Starter Types

[azkhiri]

Has anybody else noticed this but the Johto starters are the only ones that stay pure through their evolutions and the Sinnoh starters are the only ones that dont have a pure starter line

 

[ghostofgroudon]

What do you mean by staying pure in evolution?

 

[chosen_one386]

^ Stay the same and only one type throughout evolution. Ex: Chikorita and all of its evos are grass, Cyndiquil and its evos are fire, and totodile and its evos are water.

And I have noticed that.... isn't it odd?

 

[Requiem's Eclipse]

Very odd.... It seems the makers don't like pure types and are making more dual type starters.

 

[Dilonio]

I didn't know every Sinnoh starter was dual-type. Interesting.

I like starters where the Basic and Stage 1 Pokemon are single-type and the final starter is dual type. Like the Charmander line, where Charizard is Fire/Dragon. For some reason I always thought that Feraligatr was Water/Dark... maybe because it learns bite?

 

[Robert1559]

wierd but the johto has a lot of cool pokemon too and it came out with the new types so it really doesnt need dual types

Charizard is not Fire/Dragon... It's Fire/Flying.... Have you checked any of the Starters' actual type? I think you're judging more on appearance than fact.

I've noticed it too.

Ah. Whoops. Yes, I do know the types, I just made an error. Again, whoops. ^^ The reason that Feraligatr seems like a Water/Dark type is because of it's movepool. Also, the first time I saw a Feraligatr I was seven.

i'm glad that the Johto starters are pure types....makes them unique and special

 

[-Dragon-]

Doesn't Treecko stay pure when it eventually evolves into Sceptile?

 

[Venastois]

yeah, but does mudkip or torchic?

no.

the johto starters are the only ones that stay monotype through out all stages, each one.

 

[Freya]

Torchic becomes fighting and mudkip starts out as water/ground a beileve if it doesnt it evolves into it have chosen mudkip in a while

 

[Polursine]

Wow...And?

Hikozaru and Tochic has something in common!: Their second evolution gets a Fire/Fighting typing! :O

Having a pure typed Pokemon isn't all that good, as it then limits to what attacks get STAB and a hell of a lot that don't! Dual typed Pokemon get an extra chance, but can have some different changes in the Strength/Weakness chart.

 

[miiche~]

Well, the johto starters were my favourite anyway so thats all good. I like the fact that they're pure.

although it does make Blastoise a little unique. Both its other starters have another type. Mind you, water doesnt necesarily need another type so thats all good~

 

[~Ero Oyagi~]

I think it makes the Johto starters more unique. It's pretty damned hard to obtain them anyway in the 3rd/4th gen and it's good to have something different from the other starters you can get in the games.
