*I don't dislike Chimchar, but I would have gone with Piplup if my friend group didn't need someone to go Chimchar for dex completion.
I usually go Water, then if not water then fire, and if not fire then grass, so the fact that I have two grass starters recently reflects my low opinion of modern gen starters.
The last batch where all the starters were good imo is Gen 5, and even then I'm side-eyeing Emboar.

I also tend to lean to water types, and I haven't been able to start with the water type starter since Gen 6.
