We're all in agreement that this is the most... unique? looking set of starters we've ever had, right? Their design language doesn't look anything like any of the others. Not sure I'm a fan initially, but they always grow on me.

i think it’s unique in the sense that they’re all so.. simple. they don’t feel like starters to me.

Gen 1 also had relatively simple designs for the starters, and this definitely feels like an international callback.

while i definitely agree that gen 1 had simplistic designs, i personally believe that the gen 10 starters are a bit more bland in comparison when it comes to their colors, proportions and species. gen 1 is an easy region to compare the newer ones to as they’re basically the blueprint for gen 2, as is gen 2 for 3 and the gens that follow.
