You may recall I made a Thread analyzing the treatment Water Starters get in the anime a while back
Thread 'Why are Water Starters always the worst handled Starters in the Anime?' https://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/why-are-water-starters-always-the-worst-handled-starters-in-the-anime.290445/
But lately I have also been wondering about the way Grass and Fire Starters get treated also
Anyways, since How do you feel about the way Grass Starters have been treated in the last few Generations?
I thought Bulbasaur, Bayleef, and Sceptile were handled nicely but starting with Torterra.... Well things have gotten really spotty since then....
- Torterra you poor sweet summer child. You started off so well as a Turtwig and things just went on a downwards spiral from there.
- Snivy. Sigh What a sad waste of potential this was. Remember when it was hinted that she used to have a Trainer before Ash? The writers surely didn't.
- Chespin. Yeah he was done dirty. His fate was pretty much sealed the moment he went to Clemont
- Rowlet. Now this one wasn't TOO bad overall but his sleeping gag and the battle against his Final Form led to him becoming one of the most controversial of Ash's Pokemon
- Grookey. JEEZ I don't even know where to start?
So I wanted to know if you guys agree or disagree on whether Grass Starters in the anime have fallen off since Gen 3?
(I'll make a thread on Fire Starters later)
