Why not evolve Charmander into a ground/water type and base him off a drake?

[@THE.OLD.CALLER.BRONZONG]

WOW IM MAKING A POKEMON GAME AND WE PICKED TORCHIC TOTTODILE AND SERPERIOR THIS IS CRAZY

[@slylanders1291]

They're all good! It'll be tough for me to pick out one in their respective regions since I like regular Cyndaquil and Treecko to begin with and I chose them for my Pokemon Crystal and Ruby copies while playing the games. I want to see the evolutions to this batch of newly typed starters, and more of the other starters get new typings.

[@nelsontaylor26]

evolution is what I want.char char could have a evil moustache evo. bulbi could be a biblicaly accurate angel and squirt a geodude-turtle.

[@nelsontaylor26]

squirt could have a gemmy shell like diator from a different video on another channel i think.

[@thymont]

A good idea could be "What if the starters were in any other role?" For example, rowlet as the regional bird, turtwig as fossil, etc.

7:30 The second set uses almost identical types to the starters in a fangame called Pokemon Fool’s Gold, except the typings are Ice for Cyndaquil, Flying for Totodile, and Fighting for Chikorita.

The gimmick of that game is that EVERY POKEMON has its typing changed in some way.

[@CoralReaper707]

Any new type triangle would be a dream come true. Many Pokemon traditions are getting kinda stale.

[@taylorchesser8990]

I do love the starters you have here, my only nitpick is that as sets the color balance is a bit wonky. Johto has both Totodile and Chikorita as white and light blue, and Hoenn's Treecko and Torchic are grey and orange. The designs themselves are great, I would just alter some of the color choices.

[@Yoshigamingchannel]

I think cyndaquil is the best starter too so that’s definitely my favorite it looks so cool can’t wait to see what fighting type typhlosion looks like

[@AhmedMohammed-pf3jk]

Already found abilities for em , Windborne (Overgrow but for flying type) , Trainee (Blaze but for Fighting types) and Lithified (Torrent but for Rock types) , Some Secret Abilities would be (For Bulbasaur : Thick Fat , Charmander : Limber , Squirtle : Sand Veil, Cyndaquil : Steadfast , Chikorita : Gale Wings , Totodile : Defiant, Treecko : Soundproof , Mudkip : Slush Rush , Torchic : Rough Skin

[@nighthawk0913]

If the flying Bulbasaur stayed as a flying type, I think Cirrosaur, Stratosaur, and Nimbosaur would be cool names. The friendly little cloud gets bigger until it evolves into a full storm cloud. It's the first thing I thought lf when I saw its design. If they gain the grass type, they could be called Bollosaur(after a cotton boll, which is cotton while still on the plant), Mallowsaur/Malvasaur(after cotton being in the mallow family), and Gossysaur(after gossypium, the genus of the cotton plant)

[@kimberlylamm7677]

That’d be a great idea for region variants.

[@greopons2309]

Here is another perfect type triangle that u can use: steel, dark and fairy. These types are more unique than the others you used and could be interpreted very creatively in the design of the starter Pokémon. I hope you could make a new starter trio with this perfect type triangle, that would be amazing!!!!

This isn’t a perfect triangle as dark isn’t super effective against steel. Only neutral

If CHarmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle kept their original types in the final evos, it would make a triangle and reverse triangle (fire -> Grass -> water) and (fighting

[@pokemontrainer9285]

That’s such a cute Chikorita I like that its leaf is a feather it’s so cute.

[@Gashnaw]

I am working on a rom hack and my starters are still the Kanto starters, but with new forms and typing. They still hold the Original triangle (Fire, Water and grass.) But they gain the Rock, Flying and fighting as a secondary typing and reversing type effectiveness. Fire having rock type to combat the flying type of the water starter... Bulbsaur is the fire starter, and has rock as a secondary typing. Charmander is the water type, and gains Flying once again as Charizard Meaning Squirtle is the grass type, and picks up fighting type as he second stage as wartortle. Squirtle had two reasons for being fighting First, I had already decided on the second type triangle being implemented, and Wartortle was "WAR" in the name, battle. Which is why he only gets it at second stage. The design also is more of a snapping tutrle as they are rather agressive. Bulbasaur has a valcano replacing the bulb. It stats off as just a rock, but since it is a fire type it needs to keep that. I know volcanos are liquid magama which is more of a ground type, but to keep the typing i went with rock. Which brings me to Charmander, nothing to special, the sprite is clean though. Unfortunately giving him flying made him the best starter. x4 against Fire/Rock and X4 against Grass/Fighting.

I love this video and video idea, I need more of this and more flying type bulbasuar and flying type bulbasuar evolutions

[@tkfarms7882]

Obligatory disclaimer: while opinions will be had, I will try to keep mine constructive. The first trio of starter variants is, of course, the OG Kanto trio. Bulbasaur is Flying, Charmander is Fighting, and Squirtle is Rock. I'll be addressing these designs in no particular order, but I'll keep each variant trio together in their set. First off, Fighting-type Charmander. Honestly, I'm not really sure what this is supposed to be, and if you asked me to guess what type it is without telling me beforehand, I'd probably assume it was Ground type, not Fighting type. There just isn't really much in the design itself to specify the Fighting type as opposed to any other type, and Hoops doesn't give any explanation as to Charmander's design inspirations or details, so overall this variant just feels confusing. (In fairness, I've been working on a partially Fighting-type Charmander line myself and have still not really figured out the secret to that one.) Also, I have no idea what is up with those whisker-like protrusions on the sides of the head. Squirtle and Bulbasaur, however, are both solid designs... well, okay, Squirtle is solid and Bulbasaur is more gaseous. The Rock-type Squirtle is a rather obvious choice, given its hard shell, but the gems on the shell, the patterns on the belly, and the rocky shape of the tail make it quite clear that a lot of thought has gone into how Squirtle translates into the Rock type. The two-tone eyes also help to sell the 'rough-cut gem' look this adorable cutie has going for it, matching both the shell gems and the belly pattern. Honestly, it's hard for me to pick a favorite between Squirtle and Bulbasaur, because while Squirtle absolutely makes all the sense of the world, Bulbasaur is straight out of left field and so well put together that it doesn't freaking matter if its design inspirations are seemingly incongruous. (And to be fair, raining frogs is an occasional legitimate weather phenomena. For some reason.) It's a flying Bulbasaur with a big white fluffy cotton cloud on its back; what's not to love? This second trio has accomplished something that Game Freak never could: it's made the Flying-type Chikorita look equally pickable compared to Cyndaquil and Totodile. I mean, just look at that gorgeous feather on her head; she looks like a regular little diva and I am all for this. (The boa-esque fluff around her neck is a nice touch, too.) I'm curious to see what this gal will evolve into. The Fighting-type Cyndaquil is a scrappy little fighter. I love how the flames have been converted into actual quills, and how the X-shaped scar on his face indicates his Fighting type, which is arguably the sort of thing Charmander should've done to make it stand out more as a fighter. His expression and pose also work well to sell his personality, and he looks great with the squad. Ice-type Totodile is a cool design (no pun intended), even if in a real-world context an ice crocodile doesn't really make much sense. I like the large ice crystal spines on its back that vaguely resemble a snow-topped mountain. Finally, the Hoenn starters. I know everyone and their mother lieks Mudkip for some reason, but I've always been a Treecko gal myself. However, Ice-type Mudkip is magnificent. The color palette, the fin shapes, the icy gills... everything about this design simply screams 'Pick me!' This is probably the one case where I'd genuinely prefer Mudkip over Treecko, aside from Hoops' other starter variant video where he made an epic awesome Water/Ghost Swampert. And speaking of Treecko, it's not bad either. A Rock-type with literal rock star vibes, this could easily take the Hoenn contest circuit by storm. I like the orange, grey, and black color scheme and the sharp crystal shards that give it a punkish look. I wonder if its final form gets a Mega Evolution, and if it has Punk Rock as an ability. (Um... are there any sound-based Rock moves?) And finishing off the review, Torchic the Ground-type quail. Honestly, chickens are also birds that spend most of their time on the ground, so a Ground-type chicken wouldn't have been beyond the realm of possibility, but making Torchic look like a quail is just such a well-executed idea that I can't possibly dislike it. From the fluffy dust-colored wings to the oversized head feather, everything about this design screams adorable. I wish I could pick both it and Mudkip, but alas, none of these designs are actually canon to the games anyway.

[@Pailers]

OH. MY. GOD. Those Kanto starters are SO adorable and perfect and I'd die for them.

[@user-ox3dl6no2c]

If these were convergent pokemon or just different Pokémon some cool names that would keep most of the same sounds could be Nimbusaur (Nimbus), Durtle (Dirt), Sparmander (Spar), Plumarita (Plume), Belliquil (Bellicose), Frigidile (Frigid), Geocko (Geo), Mirchic (Mire), and Snokip (Snow)

Theres like just as many trios as there is typings. The first thing i thought when you said not that many without the main 3 was dark, psychic, fighting

[@starlex5867]

I was js thinking abt this wow

[@RoyArkon]

I actually don't like the idea of new Types for Starters, one part of the charm of Starters for me is their Types and the perfect triangle of Grass-Fire-Water. The only way I would like to see it is with Regional Forms and only if they keep the Grass-Fire-Water triangle on top of additional Types, which we already saw in Legends Arceus. I do like Rock Squirtle though, I like the green crystals coming out of it's shell. If you would make it a Water/Rock Type that would be great.

[@nickdentoom1173]

So my problem with the Johto starters, especially Cyndaquil and Chikorita, is that they share the exact same typing with Charmander and Bulbasaur. So the ideal would be Chikorita - Ice Totodile - Fighting Cyndaquil - Fire (His quills being used as a propeller). Now, this means that Hoenn in itself is a problem as well, as Totodile and Mudkip share a type here as well... however, considering we cannot make Mudkip Rock type either (Since then it shares a type with Squirtle). So Chikorita, Totodile and Cyndaquil being my types is better. This way, no flipped type shares a starter type.
