Starter Pokemon used to be pretty bad competitively, but over the years Game Freak has transformed them into major threats.

Happy JPR Friday! Hope your weekend is off to a great start 🎉 Also made a minor oopsie when discussing the Gmax forms, meant to say that Blastoise and Venusaur won the Junior & Senior divisions, not Junior & Masters, my b 😅
-
I’ll never forget how much potential decidueye had as a sniper archer BUT THEN GOT THE MOST MID STAT DISTRIBUTION IMAGINABLE. They done my boy dirty
-
Game Freak's intentions with Meganium need to be studied 💀
-
the thumbnail reminds me of Casey's Chikorita vs Ash's Charizard from the Johto anime
-
The fact that Game freak put an Incineroar in Kieran's team shows that they know they created a monster
-
Gen 1 Starters: YEAH! We got mega evolutions and G-Max forms! We’re good again! Incineroar: 😛
-
Who at Gamefreak had the brilliant idea of giving Sniper to a special attacker when most high-crit moves are physical?
-
Meganium should get Regenerator. If it's gonna be a punching bag, it might as well make the opponent suffer to earn that KO.
-
The sad thing is that Inteleon has the stats of a good singles Pokémon, but definitely got robbed in the ability apartment.
-
Typhlosion: Heeey! I got myself a regional form! Meganium: Heeey! I'm getting mine next! Typhlosion: Heeey! I doubt it!
-
3:23 the Blaziken's name being censored is concerning
-
2:48 just wanna say, Venusaur’s Base Speed stat is indeed 80, and doubling that IS 160. However, Chlorophyll doesn’t double the BASE speed of a Pokemon, it doubles the actual speed stat. For example, a Venusaur at level 100 with max speed investment will have a speed stat of 284. With Chlorophyll, that number gets doubled to 568. Which means its speed is basically equivalent to Base 209
-
I thought Incineroar's dominance would only last for its own generation. Boy, was I wrong. As long as Game Freak keeps coding it into future games, it's never gonna go away!
-
To this day, I can’t believe they gave Meganium Leaf Guard. Why couldn’t they give it something useful? Maybe we’ll get a regional or mega in Pokémon Z-A.
-
Greninja Gets defeated in anime for plot Immediately gets hardest Nerf in Pokemon history (which sucks more for him since he isn't pure type) Gets nerfed in smash etc etc Gets sidelined by basically a grass type greninja which is one point faster...
-
I really hope meganium gets a mega/regional form someday, IT NEEDS SOMETHING
-
Torterra has shell smash now
-
What bothered me to no end, the Gen VI starters do not get mega evolutions while the Kanto and Hoenn starters do. Greninja does get a pseudo-mega-ish to coincide with the anime. But nothing for Chesnaught and Delphox.
-
Venusaur doesn’t have base 160 speed under sunlight, that’s not how it’s calculated
-
Anyone: Mentions competitive Incineroar: Someone call? If not I can just Parting Shot out.
