Chikorita, Bayleef & Meganium

On the face of it, Chikorita seem a perfectly acceptable grass type. But what sucks about Chikorita is how rubbish they are compared to their grass type predecessor, Bulbasaur! Bulbusaur was cute but he didn't get all girly about it, he had universal appeal. Chikorita has a green pearl necklace! What is that all about? Do male Chikorita have that too? Ok so they'd look a little plain without the neck decoration but surely there was a better solution. For that reason alone they suck, but then when you see their evolutions things just go downhill.

Bayleef....bay leaf. Ok I get the pun but what has that got to do with the Pokémon? It's not described as a herbal Pokémon anywhere is it? And what's with the necklace thing again it's just gotten worse, it doesn't even look attached or straight. Bayleef is like some kind of wonky giant necklace wearing dinosaur. Ivysaur have a flower bud on their backs and still manage twice as cool as any Bayleef, Bayleef sucks. But it gets worse, much much worse:

Meganium. A dinosaur with it's head stuck in a flower. What is the point? I though starter Pokémon were meant to start of cute and grown up to look bad-ass? Unless that flower is for attracting huge swarms of Beedrill which are then unleashed upon the enemy I am not impressed. Nobody would want to buy a game if you were on the front of the box, granted Typhlosion and Feragligatr weren't on the Gold and Silver covers either but I'm 100% sure if they had been sales would of been just fine. But with you, well you could of killed off the series off right there and then. Meganium you lot suck, you jeopardised the whole series with your ridiculousness.
