Uh true

>>55798030

>Meganium
>Swampert
Three of my favorites. Grass types are based, and I leik mudkips.

>Skeledirge not only is less popular than meowscarada
Ghost crocodile less popular than sex cat? Who could have predicted this?
>>
>>55798030
> Venusaur is the least popular in it's own region
>Meganium is the least popular in it's own region
That due to being grass type not quadruped. Grass was seen as the loser type of the starters in the very early days of the franchise.
And anyway pretty sure Venusuar and blastiose are about tied now

> Skeledirge not only is less popular than meowscarada but also less popular than it's own first stage which stands up on two legs
Meow is propped up by furries and there are many Pokémon are less popular than their earlier stage, no reason to assume being quadruped is the reason in Skeledirge’s case
>>
>Swampert is the least popular

I’ve never seen Mudkip’s line as the least popular until after the OR/AS Mega Sceptile shilling of 2014. It was incredibly well-received back in its inception
>>
>>55798106
it's really funny because Mudkip is my favorite starter line of all of pokemon games, and I always thought I was a normiefag because I thought everyone else loved it too
Now it's apparently a dead line?
>>
>>55798122
It's a dead line if it fits your narrative like OP's.
>>
People love Torchic and Blaziken
People love Treecko, Grovyle, and Sceptile
People like Mudkip and... oh, only Mudkip

?
>>
>>55798106
Sceptile actually used to be unpopular when gen 3 was new and was easily overshadowed by Grovyle, Blaziken, and even Swampert. It only really gained popularity in 2015 back when the Smash Ballot was a thing, all because there was no fully evolved grass starter in Smash and it was the most relevant at the time due to ORAS.

>>55798038
you're white and most likely a troon

Grovyle is carried hard by PMDfags.
>>
>>55798030
>Not liking based Swampert
Now I now those guys never played Gen 3. How can you hate something that goes from a cute mememon to the first meta nightmare of the Frontier out of sheer power alone? Swampert is awesome.
Monster enough to be cool, and good looking enough to have as a big pet.

>less popular than it's own first stage which stands up on two legs
This holds little weight when Decidueye and Empoleon are less popular than their first stages despite keeping the same number of legs.

Being an appealing design is what matters the most. Non-quadrupedal =/= Guaranteed popularity

Now go be a deranged schizoid somewhere else

>meganium is the least popular because quadrupedal
I don't want to have to list actual reasons as to WHY it's not popular since I already did in a previous thread of the same subjec, and you should know this by now. There's also the asinine drama of "if I pick Totodile then Silver will have Chikorita which doesn't fit him".
>>
>>55799382
11 year old boys are generally npc tier and go for the one that everyone else goes for even though meganium is the best.

Worth noting that Cinderace and Inteleon are both overwhelmingly more popular than Rillaboom, despite the fact that they had to be anthrofied while Rillaboom's shape fits it's natural animal inspiration already.
>>
>>55798030
And yet they are all more popular than Emboar...
>>
Am I being gaslit because I swear the qaudruped spergery was over fire types specifically, not starters as a whole.

People realized in Gen 7 that the only Typhlosion could sorta qualify as a quadrupedal fire starter but is rarely depicted that way. They also pretended they'd been talking about this for years but I'd somehow literally never seen this problem discussed anywhere until Gen 7.
>>
>>55798030
arcanine is popular
luxray too
The problem is, they only make shit now
>>
>>55799443
By being based on one of the closest human relatives, literally as close to a human jobmon as you could make it without making Larry a pokemon
>>
>>55798030
Only thing true in your post is Meganium being unpopular and Serperior being most popular Unovan starter.
Yes this includes the Meowscarada lie. Number of porn a Pokemon has doesn’t indicate how popular it really is.
>>
>>55798030
>Venusaur
>Meganium
>Swampert
>Torterra
Blame OLM and GF being biased
>Hisuian Samurott
There was no official poll, and using artwork from certain websites (>>55798074) doesn't count.
>>
>>55799714
>Only thing true in your post is Meganium being unpopular
And it's not because Meganium is a quadrupedal Pokemon like OP claims the reason to be. Meganium has a bad movepool, is a support Pokemon (as a starter Pokemon), and its hidden ability can go fuck itself.

Sylveon for example is quadrupedal and is hugely popular, even though it has the Eeveelution movepool. OP just wants to bait.
>>
I only dislike quadruped pokemon when it actively works against the theme of the pokemon.

samurott uses swords therefore it being quadruped is absolutely retarded and is objectively a hindrance to the design

skeledirge being quadruped makes the design worse because you can’t even see its opera outfit patterned belly 90% of the time and it needs to stand up to sing anyway which is the whole fucking point of the design

both have literally no reason to not be biped except for the designers forgetting they’re designing fictional monsters and not animals in wacky colors.
>>
>>55799815
If your obcessed about the "theme" then samurai weren't only just swordsman so it doesn't need to look like some armored anthro
