Would people like the firefighters more if they were some kind of legendary trio?

eh not any more than now, people would probs say the same thing especially if they were in gen5 assuming Emboar.
>Wasted the legend trio spot on the same typing AGAIN?

No, because legendary trios are supposed to be element foils to each other. A trio of the same type would be redundant.

this reminds me, weren't the fire/fight starters all related somehow by some folklore? How would a 4th, assuming Luchalitten, fit in with that?

Something about being based on Journey to the West characters.

What would Blaziken be based off of then?
Only Infernape and Emboar fit the "Journey to the West" bill

>Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf

No, this is wrong. Zapdos disproves this, Thunderbolt trumps the other birds. The dogs disprove this, Entei doesn't have type advantage over any other dog. You're dumb.

Infernape and Emboar are based on 2 of the main characters of Journey to the west. Blaziken is literaly a japanese cock fighting chicken.

Journey to the West. Infernape corresponds to Sun Wukong, or Monkey. Emboar corresponds to Zhu Bajie, or Piggy. There is a third character, Sha Wujing, or Sandy, that hasn't been represented yet, though Swampert seems to fit the bill.

Overall, a very good book. I recommend it.

nah, the thing about the lake trio is that they do serve different purposes.
Azelf is a sweeper, with higher speed and attack stats, plus he starts with nasty plot.
Uxie is a tank, with more defensive stats, and starts with amnesia.
Mesprit is a mix between the two, and gets calm mind.
I personally really like this trio because they're the only trio with real stat distribution.

Yes, it was and they are stupid. I forget about them more often than phione.
And it would be especially stupid to make a legendary trio that are not just the same type, but dual types with the same dual type. People would complain about them like they do the genies, but even more so because they're even less varied. The trend would be disliked even more.

ah i think that's just my mistake and the typing relation there between Blaziken and the Journey to the West guys is coincidental.

>>28598546
also I know the actual differences between the Lake Trio guys both thematically and practically, it's just funny that they're all still Psychic when the original commenter I replied to said simply the typing similarity would make it redundant.
