On the subject of starter Pokémon, do you think Game Freak should stick to the Grass-Fire-Water trio, or should they try out other types? You mentioned in your ‘Starter Pokémon – Final Thoughts’ that the Grass-Fire-Water thing eases new players into Pokémon’s complicated type chart, but it also potentially creates confusion regarding type reciprocity. What do you think? Also, if Game Freak changed the starter types (but still a trio), should it still be fully reciprocal like Grass-Fire-Water is?

Starter Pokémon are actually going to be the subject of one of my ‘If I Were In Charge’ entries in the next couple of weeks (specifically, on the lyric “come with me, the time is right; there’s no better team") – so if you want to know exactly what I would do with starter Pokémon in excruciating detail, well, it’s coming up!
