Continuing from yesterday with Victini, today you Gen 5 haters will get a cracked at the grass starter line, Snivy, Servine, and Serperior. Burn this grass snake with your hateful words.
As for why Victini is shit according to /vp/:
>Shaped like a sick
>Butt-wings is lame
>>25468151
It isn't, Serperior is the best-looking Grass starter
Please stop doing this. There will always be people that hate certain gens.
>>25468151
I think it accomplished what it's trying to do but servine is the ugliest piece of shit i've ever seen. So obvious it was an afterthought.
It's not
It's the cutest starter line
Probably one of the few Grass Pokemon I wish had Poison as a duel type or SOMETHING because of how awful mono-Grass is
It's probably the best of the bunch of jokers that was Gen V's starters, I like it the best and has a fantastic design bar Servine being the awkward adolescent years nobody likes talking about
>>25468151
Easily one of the worst looking starters. The proportions are gross and the final form is covered in weird yellow stickers.
>>25468161
Thread shoulda ended here.
>>25468151
>hating on Grass snek line
You have an awful taste. Stop posting anytime.
Grass snek is cutest snek
>>25468170
The entire line is garbage
>>25468151
Snek forgives you for your utterly wrong taste.
Incredibly great designs. Incredibly useless, even in-game. Literally the only starter I've ever boxed mid-game.
Truly, Serperior is one of the most disappointing Pokemon ever in terms of wasting a top-tier design on a sub-mediocre battler.
>>25468151
There are just so many better grass types in Unova, desu. Serperior line is pretty but weak even in game.
>Gen 5 hate thread
OP, there are worse Pokemon from other generations. At least the line has an appealing color scheme and some interesting construction.
>>25468151
This is embarrassing
Deal with the fact that not everyone has to love every gen
>>25468151
>>25468698
I have to agree with >>25468668, these threads don't seem like they're going to contribute anything except another place to argue about stupid shit that's already been beaten in to,the ground. Maybe if you phrased them as "opinion" threads rather than stacking the deck by calling them "hate" threads, they'd be a little more reasonable.
>>25468163
Actually I think this will be interesting
>>25468151
Alright OP. I don't like the line because they were useless in their own gen. Until it got contrary it was just another mono-grass, which are all pretty much clones of each other and useless. I think the design is fine. As it stands now I think it is better, but a one-trick pony and no longer as relevant since it is not a starter.
You bunch of faggots ITT, let OP do this. It's an interesting thread idea. I look forward to these in future OP, will tune in for Samurott especially. Maybe link previous threads and compile reasons in a pastebin.
My only gripe with grass snake is how fucking terrible its moveset is.
>>25468668
>caring about how they look
>not about how useful they are
>>>/i/
>>25468151
Still better than Chikorita!
>>25469014
>doesn't care about functionality
The designs can be great and have terrible functionality. I'm not saying it's objectively a good Pokemon in game, but at least it's appealing.
>>25468151
>hate smug Snivy supporters in the pre-release hype
>end up liking Serperior the best out of the starters in the end.
>still box it half way for a Maractus
you can bitch about the starters all you want but I liked this gen overall.
Favorite starter of this Gen actually. I really like how it conceptually becomes more snake like throughout its evolution.
The thing that made Pokemon popular in the first place is it's icon, and that has absolutley abysmal stats.
>>25468151
>needing to be spoonfed
If you lurked at all in the past few years, you wouldn't need to make a thread about the same subject every day for next couple months.
My favorite starter.
And I find it very good in competitive play, not only because of leaf storm contrary, it has excellent speed, decent bulk, access to glare, taunt, leech seed.
Glare/sub/seeds is godly.
>>25468151
Terrible in Gen 5, shitty stats and couldn't even make use of its Hidden Ability.
At least it's pretty good in Gen 6 with Contrary Leaf Storm.
Servine, admittedly, just feels really forgettable. Hell sometimes I forget what Snivy's second evolution is at times, which doesn't really happen for most other starters. Doesn't look as graceful as the other members of it's evolution line either.
Wasen't good in Gen 5 sadly, and actually really sucks/just completely overshadowed by other choices in PSMD.

/thread
Not every pokemon needs to be top pick
Serperior is one of the best grass starters
>>25468151
It somehow managed to be worse in game than fucking meganium
>>25469014
smongonfag detected. Fuck off.
>>25468952
>threads that will lead to inevitable shitposting is a good idea
you are part of the problem. it would be one thing if this was done starting with Gen. 1, but to do just Gen. 5 specifically is just asking for trolls.
