We're well on our way through Gen VI now, so maybe it's time to think of the future
XY's starters gave us a fire witch fox, a chestnut knight sloth and a water ninja frog as concepts. As for typings, we received the Fighting/Psychic/Dark trio of subtypings that a lot of the fans have wanted. And we finally got a fast water starter!
So here's the question:
What would you like to see from the next starter trio? It can be their design/concept, stats, abiltiies, typings etc. Even just the creature they are based on, if that's all you care about!
-------------------------------
Personally I'd like to see a final Fire starter that isn't bipedal. All so far have been bipedal: Charizard, Typhlosion (in most depictions we see), Blaziken, Infernape, Emboar and Delphox are all bipedal which really annoys me. So if it's based on an animal, PLEASE keep it quadrupedal in its final stage. A more bulkier Fire-type could be interesting too, since all the Fire-type starters so fire end up focusing mostly on offensive stats and even though Fire has some of annoying weaknesses (Ground, Rock, Water) it has the second most resistances in the game after Steel iirc.
Not sure what I'd like to see for Grass. But another fast, offensive Grass-type wouldn't go amiss since there's really only Sceptile so far. Serperior is fast, but it lacks power (without Contrary). And the tanky/support side of Grass has been done to death with Venusaur, Meganium, Torterra and Chesnaught.
I wouldn't mind seeing another decently fast Water-type. Besides Greninja they are all rather slow. So a Water starter around 100 speed would be fine with me.
As for their typings/designs/abilities, I haven't really thought much about what I'd like yet. So I'll probably post back with those another time.
