I find starters to be unimmersive.
I understand they serve to fuel thesorry excuse for aplot and also serve as a generation's mascots.
However I feel like this would be more gracefully achieved by just having the route 1 mons be more carefully chosen/designed.

how does /vp/ feel?
I feel like you have down syndrome.

If the Route 1 mons weren't all just generic shitmons and Pidgey clones, you'd be more inclined to keep it in your party through the whole game. BW2 allowed you to catch decent Pokemon like Riolu and Magnemite fairly early.

If that trend was continued and improved itd prolly easily be able to replace the starter system

This. As it stands you can either have a generic starter or generic first route trash.
