Should GF do away with Grass/Fire/Water or should they always keep it?

No. Grass needs a buff, but otherwise they're the best choice. Simple enough that even a kid can understand, all play different roles so it's fun.

getting rid of the starter pattern or even the starters themselves would be TOO formula breaking

Nah, I don't think so. It's kind of a tradition at this point, so removing them might be more of a trouble than it's worth.

Personally, I do want them to keep it. Not starting with Water type would be weird after 7 gens.

Fighting/Psychic/Dark starters would be refreshing. Gamefreak nowadays is doing the unexpected so I'll welcome that.

They'll never get rid of Grass/Fire/Water because it's easy to figure what beats what using real world logic.

Other type triangles require more abstract thinking.

They're not balanced at fucking all. Fighting is a better type than Psychic or Dark. Dark is especially shit with Fairies being a thing now.

Dark is the best it's ever been right now.

>Thinking in competitive terms
No kid is going to use Knock Off or have problem dealing with Prankster. Dark has 3 weaknesses, and is only SE against 2, and they're not particularly bulky or have good offensive stats. Fighting has 3 weakness, and is SE against 5. They're physically bulky and hit hard.

the only other trio that works with out using fire/water/grass
is fighting/flying/rock
might be good if they want to show off offensive/fast/defensive built pokemon

If you think about it that way, why would kids ever not use the water starter? They always get Ice Beam and water moves to beat both other starters.

Well if the problem is 'stats' then why not let some new starters break the stat molds of their types a bit?

>>31294377
but fairy is strong against all three, isn't it?

>>31293975
nah, but I'd like for maybe next generation for the secondary typings to kind of reverse the weaknesses of the starts so each one is suddenly on equal ground with the other.

we already had a psychic/dark/fighting for x and y
water/electric/ground or flying/rock/fighting would be pretty neat though
