Yes, this was the case for all starters until the release of X and Y, which gave them a move that was the same type as them.

Of course in Uranium, they gave the Water and Fire starters those moves, but didn't bother giving the Grass starter such a move for some reason. Which led to the issue in OFS' latest update.

It's also worth mentioning that starters never normally have abilities like Static or Flame Body: their abilites normally is Overgrow, Blaze or Torrent (depending on the type), which powers up Grass/Fire/Water moves if the starters HP i below half. I understand wanting to give starters better abilities from the start instead of having them locked away as hidden abilities, but then of course situations like what happened with grass cat is a potential issue.

I guess I'm the only one liking the 2edge Kurian ghost Lopunny :shobon:

I mean I love its design aesthetic, it keeps the creepy doll theme going strong throughout its evolutions, and its Pokédex bio is suitably creepy for a ghost.

I liked the design of Kurian Bunery honestly. Not that spooky ghost doll is unique in the PokéUniverse, but it looks neat. K-Lopunny's designs are also alright, but the description ruins it for me (a sadist that want to impress it's trainer because it loves it so much? :rolleyes:)

Honestly, a lot of these design choices feels like the creators had an idea (Let's make crystallized versions of mega Pokemon! That'd be cool!) and then kinda ran with it for too long (Crystal typing!). Most of the Pokemon designs feels like they could fit in an actual Pokemon game, but I think whatever Azurite is gonna end up as, any good design choices they make will probably be held back by bad gameplay/story design. But again, they probably aren't even close to releasing it, so hopefully it'll end up good.

Jerbolta's ability gives it +1 when it matters but it wastes it on a Hyper Fang.

Should the Minun one have flame wings and tail, so its crossed with Moltres instead of a red Articuno?

I was gonna say that it could be Articuno's shiny colors, but sadly that's just a lighter shade of blue.
