Also new starters yay.
EDIT: Sobble is growing on me way more than expected.
Showing 1-10 of 25 items
#24 - Chimchar - F Tier (↓5) Their HAIR is POOP.
#23 - Grookey - D- Tier (New) Grookey does not look like a friend. Grookey looks like a fraud trying to pass themself off as a friend to gain your trust. And then it feasts.
#22 - Tepig - D Tier (↓4) It's been nine years since the black and white starters were announced and Tepig is still wearing a diaper. I'm concerned for their health.
#21 - Turtwig - D Tier (↓4) Gen 3 and Gen 4 were tied to generational leaps in Nintendo Handhelds, which lead to Pokemon designs with increased detail and more colours. Which is the exact opposite of what you want out of Pokemon designs. Less is more and Turtwig is *the* example of this in the starters (at least until Grookey came along). Turtwig is a good idea with a great silhouette, but is ruined by too many details, too many colours, and... whatever those feet are supposed to be.
#20 - Chespin - D+ Tier (↓6) Another great example of taking away from a design by adding way too many distracting features. They get points above Turtwig cause their hood is cute, even if it makes no sense.
#19 - Popplio - D+ Tier (↑1) Popplio is so adorable, but the clown motif really drags it to the bottom of the list. Don't worry little buddy. You'll get your revenge in the evolved lists.
#18 - Mudkip - D+ Tier (↑3) Okay, some people like you Mudkip, for whatever reason. Your smile is pretty cute, even if you have a lot wrong with your design.
#17 - Froakie - C- Tier (↓7) Time has not been kind to Froakie's design. Again, too complicated and whatever that cloud thing is on their back does a real number on their silhouette. Also we never figured out what the heck those glasses looking things are.
#16 - Treecko - C- Tier (↓3) Head still looks like a butt.
#15 - Torchic - C Tier (No change) Okay, okay, Torchic is alright I guess. I still think their half bill half beak mouth is lame.
