      I played the first 3 gens of Pokemon as they came out and I tend to agree. Gen 3's starters had spunk. Mudkip was the perfect stand-in for Totodile, Treeko was literally the archetypal "cool anime character" in gecko form and Torchic was this adorable fire chicken with jois de vivre (who then turns into my favourite final evolution). Good point.

My personal favorites have got to be the Sinnoh starters, Diamond & Pearl were my first Pokémon games and I just think all 3 of them have such great designs. I loved Monkeys as a kid so I’ve always been a huge Chimchar fan, especially as I lean toward Fire type starters, though both Turtwig and Piplup are super cute!

      As someone who didn’t play a whole lot of Gen 3 when it came out, I think mudkip looks kinda derpy, to the point of not even cute derpy. And if it weren’t for the anime, I think Treecko would be the same. But it’s all subjective.

      @@RolfeSenpai Not true at all. In original Gen 2 Totodile is the worst. Why? Because it was before the Physical/Special split. Totodile's evolutionary line is all physical with a typing, Water, that was only special attacks. This made Totodile's line worthless in original Gen 2. It was only until the remake that it became viable in any way.

    I like next to no fire starters actually. I know, they’re always the most popular, but it’s VERY rare for me to go for them BECAUSE of that.
    Gen 1: Squirtle
    Gen 2: Totodile
    Gen 3: Treeko
    Gen 4: Turtwig
    Gen 5: much closer but Snivy wins out
    Gen 6: Fennekin
    Gen 7: Poplio
    Gen 8: yes I did cave on fire because soccer bunny was too good to pass up.
    I often WANT to go for the unpopular ones. (Except gen 1 and all 3 are given too much attention if you ask me at this point) Some I knew outright were unpopular for good reason. Like Meganium. Or the other 2 completely overshadowed one. Like Turtwig by Chimchar and Piplup. Or how Poplio was overshadowed too. Primarina is my favorite gen 7 mon no questions asked. It’s SO fun to use.

Gens 5, 7 and 9 are middle of the road solid ideas but lacking in some areas. Gens 2, 6, and 8 are the most underwhelming in my opinion.

    I really like the Johto starters. Silver was my first Pokemon game, so nostalgia definitely plays a role here, but I always really liked Cyndaquil and Totodile in particular. Cyndaquil was my first Pokemon and it always seemed more like a porcupine than a rodent based Pokemon. Plus, Typhlosion has always been a pretty reliable starter. Seeing Cyndaquil get more love in Legends Arceus makes me so happy too. Totodile was easily the cutest Water starter until Oshawott came. Popplio is also my favorite Water starter. I can understand not liking how it looks like a clown or blows bubbles, but I just always found it to be incredibly cute and its evolved forms made me love it more.

    My choice-Gen 3-is also 100% nostalgia-based. When I was younger, my family didn’t have much money, so while I played the beginnings of Red, Yellow, and I think Silver on friends’ devices, I never even got as far as the first gym, and of course I couldn’t save it. When I was 11 or 12, I got my very first Nintendo device: a refurbished GameBoy Advance. Naturally, I wanted to go get a Pokémon game to go with it! The selection at my local gaming store wasn’t great, but they did happen to have copies of the latest games to release: Ruby and Sapphire. I chose Sapphire because it was my birthstone, and my brother opted for Ruby (I think he liked how Groudon looked). My first Pokémon was Mudkip (waaaay before the meme). Since I’d never gotten very far in any of the previous games, it was all totally new to me, and it made me want to play the other games all the way through even more!
    TLDR I’m a huge fan of Mudkip and my Swampert is basically my rock 😍

    I’ve grown to actually have a preference for Popplio and Fenniken since they were both my absolute strongest starters ever when going through my gen 6 and 7 playthroughs in recent memory. The fire-psychic combo for Delphox is insane in late game Kalos and Primarina’s water-fairy combination would sweep everything it touched.

    • @thecrazcat5858
      @thecrazcat5858 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm actually very much in the same boat with that; Fennekin is the only time I've preferred the Fire starter Pokemon of a trio (Froakie is alright, don't get me wrong, but I think Greninja is a bit overrated, and that Delphox and Chesnaught really should have been given their own counterpart forms to Ash-Greninja to level the playing field between the three); Fire/Psychic is also a nice deviation from the horde of Fire-Fighting themed starters, something Incineroar follows up on with Fire/Dark.
      The Popplio line remains my favorite Water starter, having dethroned the first line of Water starters I've ever played with (that being the Mudkip line); cute, graceful but potent in its later evolutions, and the Gen 7 lineup having their own unique Z-Moves gives them something to set them apart from the other series of starters.
      As for Grass, that I'm undecided on. It's another off-pick type for me, but the main starter I've done Grass with is Snivy [having been between both them and Oshawott in the Gen 5 games]. It's possible that Sprigatito will win out as the preferred Grass starter for me, but I don't really have a strong opinion on the Gen 9 starters beyond that because we have yet to see any of their evolved forms, right? So time will tell on that one-

      Hilariously, my problem with both of those pokemon is the same: Their line works so much better as females, but the male bias on starters kills it.
      It's kind of like seeing a male Gardevoir or a female Mr. Mime..it just rubs the brain the wrong way.

    I like most the starters I feel gen 4 had the best selection. I barely even played Gen 4 but Infernape, and Empoleon are both really good, and Torterra is plenty good for a playthrough at least, even with the big ice weakness.

    • @Blaze4ification
      @Blaze4ification 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah i wish more Pokemon had a balance like them. True Torterra despite being my favorite of the 3 has a ton of weaknesses, but it was a good attempt at adhering to the RPG aspects. Torterra weak to fire has ground to beat Infernape, Infernape has fighting to combat Empoleon's steel despite being water too, Empoleon... well steel doesn't beat grass or ground, in fact steel is weak to ground, but every water type in existence (unless gimmicky like Magicarp) can learn ice type moves so I don't think it's a big deal. I keep hoping they do this for a new set of starters.

    Wow...you have some opinions alright, lol. But in all seriousness, here's my rankings by Gen from least to most favorite. Based only on first stages.
    9. Gen 5 - The only gen where I like NONE of the starters (worst is Oshawott)
    8. Gen 4 - Piplup's cool, but Turtwig & Chimcar both suck.
    7. Gen 6 - Fennekin's great, but Froakie's just not. And Chespin is worst overall starter.
    6. Gen 1 - They're kinda boring. I like Squirtle & Charmander, but Bulbasaur does nothing for me.
    5. Gen 7 - Popplio's the best by far, though I love Litten too. Not big into Rowlet.
    4. Gen 3 - Not huge into Treecko, but still like it. LOVE Torchic, & like Mudkip.
    3. Gen 8 - GrookeyGang, but I do love Sobble. Okay with Scorbunny too.
    2. Gen 9 - Not sold on Quaxly, but I love Sprigatito & my fave is Fuecoco
    1. Gen 2 - The only gen where I genuinely love all three starters (fave is Chikorita)

    • @V-Jes
      @V-Jes 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Chikorita is objectively the worst starter in the series when it comes to battles, Cindaquill is literally just Charmander with worse moves while Totodile depends if you play the original or remakes on how good it is as it's a physical water type with like no good physical moves in the original Gen 2 games.

  • @MidniteAndBeyond
    @MidniteAndBeyond 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My answers change on an almost daily basis, but for now, here's how I'm feeling. I'm also gonna rank all the Starters from favorite to least favorite:
    9. Kalos: Froakie, Fennikin, Chespin - None of these Pokemon really grabbed me. As someone whose favorite Pokemon type is grass and who more often than not goes with the grass starter, Chespin is the only Grass starter I actively dislike and was a major disappointment for me, this gen. Froakie was more so chosen out of not really liking the other two.
    8. Galar: Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble - As a Legends of the Hidden Temple fan, I had to go with the green monkey! The others are whatever.
    7. Gen 9: Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Quaxly - Will most likely change as I get more acquainted with them, overtime. A solid group, but don't have much of an opinion on them, yet.
    6. Hoenn: Treecko, Mudkip, Torchic - I feel like if this gen came out today, Mudkip would be my favorite. I still like Treecko, but everything I like about it is done better with Snivy.
    5. Kanto: Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander - Bulbasaur is also my favorite Pokemon of all time! I also love Squirtle, but Charmander (more so Charizard) is one of my least favorite Pokemon, which is why Kanto is ranked as low as it is.
    4. Sinnoh: Chimchar, Turtwig, Piplup - By far the hardest decision I had to make, when choosing a starter. Nowadays, it's no contest. Chimchar is my favorite Pokemon of all time in the anime and I adore it in the games, to this day. I still love Turtwig, but Chimchar will always be my number one for this gen. I really loved Piplup at first, but have since grown lukewarm to it. I still like it, just not on par with the other two.
    3. Unova: Snivy, Oshawott, Tepig - All incredibly solid. I flat out couldn't pick between Snivy and Oshawott when Black and White first came out, so I picked up both games on launch so I could go on a journey with both (and then B2W2 came out... *sigh*)
    2. Alola: Popplio, Rowlet, Litten - Pretty much tied with Unova. I adore my precious clown princess and I'll continue to defend the entire Popplio evolutionary line until the end of time! I love the ball owl, as well. I honestly couldn't choose between the two of them when playing Moon for the first time and had to do some trading to get both of them on my team (and then USUM got announced... *SIGH*). Litten is great as well, but I adore the other two LEAGUES more than it.
    1. Johto: Cyndaquil, Totodile, Chikorita - I think Gen 2 overall has the best designed Pokemon. The devs had the experience from working on gen 1, but still had a plethora of ideas that have yet to be explored. While I think I like Popplio and Rowlet more than these three starters, all 3 of the Johto starters have great designs and have personal stories attached to them. Totodile is one of my favorite Pokemon in the anime for its adorable voice and great personality. Chikorita's evolved form Bayleef is also lovable in the anime, but I got even more attached to it when playing Pokemon Colosseum for the first time and it really got to shine in a way that only would've been possible in a game that's entirely double battles. And Cyndaquil... it was the Pokemon I became when diving into the world of Mystery Dungeon for the first time, which was a very monumental and emotional experience for me, first time around. It's my go to partner in Gold and Silver, it continues to have great moments in the awesome Pokemon Chronicles anime spinoff and in Legends Arceus. All around, I adore these starters. And I look forward to creating even more memories with Pokemon I've yet to go on a journey, yet. That's what makes the world of Pokemon so enjoyable for me.

  • @sageneodraconus
    @sageneodraconus 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really enjoyed this type of format. Really good idea for filling in those gaps for a while too. Just use stuff like this and top 10s and such to temp fill the gaps. If you use this ranking idea, you can poll for the topic via patreon, Twitter, etc and ask for what to make it about. Example. If you say best jrpgs ranked. Your poll could be to have dragonquest, Final fantasy, etc listed (or have people add to the list) then you take the 8 to 10 biggest ones and rank them like this. I actually prefer this ranking method you did over a standard top 10 video because it just felt better. You were able to compare the new entry to the existing ones more clearly and place it where it ought to be. I would like to see more of these for sure. Idk what the content of them would be. Best versions of link? Best games of a series (megaman (x) games, final fantasy games, resident evil, any series really)? Idk. That's for you to decide since it's your channel. But this format was actually what drew me more than the content of the video. Idc about pokemon as much as some folks but it was still interesting to watch because of HOW you did it rather than WHAT it was about. If that makes sense. Hopefully this helps in some way. I was curious as to what you'd be doing after NG+ wrapped up to keep the schedule going. Another idea for generic filler videos would be to tackle dlc on previously completed titles and you can open a video saying what the old rating was and adjust it based on the dlc addition. Sometimes dlc knocks it out of the park. Sometimes it just adds more grind than it's worth with a list of new crap to do with varying levels of payoff. Idk. Again. Just spitballing
