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!

Dead @ the flower on the female's head.

Thanks! I only took a few minutes to do it on Microsoft paint so I hope the white outline isn't too distracting . xD

well i mean, there's one explanation. i always felt that they were just domestic pokemon and didnt live in the wild anymore. like cats or dogs.

lmfao

Gender ratios weren't in R/B/Y, how do you explain that?

Totodile the best mofo starter ever. Hands down.

It's almost like the gender ratio on the internet.

Nothing wrong with a good ol' fashioned sausage fest.

But then what about Dittos?
