As someone who's used Meganium many times through many different games, I can quite confidently agree. It's a nice Pokémon, but when your best level-up moves are Razor Leaf and Body Slam . . . oof.

Just linking this because it made me laugh and I hate Chikorita. It's easily the worst designed starter period in my opinion. It's a shame, because Typhlosion and Feraligatr are some of my favorite Pokemon of all time, but the Chikorita line is just nope.
>Charmander at number 5
Ouch, that must hurt some people. Not me though, I never really liked the Charmander line. Froakie at number 9 though. Seriously?
Back on topic, I really feel bad for Chikorita. I used to really like the Chikorita line before I played Soul Silver (as in I used Cyndaquil and it really grew on me, I never hated Chikorita). I'm kinda sad to see that it has such a low standing, even though I kind of knew it.
idk man. the fact that chikorita gets razor before level 10 is absolutely disgusting. Also I feel like since meganium has nice bulk it makes it an excellent candidate for toxic stalling when you're under level'd or doing a stupid crystal hard mode rom hack.
All in all, I think this TJ from the comments section described it best.
unbelievable. absolutely absurd.

Brock's easy regardless but Misty is kind of annoying but you can go to SS Anne first or use Pikachu/Oddish/Bellsprout or just some stage 1 like Pidgeotto/Nidorino. Bulbasaur's annihilation of the earlygame is definitely better though and more likely to last you until you get more dudes and Squirtle can get around being screwed by gyms 3/4.
and then there's castform
just logged in to say LEA(F)VE CHIKORITA ALONE I LOVE IT!!!
Was it all worth throwing away?
