Gen 3&4 starters were the peak of starter evolutions. It’s been a decline since

The Hisuian starters are great(more interesting than their classic forms), but agreed otherwise

They're better than the swish starters but samurott in oarticular is still not great

1: classics
2: solid
3: going in a new direction and doing it well
4: very solid
5: quality slipped a bit but not by too much, although another fire/fighting is a bit silly
6: seems to have settled on always being bipedal... not a fan but at least the designs aren't terrible on their own
7: what the fuck are you doing
8: jesus fucking christ stop this

Not really. Gen 5 was the worst and they haven't made anything remotely as bad since.

I'm happy to disagree I like the more sleek/agile approach of the new version and the signature move looks like a iaijutsu anime slash

Quadrapedal so it's still fucking retarded. How are you gonna be a quadrapedal swordsman but don't even hold the fucking thing in your mouth just awkwardly tripods.

shhh be quiet user you're going to trigger the samurottard

7 > 6 > 5 > my small wiener turns into a mon > 8

Typhlosion has some missed potential and Samurott is too similar to the original, but otherwise agreed.

Because it already has a giant horn and a blade tail if it needs to attack without using it's limbs? Also you forget that its a water type, not strictly a land animal, so in its ideal setting its hands would be unoccupied

>3
you wish, Blaziken completely wrecks it all

cute pic, silly words.

Holy shit taste

>hold the fucking thing in your mouth
that shit is dumb and Zacian is awful for this reason

Top tier are gen 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 with also the base ones for gen 8 which only fail at last stage. With also a clear peaking in gen 5, 6 and 7, and he'll, 9 too if it wasn't that the cat is just too vague and similar to Litten.

I don't see how they're "declining".

Blaziken fucking sucks zoomer

Furry spotted.

Gen 9 starters already looking shit, not a good start

same characters with different skins
