BEFORE anyone starts to flame the hell out of me, I just want to make a discussion thread for starter rumors.

Apparently people are very willingly to believe that D/P will completely smash the mold and break out some new starter types. Some people are so desperate they made fake news on trusted sites:Fake New Starter Info.

I for one believe there will always be the traditional Fire/Grass/Water. Discuss any new possibility there could possibly be for new starters if we EVER get a new combinatiion.

Mods please don't close this, I know you hate me.

Discuss.
Notice: Apparently the new starter triangle has been confirmed. Fighing/Dark/Psychic

So hopefully they don't break the chain since it's a tradition on the games, it totally rips out a major/minor part of the game and fills it in with something new which shouldn't be at all.

I can't believe PPN actually posted this on his site. But he said he got it from Pokeani which is a VERY RELIABLE site. I went to Pokeani but couldn't find anything... Maybe it's in their forums?

PPN also posted they will change the weaknesses of some of the types...

If that is true, all welcome the Light types!

Yes I know it'll ruin a major tradition, but this is all speculation anyways.

And the "Everyone Hates You" comment was, low and uneccassary.

I should've put it in italics for sarcasm, as I was joking, be cool.

You shouldn't really believe it, we all know that they won't break the chain, and if it does then they can change anything in the games.

I think it would be a nice change to see some different types or dual-types for starters. Nothing wrong with tradition, but getting in a type rut isn't that great either. Personaly, I'd like to see a ghost starter.

New types/starter types: it's not gonna happen, get over it.

Actually, sorry, but...

Bulbanews found out something VERY interesting regarding the starter types. You know that Pokemon Garden "game" that's on the official site? Well, in the Gamefreak room (3rd floor), there's a female character that suggests the starter types will be, brace yourselves...

FIGHTING
DARK
PSYCHIC

This IS an official source, mind you. Personally, I was so excited by the news that I jumped out of my chair and yelled "WOOHOO!!"

Think about it...

Fighting is good against Dark, but poor against Psychic
Dark is good against Psychic, but poor against Fighting
Psychic is good against Fighting, but poor against Dark

Discuss!

^Psychic is totally uneffective against Dark so it wouldn't work... let's just stick with the traditional Fire>Grass>Water...

OMGosh! So this is true?? I was actually on Pokegardens last night and spoke to everyone in the game freak room. Too bad I couldn't understand Japanese. Does Pokegarden update the game everyday? Great promotional tool I must say!

Wow. There was another thread on this and the mods closed it. Poor guy...

They will change up the type chart, cool. It seems logical that Hyper Beam would be special and Thunderpunch would be physical. There goes my elemental punching Alakazam...here comes my BoltBeaming Alakazam!

This could not work. Think about it, all of the starters have had a good against the other/bad against the other relationship. Psychic doesn't affect dark type pokemon. Unless what they said about changing the type weaknessess applies to dark and psychic...

WHAT.

This sounds like bullocks, but I so very much want to believe this to be true just to shut up every last person on these boards who uphold superflous tradition as some sort of religion. These games aren't math, people, they can be unpredictable.

One of the mods/admins on the Bulbagarden forums confirmed that the GameFreak people in the Pokemon Garden thing really do say that.

This is crazy :O

The GameFreak sprites in Pokemon Garden could just be talking out their *** too, to hype up the game more. We can't disregard that possibility either.

Psychic isn't poor against dark, it's USELESS!
They would have to do changes in the type chart to this work. But I can see this types (dark/psychic/fighting) as the second type of the starters, not the main.

That's what Pokemon Garden mentioned. Instead of Psychic having no effect on dark, it will be not very effective. It seems more sensible, IMO.

It wont work and I do not want the starters to change please let them be joking or something. Even if they change the types around they shouldn't change the starter to that. Steel,ice,and Ground would be better

They're changing the type chart, so it will work if what they said is true.
