I think the title needs to be changed from the "Worst" starters from each region to the "Least Popular" one from each region. That will make a whole lotta sense.
SWAMPERT IS BAD? Wtf and also waht is this List based on? Casual Gameplay? pupularity? Competetive? This list is terrible. He talks about gameplay and then with a different Pokemon he talks how Bad is it in competetive. Just choice and bring statistic
I was like: Blastoise over Ivysaur? Really? Swampert over Blaziken? Really? BUT DELFOX OVER THE UGLY ASS SHIT CHESNAUGHT??? WE CAN ARGUE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT CHESNAUGHT IS DISGUSTING
Please dont say bad about Blaziken. I love Blaziken. The only reason why minus picked swampert is because it is less popular than blaziken. Hoen starters are the best trio of starters
yeah since it's based on a Basilisk, those lizards are skinny with large hind legs so they are able to run across water, so obviously inteleon would need to reflect that
@@TerwuanJr @crewdroid7146 swampert is debatable as the best in hoenn what moves does sceptile have over than leaf blade he is only good because of the tv show Mf be slow
12:50 New Pokemon Snap Anybody? I certainly have NOT forgotten! Edit: also don't worry Delphox, i certainly love it way more than that overrated Ninja Frog, when u get special treatenent in legends ZA people will respect you!🔥🔥
Gonna have to disagree with your pick for Gen 5. Emboar to most people is the worst Unova starter. The third fire/fighting starter in a row. Not to mention its design is horrible and its stats aren't any good either.
I'm not taking that "Third Fire/Fighting starter in a row" seriously anymore because some people still hate on Delphox for ear fluff, Cinderace for Bipedal/mono typed and Incineroar also for 4 legs to 2.
Emboar is very good in a Gen 5 playthrough though, as its typing is useful for both the early and late game. Samurott on the other hand is pretty average in a region that the water typing doesn't do well in, with its only positive being that it is one of the few decent water type options in Gen 5. Samurott as well was competitively worse than Emboar in most regions after gen 5, with it only becoming way better after getting its Hisuian form from Gen 9 onwards.
While I don't agree with ALL of the picks, I do want to have my own breakdown on these choices. For Generation One, I think the thing that knocked Blastoise down was where the other two accel at. Charizard is like, the secondary face of Pokemon and Venusaur is arguably one of the best pokemon you could use in a Kanto Playthrough. Blastoise does a lot of things decently, but there isn't much it's actually notable on. It's okay in a playthrough, but as stated, there are arguably better Water Types you could use. It's fine in the meta game, but hasn't seen nearly as much success as the other two. And it's design is good, but compared to a Charizard and Venusaur, it does feel somewhat lackluster. While it did have some notability in being the face of Pokemon Blue, along with being Gary's Starter, it doesn't have much else going for it and that's what knocked it down. Generation Two is kind of obvious, it's almost unanimous that Meganium is just ok at best. Generation Three is one where, while I understand the reasoning, I feel that a better argument could be made against Sceptile. While yes, it is immensely popular among fans, in terms of everything else, it's lackluster. It's stats were made for it to be a Special Attacker, but it's moveset lacked a lot of what it needed to do that starting in Generation 3. It's probably the Hoenn Starter that has seen the least amount of competitive viability, and even with a Mega it wasn't very useful. However I do understand the argument of how it barely gets any spotlight, so I think it just falls to which lens you want to look at the Pokemon from. Generation Four I can agree with pretty much every point. While Torterra is one of my favorites, it just fundamentally doesn't work well. Generation Five, I think I can maybe agree with as well. While Hisuian Samurott can be surprisingly good in Singles with a Sharpness + Choice Band set, regular Samurott just doesn't have enough going for it. It's close between it and Emboar, but I think Emboar's Fighting Type gives it a slight edge over the pure Water Type that also has a pretty useless ability and a lack of representation. While Serperior doesn't do that well in the games, it can actually have some strong competitive usage, being in UU Singles, and at one point being in OU. It also has Trip, who, while not a beloved rival, still gives it some actual representation. Generation Six is... again, hard to say. While yes, I can understand your reasoning on Delphox being kind of shoved to the side for its pre-evolution, Chesnaught is arguably worse in battles due to it's 4x weakness to Flying, and it's weakness to Fairy. But again, it just depends on how you choose to look at it. I'd have to give worst to Chesnaught, but I respect the choice. Generation Seven is one where I'll have to disagree. Decidueye is arguably worse then Primarina. If we're going off of what you said with how Braixen gets more focus then Delphox, couldn't the same be said for Decidueye? Rowlet is the one on Ash's team, not Decidueye. And neither of it's forms do particularly well in battles, whereas Primarina has a solid spot in Singles OU, and a great typing of Water/Fairy. Generation Eight, while I agree with your pick, I'm not a fan of how you explained the reasoning here. Cause while the design isn't great persay, that shouldn't be the main crux of your argument. I think adding that it's moveset could use some work would've also helped, but, again, I don't hate the choice, more the reasoning. Generation Nine, yeah, this one is kind of obvious too. Meowscarada is extremely fast and strong, and has a move that ALWAYS lands a Critical Hit. Crits are extremely powerful, so being able to pull one out whenever is really good. And Skeledirge has a niche in Ubers, due to its Unaware Ability, and the tools needed to set up while also healing itself. Quaquaval isn't bad, with access to Moxie + Aqua Step giving it decent sweeper potential, but the typing and lack of usable options for it's movepool drag it down. But overall, while I don't necessarily agree with some of your picks, I can respectfully understand WHY you made those decisions, and I think this was a good video, and a good reason for me to deep dive into my own opinions of the starters. Keep up the good work Minus!
i do agree that decidueye is worse then primarina, grass/ghost is just a far worse typing with how much it's weak to (then again grass is a pretty bad defensive type) and it's not nearly as good when compared to Incineroar being the the top cat of VGC and primarina being very solid with her amazing water/fairy typing gen 9 is a hard one i find since all 3 of the paldean starters are good, sure some may say that quaquaval is bad, but he is great, plus it's very inspired by Brazil when you look into it, so i'd say the gen 9 bunch are the most balanced
@@bulborb8756 yeah tbh, while i did agree quaquaval is the worst of the starters, it is a REALLY close battle between them since they all have their niches and are all fairly powerful
@@dubhedubhe yeah, but i still say that none of the gen 9 starters are bad in their home region, cause Paldea really felt like all 3 starters are viable and not like Johto where 2 of them are great where as you need to avoid picking chikorita at all costs
Very well said. I agree with the choices for Gens 3 and 7 in this explanation, and yeah Chesnaught is probably slightly worse than Delphox, but it is close.
Hating james bond concept is bizarre they just didnt do enough with inteleon (or did too much). Other than that most people like swampert more than Sceptile. I wouldn't call samurott bland. Hisui went ignored probably because gamefreak ignored them too.
For me (excluding Hisui, and basing it on battle) Kanto: Charizard Johto: Meganium Hoenn: Blaziken (hard choice) Sinnoh: Empoleon Unova: Both Serperior and Samurott (BW) Samurott (B2W2) Kalos: Chesnaught and Blastoise (You pick a Kanto Starter for X and Y) Alola: Decidueye Galar (A lot of nostalgia since it's my favorite region): Inteleon Paldea: Quaquaval
In terms of base designs alone, I think the Paldea starters are one of the best among all the starter trios. You've got everything you need or expect from a partner Pokémon. You have the cute and cuddly Sprigatito, the goofy but adorable Fuecoco and the cool, calm and stylish Quaxley. Though their evolutions are a major let down, as a Pokémon fan for almost 20 years, these 3 are my personal favourite trio from all of Pokémon.
OK, just to let you know that in both generation 6 and generation 7, as well as gen 9 as well, i Ended up picking the feminine starter from all those regions those regions. Also from all the regions I listed the starters that I picked just appeal to me the most than the other ones from those regions,
Honestly the “Inteleon being the most hated starter” is a lie. During the Pokémon of the year for 2020, Inteleon was ranked tenth place while Rillaboom was ranked in 29th place. Not to mention that it was owned by both Gou, the actress, and Leon in the anime and was even added in Pokémon Unite as a playable character. So technically it’s not even the least popular starter. Rillaboom has nothing going for it besides the fact it’s incredibly powerful in competitive.
I disagree with Samurott being the worst in Unova, i'd give that title to Seperior since its ONLY winning fights in the Unova games are against Clay and Marlon, where as it struggles against everything else (as snivy loses to Chili, Burgh, Elesa, Skyla, Brycen, Drayden/Iris, Team Plasma as well as Alder, Iris, N and Ghetsis) also in Black & White, water types are tricky to get since you don't get access to surf until around the 7th gym, so picking Oshawott is good since your only water options for a long time are just seismitoad, swanna and carracosta edit: just saying i also disagree with the alola pick, i'd actually go with decidueye since it's got the worst typing of the 3 and in terms of competitive play, it's been bad when compared to incineroar and primarina but this is what i'd say the worst in each region are: Kanto: Charizard (yeah i said it, and it's not because of personal bias i have towards how much i HATE this lizard) Johto: Meganium Hoenn: Sceptile (face it, the physical/special split screwed him over big time) Sinnoh: Torterra Unova: Serperior Kalos: Delphox Alola: Decidueye Galar: Inteleon (it pains me cause i like Inteleon, but it does struggle) Paldea: ....honestly none of them are bad, they are all good so i have no pick here yeah i get that there's a lot of grass starters here, but they tend to be the weakest picks for playthrough's
If you want the real worst starter for unova in terms of a playthrough? The real answer is serperior Grass gets mostly curb stomped throughout the region with Clay and Marlon being the only good matchups for it, while opponents like Roxie, Burgh, Elesa to an extent, Skyla, Brycen, Drayden and Alder will clobber Serperior Not only is it suffering from not being dual typed, but unlike Samurott, Serperior basically had very few coverage options that will help it, especially strong ones I don't care if it's a competitive threat with contrary, this is about a regular unova playthrough and you have no control over what abilities serperior gets there If it had coverage like rock, ground, psychic, ghost, dark, poison and stronger flying and fighting coverage, it might actually be one of the best starters for unova Unfortunately people blatantly ignore thst because of competitive battling. Greninja is also a competitive threat and IT'S actually usable in a playthrough of Kalos
Swampert is actually the best starter in gen 3 as there is virtually no grass type opposition outside of 2 trainers in the whole game, not to mention Swampert was actually competitively better than Blaziken before it gained Speed Boost. Sceptile is by far the worst starter in gen 3 from both a gameplay and competitive stand point. Also, Primarina is not the worst Gen 7 starter, that definitely goes to Decidueye by a long shot.
Idk why, but both my favorite from Kanto, Hoenn and Galar are the lizards. Charizard, Sceptile and Inteleon are the best from their regions to me, even if Cinderace or Blaziken exist.
Part of the reason meganium is so bad is because of the region it's in. Grass just does horrible in Johto. If any other grass starters were in Johto, it would also be the worse starter. People put down meganium but then don't think about the matchups. That's why it does better in Kanto, because grass has the best matchups. I will defend my boy meganium.
but since that's postgame, meganium is legit deadweight for the main story as the ONLY boss it's good against is Chuck, where as it loses to literally every boss in the game
Number one feraligatr is second place is and is also not the worst starter it's meganium the thumb that was misleading Number two don't forget about Blastoise in haveing metal cannons two of them and you have the audacity saying he's just a giant turtle
Clearly you have not tried using torchic in emerald. It is a baaaad time. You have sooo many disadvantages. Gyms 1, 6, 7, 8, and the champion. Not to mention the amount of water in Hoenn.
@@thatboyminus because there wasn’t anything really wrong with Delphox, the fanbase is just a sexist, and there’s proof because people hated Primarina for no reason when it’s not even humid so that proves my point
What i think is the proper list Blastoise very good and loved just not as nuch ss the other 2 Meganium obviously Sceptile the 2nd most popular but not too great in battle Empooeon ki t not as popular ss the other 2 Emboar good in battle but is probably the kost hated pokemon Chesnaifht not cool not that good not super popular Primarina just because its way Less popular Inteleon same ss primarina Quaquavel looks bad
@thatboyminus meowscarada is the embodiment of pure "Glazing". 1. It's stands on two legs after being on just four legs in first stage. 2. The design doesn't really look all that good it's a superhero pokemon version of zoro the swordsman and even then the design failed halfway. So it's just the grass form of delphox. 3. The typing is pretty bad. But the moment you've been waiting for meowscarada is overrated for it's design like we all didn't know why it's liked 😒 It doesn't take a fith grader to know that. So yeah people like it for it's looks it's in Ou but in singles it sucks.
Intellieon is a terrible pokéman.But being based on James Bond is actually perfect, considering he is a british spy. The pokemon is trash but the idea is perfect
@thatboyminus because of its in game viability, it’s the best starter in the game. But I agree with you that in “worst DESIGNED starter, lack of anime exposure didn’t help too.”
I think the title needs to be changed from the "Worst" starters from each region to the "Least Popular" one from each region. That will make a whole lotta sense.
SWAMPERT IS BAD? Wtf and also waht is this List based on? Casual Gameplay? pupularity? Competetive? This list is terrible.

This whole video feels like which one I dislike the most out of the three. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone like that grass starter from gen 6
Please dont say bad about Blaziken. I love Blaziken. The only reason why minus picked swampert is because it is less popular than blaziken. Hoen starters are the best trio of starters
@@sitowat I agree
The problem with blastoise is that Vaporeon, Starmie and Lapras are both waaay better
BLAZIKEN AND SWAMPERT ARE AWESOME, SCEPTILE IS THE WORST, it is bad at strength and competitive, plus it’s mega isn’t even as strong.
Stop calling Inteleon ugly, you have a problem with It being true to it species of being skinny?
yeah since it's based on a Basilisk, those lizards are skinny with large hind legs so they are able to run across water, so obviously inteleon would need to reflect that
How dare you talk to my boy swarmpert like that
Tysm you the GOAT for this
Dude had to pick one gen 3 starter. He is not saying swampert as bad he is just saying he doesn’t like it the best.

I’m praying that Squirtle is one of the starters in Legends Z-A 🙏

Gonna have to disagree with your pick for Gen 5. Emboar to most people is the worst Unova starter. The third fire/fighting starter in a row. Not to mention its design is horrible and its stats aren't any good either.
I was about to type the same
True I was really close to picking Emboar, but it’s just a bit better in battle

also in Black & White, water types are tricky to get since you don't get access to surf until around the 7th gym, so picking Oshawott is good since your only water options for a long time are just seismitoad, swanna and carracosta

If you want the real worst starter for unova in terms of a playthrough? The real answer is serperior
Grass gets mostly curb stomped throughout the region with Clay and Marlon being the only good matchups for it, while opponents like Roxie, Burgh, Elesa to an extent, Skyla, Brycen, Drayden and Alder will clobber Serperior

I don't care if it's a competitive threat with contrary, this is about a regular unova playthrough and you have no control over what abilities serperior gets there
If it had coverage like rock, ground, psychic, ghost, dark, poison and stronger flying and fighting coverage, it might actually be one of the best starters for unova
Unfortunately people blatantly ignore thst because of competitive battling. Greninja is also a competitive threat and IT'S actually usable in a playthrough of Kalos

Part of the reason meganium is so bad is because of the region it's in. Grass just does horrible in Johto. If any other grass starters were in Johto, it would also be the worse starter. People put down meganium but then don't think about the matchups. That's why it does better in Kanto, because grass has the best matchups. I will defend my boy meganium.
but since that's postgame, meganium is legit deadweight for the main story as the ONLY boss it's good against is Chuck, where as it loses to literally every boss in the game
Swampert is the single best Pokémon in the Pokémon universe
There's no worst starters but least starters
Anyone seen hashirama word in video 8:00
I’m sorry but swampert only has one weakness for hoenn it’s obviously Sceptile
Number one feraligatr is second place is and is also not the worst starter it's meganium the thumb that was misleading
Number two don't forget about Blastoise in haveing metal cannons two of them and you have the audacity saying he's just a giant turtle
I know these are your opinions, but uh they’re certainly weird for me honestly
Kalos is chesnaught
And sinnoh should be empoleon whenever i play sinnoh i pick turtwig😢
Comment section does not agree AT ALL 😂
How dare you talk to blastoise like that, it has most type match ups in the E4 and I beat the game with that Pokémon only.
How about the elite 4 part? Who does it matchup well against?
You can beat the elite 4 with any solo pokemon. That's not an accomplishment.
Clearly you have not tried using torchic in emerald. It is a baaaad time. You have sooo many disadvantages.
Gyms 1, 6, 7, 8, and the champion. Not to mention the amount of water in Hoenn.
Delphox has by far the best design of the Kalos starters. Yeah, I said it.
Most over-hated Pokemon of all time.
How?
@@thatboyminus because there wasn’t anything really wrong with Delphox, the fanbase is just a sexist, and there’s proof because people hated Primarina for no reason when it’s not even humid so that proves my point
How dare you disrespect Tortera😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😢😢🥺
Great video, Minus! Keep up the good work!
Thanks mate!
Love y'all!
I agree your opinion
Worst and swampert?
Blastoise is not worst starter is venasaur worst
What i think is the proper list
Blastoise very good and loved just not as nuch ss the other 2
Meganium obviously
Sceptile the 2nd most popular but not too great in battle
Empooeon ki t not as popular ss the other 2
Emboar good in battle but is probably the kost hated pokemon
Chesnaifht not cool not that good not super popular
Primarina just because its way
Less popular
Inteleon same ss primarina
Quaquavel looks bad
Yes
Um live this to Wolfe vgc
Stopped watching the Hoenn choice
Why?
Meowscarada is overated
How?
STOP THIS INSTANT!
@thatboyminus meowscarada is the embodiment of pure "Glazing".
1. It's stands on two legs after being on just four legs in first stage.
2. The design doesn't really look all that good it's a superhero pokemon version of zoro the swordsman and even then the design failed halfway. So it's just the grass form of delphox.
3. The typing is pretty bad. But the moment you've been waiting for meowscarada is overrated for it's design like we all didn't know why it's liked 😒
It doesn't take a fith grader to know that. So yeah people like it for it's looks it's in Ou but in singles it sucks.
@@boomprowerSounds like something a Skeliderge fan would say?? Lol.
@Sylvieboy72 empoleon fan. Sorry lol
I am unsubscribing for insulting quaquaval
Why?
Because you are mean to a amazing water starter
Intellieon is a terrible pokéman.But being based on James Bond is actually perfect, considering he is a british spy.
The pokemon is trash but the idea is perfect
Inteleon is not trash, you fans just have bad taste
No starter are worst except
Generation 5 and 6 obviously accept greninja
Accept or except?
@@thatboyminusa little mistake
@@jaiswal068 little? My dude, that is a huge mistake. Those words aren't even interchangeable.
Um you can’t pick swampert 😮
Why?
@thatboyminus because of its in game viability, it’s the best starter in the game. But I agree with you that in “worst DESIGNED starter, lack of anime exposure didn’t help too.”
That’s the point of the video
@@gavinaaric "worst" starter pokemon, people take that as, worst one to choose in each game. Swampert is the best choice in gen 3. Thats all im sayin
@@Hohthxopq like you said worst designed and the worst out of the 3 for most people, I like Swampert more than Blaziken and I’m complaining
Most are water starter because there is so many water in game so there is always a better water type in every game
True!
Sceptile is worse, Decidueye is worse, come on man
