What if the starter trio will be a Grass/Flying fruit bat, Fire komodo dragon, and a Water elephant?
peacock, orangutan, sawshark
Wait, that sounds familiar...I once had a concept that was Water-type cat (evolves into Merlion), Fire-type turtle/tortoise with a volcano theming.my concept had a Grass-type starter based on Dwende that evolved into a Leshy but I think all Starters will be animalistic anyways so this will never happen.
>>58414746Too many cat starters...
>>58414755Never enough.
>>58414716>fruit bat God i wish
>>58414755They don't care. Water Cat could be happening any time. Same with monkeys, same with crocodiles, frogs, turtles etc
>>58414716>retarded 5’5” water monkey that speaks a language so harsh it makes ears bleed>psycho Muslim self-immolating fire type>dysgenic freak grass type that changes gender every battle
>>58415109OP asked about the starters not the trainers
>>58414716water elephant needs to be the one mentioned in raichu and gastly dexcopperajah was a stupid copout
>>58414716Grass crocFire batWater orangutanKomodo dragon is the pseudo
>>58414755It would complete the trinity.
>>58414716I'd love to see a fruit bat though I'd expect them to have their flying type be a bird and have it be the regional zubat, not that I'd complain. It'd be neat for it to have in-world interactions with tropius, a regional form for tropius isn't super needed to make it fit the region but that'd be nice to see
>>58414716Fuck off david
>>58414716the starters aren't going to be based on the region. They never are.
>>58416533the gen 8 & 9 starters were themed around the region, but only vaguely. but yeah, people put way too much emphasis on Pokemon designs being directly related to the region. Gamefreak has never really done that. they have a bit more recently, but it's still very loose.
>>58416533Based on migrant cultures perhaps? Like a Dutch or Chinese Pokemon?
>>58416640Arab, Chinese, and Indian mons then
>>58416640no. they will just be whatever animals gamefreak wants to base a starter off whether they have any relation to indonesia or not, with their final evos probably having a vague but not absolute theming loosely related to the region. like usual.
>>58416734Rapey, Chinky & Stinky.
>>58414716The fruit bat is guaranteed for Grass type.
