The game just assumes you pick the Grass starter because it's the first in the Pokedex (or game data)

Because out of the three possible teams the rival can have, Victini never appears?

You don't seem to get it so I'll try to explain this a bit better.
>Rival can have one of 3 teams for their battles
>>1 - team Grass starter
>>2 - team Fire starter
>>3 - team Water starter
Victini isn't a Grass, Fire or a Water starter. Especially in games with multiple people using a starter based on your pick (BW, XY, SM) it's just easier to order them assuming scenario 1 (Player picking grass starter), scenario 2 (player picking fire starter) and scenario 3 (player picking fire starter) happen so you don't get Cheren and Bianca with the same starter or them changing team midway through the game because the order didn't have any logic behind it.

I won't say OP isn't full of bullshit but
>he game just assumes you pick the grass starter
If that was the case then every starter assumed by the game in the videos would be a grass starter, but GSC has a fire starter and HGSS and DPPt has water starters

This triggers my OCD as it would've made more sense for the BW2 protag to have the one weak to BW protag's

That and it makes more sense for Silver to have a big scary Feraligatr over a fucking Megashitium.

protags and rivals are always depicted with different starters, there isn't really a canon for starter choices
>red has bulbasaur in rby art, generations and lgpe, charmander in origins, all three in the pre-lgpe games
>ethan has totodile in art from both gsc and hgss, and lyra has chikorita in hgss art
>brendan and may both have torchic in rse art, but brendan has treecko in the oras trailer and generations
>official art from platinum depicts dawn with infernape and barry with torterra (so lucas would be the protag with piplup)
>hilbert and cheren have tepig and oshawott in official bw art
>nate, rosa and hugh have tepig, snivy and oshawott respectively in the b2w2 trailer
>calem and serena have froakie/charizard and fennekin/blastoise in art from xy
>sun has both incineroar and decidueye in usum art
there are no canon starters, just pick your favourite or who you think best fits the protag and their rival

i don't know, i like the idea of silver bragging about this starter he stole from elm, saying it's stronger than the player's starter, then sending out a shitorita
