Removing Gyms from the Basic formula was obviously a big step

>Not supporting the removal of Gyms
What are you, fucking stupid?
Bet you bitched that HMs are gone too

The starters don't really need to form a type trio anymore, since the games have started to move away from the importance that your rival's starter used to have. They can just as easily do what they did with Gladeon if they want a trainer with a Pokemon strong against your starter. (hell, even BW changed the entire first gym depending on your starter)

Y'all jokers must be crazy if you really think keeping the same typing on startersis a good idea
Give me a single fucking reason why this shouldn't be changed

>The standard Starter Trio needs to fucking die off for good
No, there's no good reason for them to be removed or the formula to be change.
If anything i would like them to go the rockruff way and implement split evos based on game versions or evolution stones, that way i they would be much more fun and you and your friend could pick the same starter and not have to worry about having a mirror match

>completely different types
Give me one good reason to do that.

I'd be down with this, there's plenty of ways you can go.

>>31080988
Is there a good reason we get the same shit every time except for consistency? It's not like there's some kind of rule that new trainers have to start out with one of those three types.

>>31080645
The only thing that is "the same" are the primary types. I've seen a whole lot of hacks try this different starter bullshit, and frankly, I hate it.
If someone dislikes a particular starter, don't pick it. You are given three choices. If you dislike all three, then the problem is likely with you, not the starters.

Either way, there's no real reason to change their types. Don't try to fix what isn't broken and all that shit. "The same thing" isn't a valid argument, since people WILL use a Fire, Water or Grass-type Pokemon in their teams. You're just getting one early.

Because starters teach new players about how types work, you fucking retard. Water > Fire > Grass is super fucking basic and even a boar could learn it.

I'd be down for a

Fighting/Fairy/Steel trio
Represents Attack, Magic, and Defense

Fighting/Dark/Psychic trio
Represents Honour, Cunning, and Knowledge

Ground/Ice/Steel
Represents Stone age, Ice age, Modern times

Any of these would be easy to understand and would give them a good shake up. Its boring seeing the same old red/blue/green colour schemes.
They also need to give starters regional variants to fix some of them. Imagine a fairy Delphox that picks up where Braixen left off instead of going all hobo wizard.
Pure Fighting Samurott that makes sense.
Dragon type Charizard, etc.

No, no it wasn't. GF completely failed to recognize the problem of the Gym system and then went and made a system that accentuated it's flaws.

What? The trial areas were straight up more fun than the gyms
