If you could start with any Pokémon Type, what would you pick?
Pokémon has been relatively consistent by providing you the option of choosing between a Grass, Fire or Water Type starter Pokémon. The lone exception is Pokémon Yellow and it’s Lets’s GO remakes where they give you Pikachu or Eevee(LGE only). Yet if the restriction to the original trio were removed, what Pokémon Type would you pick and, if you have one in mind, what Pokémon would you take?
To answer my own question, I would start with an Ice Type. Ice has horrible defenses I’ll admit, even going so far as being the worst Type for several Generations but Offensively, Ice is among the strongest. For a Pokémon to start off with, I would choose Alolan Vulpix. Vulpix has always been my favorite Pokémon but Ice has always been my favorite Type. When Gen 7 merged the two together, I became enamored with the regional variant. It doesn’t follow the old formula of a 3-Stage Pokémon but who says it has to follow that? Blue’s Eevee in Yellow version never did so why should I?

Probably fire type, can;t go wrong with it.

Fire type, just because of Fennekin. Yeah, it's already a starter, but it's my favourite Pokémon and I would love the opportunity to use it as a starter Pokémon in every game instead of having to transfer it from other games or only being able to use it in the late game or post-game.

Y’all are picking types that you can start with already. I’d go with ghost or dark.

Yeah because you can't go wrong with what works.

Typeless Pokémon would be unique I'll admit. Any particular one you have in mind?
@MonstaDash Got a Fire Pokémon in mind to start with? If I went with a Fire Type, Vulpix would be mine. Not the strongest pick mind you but it gets the job done.

@Lonestar85 Probably Cyndaquil. I like Cyndaquil. But my second choice is probably Tepig. If I am choosing a legendary then it's Entei.
