Utterly convinced that the Pokémon fans that hate on bipedal starter evolutions are simply expressing their scorn for furries & therefore homophobia in an acceptable way

#why else would bipedal cat & bird wearing funny outfits in a game for children bother y'all so much #the designs are amazing and very spanish y'all just hate furries #pokémon #pokémon scarlet and violet #pokémon starters #quaquaval #meowscarada #skeledirge

Ok so Fuecoco is perfection and Skeledirge is pretty badass, but Crocalor bothers me way too much. So I redesigned him to how I woulda if I was part of Gamefreak!

The Pokémon Starter Theories and Why I Don’t Believe Them

At the start of every Pokémon journey, you are given the choice between three Pokémon: a grass type, a fire type, and a water type. These Pokémon are often polarising for fans, who either grow to either hate or love them. But this isn’t about fan opinions. Well, actually, it kind of is. For a long time now, there have been three theories about a shared theme between each type of starter. According to fans, all of the starters are linked in some way by these themes. However, I don’t think that any of these theories are actually true.

Let’s start with the grass type theory. Allegedly, all of the grass starters are based on some sort of extinct animal. At first, it made perfect sense. Venusaur and Meganium are clearly inspired by dinosaurs, especially Meganium. While Sceptile and Torterra are looser, I can still see some traits relating to various species of dinosaur. But then came Serperior, and from there things went downhill. Sure there are extinct snakes. And extinct rodents. And owls. And gorillas. And cats. But that’s kind of my point. Every animal came from some extinct ancestor. Hell, you could say that every Pokémon is based on an extinct animal—or at least, every Pokémon that’s based on an animal. I’ll admit that Decidueye makes sense, because it is indeed based on an extinct owl. However, it’s the only ghost type grass starter, so by that logic all of the grass starters should be ghost type. You can tell that as time has gone on, people have been grasping at straws looking for the connection. But not as much as they have for the fire starters.

The fire starter theory is probably the best known: they’re all based on an animal within the Chinese zodiac. Charizard is a dragon, Typhlosion is a badger which makes it the rat, Blaziken is a chicken, Infernape is a monkey, Emboar is a pig, Delphox is a fox which is related to dogs, Incineroar is a tiger, Cinderace is a rabbit, and Skeledirge is a crocodile which is a reptile that’s low to the ground like a snake. You may have noticed some stretches in there, and so did I—especially with Typhlosion Delphox and Skeledirge. With that much extrapolation, you could make a case for any animal. Hell, YouTuber DeadBedSpread has been arguing for Skeledirge being a horse. To me, the fire zodiac theory is the biggest stretch of the starter theories.

Finally is the water starter theories, of which there are two. For the first one, I can’t really argue with the connection: all of them are semi-aquatic animals. Ducks, crocodiles, axolotls, penguins, otters, frogs, seals, several lizards, and ducks spend a lot of time in and near water. However, why would they make a water starter that wasn’t semi-aquatic? A purely land-dwelling water starter would make no sense, and a fully aquatic starter wouldn’t work as a partner that trots beside you as you journey. The other theory is far less strong. This theory says that every water starter is based on or uses either a weapon or a fighting style. Blastoise uses cannons, Empoleon has a trident, Samurott fights with swords, Greninja is obviously a ninja who uses shurikens, and Inteleon uses guns. Wait, didn’t I miss four of them? Yes, and that was intentional. Only about half of the water starters actually match with this theory. You could argue that Greninja and Inteleon don’t fit either, since you don’t see their weapons until they attack with them.

I can’t stop the theorists from theorising. It’s part of the fun of being a Pokémon fan. But in this specific case, I can’t confidently say that I agree with any of the popular theories about the connections between starter Pokémon.

I was looking for images of the Starter Pokémon final evolutions when I found something interesting...

Mainly THIS image (the original only went up to Gen 7 so I edited it to include the rest)

(sorry for the image quality drop, yikes)

And honestly? I can kinda see it. Especially because how easy it was to slot the missing Starters into those three categories.

It's not a perfect trend, like Primarina is way more feminine looking than Blaziken or Empoleon but it's veeeeerrrry interesting at how consistent it is.

I had the exact same theory back in Gen 7 except mine was labelled Cool, Bulky and Girly.

I also noticed that ALL of my favourite Starter Pokémon from each trio are in the Feminine column. I find that oddly sweet in a way, it shows that my taste in Starters hasn't changed much since little 11 year old me picked Chikorita in Heart Gold because I thought that Meganium was way cuter than Typhlosion and Feraligatr.
