Did you know about the interview in which the GameFreak higher-ups talk about how they have ideas like making the starter selection 5 Pokémon instead of 3, with types like Bug, Poison or Steel in there, but they always end up sticking to the formula because, in the end, it’s what works best for new players?

I did not; do you have a link or a source or something I could look at?

It is certainly a legitimate point; I discuss this issue (among others) in this entry.
