I think Fennekin has that reverse middle stage syndrome, where the middle evolution is cooler than the last one. I think Bayleef, Dewott and for some people Groovyle are also on the list of middle-stage pokemon that can outshine their final forms. I think people may overlook these mons while picking them. There are many cases of starters with weird/unpopular middle stage forms, but they are completely saved thanks to their more remarkable basic and final forms. Grookey, Chespin, Mudkip and Squirtle are good examples.

Picking a starter is sort of like picking a level of difficulty for the game. For example, Bulbasaur in Gen 1 can be considered easy mode because it has an advantage over the first two gyms, whereas picking Chikorita in Gen 2 is choosing hard mode given its type disadvantages against the first two gyms. There are other battles throughout the game to consider, but once you get through the beginning, you have access to more types and the opportunity to diverse your team, so the beginning really is a challenge in itself and you rely heavily on your starter.

Comparing Chespin and Tepig has an easy winner. People loved Chespin when the reveals were first out. I'd say Froakie was more, but Chespin was defiantly above Fennakin. Quillidin is a mess of a middle stage true, but Chesnaught as his Juggernaut design is amazing and really stands out from the other grass starters to that point. Only Rillaboom is built like him in the lineup. While Tepig started off strong, he just gets worst and worst. Pignite you'd argue is slightly better than Quillidin, but it's still a bad design, and unlike Chesnaught, Emboar makes it worst. Grass/Fighting starter was exciting at the time, cause we only had Breloom. Fire/Fighting was not. We were all sick of it, and Emboar had to compare to fan-favs Blaziken and Infernape, which only made it worst for him.

As for movesets, it can serve as a bit of a tank. It can learn reflect and light screen which raise both defense and sp. defense. It can learn Aromatherapy which removes a status condition off of you or an ally if you’re in a double battle. And it’s not like it can’t put up a good fight. Even if its level up moves aren’t the best, it’s not like you can’t improve your particular chiko’s moveset with TMs or move tutor.

I began to develop a love for Chikorita many years ago when my sister let me borrow one of her Mystery Dungeon games (I forget which one, it was either Red or Blue rescue team). The quiz selected Chikorita for me, and I quickly began to bond with my character. The Chikorita personality also seemed to fit me as well, so that helped speed things along. I never got very far in the game; I think I kept dying at Mt. Steel before deciding to give up, but I never forgot Chikorita and I went through a phase where I was completely obsessed with Chikorita. I’ve since grown out of that phase but I still have a special place in my heart for Chikorita. I also want to point out something about the evolution of the flower buds on chiko; apparently I later learned that I think Bayleef’s neck can smell like spices, since I think Bayleef’s neck is supposed to represent different leaves and spices like bay leaves (hehe) and thyme or something.

@@Solana771 that's an interesting pokemon fact about chikorita I didn't know about. Thanks for sharing it, and I agree with the music thing I like music with meaning to it and not the mainstream overly used sexual content and lyrics at all. I like a lot of old school blues and country and so on, my dad would always play oldies cds in the car when we drove somewhere out of town I know some good Marvin Gaye, the temptations, Brenton wood and a few others as well. I have a great love gor chikorita because of the anime and her simple design and as for dinosaurs there are some I love, I grew up watching jurassic park and godzilla. I have two brothers so sonic and Mario were definitely part of childhood as well. My older brother has still his jurassic park raptor doll he had put away in the closet along with his old Thomas train set. When it comes to huge groups of people I can see how that can be uncomfortable. Everyone is different. It depends on who you're comfortable being around that makes or breaks the social aspect.

Here's my favorite per gen Gen 1 = Honestly Bulbasaur's grown on me no that's not a weird pun lol Gen 2 = Chikarita, honestly I have the least amount of headaches with it. It level's up pretty fast and I usually have more problems with Cyndaquill and Totodile. Gen 3 = Treecko, you can't not love Treecko. Gen 4 = Piplup. I like it's whole evolutionary line, I think Prinplup is underrated. Plus steel types are my second favorite typing in Pokemon next to electric. Gen 5 = Snivy too me looks like a spiritual successor to Treecko, I think it has a similar attitude plus I've used it in many playthrough's so it's the one I'm nostolgic for. Gen 6 = Fennikin, it's the cutest and I have no shame in that being my reason for liking it, and honestly I never noticed the weird ear hair thing until people started bringing it up but I don't think it distracts from the overall cuteness it has. Gen 7 = Popplio, I do think that it's the cutest starter and to be honest I like the animal it's based off of. Gen 8 = Sobble, I thought it was adorable, and it conquers it's own self doubt when it evolves. I find it relatable because I was a big cryer as a kid and then I learned to be strong. So I relate to Sobble in a lot of ways. Gen 9 = The fact that it's a duck alone makes me like Quaxly, I love ducks, Psyduck is tied with Snorlax for my favorite Pokemon of all time just because it looks like a duck, I even looked up how to take care of one as a pet just because I love ducks. Now it's rumored that it's a pirate duck? Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?!?!?

The least popular starter statistically is either Chespin, Popplio, or Chikorita. The issue with Chikorita and Popplio is the fan base has declared them to be too feminine of a starter as they're obviously targeted for female trainers. In Japan, Chikorita is considered to be "the most seriously useless starter Pokémon," however because its a classic and has more time to grow a fanbase it's become more popular over the years especially in the anime. With Chespin and Popplio though, they are still roughly new starters and considered to arrive past the "peak" of Pokémon. Between the two it seems like Chespin statistically is the least favorable since grass and fighting isn't the best combo typing, plus its design isn't as appealing to any other starters. With Popplio though, it typing of Water/ Fairy is unique and comes in handy with many battle in its debuted game. While Tepig might be the least liked out of the gen 5 starters, its selection rate is on par with Snivy and Oshawott. All 3 starters in term of design are equally balanced and the only real downside to Tepig in the fanbase is it being the 3rd Fire/ Fighting type in a row. It's stats are greater then the two other starters and even greater than Infernape and Blazikin in defense/ attack. So the actuality is Tepig might be the least favorable out of the fire starters, but the real worst starter statistically is Chespin due to it's terrible stats, design, and underwhelming appeal to the Pokémon fanbase.

I never played X and Y, but I think it’s because of how the starter typings are designed to hard counter both types of the starter who’s weak to it. For example, Chesnauts typings are weak to both of Delphox’s typings. However, despite having two type advantages over Greninja, it still gets easily outplayed by the starter it was designed to counter. Whoever decided to give Greninja access to flying type moves must have hated chesnaut lol. It also doesn’t help that the starter it “counters” can simply change its own type, which completely negates those typing advantages, leaving chesnaut as a slow, sitting duck. I personally have no problem with chesnaut, and I actually really like it’s design. However I can see why people may not get the “dreadnaught” feeling when it’s weak to so many common offensive types.

My dislike from Tepig didn't come from it was another fire fighting starter and honestly I didn't even know it was another fire-fighting. I disliked Tepig because I thought it was boring compared to the other starters. Pokemon going from all fours to bipedal doesn't bother me though either. Pokemon going from bipedal to all fours that annoys me. Not enough to hate it but still how does a Pokemon suddenly go from two legs to all fours? It makes more sense why a Pokemon would eventually go to two legs.

I think Chikorita gets a bad wrap because many people chose the easier options in Johto. I found it and it's evolutions great once you get past the first two gyms, with my Meganium taking down most of the Elite Four in my first run-through. The Johto starters are really deserving of an upgrade, especially after they were overlooked for Megas. Even an additional typing or new form is deserved. Also, Bayleef is a brilliant design and was great in the anime. There's quite a few other starters and their evolutions that I just can't get with, especially in Gens 5, 6 and 8.

I feel like your videos always have an "Oh!" moment. Like I was like "I think it's usually the Grass type per gen", then you go "First, Gen 1 is probably safe" then I realized

Tepig was my very first Pokémon! I got Pokémon Black 2 for Christmas after discovering the anime and trading card game (Small child me had no idea the video games existed until I found out on the internet. I didn’t even get a Nintendo DS until near the end of the console’s lifespan) I begged my parents for any Pokémon game and I’m sure Black 2, being the most current release, happened to be the game they grabbed off the shelf at a Walmart. All of this to say, I’m 21 now and Pokémon has continued to be an enormous part of my life. I own almost all of the games in the series and replaying them brings me enormous amounts of comfort. Even though DPPt became my favorites and where most of my nostalgia is for, Gen 5, Black 2, and by extension Tepig, will always hold a special place in my heart, regardless of Tepig’s overall popularity. Here’s to you, Tepig! Thanks for kickstarting my love for this franchise. I’ll always love and appreciate you, even if you are the least popular starter of them all.

@matthewkuscienko46162 жыл бұрын
I feel as though they have avoided making another fire/fighting type starter Pokemon since gen5 specifically because the general reaction towards Emboar was so negative, which I understand, since it got pretty tiring to see that type combo used 3 generations in a row
@Superluigi8812 жыл бұрын
The biggest crime the gen 5 anime made was not having Ash's Tepig evolve into Emboar but having it evolve into Pignite. Either go all the way or don't bother at all. Especially in this case. Emboar isn't the prettiest sight but it does have a certain coolness to it. Pignite is just ugly and the worst stage they could choose to leave it as.

Meganium was a prominent Mon in New Snap, even being on the box art of the game, so it has that at the very least.

I have a very strong bond with Chestnut. When I was really young and just getting into Pokémon my parents bought me and my sister a few Pokémon plushies. I got a chestnut and my sister got panchem and nowadays I love both of them and they are on my favorites list. Their designs are also cool. I was very relieved that other people do not dislike chestnut because he’s my cute lil boi. (I say he but I mean it. It just looks a he)

I picked Chespin for my entre into X...and regretted it the moment it evolved. Never liked Chesnaught. And I've always felt the Froakie line was overrated. But I feel the Fennekin & Tepig lines are wildly underrated! My favorite grass type is the Grookey line! Still love it, and it's one of my favorite starters. But Totodile is probably my favorite starter of all time!
@emperorcubone2 жыл бұрын
I totally agree that the Froakie line is overrated, and Totodile is a great pick!
@Alexisilver2 жыл бұрын
I picked Froakie to start And I laughed out loud when my rival sent out Qualadin Then I never had a greater "careful who you make fun of in middle school" moment when I saw Chesnaught. So cool

You know, this makes me think about a theoretical future Legends game with those three least popular starters as its starters. One of each type, from different Gens... it matches up perfectly, and it'd make a nice contrast from Arceus, where all of the starters were... if not super popular (though I will say Oshawott, at least in the circles I've been in, was never particularly UNpopular - It's chosen as the starter of vanilla BW and BW2 Nuzlockes about as often as Snivy, and some of the most beloved/popular Gen 5 comics, including the third arc of the original Pokémon Hard Mode and Kynim's Myths of Unova, feature it as the starter of the protagonist!), at least reasonably well-liked already. For marketing reasons they'll probably never do it, but I think it'd be fun to have a Legends game where your starters are all those unorthodox, less popular picks. Give em some love and attention and all :p

Always nice to see others that love Popplio. Sprigatito is my fave Gen 9 Starter at the moment as well. Here are my faves too: Kanto: Charmander Johto: Cyndaquil Hoenn: All three Sinnoh: Turtwig and Chimchar Unova: Snivy Kalos: Fennekin Alola: Popplio Galar: Scorbunny Gen 9: Sprigatito

Popplio's final evolution was majestic, and I definitely did not name it a space duck. Otherwise, favorites for me are: Kanto: all, but Squirtle being the highest Johto: Cyndiquill Hoenn: all, Treeko being the highest barely Sinnoh: Piplup Unova: Oshawatt Kalos: Froakie Alola: Popplio and Rowlet Galar: Sobble Gen 9: leaning towards the grass starter.

has anyone ever thought that chikorita doesnt look like a starter Pokémon along with the other 2 evolutions, but especially its last evolution is like when a Pokémon trainer encounters an exeggutor.
