What if Starter Pokemon had Different Types?

What if GameFreak had used a different type trio for Starter Pokemon?

This feels like that divergent evo thing they did with Wiglett and Toedscool Maybe use the different type triangles you mentioned if your gonna do the other gen starters

[@miikkapoikela1237]

can you making a new pokemons types whit falinks please

[@tanisfox7057]

You try this but with the other starters ps Bulbasaur is a Grass-Poison type

[@miikkapoikela1237]

@@tanisfox7057 but there is more fakemon 1000900800 ?

[@Davaba19]

Love probably the Dustoise line the most, anyway if a sequel was made for the Johto starters I say it would be based on the Fighting, Psychic and dark Totodile would become a fighting type Chikorita a Psychic type And Cyndaquil a dark type

[@pokejolt9908]

I'd love to see this turn into a series. Imagine the triangle of Dragon - Dragon - Dragon... I like the idea of having three Dragon-type Starters, honestly!

[@snoozymac2377]

That won't work, it's supposed to be 1>2>3>1… not any>any>any>any.

[@spicybeantofu]

While neat it wouldn't be a type triangle.

[@artsydragon4874]

Love the new secondary theming for these starters. Adds a lot more depth to these designs than just type-swapping them.

[@galvanizedgnome]

His climate alarmist brain washed ramblings are cringe and embarrassing

[@LaPotatoElegante]

As a Spanish speaker I can't stop laughing at the name Bergasaur

[@DillyBobBanana]

When you can't get away with pen-is-saur 😂

[@matthewmangrum4038]

Thanks for the video Brandon, I'd love to see more. Personal preference, I think a better name for the Ground-type Squirtle is "Dirtle." That's just my opinion.

[@PragMagik]

Didn’t even think of that 😂 great name!

[@connie-michelleharris766]

I don’t know how you did it; but you somehow you made the Bulbasaur line even more awesome, and I love the new Squirtle line and I did not except how the Charmander line went but I like it. Plz do a part 2 soon! I hope it’s the Gen 2 Starters! Even if it’s not this same triangle I’m eager to see what you do with the Gen 2 sweethearts!

[@CoralReaper707]

I hope we get to see more type swaps for the starters. I'd be intrigued to see type swapped Johto starters!

[@joker10148]

I love how the importance of berglasaur’s iceberg is a call back to charmanders tail. Idk if that was intentional or just something a few of us picked up on but that was great.

[@vaporean_boylove.0w083]

Its a happy lil accident but its a briliant one.

[@Terra_Goon]

God Tier Ground types as per usual. Dustoise gets my Ground Type stamp of approval.

[@azurewolf227]

I love it when type swaps give reasons for the changes to make sense. I hope that we see a second part of this concept!

[@metalsonic4.1therobothedge24]

The Charizard deserve a redesign 100%

[@thepanelbiter9915]

I love what you guys did with the Charizard stand-in. It’s so different from the original, but totally in the Pokémon wheelhouse of design

[@thenameisntimportant9008]

I really love that there's a shared theme between the three variants, but that each individual line is trying to act as a foil or contrast with the original.

[@Game_Byle]

I came up with an idea for a ability for the starter: Vergasaur: when it uses a slash/cut move, it has a 40% chance to freeze the enemy Dustoise: when in the red, the opponent’s Pokémon’s accuracy will decrease by one every turn Chromazard: it is unable to flinch and “throw” attacks do extra damage

[@XanderMander006]

I absolutely love this concept, and would enjoy seeing something similar done for all of the other starter trios.

[@purplehaze4942]

The design for the steel types makes a lot of sense as strongmen training (Ex: lifting random objects, running around with them, and putting them down) is usually why these powerlifters you see are so yoked. Also increases muscles around the back to reduce spine injuries from carrying all that weight. Being a Mon born doing those types of activities makes sense why the later evolutions progress so dramatically.

[@migueljrsuazo5499]

I love how it shows how the final forms show more toughness than being likeable and I think they all could be in a Pokemon episode were ash goes to another dimension and uses all three to battle the type swapped forms.

[@JarenceThatShowerGuy]

Recently been binging your content and I really loved your "Diglet for every Type" video. This was awesome! Love the take on the evolution for onion-lizard Bulbasaur- no, BERGASAUR! Verglasaur is just awesome. Plus, that Ice/Ghost typing is plain amazing. And kind of sad. 🙏💙💙

[@Yellow_Balloon125]

As much as I like seeing new pokemon designs, seeing their stats is also really fun, so I decided to make some for the designs! Burglassaur: HP: 102 ATK: 108 DEF: 66 Sp.ATK: 76 Sp.DEF: 78 SPE: 95 It just strikes me as a fast and chunky ice pokemon with good physical attack. Dustoise: HP: 78 ATK: 102 DEF: 94 Sp.ATK: 95 Sp.DEF: 96 SPE: 56 Took me as a slow but very strong pokemon. Chromizard: HP: 100 ATK: 109 DEF: 88 Sp.ATK: 74 SP.DEF: 85 SPE: 78 They all kinda felt like physical attackers to me.

[@joedefilippo9172]

Had an idea based on pawmi being the first pikachu clone to have three stages. What if all pikachu clones had three stages?

[@SesshouFan22]

Chromizard I think is my favorite starter Fakemon I've seen to date! Love the whole idea behind it and Steel/Fighting is an amazing typing.

[@twilightblaze2052]

These designs are incredibly well drawn and inspired!

[@RickyRank]

Ikr! This could easily happen since convergent species are a thing now.

[@adamusprime403]

You definitely should continue this series, and I'd love to see you use different type triangles as well

[@warcaster4009]

One of my favorite starter type swaps came out many years ago. I'll always remember the final stage of a water-type Bulbasaur was called "Geysaur." It blew my mind, and thematically, it was perfect. Cheers on a great video series.

[@AphidKirby]

Ice type Bulbasaur line is soooo clever!! Love every bit of it!!

[@brandonprater4613]

I always wanted to see an electric Bulbasaur, the power plant pokemon! Instead of a seed, it would have a piece of technology placed on it's back at birth. As it evolves, the bulb on it's back would become a full blown Tesla coil... just a thought.

[@benjaminfast5496]

This was incredibly creative! I loved the Squirtle line the best!

[@marshmathis856]

I love that concept !! It's very very cool ! You should do the other starters !

[@joedefilippo9172]

I hope this becomes a series with different type triangles. I loved this.

[@Orantherobloxian]

I love this! You should definitely do more!

[@shadowdragonlord2295]

I love it! Hope you do more. Although I'm more interested in seeing how the starters would look like if they went with that G6 rumor of the starters being part Dark, Psychic and Fighting to counter balance them.

[@Edrogrimshell]

I tend to like Rock > Fighting > Flying, personally. Used it for my own homebrew region (never posted or made artistically)

[@stormrodgers2613]

Dude! These are absolutely AWESOME!

[@pixelsaidon5032]

I can imagine verglasaur's ability being something like "frozen curse",where whoever gets hit by it's claws will have there hearts frozen in a matter of days! Kinda like anna from Frozen.

[@tomforge614]

Wouldn't it be easier to just make that it's signature attack, adding the Ice-type to the target like Phantump and Pumpkaboo do?

[@jakewanimations]

Any physical attacker gets affected by it

[@bunmaster1]

This video is so cool! I hope u do more of this

[@stevieriddle2431]

You should really do a series about this concept. Honestly those three would make a Kanto/Johto playthrough quite interesting if they were real. Hey somebody do a fan game about an alternate Kanto with these three as the starters.

[@Poket_gmr]

I definitely would have picked the ground type here! Squirtle is adorable and this reimagine is cute too. Ground was already my favorite type so this is even better!

[@pokemik1841]

Cool video, i hope to see this for the other starters too, maybe even with others type triangle

[@pokemontrainerduane1]

It’d be cool to see this for other starter trios

[@edenanimates1465]

You can do the psychic, dark and fighting triangle for the sinnoh starters when you come to that Because that’s what people were theorising for the sinnoh starters before they were revealed

[@octo1129]

Rock->Flying->Fighting is also a great trio to experiment on :D

[@thepokemonpirate3460]

This was amazing man

[@FloWoodEnT123]

Great video and designs with this one!

[@elementalcore3454]

New Signature Move: "Glass Cannon: fires shards of glass shrapnel at enemies, dealing damage over time to the target and slight damage to any that switch into battle."

[@amberjackson1137]

I think it would be neat if Pragmagik did a certain starter and it's line of every type series for the starters. For example one episode could be a Bulbasaur and it's evolutions of every type. And so on for the other starters.

[@chrisbuttonshaw2088]

PLEASE more trios. I dunno how many balance-trios there are but please keep going through the Gens until you're out!

[@aries_chaos]

Duuuuude I love the Bulbasaur progression - might just be because I'm a sucker for ghost types but GORSH i love it so much

[@sodium_and_scales]

This needs to become a series

I like how their secondary typings make almost another type triangle, with having a counter against the other typing

[@fohawkish]

I need more of this it was sick

[@AshRavera]

I need more of this.

[@inkaliber7021]

My favorite individual mons from this video are Desertle, Icysaur, and Chromizard. I could totally see these being convergent evolutions of the Kanto starter trio. Please continue this series! I’ll specifically ask for Johto next because I love that trio.

[@inkaliber7021]

Ooh! Maybe you could do rock, flying, and fighting for them!

[@goldengold8513]

Sounds taste like cookies 😀

[@goldengold8513]

[@goldengold8513]

[@goldengold8513]

[@snoozymac2377]

Icebergs are much deeper on the bottom, so Bergsaur should tip over and fall into water with the iceberg pointing down to swim, and here are two other reasons why: 1. the iceberg is obviously more sturdy than the squishy body, so it would discourage water predators from trying to eat it. 2. the iceberg is where the lifeforce of Bergsaur is, which is why bergsaur should keep it in the water so it doesn't get warm as fast since Bergsaur live in cold places where the water is most likley cold.

[@ellienugent6839]

These guys are fierce and have a grim backstory behind them potentially...

[@RayBOSS1957]

Love the vids they have been helping me a lot

[@KaoretheHalfDemon]

I would love more starter type swaps with other regions or other type trios!

[@kiawegamer]

Would be wonderful if we had cowbow Pokémon, specially if they look at these versions for the Squirtle's line

[@LucyRoseLuna]

love that bergasaur kinda got a feature from another starter being chamander since bergasaurs berg kinda work like the flame on charmanders tail. if it´s gone, the ´mon is dead

[@TheCrogun]

Love how you snuck in a reverse type triangle with their 2nd types .

[@above7793]

I would love to see more of these ❤️❤️

[@piotrop6750]

I very much like Desertle line and i hope you will make full series about type swapped starters.

[@AetisCrew]

You know these starters feel like really interesting takes on convergent starters!

[@ricewithadoboandlumpia13]

WOW these are AMAZING

[@diegando2]

THIS IS SO GOOD :D

[@sevenrps]

Pls do this for more starters this is incredible

[@carterkc6429]

You should definitely make a video about a paldean tauros of every type and a swarming Pokémon of every type (wishiwashi is the only one from the actual games, but lochaos and starski are two fan made ones you’ve reviewed in your region review that are both really cool)

[@LufDem]

i can't unsee it. Dustoise's nose looks like a smile

[@philipjohnson844]

I love the eyelashes one the waisttortle because camels have long eyelashes so dust or sand doesn't get in there eyes and sense he lives in a desert it makes sense

[@TheImpureOne]

Now, I really want all the starters in different types.

[@LordRumshi]

It would be neat if GameFreak did a region where it fit the design hues of your ground type squirtle line, similar to Legends Arceus (Hisui region), which plays on the idea of an old west type of vibe.

[@robertgosney5657]

The way you described them I think the steel type Charizard line would evolve into a steel fighting type and while I initially was leaning toward the ice type ghost line but the way you decribed it feels like its base stats would lean towards a physical attacker when normally ice and ghost type move pools support special attackers more on that note it felt like all 3 typings feel like pyscial attackers though the Charizard line felt like it could lean towards a psychial defensive wall. But overall it was some cool looking pokemon designs.

[@DEEENCHIK66]

I love the idea that a chromazad as a strongman weaker than a dustois as a gunslinger

[@Minymonkey]

for my Australia based region that will have regional gen 1 starters, I have also chose the I/G/S (ice ground and steel) triangle but not exactly the same Bulbasaur is now a Ground/Ghost type and is based on the outback (which is funny because its bulb is now a tumbleweed on the *outback* ... lets continue) Charmander is now a Ice/Poison type that is based on the colder regions of Australia and also based on frozen lizards (which aren't dead but could be) and Squirtle is a mono Steel type and is based on the populated areas of Australia and also the more Industrial side of the environment (his shell is just like a Koopa's as well and Blastoise looks similar to Bowser )

[@Turtle_Tai]

That squirtle ground type evo line was amazing! Can you plz do the sinnoh region. Thanks for the amazing vids!!!!!!

[@hibikuokudan]

I like how the new Squirtle has a bandanna pattern on its belly

[@hasanalpgol7151]

[@romanov3937]

I hope you turn this into a series.

[@kennethcampbell2538]

love this! if this was an alternate universe and i had to choose, im going with dustoise!

[@lighttigerxiv]

They all look awesome

[@Cassiopeia167]

Nah bc I’m literally in the process of making starter Pokémon that aren’t normal types, the one I have so far starts as a normal and becomes a flying type, then a flying poison I literally love the idea of different type starters

[@akihirolulablade9731]

These could also work as Unovan variants, due to the American themes. Plus imagine seeing Dustoise/Unovan Blastoise on Clay's team.

[@samuelbattershell3413]

You should do more of these, maybe using other generations too.

[@christopherpeters1731]

My favorite type swapped pokemon line has to be the Ground Type Squirtle Evolution line because of the whole cowboy inspiration.

[@artlunavann6947]

I would love to train the ice starter in the first round of Pokémon in this video cuz it's so adorable

[@LiamNoblet95]

I like the Easter egg of how he made it when bergasaur melts it dies like when Charmander’s tail burns out it dies

[@RvrStyxRasputin]

Not a lot of people talking about the fact that you used a reverse triangle of sorts for the secondary typings. Fighting -> Dark -> Ghost. Ghost doesn't hit fighting super effective, but it is immune

[@pizzaboi0263]

Missed opportunity to call the ground Squirtle: Dirtle, because he's like Squirtle but with Dirt!

[@flowerfaerie8931]

I will FOREVER appreciate the Green/Yellow Lantern reference.

[@christopherpeters1731]

Out of the type swapped starter evolution lines in this video,my favorite is the type swapped squirtle evolution line,because of the whole cowboy aesthetic.

[@RickyRank]

Wow! I would LOVE this if Game Freak ever did convergent species for the starters.

[@hotpotpotato132]

With SV introducing convergent evolution, these designs and alternate type starters are totally plausible!

[@Official_NGMRX]

Out of these three I go with Dustoise which is saying something for me being a big fan of Charizard as it’s my favorite Pokémon of all time because of nostalgia from the anime and also because of the game cover of Pokémon Red

[@gamersread2405]

I would love to see some sequels
