Can they stop with the whole circus and theatre themes for the starter evolutions? Like choose a cool theme like dinosaurs or something medieval

No. Youโ€™re approaching the point where humanoid starters will become the majority soon. Accept that you lost.

>Venusaur is the third wheel between Blastoise & Zard
>Meganium is infamously unpopular and Typhlosion is almost never depicted on 4 legs despite being technically classified as quadruped
>Swampert isn't outright unpopular but still tends to be Sceptile/Blaziken's shadows
>Torterra is in a similar boat
>I distinctly remember Samurott getting backlash for not really leaning into what Dewott was setting up in an appealing way, but the Unova line in general is considered "eh" besides maybe Serperior
>Gen 6-8 has no quadrupeds - the only one to approach that territory (Primarina) faces some backlash for admittedly unrelated reasons
>Skeledirge only really enjoys popularity on basis of novelty due to the above
They always are they always have been and they will always be
newfags pretending otherwise and rewriting history as if they don't shill lucario and greninja on daily basis will never be right

There's still going to be a least popular starter even when they go full furfag with their final evolutions

Game Freak has historically been inept when it comes to movepools for quadrupedal Pokemon.
Marketing was a mistake.

Swampert was literally the best one competitively in his own region though
