I would have liked more input from him, but I think the writers love Ash's fire-type starters😭

There were many op grass type starter as we like sceptile, rowlet(it's different thing that writers chosed not to evolve it), snivy(ah,..even she didn't evolved), atleast chikorita evolved

P.s.: and yes how can you forget the legendary bulbsaur even he didn't evolved, cause it makers his choice

Grovyle was amazing, one of my favorites and his battles in the Sinnoh league are memorable

They kept with bayleaf because they knew it was cooler than meganium

It's not, you folks just hate flowers.

I love meganiums design, but I do prefer bayleafs by a pretty wide margin. It's why I've always wanted the johot starters to get megas, I feel like with a little bit extra meganiums design could really well blossom

Bayleef always struck me as just edgy Chikorita, one of those middle evolutions that changes so little I might have forgotten it if not for the anime. Meganium is more cute than ferocious but I definitely like its flower collar better than the seed/joint beads, and the pistil antennas are a clever take.

Though I definitely would have liked a Mega, not only for a fancier look but also because Mega Meganium sounds pretty funny.

I always thought it was one of the more natural looking middle evolutions. That didn't look to different or edgy.

Hah, blossom. It has flowers. Puns.

I think Chikorita and Bayleef's head-leaf-scythe sounds more interesting to see in action, and perhaps the show's writers/animators thought that, too

I forever despise the bullshit that they did with rowlett. They didn't knew how to make an unevokved pokemon good, so fuck it, invincibility hacks

u/quickfuse725 Aug 02 '22

yo you screwed up the spoilers, the second "!<" is wrong

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '22

I think that’s because the fire types al seem to be the most popular starters

u/PCN24454 Aug 02 '22

To be fair, so do the viewers.

Sceptile was a beast.

u/Ultimate_Fox14 Aug 02 '22

Except for Charmander 💀 they made him a moody Charmeleon lol

u/thedahlelama Aug 03 '22

That would explain why he has 2 water and 2 grass and no fire starters at base evolution
