Making all starters balance each other gave the game depth and longevity, since they thought competitive would die out some time after the franchise was gone and doing so would make it last a little longer.
That itself gave a lot of personality to the trio, as the way they played in-game added to the way they looked and behaved in the anime and spin-offs titles. If It weren't for Gen III trio they would be the best ones ever.
