But even the most diehard fans will admit to the games becoming a little formulaic.
Every mainline Pokemon game begins the same way: players choose between a Fire-, Water-, or Grass-type Pokemon.
This usually ends up being the players main partner throughout their Pokemon adventure.
This golden trio works because every type is resistant against one and super effective against the other.
Almost no other trio of types works exactly in this perfectly balanced way.
But there are some types that almost work that would be interesting to see as starter Pokemon.
Instead of rehashing old games, new ones should choose from region-specific types.
Better yet: let the player pick from completely unique trios in every game.
This combination obviously lacks the resistance angle of a perfect trio.
Still, it would be interesting to see a Pokemon game throw three baby dragons at the player and call it a day.
One in which the player and their rival are dragon tamers setting off to conquer the trials of the Pokemon league.
Dragon-type Pokemon are resistant to a number of common Gym types Fire, Water, Electric, and Grass which makes the player very powerful right off the bat.

This probably wouldnt be fair to an unsuspecting kid who chose Fighting as their starter and then has to watch helplessly as their rival stomps them into the dirt.
First of all, while Grass is super effective against Rock, it doesnt resist Rock-type attacks.
Still, the kind of game that would feature this starter match up would be cool.
It seems like it would be more grounded and natural in tone, pitting several different forces of nature against each other.
When choosing from Fire, Grass, and Water, fans might have a certain early game advantage depending on how the gyms are arranged.
Eventually, all three types have balanced strengths and weaknesses.
But Steel is the obvious victor here even against the Pokemon who becomes the fan-favorite Lucario.
But, while Fighting is super effective against Steel, it isnt resistant to it defensively.
Then theres the fact that Steel-type Pokemon resist so many other types (eleven types total) that would make them an indomitable wall for much of the game.
Unfortunately, including it in any starter match up almost always breaks it.
