#I mean I didn't design sobble

[asknarashikari]

Opinions on each of the starter Pokemon, Kari.

I'll preface this post by saying that 1) I'm kinda biased towards water types and 2) I haven't actually played a Pokemon game since HG/SS, so my opinions have more to do with how I like them just from a design/lore perspective and their appearances in other media (like the anime) than their competitive viability

With that out of the way... let's go~

Bulbasaur - Still one of the most underrated starters I think. I loved Ash's Bulbasaur in the anime, he was one sassy bitch lol

Charmander - A touch overexposed, but for good reason. Who doesn't love a fire breathing dragon buddy

Squirtle - I love the concept, but honestly most of my fondness for it comes from Ash's Squirtle. The one with the glasses

Pikachu - I mean, it's the mascot of the series. I don't think I can hate it even if I tried. It's cute and we all know it

Eevee - I'm kinda meh on the whole line tbh... and the Eevee you get as a starter can't evolve anyways...

Chikorita - Honestly probably the most forgettable of the starters. I don't really think much of it

Cyndaquil - It's a cute little shrew thing that evolves into a honey badger. Okay I guess? Hisuian Typholosion was needed badly

Totodile - Look, Ash's Totodile being a happy dancy lil guy was all they needed to make me love it

Treecko - A bunch of Poketubers I watch regularly are fond of it, and although I see the appeal, I'm just okay on it

Torchic - I love the whole line tbh, but I still haven't gotten over my cousin's kid saying Combusken looks like a dick.

Mudkip - My answer to the "Do you like Mudkips?" meme is "No, I absolutely adore Mudkips and will die for them"

Turtwig - Probably the most underrated of the Sinnoh starters and I kinda see why people struggle to use it

Chimchar - I see the appeal, even if I never used it as a starter myself. I also got attached to it because of Ash's Chimchar

Piplup - Piplup was my first starter so I adore it a lot... It's just so full of personality whenever I see it. Project Pochama was lit

Snivy - All I know about it is the infamous episode where Ash's Pikachu lost to one at the start of B/W

Pignite - Kinda went overboard with the Fire/Fighting combi at this point... also it's not really appealing in anyway lol

Oshawott - I think it has the most likeable personality of the starters? The scalchop thing is really cute

Chespin - Chespin's evolutions are... something. Poor guy got the short end of the design stick

Fennekin - I think it has the best concept of the three Kalos starters. Yes, even more than ninja frogman

Froakie - I think they were trying to turn it into Charizard 2.0 and... I guess it worked for a while? I like it well enough I guess

Rowlet - The cutest borb (birb+orb) turning into a badass ghost archer? Yes please! Also, Ash's Rowlet was hilarious in S&M

Litten - I guess I was just thankful they didn't make it Fighting type again lol

Popplio - It's a cute little thing, I don't understand why people didn't like it when it was first revealed

Grookey - I may have compared it to one Banjou Ryuuga when it was revealed lol. Ryuuga's my fave 2nd Rider though...

Scorbunny - It's a cute lil bunny, how could I hate it? It also seemed to have the most personality out of the Galar starters

Sobble - *gathers him into my arms* I will protect this one with my life even if it evolves into lizard James Bond

Sprigatito - Do I want a cat that can knead me and make me kinda high? ...Maybe

Fuecoco - It's a happy lil fire croc! It looks so wholesome! Its head is empty but I don't care!

Quaxly - I would like to shake the hand of the god who thought gaylord samba peacock-duck thing would make for a great starter

all of the gen 8 finals evolutions suck really I didnt cry I just did a disgusted face and decided I was never going to evolve my sobble really all of gen 8 was a pretty big disappointment

SOBBLE! Ugh I could kiss you! I forgot to little guy's name and it was bugging me. But yeah no I had picked Sobble too and I was like why is he so fucking ugly.

I mean I think his last evo is cooler now that I get it. But overall it's just such an ugly design he looks like he was starved. And yeah Gen 8 was a disaster so glad I didn't play it.
