Can you believe there have been twenty-six starting Pokemon (first-form) alone now?
Although we’re probably still some ways off from seeing a completely new rock/paper/scissors type triangle for the starting Pokemon, even in the games that follow recently announced Pokemon Sword and Shield, it’s still fun to wonder how different the games could’ve been if something as ostensibly minor as say, the types of the three starting Pokemon had been switched around.
Reddit user I’ll Be Frank Wit You has done just in the following series that sees the starting Pokemon from past generations reimagined.
Generation I
Fire/Water/Grass
Water/Grass/Fire
Generation II
Fire/Water/Grass
Water/Grass/Fire
Generation III
Fire/Water/Grass
Water/Grass/Fire
Generation IV
Fire/Water/Grass
Water/Grass/Fire
Generation V

Water/Grass/Fire
Generation VI
Fire/Water/Grass
Water/Grass/Fire
Generation VII

Water/Grass/Fire
