Back when Tigers used to smoke.
Coming from someone who loves the Johto Starters to the point that I tried to make them competitively viable in the OU meta, that's just not true. Meganium desperately needs a huge buff in its moveset to the point that it's no secret that it is competitively seen as the worst starter ever. Typhlosion suffers especially from a moveset problem with much of its best moves being straight-up fire moves and it doesn't help that its speed is good but not good enough that it's outclassed by too many faster Pokemon. To this day, it is often seen as the worst fire-type starter Pokemon of all time in the competitive scene. Then there is Feraligatr who is arguably the best Johto starter thanks to a decent variety of Sheer Force moves to help him but even then, that's not enough. To this day, the Johto Starters are seen as not only the worst competitive starters ever but also a prime example of Pokemon that are in a desperate need for a buff after so many years of neglect and a prime example of how Johto is often ignored compared to other regions.Johto starters were good in terms of moveset variety.
