Inviso: By the end of Gen VI, the highest Grass-type in my overall ranking was Bulbasaur, coming in just inside the top fifty. I don't much care for Grass Pokemon, you see. They're either pretty and weak, or ugly and weak, or ugly and easily surpassed by either the Fire or Water starter for any given generation. But then Rowlet came along. Sure, I'm inherently biased in favor of Litten because fire kitty, but Rowlet turned my head (180 degrees, 'cause owl.) Then the final evos got leaked and Decidueye turned out to be a total badass. Incineroar and Primarina still looked good to me (seriously, great starter trio), but they couldn't compare to an owl using its wing as a bow to fire feather arrows. That's AWESOME. AND it would give us a Grass/Flying-type that I could actually enjoy (screw you Tropius/Jumpluff). But then...Grass/Ghost. My heart sank and I was PISSED. Because not only did this remove my hopes of a Grass/Flying-type, but it also made it so I couldn't use Decidueye and Mimikyu on the same team. That sucked. But still, I pushed forward and picked Rowlet, and I'm SO glad I did. Decidueye's design is amazing (best Grass-type, as I've stated), its unique move is awesome, and it's got JUST the right talents to be useful competitively, with some bulk to keep from being a glass cannon. It's a top ten Pokemon overall, and it's definitely the best of this generation.

ctes: Very badass Pokemon. It has such a cool design and gimmick with the bow. Basically a forest elf. The ghost type is kinda unnecessary, as keeping flying would've worked just fine, but it's no issue. Any of flying, ghost and dark would've worked.

StifledSilence: Assassin's Creed Owl was almost my first choice, but I couldn't say no to Wrestler Kitty.

Ermine: Badass Archer Owl. Thank god he turned out amazing considering how Popplio's line was ruined for me.

Cybat: Some minor things about his appearance keep him from reaching the top but this is still a really cool starter. Ghost Pokemon in general fared well this gen.

profDEADPOOL: Owliver Queen best starter family

Raka_Putra: The coolest final evo of the starter by a mile. I was caught offguard by its typing, I thought it'd be Grass/Flying. Cool stuff.
