Typhlosion fags disconsidered, can we all agree that this is the worst starter line up ever made?

Chikorita:
>Chikorita has literally no fans and was the most unpopular Pokémon among the Johto starters
>the most recent controversy revolving Chikorita was silly in-fighting about Chikorita's unpopularity stemming from sexism, which actually made Chikorita more popular

Tepig:
>the most mind boggling choice for starter imaginable, the apex of the Fire/Fight types fatigue, a Pokémon that is both ugly and terrible to use
>least popular starter in all early polls for ZA and all starter data from Unova
>Tepig is so mind-boggling that an entire thread could be dedicated to how mediocre it is in terms of design, skillset and stats

Totodile:
>was not even the most popular starter in his own game, losing to a Pokémon that cannot be brought back because of a sex scandal
>it is answering for 55 to 70% of all starter picks on all polls, as its counterweight is not present anymore

Name a single Pokémon game that had a worse starter line up. They tried to remake Johto, but forgot to give players a single reason to be excited about their starter Pokémon.

No is happy with this line up.

>Chikorita gets chosen despite being the entire flagship of the SJWs who play Pokémon and somehow a face for the women who play Pokémon
>his mega looks like shit and makes Meganium even worse
>Totodile is the normalfag choice and is boring and vanilla
>his mega will just be worse Gyarados
>nobody even wants to pick Tepig
>Typhlosion fags just seething uncontrollably for months covering because their pedophile won't even make it to the national dex
>Cyndaquil is by far the most popular starter of Johto, which forces the playerbase to just choose between Totodile and other two unplayable starters

Who even chose this line up? There is one reasonable choise, and it is the retarded gator. Might as well just have one available starter.
