>>27982809How about having the canon starters with their hidden abilities right off the bat like a Snivy with Contrary, Froakie with Protean or Torchic with Speed Boost?
But anyways a non-canon starter I would like to take would be like Riolu, Ralts, Pawniard for that Fighting, Psychic, Dark trio theme.
I also would really like to have a Rotom be a starter, as I really like Rotom and I think having different forms and encourage the player to look for electronics during the main game would be neat. You'd still have this one room with all of the electronics for the sake of post-game convenience, but before that you have multiple electronics scattered and availible to use across the region.
And for the sake of balance, since Rotom obtains really powerful moves like: Hydro Pump, Blizzard, Overheat, and Leaf Storm perhaps you'll have Rotom learn weaker electronic moves but learn more powerful electronic moves at higher levels.
Rotom-W: Water Gun->Water Pulse->Scald->Hydro Pump
Rotom-R: Powder Snow->Freeze Dry->Ice Beam->Blizzard
Rotom-O: Ember->Incinerate->Flamethrower->Overheat
Rotom-M: Absorb->Magical Leaf->Giga Drain->Leaf Storm
Rotom-F: Gust->Air Cutter->Air Slash->Hurricane
And a Rotom form can know multiple electronic moves of the designated type like for example Rotom-W can run Scald and Hydro Pump, while Rotom-R can run Freeze Dry and Blizzard.
