They're actually perfect. No need for megas.

You can't upgrade something already perfect

Not getting megas proves why Game Freak loves them

> They won't ever get new abilities that help them competitively
> They will always remain objectively weaker than the Gen 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 starters who get new forms or Megas with higher BSTs
> Torterra will always lose to Mega Venusaur, Mega Meganium, Mega Sceptile, and Mega Chesnaught
> Empoleon will always lose to Mega Blastoise. Mega Feraligatr, Mega Swampert, and Mega Greninja
> Infernape will always lose to Mega Charizard, Mega Blaziken, Mega Emboar, and Mega Delpox
> The Gens 7, 8 and 9 starters have higher bst values and are already more competitively viable than the Sinnoh starters.
> This is good somehow

Can someone please help me understand why this is a good thing? I've seen this argument a lot and I just don't get it.

Don't be such a petty numbersfag about it. Who cares, they're still cool. And they've gotten small buffs anyway. Tort got shell smash, Empoleon got roost.

The game really starts to feel like a soulless spreadsheet when you're so insistent that everyone's milkshake be made equal. You don't want them rebalancing shit in patches like a fighting game, it'll ruin everything eventually.

It's not just about numbers, Mega Evolution specifically fits with Sinnoh's theme. If any starter trio should get Megas, it should be them.

>The game really starts to feel like a soulless spreadsheet when you're so insistent that everyone's milkshake be made equal
But the ideas of starters/first partner Pokemon specifically is that they are supposed to be equal. Torterra was my Venusar/Meganium/Sceptile. The starters are meant to be equivalents
