Gen 6 remakes or Gen 6 legends games. These 2 would have so much potential, even if it wasn't about the Greninja hate getting reduced. If Delphox's proportions were adjusted slightly, similar to how Greninja's colors were adjusted, it could be WAY more liked than it is. Not top 10 of the year, but still pretty popular, and cool nonetheless. A guy can dream, am I right?
Gotta agree, there is no starter that I'd dislike simply because they're bad. Independently, all their final starter forms are alright
Ehh, I'm not so big on the galar starters, or the johto ones, but then again that's probably more cus they're all mono types and that's usually kinda boring
Fun fact: there is no fire / fighting type that isn’t a starter
Cool bro
Heatmor with a pair of boxing gloves
I love how this man remembers his regirock big mac joke, I love it
It's funny because the root words for the name Blaziken are Blaze and Chicken, but here's another way to look at it... Blazing-Ken, as in Ken Masters, as in the fancy flaming footwork of street fighter.It also helps that Ken, When translated in direct Japanese, becomes "punch" or "fist".
Didn't know that aha
Dooku voice: "ive been looking forward to this"
Now, though I think that around half of these starter trio rankings are in the exact opposite order, I respect your opinion and always have fun watching your videos
Cinderace kicks a goal into Scott Sterling’s face. His face still would’ve blocked it but think of the damage.
DO NOT CALL CINDERACE A HE!
@@Amelia4111 I was referring to Scott. Not Cinderace.
My top 3:
1. Sceptile
2. Blaziken
3. Blastoise
Serperior was my first Pokémon and thus my favorite starter, but somehow I didn’t realize you hadn’t ranked it yet lmao. Glad to see it so high
Very happy you put torterra as high as you did as it’s my favorite starter and one of my favorite Pokémon
Tbf I love Torterra.
Hard swap with Serperior
Empoleon,Torterra,Infernape,Emboar,
Serperior,Cinderace,Sceptile,Chesnaught,
Feralligtr,Greninja,Blastoise,and Charizard is my 3rd Final Evolution Pokemon Starters.
Finally, someone who appreciates Serperior for the GOAT grass starter that it is
Finally acknowledging the fire chicken as the best🫡
We definitely have different opinions. I wouldn't say yours are wrong, just different. Venusaur is my favorite Kanto starter, especially with it's mega. Infernape is my favorite final evolved starter, and decidueye is my favorite grass starter. There's no doubt Blaziken is up there, but he's not better than Infernape design wise. As for my favorite water starter, the best design is definitely Greninja, but I'll always hold a special place in my heart for Samurott.
*WE DON'T USE THE WORD ITS AS A PRONOUN IF THERE'S AN APOSTROPHE IN IT! REMOVE THE APOSTROPHE RIGHT NOW!*
I picked Torchic as my first starter for any Pokemon game I completed, and Blaziken is still one of my favorite Pokemon after so many years.
Flame monkey too high, but extreme based having empoleon higher than him. Everyone loves the boring fire monkey but the true king is the steel penguin
THE FLAME MONKEY'S NAME IS INFERNAPE!
Flame monkey not high enough 😤. I love empoleon tho 🥰
That full starter pluchee collection in the intro is fire
IMO, and this is bias because they were my first starters, but Cinderace and Swampert are s tier to me. So is Decidueye.
In no world should Cinder race be below top 15
Released right as my lunch started! ❤
All the ones i love are low ranked
But Serperior's placement makes up for everything
While at one point I would have put Meganium at the *very* bottom of such a list, TFS has given me a much brighter outlook on the derpy green dino plushie.
Mr. Stake was a hero amongst men...
It's true. He can't even die
I guessed right that serperior’s default downward glare of superiority would look down on a big chunk of the last stage roster.
I’m so happy with the placement of empoleon it’s my second favorite Pokémon
Serperior being in Number 2 is factually wrong in every aspect but Blaziken in Number 1 is factually correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was about to sleep then this drops, u already know I'm staying up
Absolutely agree with Mr 1. Finally someone who gets it. Put some respect on Blazikens name.
The most op starter in the games with soeedboost especially mega blaziken x
another banger bro, so glad i found your channel
Typhlosion without his flame is absolutely at the bottom of the list. How can you have a fire starter without the fire, It’s like if they made sceptile an electric type.
DO NOT CALL TYPHLOSION A HE! DO NOT LEAVE OFF THE C IN SCEPTILE!
Cinderace 25th? Are you f***ing serious? You deserve no mercy
Incineroar was probably meant to be fire fighting but they didn't want the backlash
Wish they kept typhlosion’s fire active in 3d, looks so weird without it
Meganium was the only grass starter I regretted choosing. I could not get over the embarrassment of struggling after I let Bayleef reach final form. Will always choose Venusaur (especially as a mega) and threw my froakie in the box to make it my official starter. But...Primarina will always be a straight ACE of a starter to me. I adore it's signature move and design
WE DON'T USE THE WORD ITS AS A PRONOUN IF THERE'S AN APOSTROPHE IN IT!
Just found this channel and this commentary is hilarious! Looking forward to more😂
YEAH, Blaziken and Serperior are the two best starters!
these opinions are SHOCKING but IIIII LOVE IT
I actually like the whole primarina line a lot
Same here, I think they're all super adorable
@@AuraStrikeAce ikr plus the typing is good
@@markanthony5846 Yeah, Water/Fairy is great. Popplio is also statistically the best Starter to use in a playthrough too, since it matches up well against a majority of the boss battles in Alola.
@@AuraStrikeAce true, I used the other starters but I enjoyed popplio the most
The best poketuber returns
Serperior and Primarina are really pretty to me. Those are the two I picked when I played but didn't know what the final form would be.
Their starters get too much hate and I think I'm the only one tired of fire/fighting types.
Serperior looks ugly for me idk why
Agreed, I love Primarina and Serperior both so much.
I personally prefer Primarina to Serperior myself, but I still do think Serperior is solid, much more so with it's hidden ability, contrary, to beef up it's special attack with every Leaf Storm it uses. But when it comes to using them for a playthrough, Serperior is unfortunately the worst one you could pick from, which is a huge advantage that Primarina has over it, as it gives Primarina a lot more utility overall.
@@sudowoodo5826 It's literally a snake. It doesn't get much cleaner/smoother design than that.
@@Seismitoad3 yeah but compared to Arbok it doesn't look like a snake for me (his face)
this man is a absol-utely crazy
Hoenn is definitely the game I literally never fully evolve my starter and stop using it at all by level 28. Idk, none of them do it for me at all. Sceptile is probably my least favorite starter and I literally always pick grass types. That’s also definitely the game I use a Gyrados with four HMs on it to free up moves
It is absolutely criminal that Samurott is above swampert. Unforgivable
It's Hisuian form slaps tho
