I suppose I'll throw in my two cents on the whole Blaziken-Infernape Debate.
I think that while Blaziken is the obviously more "overpowered" one due to Speed Boost + Bulk Up + Flare Blitz + HJK, Infernape definitely has some major advantages over Blasiken as well.
Advantages of Infernape:
- More diverse Move Pool (In Reborn, it is very, very good for a Pokemon to be able to adapt to any situation)
- More conservative STAB choice (You don't have to risk the miss of HJK due to Close Combat existing and Flamethrower / Fire Pledge doesn't have recoil like Flare Blitz
Overall, Infernape is very well suited for players who like to use Pokemon with diverse Move Pools while not relying on risky (recoil / miss-chance) moves
Charizard and Typhlosion are also very discounted Pokemon.
Charizard w/ Sunny Day and Solar Power destroys anything in its path (although the recoil must be accounted for)
Typhlosion w/ Eruption also destroys many Pokemon and takes good advantage of Fields with moves such as Lava Plume and Nature Power
As for Water Starters, Oshawott, while struggling Early-Game, has a fantastic Level-Up Move Pool (SD + Aqua Tail + Aqua Jet + Megahorn)
