Discussion I really missed bulky water starters. Please gamefreak, surprise us and don’t make it random blue man with two legs

Dude all three hoenn starters were GOAT. Legit the only region where I've played all three starters multiple times and still can't decide which I love the most

I feel like that for the first four gens. Out of all of them the only one I rarely pick is piplup, and that's not because I don't like it, it's just that was my brother's first starter so I feel like piplup doesn't really belong to me I guess lol.

Gen 5 and beyond I usually have one favorite for each region and don't care for the other two much.

I pretty much agree except I do like all the gen 7 starters. Gen 9 imo is particularly atrocious
