Stop it With the Same Starting Pokemon
Death, taxes, and a new Pokemon game that features a Fire/Grass/Water Pokemon starter. Those are things you can always count on in life. Come on Gamefreak, shock us. Give players something different to choose from this time around.
Maybe when the Pokemon first debuted 20 years ago, those three types made a lot of sense to help you tackle certain type match-ups throughout the game. However, with 700-plus and counting Pokemon to choose from now, we can find a different Fire/Grass/Water to replace the starters. Seriously, we’ll be OK Gamefreak.
And if you’re worried about balance, why not try then Dark/Fighting/Psychic, three types that also have balance synergy. Gamefreak, just go ahead and try something new. We promise, it’s not as scary as it seems and you might just have some fun doing it.
And just a little baseless speculation before we move on. Maybe Sun and Moon is called what it is because they are two new types that could be featured as starters. Maybe, but probably not. Fully expect to have a Fire/Grass/Water starter.
