Yeah, it is unusual. Though in Special Nate uses Dewott (at first I found it odd why Calem had Chespin in Special as the pattern has been Red (Grass), Gold (Fire), Ruby (Water), Diamond (Grass), and Black (Fire) until I remembered about Nate so he had water and then it moved back to Grass, and the next gen male or sequel male if XY get sequels will have the Fire starter most likely).
