They're no Hoenn or Sinnoh starters but they aight 🤷‍♂️

Hey, trainers! This is a community moderation bot.

I chose fuecoco bc he looks like he has no thoughts. I’m so glad I did.

Same how could I say no to his derpy little face

Not a single thought going through his mind. I love him

Best signature move IMO of the the starters

little dude looked like a derpy idiot and i had to pick him.

same here. love that guy.

I don’t understand why the other 2 are weirdly sexy?

And that's why mine is named Empty Headed

Love his final evo’s cry. Sounds so cool to let him loose on wild Pokémon every time

I was between him and sprigatito leaning toward fuecoco but what sent me over the edge was him burning the orange in the preview, I was sold

love him sm, but chose quaxly for armarouge/ceruledge i am so sad :(

Skeledirge is a fucking boss and I’m so happy I chose Fuecoco. That little idiot won my heart in the first couple minutes of meeting the starters

Same. I wanted to pick Sprigatito, but the instant I saw Fuecoco's derpy little face, I changed my mind. Shame his movepool is about as deep as a puddle, but that seems to be the case with like half of all fire starters.

I can't get past the fact his flames look drawn on by a crayon

It's just a shame we don't get to see official 2D art before seeing the 3D sprites anymore. I feel like those usually really help with appreciating the designs.

For me, it's the opposite. I find most Pokemon since XY have been designed with 3D in mind first, so I personally find the 2D art misses a lot that the 3D model brings to light.

Game freak: “They want a four legged?”

Fire croc 4eva

He’s just a silly little guy

Only one that feels like a real Pokémon and not a furry.

Worse than I hoped for, better than I feared.

You don’t like the Mirror B bird? Shame.

Honestly I chose Quaquaval and the only drawback for me is the idle sprite. I still think it's a really clean design and has cool inspirations and a nice toolkit in battle but...holy shit, they dropped the ball on the animations

If you like ducks, you'll love the millions of psyducks and golducks near every single body of water in every single region!

Quaxlys final evolution should have looked more like Pelipper. Everyone loves a good Pelipper.

Quaquaval looks like it really needs to go to the restroom.

Sorry but how is skeledirge not your vibe? I'm just unable to see how a gay duck and a William Shakespeare marujana dealer cat could compare with an awesome ghost fire type beast of a starter, the only downside I can see is it being a little too flat, other than that, it's perfect

Huggable

Maybe not the fire croc but I'd hug the other two

fuckable*

Meowscarada- like it like Inteleon, has a lot of hidden features, don't mind it standing up at all. 8/10

skeledirge's tiny birb my beloved

I love meowscarada to perhaps an unhealthy degree

When I saw flower trick, I LOST IT. I can't get over how much I love the little magic cat, even though he's got a snaggletooth.

I love all of them

Skeledirge is the best of the bunch

Literally the Beyonce of the trio lol

Yes and it's not even close

Meowscarada is better. Skeledirge is the least intelligent looking of the three starters and loses the personality of the first and second stage.

love my juggalo crocodile

By a lot, too

I like fuecoco because it delivered what was advertised, a fire coco

These Pokémon look pretty ok, but these were what people were fighting about? Seriously?

BuT itS fUrrY BAiT, a stupid excuse but the sad reality, trying to find any reason to get mad.

I'm really happy with Skeledirge, although I don't understand what's up with the fire bird or why it's suddenly a singer.

Meowscarada is a magician/entertainer, skeledirge is a singer and quaquaval is a dancer! The starters all have 'jobs' starting back to black and white.

I can't tell you if singer works in there somehow but the bird is based on a type of bird that has a symbiotic relationship with crocodiles. The cock will let the bird eat things stuck in its teeth, which is good for the Crocs mouth and feeds the bird.

I love them all

Based take

Meowscarda goes with my ideal team of Mismagius and Delphox i love it lol that and it being really fast with lots of crits makes it amazing to me. I don't really like skeledirge and the water starter is fun in design and concept

I’m liking the vibe of your ideal team

Weed cat is all I ever wanted it to be

Skeledirge is probably objectively the most solid design, but Quaquaval is still my favorite, and competitively might end up the strongest.

Yeah, moxie quaquaval seems like a menace. Although i think that it wont be as cut and dry as meowscarada has protean as well

Quaquaval is ugly but I’ve significantly warmed up to it and don’t think it’s really that bad

But but it kinda is humanoid!!! Tbh standing on 2 is not something animals do it's a human trait,and human like pokemon are a gen 1 thing a lot more then people seem to want to remember. It's part of pokemons DNA lol

Idc about them being bipedal. I don't think they look good. Plenty of awesome bipedal humanoid designs like meinshoo, Hitmonlee, Machamp, weavile, even Hawlucha and it's flying. These just miss the mark for me

They all look good, I don't understand why people dislike them so much

The still images make the fire starter look awesome, but I feel like he looks a little less bad-ass animated, if the fire around his mouth was animated with more flow to it rather then looking like a glowing clown-wig that's bald on top he would have been my favorite hands down. I was pleasantly surprised by the grass starter, didn't think i would like the weed cat at first when i saw that she was gonna be the next furry waifu, but her move is powerful, she has protean as a hidden ability (annoyed it got nerfed but its still fun and useful, just a bit less so) and her general design grew on me with time...plus mine was female so i named her "mary jane" lol. the duck is my least favorite of the 3, i get what they were going for and i don't HATE it mind you, just not my favorite.

It’s not fire it’s marigold

No strong opinion on Meowscarada, but i do love Quaquaval and Skeledirge, Skeledirge sings and has a cute bird that turns into a mic, and i love that Quaquaval is a samba dancer, and the fact that the Quaxly line it's not from Paldea might be a sign that we'll have a region inspired by Brazil

They are all way better then galar starters

Similar to the kalos starters, one of them completely carries the trio. In this case being Skeledirge

Weed

Water and Grass were not what I was hoping for at all. That said that totally works! I was hoping for Sabertooth Tiger and some sort of Conquistaduck but these are solid. I personally don’t care for them but that doesn’t make them bad. That said Skeledirge is my favorite starter since Greninja

As cool as it would’ve been i didn’t think it ever would’ve been a sabertooth sadly

I like Meowscarada and Skeledirge

Cool cat jester, cool ghost mech fire boi

Quaquaval is one of my favourite starter pokemon

Skeledirge goes incredibly hard, I love him.

Quaquakal is the best to me. It looks graceful and it's pretty underrated and i like giving those kinds of mons more love. Also Water Step and Moxie basically giving you a free ddance on ko sounds super fun.

Same

I like that the starters can be seen as paradox versions of previous starters. Meowscarada is incineroar. Quaquaval is blazekin, and Skeledirge is Feraligatr

croc bro is op af

I love them all! Their designs have cool inspirations, and their signature moves rock.

Quaquaval: A great typing and I found it’s concept interesting enough to name it Mirror B.

Chose Sprigatito, don't regret it, glad i didn't choose Quaxly, he had the perfect oppurtunity to become a sailor, Skeledirge is cool

Feucoco’s line is still my fav. The grass cat ain’t too bad. The duck is just….🌈

God I hate the duck. Its just so annoying to look at.

I have no problems with Meowscarada's design. It's speedy and hits hard and I love it.

They are the Pokémon equivalent to the deltarune fun gang.

Except with berdly instead of kris

I chose weed cat bc I love cats, when he evolved into the third evo I became super attached to him due to him never leaving my party. His name is Jester and he is lv 100 and will be loved forever.

Catnip is great! It's not his fault half the pokemon fanbase fetishizes him. I love him for what he is, and that's a weed kitty going to the masked ball <3

My meowscarada's name is Lestor 😭

Quaquaval is FABOLOUS and I love him

Thank you. Quaquaval is perfect and it gets no appreciation

Best starter trio since gen 3 and 4.

They’re all ok, but I feel Quaquaval could have better design with the same theme

Love the fire croc

quaquaval is dumb

I'm not sure how word my thoughts and i can't spell to save my life so i'll do this

Cat has best final evo imo. I don’t like the others at all. (Opinion alert)

Weed cat is still the best

Sprigatito’s one is my favorite

I think they all look cool

They’re good. Love the cat.

Me like the fiery crocodile

Meowscarada is perfect and beautiful and I love her, 10000/10

Meowscarada = 8/10

The duck looks a lot less weird with its tail feathers spread out

I view them the same way I view the gen 8 starters.

They’re just kinda meh. Skeledirge is pretty tight though. Really wish they’d do more quadrupedal fully evolved starters.

Fully agree

I wish Skeledirge was less flat

But imagine how great he'll be on Flat Fuck Friday

Unchanged! I'm really happy with Meowscarada, Skeledirge is really cool, and the only one I don't care fir is Quackuaval which is also how I felt about Quaxly.

Quaquaval is underrated

From what I am seeing here, you either hate or love Quaquaval, no in-between

Flower trick is broken af, meowscarada also happens to be my favorite type so I’m more than happy

I still love my Weed Cat, plus it's unique move is pretty baller. Invul ignore with guaranteed crit with 100 accuracy.

This may be controversial but they're tied with hoenn for my favorite trio

Love the scarf, the mask, and the concept of it being a magician ,Meowscarda 10/10

I love all starters, I picked Sprigatito, but when I saw Quaquaval I screamed "YASSS! DRAG QUEEN 💙"

I love them all, but, it should be noted as a gen wunner, this is the first time i chose a fire starter.

Meowscarada is 1000% sooooooooooo breedable, makes me transform into Shane Dawson frfr 😏😏😏

I love my gay wet blaziken

Gayziken is love. Gayziken is life ❤️

goated

With the sauce?

Meowscarada is peak starter design.

Love all of them since first seeing them

Weird theater kid, skeleton lizard (best boi) and carnival dancer

They’re all kings 👑

When I'm in an overrated competition and my opponent is gen 3 and 4 starters

I love gay duck

Still Sprigatito, weed cat energy remains

I chose quaxly cause water/fighting is a good type combo

They’re all great! Seriously 10/10 for each one.

I chose the grass kitty and her signature move is by far the best, can’t miss and always deals crits to negate defense boosts

Weed cat for the win. Favorite starter since chikorita in johto

Meowscarada is now one of my favorite pokemon, Skeledirge looks kinda cool, and Quaquavel is just Megamind with feathers.

I went with the gay duck

I love my drag duck!!

Skeledirge: My precious boy~ Quaquaval: Its good, it has an ass pillow Meowscarada: Boyfriend enjoys, And now i do

Hoenn is by far the most overrated Gen of starters. Sceptile is awesome but swampert and blaziken are so mid

-uwu

looks like something i’d see in a circus

Fuecoco and Skeledirge are the best all the way. Fuecoco has actually become my second fav starter overall and I used an everstone for the first time to enjoy him a little while longer. Crocalor is nice but not as perfect as Fuecoco. Skeledirge has a great design and great. Love the bird and after learning of his singing prowess, I immediately thought of Lyle Lyle Crocadile.

I was really upset at Meowsarada's design. That face kills it. So I was like well Skeledirge looks kinda cool and I like the typing so let's go.

We have: Stoned Furry Hooker, Singer Alligator, and Femboy Peacock Puncher

In other words, I hate them

I love my magician cat

Meowscarada is my favorite starter evolution of all time. Even more than my original starter Samurott

The quaxly line seems underrated to me

Meowscarada is the best out of these

Meowscarada: Better than what people expected, it’s still more cat than person. Also it has explosives. 9/10

Quaraval's Ass: 11/10

Meowscarada is perfect

-fur affinity

Originally I loved all the first evos and was greatly disappointed with the finals. But they've grown on me. Took me a while to get used to Skeledirge, but it's pretty cool now... not really my type, but I get it. Quaguaval I started to get used to the idea, until I saw him on the battle field.. that weird creepy walk, the hips, the butt, I don't understand it 💀 it had potential, I don't hate all aspects of the design, but it's just awkward. Meowscarda I had high hopes for, because Sprigatito was so great... perhaps my expectations were too high and I had too many of my own ideas for it in my head, but when I first saw it I was disappointed... It grew on me to "I kinda like it" and decided to evolve mine... I'm now OBSESSED with it, I don't know what I couldn't see before, but I look at it now and it's amazing! Definitely Sprigatito and Meowscarada are being added to my top fave pokemom list... All 3 of the middle evolutions I didn't and still don't care for.. don't hate them at all, but just nothing special..

I like the stats distributions, typing, special moves and hidden abilities,but the designs are probably the worst so far

Ok look I like all the starters and yes you can hate one of them but I. My opinion they are cute and it doesn’t matter how any start look I started playing Pokémon two years ago and I got on of the generation 8 game the bp yes it was kinda hard because I never played the older Pokémon but I had a friend sister who help me and told me. What to do and I beat Pokémon sword and legend and let go

Really like them. And personally I really like the path they are taking with the evolutions. Sure they are not top their but I feel the new game gives the Pokemon a but more to the designs especially the starters. Compared to the more bland Jhoto and Sinnoh starters( still like those too)

i love meowscarada's design, it feels so complete and it's just so fun. quaquavel (i think?) is very unique and i love it, i just don't know how it went from duck to peacock. and i don't like skeledirge. it looks so blocky and stiff and the 3d animation makes it look ridiculous

i just don’t like quaxly’s final evo but the other two are great

Piping hot take, Skeledirge’s color scheme doesn’t look good.

Love meowscarada and skeledirge. I despise the duck

Meowscarada- Rule 34 bait

My favorite gen of starters so far

Have you seen their shinies? I was hoping Quaquaval would wear Brazil colors, Skeledirge would be black, white, with blue or purple flames, and Meowscarada would have red and white or purple and white to represent jesters/magicians more. Most shinies in this gen are unremarkable, boring, ugly, or hardly noticeable at all

I like quaxly too much so if I got it I would just give him an everstone and hope for the best

I just hate that bird

Quaxly looked the best to me so I picked him. I was more dissapointed with every evolution

Chose quaxly, regretted it, likes fuecoco but hate the rest of the line, sprigatito line is best by a long shot

I hate them.

Frick quaquaval, all my homies hate quaquaval

fanservice, the best one, homosexuality

Skeledirge is the best of the 3

Genuinely think this is the worst gen for starters ever. I cannot believe I roasted Emboar and serperior

Exactly the same.

Meowscarada is kinda bad

[удалено]

2nd paragraph: I Don't see how skeledirge isn't one if these?

Better than gen 8 starters and fuecoco line is my favorite and my second favorite starter line overall after bulbasaur

Base / stage 1 forms were cool but the evolutions a bit of a disappointment

Qwaxequavel is my least favorite water starter but Quaxly is one of my favorites. Talk about whiplash.

Meowscarada is what happens when you fuse a roserade with a gardevoir, and it's fking perfect. Quaquaval is a brazilian reference making it the best starter and you can't tell me otherwise. Skeledirge is... Something? Idk, i thought fuecoco would evolve into some quetzalcoatl like creature but it sadly evolved into a normal alligator with fire coming out of it's mouth

I think that quaxley should have evolved into a blue footed booby since it’s a dancer, but quaquaval is alright

Extemely unpopular opinion but Skeledirge is ugly and theres something about its eyes that makes it look goofy and not in a good way

They not the original 3 but they still cute

grass and water starter: 🧍 fire starter: 🐊

Sprigatito was the only one that i liked from the 1st stage same with the evolutions. 3rd fuecoco stage (i cannot remember it's name) was cool but too forced and the water duck was just the avarage line that i don't really care for but don't hate either (ex:feneckin, popplio and sobble)

I chose meow and I like them a lot, but it does feel a bit overdesigned. Didn’t need the pink flower collar, the floating leaves thingy, and a lot of its easily missable details. It’s still the most simple of the trio.

Furry,WTF ARE YOU AND WHERE IS MY CUTE DUMB BOI,Disco time

Would have preferred a quadruped for Sprigattito, but this one is cool.

I personally wish they went all in on the hair theme for Quaquaval and not make him a dancing peacock with ADHD.

These starter evolutions were super disappointing to me, I thought their first stages were like perfect for all 3 of them and I think they butchered it a bit.

The cat should’ve stayed on all fours and evolved into like a Tiger or a jaguar or something.

The cat should’ve stayed on all fours and evolved into like a Tiger or a jaguar or something.

I mean two look like people in costumes and the other looks like a sentient charcoal grill with the brain activity of a coconut. So 1 out of 3 stars for me.

I regret picking Fuecoco, Skeledirge is such a let-down.

Meowscarada I'm disappointed in. But the other two actually turned out well, especially Skeledirge.

I agree but swap meowscarada and the gay duck

Stop producing water starters, make them bug types at this point

Fire is the best, water isn't to bad and grass would've been better if sprigatito was bipedal

Fire croc is a fav and has a lot of themes going on. Fancy cat isn't too bad, like the idea, though the smugness it has is really on the edge. The duck... remember the leaks for it and think I went, "Brazilian or Spaniard" which the former was right. Probably my least favorite on design side. Somehow even more questionable than the cat.

I really like Meowscarda for multiple reasons but the other two look pretty lame and dumb

Tbh I don't like the sinnoh starters that much, they're a little over designed.
