No one seems to talk about the second evolutions of the starters.
Here's my order of them, based on design and other factors:
Grovyle >> Charmeleon = Grotle > Monferno = Bayleef = Wartortle = Combusken > Quilava > Ivysaur = Prinplup > Marshtomp > Croconaw
In terms of 2nd evolution starters...
3rd gen > 4th gen > 1st gen >> 2nd gen
Grass > Fire > Water
Like, Grovyle is awesome. For obvious reasons. See: PMD2. It just looks COOL. It acts cool. It IS cool. And unlike Marshtomp, it shines WITH Treecko AND Sceptile, forming the best starter evo line in the SERIES.
Charmeleon is all agile and its colour is awesome and it looks like it's gonna slash you up like a BADASS. Grotle is like, a Koopa, and Ash's was pretty chill, y'know. Nothing wrong with Grotle. He's awesome. And I'm biased.
Monferno also looks pretty badass like Charmeleon. In-between playful Chimchar and complete flaming monkey Infernape. He's ready to do business but have fun. Bayleef is the best second evo of the second generation BY FAR. It's also the best in its evolution line. It gets puns. Combusken gets the Monferno/Charmeleon effect, and Wartortle has the coolness of Blastoise but without the extremely heavy BULK.
Prinplup is pretty average, stuck between Piplup and Empoleon, but not really standing out on its own. Same with Ivysaur but it got points for being in Brawl.
Marshtomp is between two celebrities, being Mudkip who everyone liekz, and Swampert who is AWESOME. Not really its fault, it just has no room for shining. Quilava is just meh. That whole line is a disaster.
Croconaw looks like it hatched out of some omelet-blender with a set of teeth. ...I just don't like it. It's horrible up from Totodile and it just starts the track to ewww Feraligatr who tries too hard.
