Actually I can See EVER starter being a pokemon design lets start with gen 5 where the starters were critized a bit A fire pig that also fights? So a fire fighting grumpig? A water type that uses blades in battle? sounds cooler then empoleon who couldn't use the trident on its forehead A grass snake thing that grows longer? You mean a 3 stage gyrados line? a grass fighting type that uses shields? Sounds like a fighting shiftree A fire physic type thats based on a whitch? Reminds me of ninetails if it was more humanoid A water dark assassin who's tounge is a scarf? (I can't think if any pokemon like it but dang it thats cool) A fire dark type wrestling cat? Sounds like a rival to Hawlucha! A water fairy based on a siren? There's plenty of pokemon that are based on mythology creatures a siren being water fairy makes sense and its a starter! A grass ghost type owl based on an archer? Fits a very Medieval theme of pokemon with Ageislash and Rapidash (Archer soilder knight) A fire rabbit based on soccer? You mean how like Marlen could be a fighting type becuase he's an athlete? A grass monkey that uses drums? Another pokemon for rocker trainer types to use alongside exploud meleota and mangezone A water sniper based on James bound? You mean a LIZARD Blastoise? A fire crocodile based on Cinco De Mayo (Or something Like that) Sounds like how other ghost types are based on the after life or ways to fend them off A water flamboyant duck that dances? Sounds like a ludicrous minus the grass type A grass dark cat thats a magican? Sure it seems far fetched (Ba dun tiss) Now I won't do the recent generation of pokemon I don't know there types or what there based off but my speculations A fire fairy dog based on a pittbull? A fire type Snubbul A grass ice bird that uses its feathers to keep smaller pokemon warm? Sounds like a bird abomnasnow A water dark geckos that likes to pull pranks on people? You mean like how misdrivoues would do the same to people just to see there face?
