>>44178783Introduce three more starters and let them be the last starters ever introduced in this entire franchise. Couldn't give a shit about the Chinese Zodiacs. Gen 10 should then offer the choice of one of the already established starters + Pikachu + Eevee for a total of 29 starters to choose from. If GF keeps introducing starters with every gen we'll end up with every animal that's already represented by a Pokemon be represented again through some starter.
Brand each starter with its own personality. I mean most of them already have a clear personality to them just from their official art alone. The anime reinforces a lot of these personalities. Piplup is the goofy and immature one, Treecko is the strong and silent type, Snivy is smug and spoiled while Mudkip is just going about his day. A lot can be said about the final forms of many starters but what can be said about most of them is that they're very well designed. Its a no-brainer here.
