Would they ever make a non-animal starter?
>Lotad has some animal feature but there's no real non-animal water type, actually.
Since they're the mascots of their region, they need to have merchandise appeal and ideally when a kid playing the game would want to pick at least one of them

I mean, if you're gonna say that Lotad isn't an animal...
What about corsola?
Starters will always be tetrapods.
>>25846056
I was gonna put either Binacle or Staryu since they're invertebrates like coral is, but then I figured someone was gonna all marine biologist on me

Chikorita and its line are based on the Brontosaurus.

chikorita is a dinosaur
>>25846042
Lotad is a waterbear
If any starter was going to be an object< i'd want it to be the fire one just to see the zodiacfags heads explode

They would say it represent the Zodiac wheel itself. Even if it was a fucking triangle with legs.

>>25846042
Nope. Starters are designed to be one of the most marketable Pokemon of the generation and the average person tends to prefer animal pokemon a lot more than objects or plants.
Also

Coral are actually animal colonies, belonging to the same family as jellyfish.
There's Rotom-W. I think there's a shortage of inanimate object Water-types just because there's so many aquatic animals to choose from.
>>25846116
>Brontosaurus
they never existed anon...
>>25846116
Ah yes the elusive quadrupedal Potatoadon brandishing it's popuar leaf camouflage.
That shit ain't no dinosaur, Bayleef and Meganium yeah but Chikorita is just a generic monster like Nidoran.
>what is corsola
>>25849406
Coral is an animal.
