>>58007356 (OP)>BW was screwed because it had the three Nuvema kids with the three starters but then had to accommodate one for White, so they just give White a Tepig like Black's>but B2W2 happens so Cheren and Bell having starters is quickly forgotten, only Black's Emboar matters, and White's Tepig leaves her for plot>instead White ends up with a Serperior, so Black has fire, White has grass, and no protagonist has water>except B2W2 does happen, so Blake gets water and finally all starters from Unova have a protagonist each, but there's still one last protag without starter, Whitley>now into XY, that shit was super screwed too because FIVE kids, but three are secondary while only X and Y are the protagonists so X gets grass, Y gets water and fire goes to Whitley back in Unova, magically solving this whole mess so each protagonist actually has one starterI'm not gonna lie, I'm always surprised by how Kusaka manages to tie stuff together so it fits, like how Kyogre and Groudon orbs break into the ruby and sapphire from FRLG, which are used to "reproduce Hoenn climate" for Deoxys forms, but their crystalic forms slowly grow into the prisms from ORAS, explaining the design change for the remake.
The guy either has some insider info or is EXTREMELY lucky and imaginative. Sometimes he does incredibly dumb stuff like the Maxie and Archie bodyswap via Distortion World but damn most of time I'm pleasantly surprised by how the guy fits the broken pieces he's given to
