Pokemon Gen 7: What Would You like to see With the Starters? (Secondary types/Stats/etc)

Example: Grass Starter is an Owl, Grass/Flying with good HP...

What would you like 2C?

I'd like to see...

...the option to skip the starters and start with any basic-stage Pokemon of my choice, within reason, instead, so I don't have to lug around an anchor I'll never use for the first two badges. I've been playing Pokemon for more than 15 years. I don't need a training wheel, water/grass/fire, tutorial Pokemon anymore. I already have a favorite. Let me start with Croagunk.

I may be the only one, but I would like to see another XY type generation, where there aren't too many new Pokemon added, but uses a lot of the previous gens all mixed together

As with the starters, I would like them to have different abilities when they're not in Mega Form... The secondary type doesn't really matter to me

I prefer my starters to just have the one type each. The whole point to me is that they're the first and the simplest. As far as the designs, I'd have to dig up some of my old middle school binders... But I would like to see more that aren't necessarily based on one specific animal.

You come up with scenarios that wont happen, why do you do this to yourself? Also tutorial pokemon? :0

That's all starters are. Training wheels for people who don't know what they're doing yet, just like the gyms and Elite 4 are just one giant tutorial on types. That's the only reason they exist.

If Pokemon XY can give you two starters, theres no reason that they start you with any normal Pokemon you want instead and just give you your starter after, or vise versa.

EDIT: Plus starters are tied with legendaries for the least unique Pokemon in the game they debut in. Why would anybody want to play with a group of pokemon that 99% of all players will have on their final in-game team? Beyond me.

..and yet there's one generation in which that happened.

I wouldn't mind the Gen 2 route, having starters with only one type, even when fully evolved.

I would like the secondary type of the grass starter to be strong against the secondary type of the fire starter...
The secondary type of the fire starter to be strong against that of the water starter...
And sly hat of the water starter to be strong against that of the grass starter...
That's what I was expecting with XY but I guess it wasn't meant to be...

I second this, except for the Croagunk part.

It would certainly bring a slightly new dynamic to the series.
