Think about it. Its bound to happen. There's about 293 combos for types *pushes up glasses* (I think). There's 649 pokemon. Its impossible not to double over. Yes we got starters that are Fire/Fighting. Get the over it.

Move on. Lapras, Walrein, Dewgong, Cloyster are all Ice/Water. No one cares.
Fighting/Psychic: Meditite, Mienshao. Why did no one whinge about this?
Ghost/Dark: No one complained about Spiritomb (except for the fact that it sucks).
Poison/Grass: Roserade got no whining. Vileplume, Bulbasaur, then Roserade.
Flying/Ground: Gligar, then Landorus. That about this.
Or this; Flying/Normal: (I know this is a main compartment of the game tho...) Pidgey, Spearow, Braviary, Pidove, Swellow, Starly. Enough!

I've made 6 valid arguments and no one whinged about these typings. So why Fire/Fighting?

There isn't a valid reason to whinge (because there starters! Isn't a valid reason. Big deal makes no difference. No one is forcing you to use your starter.)

Probably just do what I usually do and use both versions to trade over all 3 starters to one game and just use them all.

Though I usually make my decision after I've seen their final forms.

Except I will do exactly the opposite of this. I won't know what any of them evolve into until I see it in the game. It's way more interesting that way I think.

Ah, had my suspicions. The lack of facial expressions on the net tend to make some emotions hard to interpret.

153. 17 nCr 17 equals 153. There are 153 different type combos possible.

Also Mienshao isn't part Psychic. I think he meant to compare Meditite and Medicham with Gallade.

Course like usual though, even the comic forgot about Chespin. The 3rd guy always gets forgotten and left alone forever and ever in the dark dank pokeball, never to be released again, forever lvl5, forgotten, ignored, alone, cold...... stick with the professer.......super cute......toads.......This one time at band camp.................... Poor Poor chespin, he'll end up looking almost the coolest of all 3 probably. Except Froakie, because Froakie will always look awesome.

@Samurott Na, post was fine before haha.

Gen 5 made me happy with that, I was so excited to see 2 rivals using all 3 Pokemon like in the manga (a bit). Then of course BW2 came around, poor third guy. I'd like them to go back to Yellow/Wally and have your rival using something other than the alternate starters. Yellow was my favorite with that idea based on those first two Gary fights and if you won or lost, that was a nifty idea in my mind.

I'm thinking I really am going to pick Chespin now, everyone talks about Fenniken and Froakie so much. Poor guy is gonna be awesome and everyone is just ignoring him.
