Do you have any proof Blastoise has metal cannons instead of being the same material as the shell?

>>Blastoise
>Water/Steel
because Venusaur would lose its advantage.
>Meganium
>Grass/Fairy
because Meganium being bad is a running joke and gamefreak wants it to be like this way. they are huge furry faggots.
>Feraligatr
>Water/Dark
because Dark type is "Evil type" in Japan, and Feraligatr isn't an evil pokemon.
>Serperior
>Grass/Dragon
Why would it be a dragon? also, same reason Charizard isn't a dragon. it would break the starter trio matchup.
>Emboar
>Fire/Dark
same reason as Feraligatr
>Samurott
>Water/Fighting
quadruped and fighting don't fit
>Rillaboom
>Grass/Dark
same reason as Feraligatr.
>Cinderace
>Fire/Electric
electric is a starter type, and they don't give starters two starter types.
>Inteleon
>Water/Psychic
because spies have nothing to do with psychics

all the other starters got a secondary type so why not the aforementioned?

>Dragon breaks the GFW triangle
>see comment #3 which covers this also
>already got a more apt typing to contrast its original design (which made more sense than slapping it on the other two)
>what is it with you needing EVERYTHING to be as edgy as you?
>because they wanted to give it Libero (a term directly related to its theme) and knew people would want the Libero flavour, than the base form, thus made it monotyped to allow people to freely use it
>has no actual connection to the typing in theme, execution or inspiration
Why haven't you learned they don't arbitrarily slap typings onto starters they create? They're among the very first creatures designed for a new Gen, the very first to be introduced usually to the wolrd, thus are heavily, constantly reviewed until GF are happy they fit the role they designed them for. That includes not slapping a secondary typing onto, if they don't feel it mandates it.

Absol is a dark type that spends its free time warning people of disasters. Meanwhile here are some of the blue croc pokedex entries.

It literally fights using the clams on its forearms as swords and its design is inspired by a samurai. Fighting suits it.

All the other starers were designed with dual typings in mind (couldn't make a flying lizard without giving it /Flying on evolution, for example), these were designed to be monotypings, thus your additions are just tacked on.

It doesn't NEED it though, all its sig attacks get Water typing anyway and for what it's worth, Samurai weren't as honourable as the Fighting type is played off in Pokémon.

that's like saying Lions or crocodiles are evil creatures for eating other animals.

>It doesn't NEED it though
The fuck does "need" even have to do with anything? We are talking about weither it fits with the design of the pokemon or not and fighting definitely fits with a swordsman pokemon.
>Samurai weren't as honourable
Ah yes, i'm sure this JAPANESE game wouldn't depict samurais as honorable.

Nah I think that's more like saying that
>Absol is gooder than feraligatr
>Absol is a dark type (which is the evil type according to anon)
>Therefore stuff that is less good than Absol qualifies for the dark type
>Therefore feraligatr can be dark type.
