What if Starter Pokemon had Different Types?

What if GameFreak had used a different type trio for Starter Pokemon?

Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy!

I'd love to see this turn into a series. Imagine the triangle of Dragon - Dragon - Dragon... I like the idea of having three Dragon-type Starters, honestly!

[artsydragon]

Love the new secondary theming for these starters. Adds a lot more depth to these designs than just type-swapping them.

[matthewmangrum]

Thanks for the video Brandon, I'd love to see more. Personal preference, I think a better name for the Ground-type Squirtle is "Dirtle." That's just my opinion.

[LaPotatoElegante]

As a Spanish speaker I can't stop laughing at the name Bergasaur

[Terra_Goon]

God Tier Ground types as per usual. Dustoise gets my Ground Type stamp of approval.

I love how the importance of berglasaur’s iceberg is a call back to charmanders tail. Idk if that was intentional or just something a few of us picked up on but that was great.

[connie-michelleharris]

I don’t know how you did it; but you somehow you made the Bulbasaur line even more awesome, and I love the new Squirtle line and I did not except how the Charmander line went but I like it. Plz do a part 2 soon! I hope it’s the Gen 2 Starters! Even if it’s not this same triangle I’m eager to see what you do with the Gen 2 sweethearts!

[CoralReaper]

I hope we get to see more type swaps for the starters. I'd be intrigued to see type swapped Johto starters!

[azurewolf]

I love it when type swaps give reasons for the changes to make sense. I hope that we see a second part of this concept!

[thenameisntimportant]

I really love that there's a shared theme between the three variants, but that each individual line is trying to act as a foil or contrast with the original.

[thepanelbiter]

I love what you guys did with the Charizard stand-in. It’s so different from the original, but totally in the Pokémon wheelhouse of design

[Game_Byle]

I came up with an idea for a ability for the starter:
Vergasaur: when it uses a slash/cut move, it has a 40% chance to freeze the enemy
Dustoise: when in the red, the opponent’s Pokémon’s accuracy will decrease by one every turn
Chromazard: it is unable to flinch and “throw” attacks do extra damage

[purplehaze]

The design for the steel types makes a lot of sense as strongmen training (Ex: lifting random objects, running around with them, and putting them down) is usually why these powerlifters you see are so yoked. Also increases muscles around the back to reduce spine injuries from carrying all that weight. Being a Mon born doing those types of activities makes sense why the later evolutions progress so dramatically.

[pixelsaidon]

I can imagine verglasaur's ability being something like "frozen curse", where whoever gets hit by it's claws will have there hearts frozen in a matter of days! Kinda like anna from Frozen.

[joedefilippo]

Had an idea based on pawmi being the first pikachu clone to have three stages. What if all pikachu clones had three stages?

[migueljrsuazo]

I love how it shows how the final forms show more toughness than being likeable and I think they all could be in a Pokemon episode were ash goes to another dimension and uses all three to battle the type swapped forms.

[brandonprater]

I always wanted to see an electric Bulbasaur, the power plant pokemon! Instead of a seed, it would have a piece of technology placed on it's back at birth. As it evolves, the bulb on it's back would become a full blown Tesla coil... just a thought.

[Yellow_Balloon]

As much as I like seeing new pokemon designs, seeing their stats is also really fun, so I decided to make some for the designs!

Burglassaur:
HP: 102
ATK: 108
DEF: 66
Sp.ATK: 76
Sp.DEF: 78
SPE: 95

It just strikes me as a fast and chunky ice pokemon with good physical attack.

Dustoise:
HP: 78
ATK: 102
DEF: 94
Sp.ATK: 95
Sp.DEF: 96
SPE: 56

Took me as a slow but very strong pokemon.

Chromizard:
HP: 100
ATK: 109
DEF: 88
Sp.ATK: 74
SP.DEF: 85
SPE: 78

They all kinda felt like physical attackers to me.

[AphidKirby]

Ice type Bulbasaur line is soooo clever!! Love every bit of it!!

[octo]

Rock->Flying->Fighting is also a great trio to experiment on :D
