new starter triangle

[Ancient Chaos]

if you culd mak a new starter type triangle what would it be and why?

mine would be ;097; PSY, ;229; Dark, and fighting;107;

 

[Pokemon4Ever]

Wow, I like your idea, but I just like the triangle we already have.

 

[Dramatic Melody]

The starter triangle we have is already fine.

But if we were given the chance to make a new one, mine would be:

Rock --> Ground --> Ice

 

[Grass Guardian]

How about:

Posion-> Bug->Psychic

 

[Vycksta]

I too would love a Dark-Psychic-Fighting triangle. Always have done. x)

My friend would like a Ground-Electric-Water triangle. Another would like Steel-Ice-Ground. Geez, the possibilities are endless... even if Nintendo will stick with the Fire-Grass-Water.

Nice thread ^_^ Id like to see Pyschic-Dark-Fighting ^_^ If you didnt have to have their weakness then.. Id say, Psychic-Water-Flying. ^ ^;

It is possible to make loads of other triangles, but the only one that would be fair would be Flying, Rock, and Fighting.

All moves have to be either physical or special, and there cannot be an immunity to one of the other types (E.G Dark or Psychic) as it would make it have too much of an advantage, and it would be weird with one physical type and two special types. The types have to be weak against the type that is super effective against them, like Rock resists flying, Fighting resists rock, Flying resist fighting, etc, so Flying/Rock/Fighting would be the only one that would be fair.

Quoted for truth.

That's the one I'd choose anyway - although I'd much prefer it if it were to stay Grass/Fire/Water.

 

[Arbok of Doom]

Psychic Dark Fighting
Electric Ground Water
Poison Grass Ground

But the normal one is great already

 

[~Mightyena~]

Mine would be ice, rock and water.
Best chosen pokemon:Manyula, Bonsly and Biuzeru

Pst... that'd be Sneasel, Bonsly and Biuzeru. You wouldn't start with an evolved Pokemon. ;D

I would love my three favourite types to be in a triangle... Ghost, Dark and Psychic. Yet it would never happen as said triangle would be broken.

 

[≈*Virulent Tsunami*≈]

I have to wonder why people like the PsyDarkFight so much when it so obviously doesn't work =/

As Deathskully said, Flying, Rock, and Fighting is the best choice. I agree with the logic, but I also quite like those three types 8D

Psychic Dark and Fighting are my three faves. Sadly it obviously wouldn't work unless you gave the psychic type another type of attack.

 

[Regiman]

I think mine would be Rock, Flying, Fighting cuase it maches the super effective thing like Grass, Water, Fire.

Or we could stick with Grass/Fire/Water like every game in the past has.

I hate to be a party pooper, but it'd be rather foolish for them not to reuse the abilities of Overgrowth, Blaze, and Torrent.

Well I guess they'd give them to some other random Pokemon of those types instead. However, Grass/Fire/Water for the win still.

 

[Evanji Axu]

I've been toying with Electric/Water/Ground, but for a legendary trio.

For starters, Grass/Ice/Rock sounds good.

 

[Divine_Light]

What is wrong with the old starter pokemon triangle??

However, while the Grass/Fire/Water triangle does resist eachother, the starters do have a normal-type attack to beat your rival's choice in the beginning of the game. Seeing as Rock resists both Flying and Normal, the Flying/Rock/Fighting triangle wouldn't be as fair. The only way it could be fair is if all the starters began with Gust, Rock Throw, Karate Chop, or any other weak attack of their own element as opposed to Tackle or other early-game Normal attacks... though, if they did that, you'd find it extremely hard to take down your rival early on.

The Flying Pokemon could start with Astonish, but that would prove problematic for the wild Normal types... there's no winning really.
