a rant about the Fire type starters

It's still awful.

Only super effective against Grass? Ouch.
 
Crobat is not that great, he's alright though.

And the only reason Tentacruel is good is because of Rain Dish.
 
How many people use Gengar's Poison type to attack?

Gengar would be the exact same Pokemon if he was just Ghost type.

HEY WOAH WOAH WOAH ARE YOU SAYING WHAT I THINK YOU'RE SAYING

Probably not, except for the misspelling. It should be Cyndiquill or something more similar to that.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT


ARE YOU CRITICIZING CYNDAQUIL

Nope, in fact he's awesome. It's just that Chikorita and that other water starter Pokemon (I'm not even going to attempt to spell it) are also very awesome starter Pokemon. That's part of the reason why the Jhoto region is my favorite.
 
Cyndaquill is probably the strongest of the 3, but it's overused. Thats why I like Totodile/Croconaw/Feraligatr (Yes, thats how you spell Feraligatr)
 
It is indeed ironic that the only fully evolved pure fire type starter we have is Typhlosion (especially considering that we now have five fire type starters). I agree that making Tepig's evolutions into a dual type of fire/fighting was indeed ridiculous considering that the specific dual type had already been twice for the last two starters. No need to repeat the concept especially since the extra fighting type is not needed. I remember that quite a few people were disappointed to find out that Tepig had become another Blaziken/Infernape (though a much slower one).

I personally hope that we do receive a pure fire type in the next generation or at least one that does not keep the same dual type of fire/fighting. In terms of what that Pokemon may be based on, I remember that there was a theory proposed that the fire type starters were based off the 12 animals from the Chinese Zodiac. We currently have a dragon (Charizard), rat (Cyndaquil has been mentioned to being a mouse like rodent), rooster (Blaziken), monkey (Infernape), and pig (Emboar). If we go by this route that means the next fire type starter could possibly be one of these animals: Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Snake, Horse, Sheep/Ram, or Dog. Now of course, this is all speculation; however, it could be likely that the choices of the fire type starters originated from somewhere...
 
I really hope that the next starter is Fire/Flying. I've always wanted that type combo.

Why can't they do what they did with the Cyndaquil line, and make it start off as a dual-type: Fire and Awesome?

I agree as well

The words Charizard and Moltres come to mind.

Honestly, kids these days don't even know what Charizard is. It's sad.

FIRE SNAKE

FIRE SNAKE

FIRE SNAKE

MOTHER FUCKING FIRE SNAKE
 
And this is one of those times.

Hmmm, going along with what Propeller Toad said, that's an interesting theory.

Awesome theory. Could be a complete coincidence if it was anything else but Japan.

Maybe he was talking about the first phase having the ability to fly.
