I have no idea what you're talking about.

The only good one in that picture is Swampert. True story.

 

[ohlawd]

gross

please

 

[BriseFlots]

Such a shame that all of the fire starters evolve into awful monstrosities. Charizard is the only exception, but its design is so plain.

I remain optimistic for Fennekin.

Blaziken is cool

Swampert and Feraligatr are the only bad ones

No.

Where is the grass starter one? I'd be curious to see it.

Also in your picture, only pengoleon looks good.

Lies and slander. Anyway, here's the last one, just for completeness' sake.

 

[Xux]

Fennekin was, remains an will be the best starter of this gen.
Because he's the fire starter.

Typhlosion's such a fucking boss. God, I love it so much. Until Flareon gets Tactician and a fire-type Quick Attack, it's definitely the coolest fire-type Pokemon.

Dat laziness. Edit: talking about the pokemon, of course.

And I almost forgot, a link to the artist.

[ohlawd]

looking at the evidence brought forthwith, the best designs as a whole are
Grass > Water > Fire

 

[zroid]

Grass is definitely the best :3

Except for Sceptile, fuuuuuck Sceptile. Completely ruined an otherwise awesome starter line!

 

[DigitalOp]

I must admit .... Serperior looked weak as shit in the B/W2 anime trailer, its the only starter in the entire series I dont care for. Id never own it :/

 

[BriseFlots]

No, it's the other way around.

fuuuuuuuuckin' hell.

Sceptile is 2nd best after Torterra.

No, it's the other way around.

So wrong I'm tearing up.

Man this thread has made a complete halt.

Gen 1 and 2 starters are solid. Anything after that is a mess. Blaziken being the exception because of the more... Mature art.....

They're just so... chill.

 

[Grakl]

They're just so... chill.

Yep.

 

[ohlawd]

They're just so... chill.

They're the best designed group of starters. They've earned the right to chill.

 

[PK Gaming]

oh my god these drawings are FUCKING AMAZING.

Look at dem fire starters kicking ass
Look at dem water starters, getting ready to start a fight
Look at dem grass starters... doing nothing hahaha

It's like they want to take a break.

<3 The Seperior in there :3

 

[JazzmanZ]

jesus, how can there be over 10,000 when all we know about is the damn starters and box legends right now?

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Guys; now that there are six generations of starters, what'll I do with my tote bage?

It feels so obsolete...

It's why I can never pick Oshawott as my starter. His second form is pretty neat, but the final one is just horrid. I almost did it this time, as I'm replaying Black and will be starting White 2 after, but nope.

They share a sea based mammal theme, and the whole weaponry based on shells/etc. Samurott is great.

How about this, though:

That is one of the biggest "has nothing to do with the other" evolutions.

God, I wish I could draw.

Aside from Venusaur, the grass starters pretty neat. I always avoided them for one reason or another but I actually think they're pretty okay.

I don't like Typhlosion much unfortunately. It just looks... boring.

Lately we tend to malign overdesigning of Pokemon, but Typhlosion is definitely a case of the opposite, in my view.

[cat litter]

Those pictures are pretty good

Water- all the designs are consistently cool. Blastoise being the coolest to me, but you can never really go wrong with water camp

Grass- venasaur was my first pick, so Ive always been partial to the grass squad. Sceptile's prob my fav of the ruby games. I like em all cept Meganium...

Fire - typlosion and zard are bad as fuq, the rest I dont really care about

....imo

Also the fennekin haters can go sit down, you aint about dis life

 

[Kiryu]

The best decision to ever make is...

Pick Water Starter because

Charmander are overrated starter of all the time and Bulbasaur are very underrated starter that you won't want to go with...

Squirtle can beat the overrated starter and not everyone use bulbasaur a lot so Water starter's best option to start in Red/Blue/Yellow.

I agree. The base idea was good though., but somehow, gen II starters completely missed their last evo.

I mean look at Meganium, for example: the second stage was so much better than him.

Starters by gen:

IV > III > I > II > V

 

[Shahadan]

Oshawott's final form is amazing >(

On a unrelated note I really hope to see the appearance of Sound type (like it should have in Ruby/Sapphire) and maybe an evolution for Chatot. Love its design.

Sound is essentially Normal type, though.

You get all the starters in Yellow.

Also there's some two other pics but it's gonna wait

 

[ohlawd]

any anime footage of Samurott standing on its back legs like a FFXIII Behemoth?

I know. I was just saying that water starter is the best starter to go with in Kanto Region. . . :O

The fire starters are the worst :/ At least you saved the best for last.
