Now that the Switch 1 era of Pokemon is coming to a close, what are your thoughts on the new starters and starter forms that were introduced?

Typhlosion is the only good design there.

Skibbidigatr is the only terrible design there

Make Snipe Shot boost crit rate like Focus Energy. Won't make it amazing but it will at least have something.

I hate gen 8 starters and their forms. Hisuian starters all have nice, thematically fitting designs, overall great. Paldea starters are alright. A welcome addition after gen 8 failure. ZA, megas are meh. Only meganium is "good" emboar is good enough for emboar.
>Kalos
Winners of the generation. Beautiful crafted megas and demonstrates that their base designs was alright. Probably one of my favorite starter trios now

Make Snipe Shot a guaranteed crit move. That’s it. If the other two can have brainless “just click the button” signature moves, so can Inteleon in the same generation Dracovish exists in.
252+ SpA Choice Specs Sniper Tera Water Inteleon Snipe Shot vs. 4 HP / 252+ SpD Blissey in Rain on a critical hit: 552-651 (84.6 - 99.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Interesting that you're thinking gen10 won't be released for SW1.
Like hell TPCi will let go of that 154M userbase, get ready for one last (buggy and unstable) ride.

Game Freak never wanted typhlosion to have fans in the first place. Its sole purpose was to make CHARIZARD look better, but against all reason it got a fanbase. They made H.Typhlosion to ruin typhlosion but were too stupid to realize that a badger Yokai that leads a night parade of 100 demons is actually cool. So it had the opposite effect. when Typhlosionfans were actually happy about the ONE time game freak gave them anything, game freak’s replaced its ability with the regional form Frisk in the one and only open sheet generation to make it a shitmon. But when against all reason it managed be good in Reg H, Game Freak rolled out the big guns and
wrote essentially the worst kind of blood libel against the entire typhlosion line and let it leak and basically the entire world swallowed its
You can’t make this shit up. Never has a company been so angry that people like one of their products

Then why the ghostly badger that helps ghost to go to the afterlife is a better idea than generic ass cartoon animal with fire slapped on it?

Game freak is legit stupid enough to think that’s a bad thing.
These are the same people who’s idea of shilling Feraligatr is to make it a toilet and call it’s bite weaker than its own baby. They legit have brain worms

Intelleon is simply a boring design competitively. Fast water type special attacker is all it has. That'd probably be cool in gen 4 and 5, but compared to changing your type after different moves and swapping hazards or set up a field condition that allies can make use of too and gives you strong priority, it's nothing. It'd need to be designed from the ground up. Lots of damage if it uses focus energy isn't nearly as interesting of an idea.

Anon we already know that Gen 10 is Switch 2 exclusive because of the teraleak

To add, I don't mind it being lower tiered. I think Hisuian Decidueye is a vastly better starter design than it, despite it being PU instead of PUBL. Fighting move that is powerful with 0 draw backs? That's already fairly cool and rare. Scrappy to prevent Intimidate and Ghost type switch ins? Very unique. A whole bunch of bullshit added effects? Wonderful. It's in currently in a meta where Virizion (a pokemon with the same typing) and Alolan Decidueye (a pokemon that takes up the same species slot) are pretty well used as well as a plethora of other Fighting and Grass types being higher tier. Hisuian Decidueye is over kill with it's move and ability while being low tier, but in places where it is viable, it cannot be said to be uninteresting. Hisuian Decidueye is a shitmon starter done right. Intelleon is an utter failure. I say this as someone who loves Unovan Samurott, so I know the pain.

Kalos Starters were always good, and the Megas are a well deserved upgrade.
Hisui Starters have a great aesthetic to match the world of the game. But after the teraleaks I can't look at this Typhlosion the same way again...Ruined forever.
Galar Starters are ok as sports mascots I guess.
Paldea might be bottom of the barrel. They just don't stand out now with every starter Pokemon getting some special power up nowadays. And Quaxly was so unpopular, kids just pick up a Gyarados instead. Absolutely dire.
