The Union Room - For general chatting about Pokémon!

Yeah, I don't much like the starters of Sinnoh, despite it being my favorite region overall. I always choose Chimchar in the end though, because Fire is my favorite overall type, and I don't care if it makes the first gym a pain!

And Lunar, I completely agree. Their outfits are awesome anyway, but they're awesomer in Platinum!

 

Sinnoh improved a lot of different aspects of Pokémon which I thought was amazing. The physical special split was super important and all the cross generation evolution made it worthwhile. Gen 4 was really amazing for me with all the cute and pretty Pokémon, the plot itself was a major aspect of the game, which honestly made me more interested. The design of the cities and gyms felt really unique and special, and I could say a boatload more for the entire game.

 

I liked gen 6 the best. I always choose Froakie

 

Gen. VI and Gen. V are tied for my faves; really love a lot about about XY and BW/BW2 and what they brought to the world of Pokémon. ORAS are OK, but they aren't as great as I had hoped.

 

I really liked D/P.. though the new Pokémon introduced were my least favorite. Sinnoh starters were also my least favorite of the group, with second and sixth gen starters coming in on top. Eee lovely Chikorita and Chespin. <3 now I want to catch up with the Pokémon anime.

 

I've always been a fan of the Sinnoh games including the starters in general. Chimchar has been one of my favorite fire starter. Despite it's lack of movesets I always enjoyed using that Pokémon and I adore it's evolutions form. I wasn't a huge fan of Empoleon when I used him right after Infernape. It wasn't the same for me and it kept dying a lot it seemed like. I'll be honest with you but I never used Turtwig yet. I was starting to when I restarted the game but I ended up not finishing it. I only got up to Grotle but that was it. Turtwig wasn't bad but I still loved my Chimchar. I miss the Sinnoh region. I don't know I think my least favorite would have to be Unova. As much as I loved Unova the starters didn't kick into me. I tried Snivy but I didn't like it that much, Tepig was okay but I always enjoyed Oshawott. They weren't my favorite out of the starter groups.

 

I've always loved black 2 the best

 

Black and White 2 are really good! I just love Unova so much though.

But yeah, Turtwig is one of those starters I hardly ever used haha. Torterra didn't start clicking with me until veery recently and even then Turtwig and Grotle are still meh.

 

re: Unova starters, I looooove Snivy and its evos. so much, but the other two are subpar. I really disliked that Tepig ended up being yet another Fire/Fighting type upon evolving; really wish it were Fire/Ground like in BlazeBlack/VoltWhite. As for Sinnoh starters, I love Infernape and Empoleon <3 (I really hate Piplup, though. Blame anime!Dawn's Piplup.) Torterra's OK, but its 4x weakness to Ice isn't really lovely.

 

Yeah I felt the same way. Torterra has a cool design yes (I didn't like Turtwig or Grotle's design much) but it just didn't seem as great compared to the other two starters. I heard good things about Turtwig from my offline friends who originally played D/P/PL so I might try it out again whenever I get the chance to.

 

I love the generation 4 starters overall more than any other generation. Platinum was my favorite game until Omega Ruby rolled around. Torterra has such an amazing re-usability to it just like Staraptor. I'll probably play through it again soon.

 

Are we talking about the best set of starters? Cause that's obviously Hoenn's set. XD

 

No way man, Kalos' starters were much better! Delphox is a fire wizard fox, Greninja is a water ninja frog, and Chesnaught is... Well, at least two out of three are awesome...

 

No Blaziken, Sceptile and Swampert are way cooler.

 

Blaziken is about as overhyped as it gets; Swampert is a bulk monster with derpy eyes; and Sceptile is inferior to Grovyle, design-wise.

 

Greninja is overhyped as well, Delphox has some ear hair issues and Chesnaught has a little bit of a weird design.

 

Yes. This. Definately this. Grovyle is awesomazing, but Sceptile is a dinosaur with a Christmas tree on its tail. Well hey, that's just my opinion, obviously.
