Why don't we have a single Normal type starter that can

doesn't demonstrate the triangle and heavily reliant on factors that wouldn't be obvious to younger players

Flying/Rock/Fighting would've been cool

Grass/Fire/Water is easy for newcomers to figure what beats what using real-world logic.

Most other triangles aren't that easy to figure out.

>>27574766
Grass-Fire-Water has the perfect combination of type effectiveness to easily convey the concept to newer players

>>27574766
Remember, every game is potentially the first game for one or more players. Having the first Pokémon you receive have a branched evolution would be confusing, and would also remove the early exposure to type matchups.

Not to mention that, in several games, the starter has been the first fire or water type you'd have access to for a while.

>>27574766
Although Fighting-Dark-Psychic would be better because there is that non-effective typing in there

>>27574946
Wouldn't work. Not only is there inequality, but it's not immediately obvious about their weaknesses.

Anyone have a handy chart or explanation of all the type triangles?

>>27574766
I've done Eevee runs of HGSS and XY, they're pretty fun

I was thinking that after the second gym (which gyms are kill, so maybe at a certain level) the regional professor calls you back to the gym and let's you select a type for your starter and he evolves it for you.
And he would do so again after the 5th gym (or whatever level) and let you select another type creating a custom Type combo determined by the player.

He could give you the type match ups.

I was thinking after the 5th gym (or at a certain level or spot in the campaign) the professor calls you back and let's you choose a type and evolves your starter.

He does so again after the 5th gym (or level/spot in the campaign) for a secondary type.

Letting the player create a "custom" Pokemon of sorts.

He could explain the type match ups before you choose.

This shit sounds retarded as fuck.

>>27574766
wait... gyms are gone?

>suggests the most convoluted starter system ever conceived

Keep it simple.
An eevee style starter only really works if you already get type match ups. Getting an eevee around gym 3 or 4 works fine.
