For the grass starter I like the idea of a chalicotherum, which is an ancestor to horses and looks like a horse/gorilla hybrid. It would be a bulky physical mon with high attack, similar to Torterra or Ferrothorn.
For the fire starter, I'm thinking of going for a velociarptor. It would be reptilian by default, but similar to typhlosion or blaziken it would have flames that shoot out in battle in the areas where feathers would be on a raptor. Stats wise, it would be a fairly normal fire type with high special attack and good speed.
For the water starter, I would go with the Ichthyosaurus somoersetensis, which is an ancestor to dolphins (I think). The design would emphasize the large front jaw with large sharp teeth. Stats wise it would be a glass cannon with high speed and attack.
