Alright, so I can't watch YouTube

I have permission for what they put on the Official Website and what they are doing for the Scavenger Hunt

But that's it

However, I've seen advertising for other videos and they have three starters consistently being shown

I don't remember the Grass type, a Fire Bat, and a Water Elephant with a metal trunk

I don't need any more than those pictures to say that of those are the next starters I will be incredibly disappointed

I'm hoping that it's just fake advertising and not even a chance for them

I'll go with the elephant since it was the cutest of the three but I won't be all that happy with it

So what I want to see isn't what you expect to get

What do you want as the next starters?

For me, I kind of want a Water/Dark cat to complete the Dark cat set

For Fire I kind of want a turtle since we have Squirtle and Turtwig for Grass and Water

However, that's not what I truly want

For Grass, I want a bear. It's bulky and bipedal. It is aggressive and looks like a literal beast. First two stages are Grass and final (the beast) is Grass/Dark or Grass/Fighting. I know we already have starters of those types, but I think it would be cool.

For the Fire it's inspired by a boss I fought on my favorite video game. The boss started out as a kind and majestic creature that played with the kids and was almost like a god. Suddenly it went missing and came back as a beast with only anger and aggression. And somebody thought it was a smart idea to give it a GIANT hammer and nail that it can LIGHT ON FIRE! Yeah. It took me a week too defeat it. I hate it. BUT I NOW BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF HUMANOID MOOSES WITH FIRE!!! I'd use one. I think basic is a cute little moose that is super cuddly. First stage is still kind but gets playfully aggressive, often butting heads and learning to make its horns light on fire (I won't give it a hammer and nail). Last evolution (where it gets part Fighting (only if Grass is Dark)) it becomes the monster. Its primal instincts take over and it rampages on two feet, ramming into everything in its path while covered in flames.

Now, you are probably expecting another monster for Water based on the first two. No. I want a platypus! I've been getting back into Phineas and Ferb again and forgot how awesome Perry is. However, I don't want a part Fighting type (even though it would be cool). I want part Poison since platypus have spikes on the back of its feet that contain poison. It would be the first Water/Poison starter, too!

Anyways, that's what I want

What about y'all?

    Don’t really care what they look like just as long as the Fire starter is not Fire/Fairy. If it is, I’ll riot since it should be reserved for Ninetales. The grass type will probably be a Goat… even though Kalos already did that with Skiddo + Gogoat but Greece is known for being very mountainous and Goats traversing that terrain. Fire starter is rumored to be a Fire Turtle… not that it hasn’t been done while the Water starter is rumored to be a Raccoon… and honestly.. that screams Water/Dark and would probably be my pick if I were to get Gen 10.

    Okay, wait we're back on Greece?

    The most logical for my favorite Mythology is a Water Horse (Posiedon, god of the sea, created horses), Fire Chimera (a mix of animals that can also breath fire), and not sure on Grass. I'm kind of thinking a snake that represents Medusa, but I don't think it would work as a Grass Starter. I can't stop think of nymphs, but those are pretty much humans that represent a force of nature. I would practically be raising a tree human! But, then again, there are many Pokémon that are practically human. Gardevoir, Gallade, Armarouge, and Ceruledge to just name a few.

    I really don't like humanoid evolutions. I'd like them to start as mosters and remain monsters.

    I did like the use of second typing for the evolved forms in SV. Adding a weakness to what would have previously been the starter that would have given them an advantage was very clever. Teaches type matchups for new or younger players, but makes all three more viable later on.

    I would also like rivals to pick the type that gave them an advantage. Giving them an immediate weakness really undermines their role, especially for more antagonistic rival characters.

    Or better yet, let it be random. It could be an interesting factor in repeat playthroughs. Perhaps you could even randomise the rest of their team to a degree as you progress through the game.

    Could do Greek mythology and do Satyr or Dryad for Grass, Chimera for a Fire Starter(even if Hydra would be better… Hydreigon already fills that) and for Water, how about a Basilisk(Water Serpent… with a nickname of Chamber because well Harry Potter and Chamber of Secrets won’t fit).
