You know, despite being called the Grass type, there is not a single Pokemon out there that is actual grass.

will probably follow the Cool, Macho, and Femine tempate they've been using since Gen vi, or arguably Gen v

Fire starter will be based on Chinese Zodiac, being the cool slim one (has yet to fit into that trope yet) - Snake

Water will be a bulky macho fucker as the two latest ones have been cool and feminine - Hippo

Grass will be token girl choice despite the gender ratio bullshit - Deer

You better mean that you want a fire tank rather than fire glass cannon #8. In that case, sure.

What I want though is
>A Grass type that's a jungle tree with long vines, evolves into a Grass/Electric with good attack and hp that slaps people with it's electric vines that look and also function like extension cords
>Going off >>31198618 A fire type that starts out as a floating ember, evolves into a will o wisp, and last evolution is a fire/ghost that has a humanoid shape (Why the FUCK has this not been done already? There's already the move Will o Wisp)
>Water type that's basically a sea snake with legs and no one knows why it has legs but it does, evolvutions make it water/poison look more mutated, giving it arms, then making it really big while it's head, spine, tail still look like it's one long snake.

I'm going full autism and giving my regional staples. Not just starters.

>Starters
Grass > Grass > Grass/Fighting
Calf > Bull > Minotaur
Fire/Fighting happened 3 times in a row. There is no reason to suspect we wont get another /Fighting starter sometime.

Fire > Fire > Fire/Fairy
Rabbit.
Magician related design elements.

Water > Water > Water/Steel
Squid with elements of
Sharp object >Hook > Harpoon

>Common Tropes
Early Route Bird:
3-Stage Normal/Flying Blue Jay. Maybe Flying/Ice?

Early Route Normal-Type:
2 Stage Porcupine. Steelworker as an ability.

Early Route Bug:
Cocoon > Hatchling > Worm
It would keep its hard cocoon on the end of its tail and use it like a club. New ability that boosts tail attack moves.

>Pikachu Clone
Jerboa
Electric Type. I don't now if it should have a secondary type.

>Pseudo
Bug > Bug > Bug/Dragon
(large) caterpillar > huge chrysalis > enormous Dragon-Headed Caterpillar (pic related)

Despite animal inspirations not being native to the area in the real world, the reion would be based on New England with each of the 6 real-world states represented as a major town in game. Some states that have lots of landmarks/areas of interest could be broken up and represented as multiple towns.

>League
Best of both worlds. There are Gyms and Trials. Trial Captains are the region's version of Kahunas while the rest of the league is more traditional. The 18 types are represented by the 8 Gym Leaders, 4 Captains, and Elite 4. The Champion uses a mixed team.

I actually love the idea of an African region, but my ideas for starters went like:

Grass Cheetah (Becomes Grass/Dark)
Fire Zebra/Quagga mix (Becomes a Fire/Fairy pegasus, It's a little over the top but I'd love to see a pegasus pokemon)
Water Kingfisher (Becomes Water/Flying, Hippowdon just needs a Ground/Water regional form)

Have an idea for a water starter based off of various cephalopods

>First stage
A cute light blue/purple snail with an off-white shell and no distinct head except for a pair of eye stalks and 2 or three tentacle looking things for a mouth (think zoidberg)

>2nd stage
Develops a distinctive head (shaped like a cuttlefish's body) while retaining its eye stalks and mouth from its previous form. Also develops a pair of stubby arms. Other than that, it just gets bigger.

>3rd stage
Becomes a lot bulkier and grows a pair of proportionally-small legs,arms become massive. Overall has kind of generic-monster shaped body. Shell by this point has become massive (but not obnoxiously huge), spiraled and spiked. Head retains the cuttlefish theme, with more/larger tentacles and an angry expression with 'spiral eyes' like pic related.

Nut sure about typing, maybe water/psychic or water/dark with a hypnosis theme? BST/movepool is very tanky, with a ton of defense boosting moves and access to a psychic version of giga drain/leech life

Protip: all mammal starters are shit except Typhlosion who is mediocre as balls.

>You better mean that you want a fire tank rather than fire glass cannon #8. In that case, sure.
Because Emboar and Incineroar went over so well.

Fuck I didn't even know that existed. That is basically what I wanted yeah but more focus on the cordage I guess. It even knows power whip.

Emboar is definitely not a tank, he just has good hp. Incineroar has pretty balanced stats but I wouldn't really say he's a tank.

Honestly either way though, I just want a fire type that's not a fighting type or looks like it's mainly physical. There's really only two, technically one that fits that whereas the grass and water starters all are pretty varied in design imo.
