    One thing that I'm sure many people are looking forward to in the upcoming games are the new starters! Let's look at a rundown of previous generations. Also, I'm going to assume that this is Generation 7, as it seemed pretty obvious that's what the trailer was saying.

    Gen 1:
    Fire/Flying
    Water
    Grass/Poison

    Gen 2:
    Fire
    Water
    Grass

    Gen 3:
    Fire/Fighting
    Water/Ground
    Grass

    Gen 4:
    Fire/Fighting
    Water/Steel
    Grass/Ground

    Gen 5:
    Fire/Fighting
    Water
    Grass

    Gen 6:
    Fire/Psychic
    Water/Dark
    Grass/Fighting

    Gen 7:
    Fire/?
    Water/?
    Grass/?

    So, we have had a fighting type starter for every Generation since Gen. 3, and a dual type fire starter as well. Generations 4 and 6 are the only ones with three dual-type Pokémon thus far. Generation 6 also made it neat by giving the starters another type advantage circle with Fighting-Dark-Psychic. Now that we have some clues, make your predictions. I'm gonna predict a Grass/Electric, Water/Fighting, and Fire/Fairy as of this point, for absolutely no reason at all other than the fact that those are types that I want to see.

    My guess, for completely arbitrary reasons is Grass/Flying, Water/electric, and Fire/Rock, so that each Pokémon will have a type that is super effective against themselves. It'd be funny. Hmm. I might come up with some fakemon starters for this...

    I'm hoping for a fire/fairy as well, honestly. It seems like a neat typing, and it might actually make me choose the fire type starter for once haha! Aside from that, it could be water/dragon and grass/steel to have a resistances/immunities triangle in effect.

    If not fire/fairy, I'd like something like fire/electric or fire/ice that we haven't gotten a real typing for yet (I don't count rotom-h).

    Or, even more interesting, what if we got fire/water, water/grass, grass/fire? :O I'd love to see that, personally.

    It's literally just guessing at this point. If you look at the types that haven't been a secondary type for the Starters though, Fairy, Dragon, Electric, Ghost, etc. would all make sense. I'd be down for any new type combinations tbh. Of course, we all know GF will make the Gen 7 Starter a Fire/Fighting type, let's be real here. Would've also been nice if they at least showed us SOMETHING in the trailer, like omg.

    If they make the fire starter another Fire/Fighting then I'm quitting Pokémon.

    I'd like to see a Water/Dragon starter, or a Water/Ice. I'm hoping one of those combinations could make me like the Water starter enough to pick them.

    Fire/Ground or Fire/Dark would be pretty cool, I'd be up for that. Ground has been mixed with both Water and Grass so far, I kind of wanna see another.

    Grass/Flying, yes. Yes, it has to happen. Yes.

    I'd like to see some Poison mixed in there. The only Poison we've had was Venusuar, who, although his typing is deserved, came from a time when almost every Grass was dual-type, and most of them were Grass-Poison. It kind of feels like it was a default setting at the time, and I'd like to see poison in a more unique capacity. How about with fire? Would that Pokémon end up being an offensive Poison powerhouse or one of the first capable Fire defenders?

    Like that Article I put up a few months back, I am predicting that this Fire type will be another animal from the Chinese zodiac: ox/bull, sheep/goat, tiger, snake, or a horse. Also possible: a dog or rabbit, whichever one Delphox isn't. I do realize that's a very wide prediction, but compare those 6-7 animals to the entire variety of animals (and other Pokémon ideas) on planet earth and it seems like a less safe bet, but I'm sticking with it.

    We'd have to analyze the trailer to have a good guess but there are actually no hints of the new starters, when it showed the person making the three dimensional design, we had no idea but a second later, it had the colour of a Flecthling/Flecthinder on it.
    I would personally like to see a Water Pixie Pokémon, something to do with The Lady of the Lake so Water and Fairy is a definite hope.
    A fan favourite in my opinion is Fire and Electric, hopefully something like a Spark Pokémon.
    Then there's Grass and Steel, i don't know why but it seems like a good combination, if not that then I'd love a Grass and Flying starter.

    I think it be:
    Grass/Flying Bird of some sort
    Fire/Electric or Fire/Fairy Female Appealing Animal Pokémon (Cat, Mage, Hammster, Ect.)
    Water/Fighting Otter/Seal or Water/Fairy (Lunar if Type) Dolphin
