I've posted these before, but I'll share again.

>Blastoise: Water/Rock
So Steel didn't exist back in Gen I, but I think Rock would work just as well. It'd become even more lethal against Charizard, while also even more weak to Venusaur.
Give it both Rock Slide and Rock Throw in Gen I, then expand it over the Generations to include Rollout, Rock Blast, Power Gem, Rock Polish, Stealth Rock, etc.
Maybe swap out Rain Disk for something like Solid Rock too. Mega Blastoise can probably keep Mega Launcher, just make a new Rock-type move that's a Pulse.
I know all this make it a bit too close to Carracosta, but if Blastoise had this first, just change up Carracosta. Maybe repurpose the scrapped turtle design from the leaks.

>Sceptile: Grass/Electric
Hear me out. Electric would be thematically fitting to Sceptile's nimble design and high Speed stats. Make those yellow seeds on its back store yellow electricity.
Right off the bat, give it moves like Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt, and Thunder. Then in later Gens, moves like Volt Switch and Electro Ball.
It'd fit well with the Hoenn Legendaries, too. Groudon's Drought boosts Blaziken's Fire STAB, Kyogre's Drizzle boosts Swampert's Water STAB.
Then you'd have Sceptile able to fire off 1-turn Solar Beams in Drought and 100% accurate Thunders in Drizzle, making it more neutrally beneficial with the Legendaries.
Swap out Unburden for Lightning Rod or some other ability. For Mega Sceptile, give it Regenerator since it's whole gimmick is rapidly regenerating its tail.

When I made these posts, the context was if they debuted with secondary types, what could they have been.
Nowadays Steel definitely fits Blastoise more than Rock, but Rock still fits on its own and would be more accurate to Gen 1.

>ANOTHER Fire/Fighting starter

Fuck off. Cinderace should be Fire/Normal.

HEAR ME OUT
Sceptile should be FLYING, it used to be a gliding dinosaur in the beta versions and it could use those arm blades as glide wings

then each starter could be associated with a hoenn legendary weather
swampert - rain - kyogre
blaziken - fire - groudon
sceptile - winds - rayquaza

I've always thought they should have a signature move that changes type as they evolve.

Sceptile and its mega should just be mono grass. Not every starter needs to be dual typed. Just switch its offensive stats around.

monotype starters are fine though, if anything the only starter's type i'd change is emboar to mono fire
