The trident and crown of Empoleon preceded by princes, the ninja and samurai motifs of Gen 5 and 6.I don’t believe this was the intended pattern for at least 3 Gen but after that, it’s always been consistent and blastoise being part tank was most likely the bases of it all, even Primarina whose name is based on The prime Donna, the First Lady of a theratic/operatic performance and the fact that there’s a passing of songs between primarina and it’s evolution line.
Primarina is a curve ball just like the fennekin line of Gen 6. Every single fire starter before were fighters without an rank or utilized weapons even before the fire/fighting line commenced because of what we know about Charizard’s fighting habits. Gen 3-5 went ahead and gave their fighting nature displince. It all came to a pause with the more mental fire type of the Delphox line even now sporting a wand to assist it. Now we’re seeing that go back to the norm first with Incineroar and even Scorbunny has returned to being physical for now.
