Honestly, none of the Gen 7 starters are bad. I even like Incineroar now, because it's characterized as a being like a heel-wrestler who loves to be hated but doesn't like fighting unworthy opponents.
The Rowlet line is my favorite though.

Do you want me to give you an Own Tempo Rockruff? Its an event pokemon so you missed your chance to get one. It'll be level 1 so it should be fair for a first timer like yourself.

BTW that roto dex won't shut the fuck up. Get used to that.

The little doggy you see the professor with when you start the game. It's a rock type and evolves at max friendship at level 25, the one I'm offering will evolve into an exclusive form called Dusk Lycanroc and will evolve at as it's name suggests, dusk, when the game goes all orange colored for a bit. I can even offer you a Fenniken and a Snivy to support your Poppilo.

A nuisance you can ignore for most of the game. It's where you trade and battle and some other things that are too much of a pain in the butt to explain now.

Festival Plaza is their terrible attempt at merging XY's 10/10 omni-present multiplayer interface with B2W2's fairly fun shopping avenue sidequest where the more people you play with online the more the mall and its shops expand. Only they took out all the most important parts of both, the multiplayer interface's omnipresence on the touch screen during regular gameplay, and actually getting to expand your shopping avenue and its stores, and made it a clusterfuck disaster that dissuades a large portion of the playerbase from playing online. At least you have Quick Link for local.

USUM is okay but the heavy story presence, linear level design, and shitty multiplayer interface drag it down.

The newer ones are fun. I was almost intimidated to jump back into it because of the sheer number of new Pokmon.

The coolest thing, IMO, about the new games is that you can easily trade to yourself, with one 3DS. You just need any two of the 3ds games. I have a lvl1 Lapras that Ive been meaning to use. I will trade that to Sun/Moon when I buy that.

It only knows the Grass move because you picked the Water starter.

coverage is important, it's good to be able to bust out moves that check types Super Effective to you, like putting Ice Beam on a Water-type to deal with Grass-types who usually have the advantage, and to be wary of enemies doing the same

plus you might try to pick up, say, a Grimer to deal with that Smeargle since Poison resists Grass, but then be confused when Acid doesn't do Super Effective damage, as it does neutral damage to Normal-types

the utterly absurd amount of cutscenes isn't worth the story that still doesn't come close to being interesting

the cutscene problem also goes beyond just the main story. like every fucking area in the game has an intrusive and pointless cutscene, either for the sake of handholding or pointless filler

it's insufferable

You can have a story heavy game and still have the game not feel like a tutorial 60% of the way in though. Im all for cutscenes and plot but the 7th generation in general felt way too heavy handed in that regard.

Wahhh I'm allowed to whine, so far the game is a handholdong cutscene multiple hours in. If you don't want to read personal opinions on a game, get the fuck off of the video game forum.

The cutscenes are really bad in the new games. The Gen 5 games managed to tell a good story without constant cutscenes and interruptions, so no reason the new ones can't as well.
