What is your favorite Unova starter?

I can relate somewhat since I find Jalorda (Serperior) to be a step down from its two previous stages in terms of design.

Oshawott Squad
Oshawott has to be my favorite starter from the Unova starters. I see how people may not like it's evolutionary line as it goes from a biped to a quadruped. But I think Samurott is a great final evolution.

My issue with Samurott is that it resembles a sea lion more than a sea otter, which I've always found weird for a Starter Pokemon.

Samurott is indeed a sea otter, but he also has elements of sea lions and, of course, samurais.

In some way I thought that was cool because of the samurai motifs and I used to have Oshawott as my favourite Unova starter for a while. But since Serperior has gotten more attention in the competitive scene, I don't like the Oshawott and its evolutionary line as much these days.

In some ways it's similar to the theme the third-stage Kalos starters went with: Chesnaught is a paladin, Delphox is a mage, and Greninja is a ninja (obviously). So both the Gen 5 and 6 final-stage Water starters are based on feudal Japan.

True but to be honest I used to like the scalchop Oshawott and Dewott used as weapons because I never thought shells could be used as weapons in the first place. I thought that was a cool thing too.

I feel like this bears mentioning since I didn't bring it up in my original post, but there's another reason I chose Snivy.

It's a tie between Oshawott and Snivy for me.

If Snivy's Hidden Ability wasn't, well, hidden, it'd be my joint favourite. But, since the beginning, Oshawott and its' evolutions have been my favourite, Oshawott because it was adorable in the anime and Samurott because it looked cool and had a good moveset and stats.

Snivy. I'm a sucker for grass-types, it's arguably the closest thing to Treecko besides Treecko, and it's smug.

Oshawott line - Dewott is amazing and so is Samurott (it probably should've stayed bipedal though)
Snivy is cool but even though Serperior and Servine are alright, I was expecting it to turn into something cooler looking

Back when Tigers used to smoke.
So I learned something new a while back. In Pokemon Adventures, Blake (or to some of you Nate of BW2) has a Dewott. One thing I noticed for the first time is that it's always looks like it's pissed. So what I learned was, apparently that's how Dewott's were always designed, looking pissed off. Someone added even more information that Blake's Dewott literally has the serious nature lol, along with the rest of Blake's other Pokemon. I just thought that was funny and it sounded too coincidental for the writer of Pokemon Adventures to established Dewott's pissed-off look even further lol.
