So is there a good reason on why there are so many fire/fighting starters? I mean don't get me wrong I like the type combo and I like all 3 of the fire/fighting starters. But whats the reason behind it? Why does gamefreak feel the need to always make the fire starter evolve into fire/fighting?

Infernape and Emboar can be explained by them apparently having the same origin and being from the same story. Blaziken I guess they just thought it was cool. But they really should stop with the fire/fighting.

I think its for the little kids really. A fire type pokemon that can do kung fu would seem cool to a little boy.

People say it's because of that Japanese myth thing, but I think it is because of balance.

And by balance I mean stealth rocks balance.

That way The fire starter can resist them without having a x4 weakness to water with a secondary ground type or a x4 resistance to grass with a secondary steel type

They should just retcon Charizard and Typhlosion into fire/fight.

Then why do Charizard and Typhlosion look much cooler than the other three?

Fire is a great offensive type, fighting is usually a good speedy and physical one, the work really well together, but does give a frustrating Flying/Psychic weakness. Emboar had issues dealing with that.

It is kind of like Bipug/Steel, two types that just fucking go.

Blaziken was Fire/Fighting because it's a Thai kickboxer mixed with a breed of chicken that's been molded into a prime cock-fighting beast. It was a unique typing then, and a really good one too.

Infernape and Emboar are based on Sun Wukong and his rivel whose name escape me from "Journey to the West", the rival was stronger than Wukong but was also a failure. They were Fire/Fighting because... hell if I know.

Personally I wish Emboar had been Fire/Dark and looked like Ganondorf's beast form from Twilight Princess.

They know that little kids tend to use their starter against everything, and a pure type fire can’t do very much against the common early rock types.

For the same reason, they gave Charmander Steel Claw in fire red.
