I should put the word results in quotes though, because I'm pretty sure many votes randomly disappeared. Anyway, the gen 4 trio is the big favorite, with 51 votes out of 124, followed by gen 3 with 35, 1 and 2 tied at 18, and gen 5 could only get two votes. Even after all these years, it seems like these guys left us an everlasting sour taste.
I wanted to follow this up with another poll, but I think I'll wait a while for the polls to fix themselves before doing it.
Looks like viability in-game is the name of the game here. All three of gen 4's starters are powerful and useful, while gen 3 only lags slightly behind. Gens 1 and 2 had a mixture of good and bad, with Feraligatr and Venusaur being decent and the rest just OK.
ReplyDeleteAnd then we have gen 5, where it's almost unanimously agreed that the starters are trash. Hopefully gen 6 will fix that.
What was the main problem with the Gen V starters? The designs, the typing, the stats, or all three?
ReplyDeleteAll of the above, I'd say.
DeleteWait, TWO PEOPLE ACTUALLY THINK THE GEN FIVE STARTERS ARE THE BEST?!...
ReplyDeleteI'mma say trolls.
