The Worst Starter Pokemon from Each Region

[@azizaafrin1173]

Blame the player. Its not the pokemons fault their trainers suck. And he makes the dumbest decisions. A few examples il give u. In a vid where he ranked fire starters. He said that hisuian typhlosion is ugly and worse than normal one. But h-typhlosion is way better than normal one. And he called blastoise "just a turtle" when charizards literally just a fire breathing dragon. And he keeps hating on inteleon. And inteleons actually good. And in this vid he ranked inteleon and delphox as the worst starters bcuz of its design but inteleons design is creative. He's a invisible lizard and delphox is a wizard fox. But wut about chestnaught? He's even uglier than delphox. I'm not trying to glaze but he ranked blaistoise as bad bcuz it's not popular and he said swampert is bad even though sceptile is worse. Sceptiles not rlly that good and his mega is also not that good. He's supposed to rank them of how they r in their region bit he brings up stuff like design, competitive and popularity. And inteleons based off of a basilisk which is a type of lizard which is skinny and has thin hind legs.

[@eljordinio7647]

@azizaafrin1173 if the Pokemon themselves cannot prove to be viable then the fault is obvious. Trainers can only do so much before they have to face facts that some Pokemon are simply no good

[@eljordinio7647]

@azizaafrin1173 I like Inteleon too but even I can't deny how much missed potential it had If it has the same sort of design but bulkier, more reptile like instead of human, the cape-like membrane on its back was larger, and MAYBE it was able to go on all fours like skeledirge, people might actually appreciate it more

[@nickdentoom1173]

@@crewdroid7146 The problem is that he cannot separate design, gameplay, popularity and competitive viability, which he should have done. Now his video seems kinda biased against certain Pokemon, which is unwarranted if we seperate them. For example - him destroying Blastoise not being the best in-game, while he says Charizard is better in-game, while its already proven that Charizard is actually the worse Kanto starter from an in-game perspective. That alone already destroys the whole video in itself. Its the same later on with Swampert, Torterra and Delphox, who all are the best in-game from a type specialist perspective.

Gonna have to disagree with your pick for Gen 5. Emboar to most people is the worst Unova starter. The third fire/fighting starter in a row. Not to mention its design is horrible and its stats aren't any good either.

I'm not taking that "Third Fire/Fighting starter in a row" seriously anymore because some people still hate on Delphox for ear fluff, Cinderace for Bipedal/mono typed and Incineroar also for 4 legs to 2.

[@oliverorchard6774]

Emboar is very good in a Gen 5 playthrough though, as its typing is useful for both the early and late game. Samurott on the other hand is pretty average in a region that the water typing doesn't do well in, with its only positive being that it is one of the few decent water type options in Gen 5. Samurott as well was competitively worse than Emboar in most regions after gen 5, with it only becoming way better after getting its Hisuian form from Gen 9 onwards.

[@NoelSVarghese-d25g]

In terms of base designs alone, I think the Paldea starters are one of the best among all the starter trios. You've got everything you need or expect from a partner Pokémon. You have the cute and cuddly Sprigatito, the goofy but adorable Fuecoco and the cool, calm and stylish Quaxley. Though their evolutions are a major let down, as a Pokémon fan for almost 20 years, these 3 are my personal favourite trio from all of Pokémon.

[@seanwilliams823]

I heard the voice and knew that this video equates opinion to fact

[@dubhedubhe]

While I don't agree with ALL of the picks, I do want to have my own breakdown on these choices. For Generation One, I think the thing that knocked Blastoise down was where the other two accel at. Charizard is like, the secondary face of Pokemon and Venusaur is arguably one of the best pokemon you could use in a Kanto Playthrough. Blastoise does a lot of things decently, but there isn't much it's actually notable on. It's okay in a playthrough, but as stated, there are arguably better Water Types you could use. It's fine in the meta game, but hasn't seen nearly as much success as the other two. And it's design is good, but compared to a Charizard and Venusaur, it does feel somewhat lackluster. While it did have some notability in being the face of Pokemon Blue, along with being Gary's Starter, it doesn't have much else going for it and that's what knocked it down. Generation Two is kind of obvious, it's almost unanimous that Meganium is just ok at best. Generation Three is one where, while I understand the reasoning, I feel that a better argument could be made against Sceptile. While yes, it is immensely popular among fans, in terms of everything else, it's lackluster. It's stats were made for it to be a Special Attacker, but it's moveset lacked a lot of what it needed to do that starting in Generation 3. It's probably the Hoenn Starter that has seen the least amount of competitive viability, and even with a Mega it wasn't very useful. However I do understand the argument of how it barely gets any spotlight, so I think it just falls to which lens you want to look at the Pokemon from. Generation Four I can agree with pretty much every point. While Torterra is one of my favorites, it just fundamentally doesn't work well. Generation Five, I think I can maybe agree with as well. While Hisuian Samurott can be surprisingly good in Singles with a Sharpness + Choice Band set, regular Samurott just doesn't have enough going for it. It's close between it and Emboar, but I think Emboar's Fighting Type gives it a slight edge over the pure Water Type that also has a pretty useless ability and a lack of representation. While Serperior doesn't do that well in the games, it can actually have some strong competitive usage, being in UU Singles, and at one point being in OU. It also has Trip, who, while not a beloved rival, still gives it some actual representation. Generation Six is... again, hard to say. While yes, I can understand your reasoning on Delphox being kind of shoved to the side for its pre-evolution, Chesnaught is arguably worse in battles due to it's 4x weakness to Flying, and it's weakness to Fairy. But again, it just depends on how you choose to look at it. I'd have to give worst to Chesnaught, but I respect the choice. Generation Seven is one where I'll have to disagree. Decidueye is arguably worse then Primarina. If we're going off of what you said with how Braixen gets more focus then Delphox, couldn't the same be said for Decidueye? Rowlet is the one on Ash's team, not Decidueye. And neither of it's forms do particularly well in battles, whereas Primarina has a solid spot in Singles OU, and a great typing of Water/Fairy. Generation Eight, while I agree with your pick, I'm not a fan of how you explained the reasoning here. Cause while the design isn't great persay, that shouldn't be the main crux of your argument. I think adding that it's moveset could use some work would've also helped, but, again, I don't hate the choice, more the reasoning. Generation Nine, yeah, this one is kind of obvious too. Meowscarada is extremely fast and strong, and has a move that ALWAYS lands a Critical Hit. Crits are extremely powerful, so being able to pull one out whenever is really good. And Skeledirge has a niche in Ubers, due to its Unaware Ability, and the tools needed to set up while also healing itself. Quaquaval isn't bad, with access to Moxie + Aqua Step giving it decent sweeper potential, but the typing and lack of usable options for it's movepool drag it down. But overall, while I don't necessarily agree with some of your picks, I can respectfully understand WHY you made those decisions, and I think this was a good video, and a good reason for me to deep dive into my own opinions of the starters. Keep up the good work Minus!

[@bulborb8756]

i do agree that decidueye is worse then primarina, grass/ghost is just a far worse typing with how much it's weak to (then again grass is a pretty bad defensive type) and it's not nearly as good when compared to Incineroar being the the top cat of VGC and primarina being very solid with her amazing water/fairy typing gen 9 is a hard one i find since all 3 of the paldean starters are good, sure some may say that quaquaval is bad, but he is great, plus it's very inspired by Brazil when you look into it, so i'd say the gen 9 bunch are the most balanced

[@dubhedubhe]

[@oliverorchard6774]

Very well said. I agree with the choices for Gens 3 and 7 in this explanation, and yeah Chesnaught is probably slightly worse than Delphox, but it is close.

[@nickdentoom1173]

tbh...from an in-game perspective... if we look at all the type specialists per region (Only counting a region the starter debuts in obviously) Kanto Venusaur checks the most Type Specialists (Rock/Water/Ground/Grass), while being weak against three (Ice/Fire/Psychic) Blastoise follows in second... its strong against 2 (Rock/Ground) and weak against 2 (Grass/Electric). Charizard however is also strong against 2 (Ice/Grass), but weak against 3 (Water/Electric/Rock). The better water types you can use, also applies for the Charizard line, especially since those Fire types aren't weak against Electric and quad weak against Rock. So that cancels out Blastoise as well. Johto (The only debate here is the argument between Typhlosion and Feraligatr, since we can all agree that Meganium is the worst from an in-game perspective). Looking at it, Typhlosion is the better mon, cuz it has more advantages than Feraligatr (Who actually is only neutral against all Gym Leaders in fact) Hoenn (Swampert is the best starter, cuz no weakness at all against type specialists in the region) Sinnoh. The best in-game starter actually is Torterra, believe it or not. Torterra has three weaknesses, but where it excels at is the advantages.. It is strong against Rock/Water/Ground/Steel/Fire/Ground. Its weak against Ice/Bug/Fire. In D/P, Torterra is actually also the best starter to counter Cynthia, as it isn't weak to any of Cynthia's mons and has an advantage over 3 of them (Milotic/Gastrodon/Lucario). Whereas Infernape actually has the same amount of weaknesses as Torterra (Water/Ground/Psychic), it also has less advantages (Rock/Grass/Steel/Ice) + is weak against 3 of Cynthia's mons (Garchomp/Milotic/Gastrodon) and strong against only 2 of them. Gen 5 is hard to argue against Gen 6 here in lies a bias problem as well, mainly due to the anime favoring a certain Water type Ninja frog, while if we look at it from an in-game perspective, Delphox is actually the strongest starter, while Chesnaught is the weakest. Alola - Primarina, not even a contest Galar - Inteleon, not even a contest (Combining the 2 games, its overall the best mon, due to lack of Electric specialist, so it remains to have only 1 weakness) Paldea is kinda funny, as there is no strongest or weakest in-game starter, since all three excels in either one of the paths.

[@eljordinio7647]

@@nickdentoom1173 I already told you why torterra and delphox aren't the best starters yet you refuse to take into account anything besides type specialists and in delphox's case, the reoccuring fights you HAVE to deal with to progress in the game

[@levistokes3960]

Part of the reason meganium is so bad is because of the region it's in. Grass just does horrible in Johto. If any other grass starters were in Johto, it would also be the worse starter. People put down meganium but then don't think about the matchups. That's why it does better in Kanto, because grass has the best matchups. I will defend my boy meganium.

[@bulborb8756]

but since that's postgame, meganium is legit deadweight for the main story as the ONLY boss it's good against is Chuck, where as it loses to literally every boss in the game

Idk why, but both my favorite from Kanto, Hoenn and Galar are the lizards. Charizard, Sceptile and Inteleon are the best from their regions to me, even if Cinderace or Blaziken exist.

[@eljordinio7647]

If you want the real worst starter for unova in terms of a playthrough? The real answer is serperior Grass gets mostly curb stomped throughout the region with Clay and Marlon being the only good matchups for it, while opponents like Roxie, Burgh, Elesa to an extent, Skyla, Brycen, Drayden and Alder will clobber Serperior Not only is it suffering from not being dual typed, but unlike Samurott, Serperior basically had very few coverage options that will help it, especially strong ones I don't care if it's a competitive threat with contrary, this is about a regular unova playthrough and you have no control over what abilities serperior gets there If it had coverage like rock, ground, psychic, ghost, dark, poison and stronger flying and fighting coverage, it might actually be one of the best starters for unova Unfortunately people blatantly ignore thst because of competitive battling. Greninja is also a competitive threat and IT'S actually usable in a playthrough of Kalos

[@nickdentoom1173]

Despite Greninja being usable in Kalos in a playthrough, its not the best in Kalos despite that though, Delphox reigns supreme in-game.

[@eljordinio7647]

@nickdentoom1173 eryzo would like a word with you about that. He already went through what's statistically the best starter and like it or not, Greninja is the one who reigns supreme

[@nickdentoom1173]

@@eljordinio7647 Eryzo is wrong about that one... Delphox Strong against: Bug/Fighting/Grass/Ice/Steel (5) Weak against: Rock/Water (2) Greninja Strong against Rock/Fairy/Fire (3) Weak against Bug/Fighting/Grass/Electric/Fairy (5). So Eryzo was saying what exactly... their Greninja bias is showing. You shouldn't take everything a youtuber says at face value and do your own research.

[@eljordinio7647]

@nickdentoom1173 he did more research than you think if you think someone like him is wrong. He also took speed into account, something greninja has that the other starters don't cos it doesn't matter if you're at a type disadvantage if the faster Pokemon can strike and kill first Only reason you're saying otherwise is cos you hate greninja with a burning passion. You've shot it down and discredited it pretty much everywhere, including here

[@nickdentoom1173]

@@eljordinio7647 Greninja is literally my favorite Kalos starter, so you are wrong on that regard as well.. however, i am not a blind fanboy and can see the flaws. Speed is overrated, since where the f is speed gonna bring you if you cannot even take neutral hits due to your piss-poor defenses. Greninja is just not as good as many people want it to be... in a Kalos playthrough its mediocre at best against the type specialists, where Delphox succeeds, Greninja fails. Speed is also the only thing Greninja has going for it... Delphox is bulkier and has higher special attack than Greninja as well, so Delphox, despite being slower (104 speed is nothing to sneeze at though), it even hits harder than Greninja (Who only has 107 special attack against Delphox 114). So no... Eryzo didn't do its research properly, since Delphox is miles better than Greninja during in-game playthrough. Not only that, if we take stats into account, we also have to take moveset into account as well and even then Delphox outclasses Greninja, since Greninja has a shallow movepool compared to Delphox, who has more coverage moves in its arsenal as well.

@thatboyminus meowscarada is the embodiment of pure "Glazing". 1. It's stands on two legs after being on just four legs in first stage. 2. The design doesn't really look all that good it's a superhero pokemon version of zoro the swordsman and even then the design failed halfway. So it's just the grass form of delphox. 3. The typing is pretty bad. But the moment you've been waiting for meowscarada is overrated for it's design like we all didn't know why it's liked 😒 It doesn't take a fith grader to know that. So yeah people like it for it's looks it's in Ou but in singles it sucks.
