I was wondering what types have the same relation Grass, Fire, and Water have, so I took the liberty of finding out. Divided into "true" starter trios, and "false" starter trios.
>True starter trio: Type A is SE against type B, type B is SE against type C, type C is SE against type A, type A is NVE against type C, type C is NVE against type B, type B is NVE against type A.
Fire/Steel/Rock
Grass/Ground/Poison
Fighting/Rock/Flying
>False starter trio: Type A is SE against type B, type B is SE against type C, type C is SE against type A. However, the NVE relation is not preserved, either due to being neutral rather than resistant to the type you are strong against, or immune, or weak.
Fire/Grass/Ground
Fire/Grass/Rock
Fire/Ice/Ground
Water/Ground/Electric
Grass/Rock/Ice
Grass/Rock/Flying
Grass/Rock/Bug
Ice/Ground/Rock
Ice/Ground/Steel
Ice/Flying/Fighting
Fighting/Dark/Psychic
Fighting/Steel/Fairy
Ghost/Ghost/Ghost
Dragon/Dragon/Dragon
they'll probably never stop using fwg
it's obvious what beats what for new players, and between the three types you get interactions with every(?) other type in the game
whereas if they did fire/steel/rock then they might end up in a situation where steel is going to just resist everything for the first half of the game
of course they could compensate for this, but fwg gives them plenty of leeway with what other pokemon and trainers you come across
dragon/dragon/dragon would be sick though

True trio also means A resists A, B resists B and C resists c
