> Fighting/Dark/Psychic starters

I never understood why this was so popular. It's not even a proper rock-paper-scissors set of typings since Dark is flat-out immune to Psychic, not just resistant to it.

>Fighting/Dark/Psychic starting trio instead of Fire/Water/Grass
>immunity
>balance
Pick one.

>complete customization of protag. appearance
Nothing wrong with that.

>expanded underwater environments (coral reefs, deep trenches, sunken cities, seafloor volcanoes, etc)
I hate water.

>expand environments vertically, explore the tops of skyscrapers, forest canopies, mountaintops (pic related)
Fair enough.

>uncatchable legendaries, being able to catch "legendary" pokemon and train them ruins their mystique IMO
>removing a feature is a feature

>day/night plus four seasons
already existed

It's a deviantart meme.
Ignore it.

Fire/Water/Grass is a standard and set tradition that won't change.

Why not Rock/Ice/Grass ?

I think it would be fairly balanced. More than FWG imo. I mean come on, Grass has 5 weaknesses + 4 resists and water has 2 weaknesses + 4 resists. How is that balanced ?

That doesn't work. Ice doesn't resist grass.

they all stack

>Ice doesn't resist grass.
And grass doesn't resist rock.
And rock doesn't resist ice.

Which would be balanced.

>>26875142
>Grass has 5 weaknesses and 4 resists -2 coverage types
>Ice has 4 weaknesses and 1 resist (itself) 0 coverage types
>Rock has 5 weaknesses and 4 resists +1 coverage types

Ice gets shat on

Still better than having to choose between water and grass don't you think ?

>>26875309
Choose between Water and Grass? I can't hear you over the sound of my Typlosion sweeping the Dragon-using Champion of Jhoto, sorry.

>>26875335
I believe you mean the flying-type Champion of Johto.

How about Fighting/Fairy/Poison starters? Not an exact triangle but way more interesting than fire/water/grass.
Alternatively, Fighting/Rock/Flying is an actual triangle.

i hope we get these as secondary types making the weaker starter have an advantage over its primary rival

>Grass/Dark, Fire/Steel, Water/Psychic starters
>Foresty, woodland region
>story is important, like BW
>only one rival, that wants to beat and overcome you but they don't hate you
