The starters for Gen II are better than those of III/IV/V.

Original starters are by far the best though

No there not, each gen has the best Pokemon

Infernape is the best fire type

Blastoise is the best water type

Snivy/Serperior is the best Grass type

Hoenn is a miss though


It's all subjective =P I prefer Charizard/Blastoise/Venusaur

That is true, but battle wise these are the best starters

Blastoise being a better water type than Feraligatr? Feraligatr could eat Blastoise for dinner and still ask for seconds. Have you ever tried a Feraligatr with Life Orb and Sheer Force ability? A single Superpower from it will destroy a Blastoise no matter how much you EV train it. 
Feraligatr is widely regarded as being the most powerful water starter and one of the most powerful water type pokemon available. 

And Infernape is not the best Fire type combat wise as well, that "title" falls to Blaziken, given that he's an Uber an all that.

That's blaziken's dream world ability and barly anyone other then hackers have a dream world blaziken, but you're proberbly right about the feriligator one

Blazkien DW is legal, but it having eggs moves or perfect IV's is impossible because the only way to have gotten it was through an event and it was male.

Venasuar DW is also the best grass type starter followed by Torterra.

In terms of games

Gen II > Gen I > Gen V = III > nothing > IV

I have such strong distaste for IV, I dislike everything about that gen. Including the Gold/Silver "remakes" which were actually a completely new game where they changed things that I liked about Gold.

As _crazy_man_ said, the DW Blaziken ability has been available via event, though it lacks the full potential that it could have were it to be breedable. For normal situations, I agree that both Blaziken and Infernape pretty much are toe to toe, though personally I prefer the moveset of Blaziken to Infernape's.

Pretty much any DW starter pokemon has only been released via event and they are all male.

I'm going to defend and attack every generation now.

Gen 1 was the establishing generation that got 90% of what mattered right. Unfortunately, the 10% was balanced gameplay. Gen 2 expanded on Gen 1 and balanced the gameplay, but was a simple expansion. Gen 3 had a lot of character and interesting types of Pokemon, but abandoned some of the things that made gen 2 great. Gen 4 perfected the raw gameplay, but at the expense of style and interesting Pokemon. Gen 5...

Actually, Generation 5 is about as close to perfect as the series has gotten. Screw the haters!



My friend is a Vtuber, check him out.

*two thumbs up*

Couldn't agree with you more, especially on the Gen I comment. I mean, I love me some Red/Blue/Yellow, but the amount of coding glitches, bugs and overall imbalances is too extensive to properly list it here, thankfully they managed to improve on them heavily. Oh, and Gen I didn't have any decent Dragon moves, so it sucked for me on that

Some of the glitches in Gen I were really interesting and fun though =P

You literally know nothing of Pokemon? WTF!? It's so popular, that even if you're not a fan, but at least an avid/active gamer you should know what Pokemon is let alone what genre it falls under in the gaming category. SHEESH!

 

Well to lighten the tone of things, here you go, just for you!
