    "The main issue with them comes from the 4x weakness to fire"
    For more chaotic gameplay, make all starters 4x weak to the other in the triangle, namely, a Grass-Bug starter being 4x weak to Fire, a Fire-Ground starter being 4x weak to Water, and a Water-Rock starter being 4x weak to Grass.

    If I were to choose two-stage lines, I think Ponyta/Rapidash, Buizel/Floatzel, and Skiddo/Gogoat would be an excellent trio. Three very adorable first stages for players to fall in love with, a fire horse to fit the Chinese zodiac, a water type that can move on land, and a grass type that is definitely not just a plant. Also, all three are mono-types so there's no extra complications there. But what I love about this trio the most is that it actually fits a theme: transportation. Skiddo and Rapidash can be (and are) used to ride on, and Floatzel's floaties and propeller tail make it a perfect lifeboat!

    I'll throw my hat into the ring and say, I've always wanted these Pokémons as a starter triangle: Staryu, Houndoom and Shroomish. If we look away from the fact that they're two-staged, which honestly shouldn't matter much, the fact that they evolve to be able to beat their former counter is pretty cool, and could make for good storytelling with the rival(s) as well.

    Not gonna lie: that "Fire/Rock/Steel" trio makes me think how screwed up the region would have to be for there not to be a Water or Grass option. Then, I thought about Legends: Arceus and how you were thrown back in time by Poke-God to fix things. Now, I'm wondering about a game where you get thrown FORWARD in time to restore ecological order by finding and catching Water and Grass types.

    A fun little tidbit for this video is that the Chandelure line could be worked into a scenario where you think you’re getting a benefit, but if the rival chose the starter “weak” to yours, and the grass starter was Seedot, you’d have a tougher time considering the fact that the entire rest of the line would be dark type, which is super effective *and* resists ghost. And then you can add on the Seismetoad line if someone else gets the third starter, which would just be causing that poor Chandelure to perish on the spot.

    For Grass-Ground-Poison, you could have done Lotad-Swinub-Zubat.

    Well, Empoleon getting the steel type is what really messed up the type triangle. Empoleon got the steel type, so they added the ground type to Torterra, and then that made them resist fire, so they added the fighting type to Infernape, which in turn, made it super effective against Empoleon. Nintendo was like the lady that swallowed a spider to swallow a fly.

      Ice/steel/ground exists as well, although naturally the one who uses ice has an inherent disadvantage if merged with Grass/fire/water.
      Grass/Ice would lose so hard to fire/steel but at least is x4 super effective against water/ground with grass and
      hopefully Freeze-Dry STAB. Of course, it would suck because Grass/Ice has many weaknesses.
      Fire/Ice would be powerful in all except Water/Steel, especially considering x4 STAB Ice types against a Grass/Ground type now exist.
      Water/Ice would still be the second worst because there would be grass/Steel weak to precious few except Fire, which a Fire/Ground type would have. Also, Fire/Ground counters other Fire types and neutralizes an Ice weakness
      Interestingly, the one with the best typing for Ice in relation to the others, Fire/Ice, also results in the Grass and Water starters of Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.

    I honestly hate the concept of “starter” pokemon. Can’t we think of another story element on how we get our first Pokémon instead of a professor giving us one? And why are all starter Pokémon the only ones in existence and never found in the wild!?
    I’d prefer that our trainer picks up an abandoned Pokémon at a daycare or hatches an egg of a random 3 stage Pokémon in the wild or something like that. Like having a Shinx as a natural starter and in the wild you can find a Torchick or something like every other Pokémon in existence...
    I’d like the daycare option best. One Pokémon of every type can be seen in the daycare for you to adopt. And your rival will choose ANY one of them that has a type advantage against you. And you can still catch all other Pokémon seen in the daycare somewhere else in the region.

      I like the idea of receiving a starter from a daycare.
      I would like to see a "Pokemon: All-Stars" game where you basically have access to all pokemon. If Houndour is your favorite Pokemon you should be able to have it as your starter, you shouldn't have to wait for the second part of the game to access him/her. Any basic Pokemon should be available at this Daycare, with the exception of legendaries, which I feel wouldn't match the sprit of the game. Although I wouldn't really care if players wanted to steamroll though the game with Arceus... if that is how they wanted to play the game.
