Sceptile is definitely more for combat, But I like Meganium for its ability to bring dead plants back to life.

Sceptile is definitely more for combat, But I like Meganium for its ability to bring dead plants back to life.
I like Sceptile better.
Poor Meganium. Don't listen to the nasty people, you're still my favourite starter.
Honestly, I don't really care for either. I just hate how they both look. Meganium is just way to damn feminine looking for a Pokemon that has less than a 13% chance of actually being female. Sceptile would have probably been one of my favorite Pokemon design wise if it wasn't for that stupid ass tail of his. Seriously, what the hell is that supposed to look like? A palm tree or something?
I think the low chance of being Female is more an aspect of Meganium being a starter than anything that has to do with its design. Can't have too many bouncing baby Chikorita (since they're supposed to be semi-rare and all) wandering around.
Props for being what I think was an attempt to appeal to the Female audience, at any rate.
Sceptile and the rest of its line just never appealed to me for some reason. Meganium didn't do a whole lot better, but I'll back it as the lesser of two evils.
I like Meganium because it's such a cutie pie...
But Sceptile is much more used competively because it's stat spread is much more even and useful.
Like what some others said b4:
Power>Support
Sceptile is just too cool to not pick
Poor Meganium. It's getting it's ass kicked here, and Chikorita is getting its ass kicked in the "Worst Starter" thread. What a shame...
Sceptile.Not even a contest.
Sceptile is my favorite of all the Grass-type starters so far, for its speed and offensive power. I especially like seeing it in the anime, where maneuverability is more crucial than in the games.
Meganiums moves make it quite good supporter but I prefer Sceptile.
