>>38400204Because "fire" animals don't really exist. For water types you can use aquatic creatures, for grass type you can use herbivores or insects, same for bug type, etc. Many of the non-natural (I'm not saying fire isn't part of nature, you understand what I mean) are animal+typing slapped on. Charmander is a clever idea because of the whole fire salamander myth, but yeah, unless you base it off of myths or preconceived ideas/tropes, you'll pretty much end up with animal+typing. That's also why Sobble is an interesting pick, it's the first water starter that isn't an actual aquatic creature, but rather animal+water typing slapped on.
