Pokemon starters are generally Fire, Water and Grass. Is there any other typing that would work just as well for starters too?

Psychic, Fighting and Dark. I would love to see GF do that but it'll never happen. Delphox, Greninja, and Chesnaught don't count.

Ghost - Psychic - Dark is a common one people go for. I also just thought then Ground - Electric - Water, and Ice - Flying - Fighting

Not really. No other three type combinations have equal strength, weakness and resistance like Fire/Water/Grass do. They either have immunities, strength but not resistance, resistance but not strength, weakness but not strength, etc. It's the only perfect triangle.

They dont resist themselves. For all the years this triangle was posted, this reason also.

Ends up being part Fire, Water, and Grass.

So many Darkfags. Best alternate starter ideas are either Fighting, Rock, and Flying(with or without an irrelevant secondary typing)

Fairy-Fighting-Steel is a good one too

Hell, even Ground-Grass-Poison would be better than that boring fighting-dark-psychic triangle.

That is true, it was just an badly-thought idea I suppose, sorry. I was going to post 2 more but as I was typing it I updated the page and I was too late.

Rival battles have become so rare and unimportant in the games that I'd say the 3 starters don't even have to be in strength/weakness-triangle.

Actually this is the best among most suggestions. It just doesn't fulfill the tutorial needed for resisting its own

>perfect triangle

This is the closest one, and the only one that isn't retarded. The only problem is they don't resist themselves, but that isn't a big deal.

Even at the verying beginning, grass/poison means grass has an uneven resistance to itself compared to fire and water

water/ground removes water resistance and doubles grass weakness

grass/ground loses both water and ground resistance, gains SE STAB vs fire

water/steel loses grass weakness, and fire resistance
