How did the grass starters go from the unpopular choice to the best overall designs? Only Rillaboom looks bad.

Lapras, Vaporeon and Starmie mogged Blastoise hard.
you and OP are both homosexuals
Sceptile is pretty much tied with Blaziken.
This, plus Sceptile was competing with both Treecko and Grovyle in the top 30, with Blaziken's evos nowhere close, and still beat Blaziken by a few hundred votes. I'd say Sceptile is easily the more popular of the two
Based
Makes me sad they they continue to shill Blaziken despite Sceptile being more popular. I love them both, but Sceptile’s my favorite.
Funny enough, same exact thing with Decidueye. Incineroar seems to be pushed a bit more, despite not being as popular if I’m not mistaken.
Feels good to see Meowscarada pushed so much. Grass finally wins a Gen.
>Incineroar seems to be pushed a bit more, despite not being as popular if I’m not mistaken
That's because of baracat being made a prime VGCmon, both the cat and owl were pushed (Decidueye even got a regional form), but the owl just can't beat Aslowla stats on top of grass being ass a typing.
Meow has better function due to being popular all around, and the other starters being either way too complicated (skeledirge) or unpopular (quaquaval), and having some middle road use in early VGC
except quiladin or whatever the frick, the whole lines are mid at worst and grovyle at best
Venusaur: 8/10
Meganium: 5/10
Sceptile 9/10
Torterra: 10/10
Serperior: 6/10
Chesnaught: 5/10
Decidueye: 7/10
Rillaboom: 3/10
Meowscarada: 0/10
If anything, they got worse.
Chesnaught should be less than or equal to Rillaboom.
In general starters have gotten worse over time. But had some serious winners in newer games like Sceptile, Torterra, Serperior, and Decidueye.
Agreed, grass starters for the first 3-4 gens were kino
Why does this board circlejerk Torterra so hard? It's good, but not fricking 10/10 good.
Fire used to be shilled like crazy every generation but they've been dropping the ball hard with fire starters lately and water has always been a mixed bag so grassgays are on the rise. We finally got the shill starter spot too, though honestly by default...
Massive portion of this board and general playerbase started with Gen 4.
Just because you're a zoomer doesn't mean all the millennial posters stopped existing. BW hate threads are not trolling by the way, they're genuine.
>bringing up unova out of nowhere
You alright, sis?
I don't even know which gen Unova is but I'm assuming you mean gen 5, you're delusional.
Again, asking how Gen 5 has anything to do with my post
Are you dumb? If you started with gen 4 then of course you'd think gen 5 is good and not extremely shitty.
But nothing in my post had anything to do with unova, the original reply was in response to someone asking why torterra was rated so highly, how did you to gen 5 from that?
>the original reply was in response to someone asking why torterra was rated so highly
I don't care, I'm talking to
specifically that claimed most people on here started with Gen 4 which is a blatant lie and cope.
what is the truth then?
For the 3rd time, what the frick does that have to do with Gen 5. Why did you bring it up unprompted? Are you actually alright, sis?
>Doggy style florian
unf
Why do you care so much about gen 5? I sure don't, which is exactly why I talked shit about it. You're the only one that wants to discuss that shitty gen here.
I don't think you're actually alright, sis...
If someone insults someone for being underage and liking gen 6 does that mean they can't talk shit about gens 7-9? You're not the brightest person on this board.
neither of those points make
a post that makes any sense. it looks like he replied to the wrong post and is doubling down and refusing to admit it lol
Zoomer detected.
you just confirmed it
actual schizophrenia being witnessed
Zoomers like gen 5 more than other people, that's a pretty accepted fact.
no?
>out of nowhere
He literally claimed everyone was a zoomer that started with gen 4 you dumbass.
Because he is
Simple as
Deshitueye is just as much of fursuit garbage as any of the surrounding starters, gay.
Decidueye is a dogshit starter carried by controversy and a god tier first stage
Hisuian Decidueye otherwise is based, but since it has actual competition, people see how "bad" it is.
based
>trashnime defines popularity

>Anime chooses the most liked starter according by fans
Correct rillaboomer
>according to fans
Rillaboom has its flaws, such as having the worst inspiration, worst type, as well as having the worst signature move and of course shipping autism over-inflating Cinderace and Inteleon's popularity even more, but that's irrelevant.
Yes, trashnime manipulates people. For example, something that a pokemon has in its pokedex can be perfectly explored in the anime, and not in the games, and this makes people like a species more.
Clearly people would rather choose a purple pile of goo over a badass rhino/rabbit because of the design, not because it was an Ashmon.
>Trashnime manipulates people.
They shilled leon's rillaboom into making it the beast that sweeped diantha's team and that wasn't still enough to brainwash people into liking it this simply means he's just that shit
Nah, Rillaboom is based. Meowscarada is the worst designed one.
>Nah, Rillaboom is based. Meowscarada is the worst designed one.
They were always one of the best choices if it wasn't the fire type, water has had it far worse.

All breddy gud, only gen i didn't go grass were gens 3 and 6, Sceptile is good but not as good as the other two, Chespin was cut but Quilladin is the worst starter ever.
Everyone saying Meganium is bad is just a gameplaygay. The design is 10/10.
>The design is 10/10
Johturds are delusional
no you gay c**t the design is just that good
>johturd
I hope you know that term is now going to be heavily associated with the shartygay just like "borts" is with discord.
Decidueye is a horrible design and ruined its line.
Venusaur and Sceptile are the only grass starters I like. For water it's Blastoise, Swampert, and Samurott. For fire it's Charizard, and Typhlosion.
are you baiting? the designs almost literally only get worse

every other thread I enter has some autist spamming "shitnoh" and "shatinum" or moronic genwarring about gen 5.
unironically have better pokemon discussion on Ganker these days
I don't like gen 4 either if that makes you cope any better.
Yas or Nah
I love the idea but it still looks dumb
titty cancer
Using its chest as drums makes sense, but the overall design of this one just looks worse.
Someone needs to make a Zarude + Rillaboom fusion. A perfect blend of those two would be a phenomenal starter.
How did we go from cool dinosaurs and reptiles to the catgirl
Japanese franchise
what the hell is wrong with the Japanese
Venusaur: Least popular
Meganium: Also least popular
Sceptile: Probably a three way tie, all hoenn starters are well liked
Torterra: Honestly not sure, maybe the least popular? I think the sinnoh starters are all pretty well liked too
Serperior: Easily the most popular
Chesnaught: Does anyone actually like this thing?
Decidueye: Probably in the middle of the three
Rillaboom: Pretty sure the three galar starters are all equally hated
Meowscarada: Most popular, only because the fandom are all horny bastards
>Pretty sure the three galar starters are all equally hated
Not really?
Chespin is the worst starter of them all.
(OP)
Venusaur: Popular.
Meganium: Least popular. Worst starter of all, not just grass.
Sceptile: Probably a three way tie, all Hoenn starters are well liked.
Torterra: Probably a three way tie, all Sinnoh starters are well liked.
Serperior: The supreme grass starter.
Chesnaught: Chespin looks cool, the bigger forms look lame, especially the middle one.
Decidueye: Everyone's choice Alola starter.
Rillaboom: Pretty sure the three Galar starters are all equally hated.
Meowscarada: Most popular, only because the duck is shit and the crocodile isn't cuddly. I still like the crocodile the best, frick you.

U fricking wot mate?
Apart from standouts like Decidueye and Meowscarada, Grass has always been consistently the least popular or middling from day 1
>Vensaur
Mogged by the other 2
>Meganium
I don't even need to explain this one
>Sceptile
The only one where you can say all 3 Starters are based
>Torterra
Mogged by cute penguin and Sun Wukong
>Serperior
Better than the pig I guess
>Chesnaught
KEK
>Decidueye
First time where the Grass Starter is genuinely the most popular
>Rillaboom
Least popular of its trio. Made more embarrassing given it's "competition"
>Meowscarada
Most Popular of its trio. Tho that is admittedly not a very high bar considering it's "competition"
>Venusaur mogged by Blastoise
>All gen 3 starters look good
>Torterra worse than Infergaype
Meganium is the worst starter of all time for being extremely forgettable and bland
Water is the worst
It got the turtle Digimon and gay gator
.
> rillaboom is a monkey, monkey = Black person, I hate it hurdur
/vp/ tryhardness is always so stale
I like Chesnaught
Based, Chesnaught is too hated. If its limbs weren't so long and stiff looking it'd be better but fundamentally it's not a bad design
It would become more liked if it's shiny palette was the default
I think it needs the shield on its default palette too tbh
Sceptile was always popular and Venusaur and Torterra became popular once everyone outgrew their "hating on quadrupeds for no reason" phase and realized they were awesome
>Venusaur
cool toad/dinosaur for boys
>Meganium
cool dinosaur for girls
>Sceptile
cool dinosaur
>Torterra
cool dinosaur turtle
>Serperior
beautiful royal snake
>Chesnaught
good knight bromon
>Decideueye
flawed design but still cool. the Hisuan is even better.
>Rillaboom
cool gorrilla
>Meowscarada
Another garbage Lucario clone like Braixen and Cinderace
>How did the grass starters go from the unpopular choice to the best overall designs?
They started pandering to furgays in Gen 9. Everything before then was mid at best with notable lows being 2, 4 and 8.
>Venusaur
Cool, but I like Ivysaur more.
>Meganium
Fun. I could see myself riding one around or having it help me do yard work.
>Sceptile
I prefer Grovyle. Sceptile is a downgrade.
>Torterra
Really cool. My only complaint is that Turtwig and Grotle are so mid, but at least the wait is worth it.
>Serperior
One of my favorite Pokemon. Really cool. Should've been grass/poison tho.
>Chesnaught
I actually like it, Chespin is really cute and Chesnaught would've been way more liked if they hadn't given it suck a shit battle pose.
>Decidueye
Not a fan of it. I like Dartix a lot more. Hate the Hisui one.
>Rillaboom
Garbage.
>Meowscarada
I thought I liked it, but I don't really like it too much. I like the crooked smile and mask but the creepy hands really ruin it.
I hope the gen 10 grass starter is a reptile again. It's been a while.
Sceptile = Torterra > Decidueye > Chesnaught = Rillaboom > Serperior > Venusaur > Meganium >>> Meowscarada
Torterra is a fat ugly bastard only liked by contrarians on the internet. Chesnaught is the worst gen6 starter by a large margin. Maganium, Rillaboom and Grovile are all pretty mid.
Other than that, grass usually isn't an interesting choice, because it's not uncommon to find other grass types early on.
>Torterra is a fat ugly bastard only liked by contrarians on the internet
a giant turtle with a whole tree on its back is only liked by contrarians? How can you say this when actual ugly bastards like incineroar and rillaboom exist?
>a fat ugly turtle with part of my grandma's lawn glued to its back, is only liked by contrarians?
Yes.
Your grandma's yard is full of jagged rocks?
Maybe they should have made the gen4 starter literally just a tree, and nothing more. Since Torterra is so bad, that a tree is the highlight of its design? It'd be an improvement removing all the chaff attached to that tree.
You only like that uggomon because it's unpopular. A textbook contrarian.
I like it because it's a giant turtle with a tree on its back, and the Pokedex entry stating a herd of them look like a moving forest is cool. I don't base any of my identity on what Pokemon I do or don't like. Why are you so mad?
Incineroar and Rillaboom aren't ugly. If you said Skeledirge or whatever the frick it's name is then I'd agree.
Gen 8 was the first gen I went with grass cause I thought rillaboom looked the coolest out of the 3. I’d like him more and he’d be a mainstay on my team if he didn’t have the drumsticks. The drum could stay. Personally, I’d have preferred it be a bamboo bo staff or something
>Rillaboom looks bad
I want to frick Rillaboom, your argument is invalid.
