As long as it doesnt end up becoming a fire/fighting....I will be fine with whatever design it is *_*

I just added an edit to my post to clarify I don't actually have a problem with the actual visual design of the fire starter. In fact it's the best of the three IMO. I just don't see the point of so many retreads on the same theme. 

There's only so many animals out there. You can rule out any which are associated with water, as can anything in the jungle. And if Okami has taught me anything, it's that the Sun and Fire and closely linked to Dogs/Wolves/Foxes in Japanese tradition. So I guess it makes sense. 

But it'll be the other 150-odd Pokemon that will make or break this game, not the opening three.

Let alone the evolutions of the starters. There have been several times where the minor evolution does not resemble the highest evolved.
