While I'd love to show Grotle support, Grovyle gets the PMD vote.

"Middle stage starters" is a group that I always thought fell off really quickly in the series. I hate saying it but the first two are the best in almost every instance.

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

Grovyle is one of the best mid-stages out there and easily gets my vote, though I like Ivysaur too. The rest are not good, with Grotle being one of my absolute least favorite Pokemon for whatever reason.

The middle stages are usually the worst for every starter line. Ivysaur in my opinion is clearly the best one here. And probably the best middle stage starter in the entire series.

Man, this group sucks. Ivysaur, I guess.

I absolutely hate Quilladin, especially since it ruined Chespin.

For some reason I REALLY liked Quilladin when it was revealed and it was my entire reasoning for picking Chespin, but my opinion of it has dwindled to "eh" over the years.

Huge step down overall. Grovyle takes it. First three are somehow the best.

Very easily Grovyle. I'm not a big gen 3 fan and honestly even the treecko line outside of Grovyle is pretty ugly but Grovyle is a definite fav perfect design.

Dartrix because he's so preppy and it's fun messing with his 'hair'.

yeah I dont get the Quilladin hate. Its not Ivysaur, so I couldnt vote for it, but its a cute happy ball. Its maybe second or third best here to me.

It's an easy Dartrix vote for me today. It has a solid design that fits a middle stage vibe while not just being a smaller version of its evo/bigger version of its prevo like so many others. I wish it was more popular!

Grovyle is good, Grotle is decent and idc about the rest.

Good start for middle evo grass starters as the first 3 are the best in their lines. I like Quilladin but not as much as Chespin

Ivysaur > Grovyle > Quilladin > Bayleef > Thwackey > Grotle > Dartrix > Servine

Ivysaur gets a boost because he's one of my favorite characters to play in Smash. I like the top four, Thwackey and Grotle are decent, don't much care for the bottom two. I like Rowlett and Decidueye buy Dartrix just doesn't do it for me
