Just out of interest, what do people think of the Galar starters?
I heard some people saying that they don't like the Galar starters, so I was wondering what people think.

I really don't like them. I think they are the worst starters. The only one I have any positive feelings towards is Scorbunny, and those end the second it evolves.

I don’t hate them, but weren’t that bad either. Though in one sense that’s a big failure since starters tend to be the best Pokémon in general. I do think that they all had really good starting forms tho.

They are good starters but definitely weaker starters compared to the other generations.

Sobble is cute and I think Raboot is cool, but other than that I think they're pretty boring.

Unqualified to really comment given that I haven't played Sword/Shield but to argue that the Starters are bad has to take into account the Regional Gyms/Elite 4, their movepools and more importantly, other Pokémon, including those of the same Type, that can do the job just as well or better. Whether that applies to Gen 8 I'm not entirely sure, but I can say with relative certainty that Gen 1 certainly falls into that category. They've gotten big buffs since Red/Blue days, starting with Yellow version giving Charizard the ability to use Fly to give it an actual Flying Type move but Kanto starters in Red/Blue simply are bad. I don't think the Galar trio surpasses the original trio in terms of being replaceable on a given playthrough.
