Which Pokémon COULD Be Starters?

I make several brand new starter trios using existing Pokemon

I make Pokemon videos, such as Pokemon Sword and Shield content, Pokemon playthrough challenges, Top 10 or Top 5 Pokemon videos, Pokemon Talk, Pokemon Meme Review, and lots more! If you're any level of Pokemon fan, subscribe for videos you're sure to love!

Perfect type triangle:
Dragon > Dragon > Dragon

"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.

I really like the shiftry, magmortar, seismitoad triangle since it looks like actual starters you could get

[gtdqlmq]

The other thing that ties your Fighting, Rock, and Flying trio together is that all three final evolutions can Gigantimax...with no DLC required.

[d.k.t.]

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.

You KNOW you'd play that...

Since the anime thought arbok evolved into seviper, let's just say, that is the three stage evolution for it.

[olibassily]

For anyone interested, the rom hack he mentioned at the start is most likely a fan-game called Pokémon Zeta and Omicron (two versions) where the starters were Magby, Horsea and Bellsprout.

[ladyskeletady]

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!

"The dragon type probably is a bit OP, since Kingdra no longer weak to fire"
"Both of Ash's Pokémon are Water types, and they're totally weak against Fire types!"

It's an anime error reference lol

[bradley]

For the record: it was Bellsprout, Magby, Horsea. Pokemon Zeta and Omicron... god why do I remember based on SUCH a tiny amount of info...

[malthehartz]

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.

[FreakbertoOfficial]

I recently thought of the triangle Steel, Fighting, and Fairy which would work
Being that fighting beats steel, steel beats fairy and fairy beats fighting.
Just wanted to throw that in

[mazeytube]

"Please make water-dragon, fire dragon and grass dragon starters please" gamefreak "Write that down"

[hongzingpoon]

“The other problem with Kingdra is...”

“Kingdra ain’t got no legs”

[failmeep]

"Kingdra would lose its weakness to fire."
I see that Micheal learned from Brock.

[windee]

honestly I think if chewtle had a middle evolution it would be a great water starter
