How about giving the option of 'none of them were handled dirty'? I picked Grookey, but that's only because it had no development yet.
The entire idea that this thread implies that it's just Goh's pokemon makes it seem like another Goh-bash thread in disguise, because Dragonite, Gengar, Sirfetch'd and Dracovish have also been handled like **** aside from their 1 or 2 focus episodes as well.
The only pokémon that hasn't been an asswhipe this series has been Lucario. All other pokémon have had bad handling to 'varying degrees'.
Do not think this is a Goh bashing thread by any means
Just because someone has a problem with the way Starters are handled doesn't mean their are an Anti against their Trainer.
If that were the case I'd be completely Anti Ash for the last 7 Generations lmao
And for the record I was actually considering making a similar thread to this one but with discussion Ash's Journeys Team but I got side tracked and completely forgot about it. xD
But even then I don't agree that they've been mishandled quite as badly as the Galar Starters with the exception of Gengar and maybe Pikachu
With Ash's Pokemon their biggest obstacle is their severe lack of screentime but Dragonite, Dracovish, and Sirfetch’d haven't been particularly badly written so far.
Cinderace, Inteleon and Grookey have all had various holes in their writing which looks even worse as these 3 are supposed to be the faces of the current Generation.
Which only goes to show that the writers think just as poorly of SWSH as the majority of the fanbase does
To matters even worse with the way things are going, this is very likely going to be the very
FIRST fully evolved Starter Trio in the Anime's history and this is the Trio with the least amount of effort put into them
