After feeling sad that Totodile was listed as one of the worst starter Pokemon in a recent thread, I realized there's one simple reason why the starters are rare...

Their gender ratio is heavily unbalanced!

For example, check Bulbasaur's gender ratio:

Only 12.5% Bulbasaur in the wild are female! So for every female Bulbasaur that exist, there are 7 more males! 

Here's a visual represenation of this ratio!

Female Male Male Male Male Male Male Male

And according to the link below, all 18 starter Pokemon share the same gender ratio!

What does this mean?

It only means one thing!

The starter Pokemon species is a huge sausage fest!
