My perception on the trio has changed quite a bit in the last few months, I’ve gone from thinking that the trio isn’t anything special to thinking only the turtwig line is special to loving the piplup line the most and my current view which is thinking the trio is one of the best and not being able to choose between them, and I think a lot of that comes down to playing platinum for the first time before i started liking the trio I had never played platinum, and I think playing the games made me fall in love with the trio I just loved exploring the sinnoh region with piplup at my side, and it was the first game that made me jealous of my rival getting the other starter that may seem a bit stupid but the starters are just so good that whenever I play platinum I just want them all on my team.I think torterra is really underrated in my opinion it has a cool pokedex entry where small pokemon gather on its back as its like a mini sanctuary and a killer design
