I think a Grass/Fire-type or another Grass/Water Pokémon would be really interesting! Not sure what kind of species it would be, but I always liked the Lotad-line for its unique typing alone. Heck, I think the "Lonefire Blossom" Yu-Gi-Oh card might set a good example for a potential Grass/Fire Pokémon! :D

I don't think there's a specific type combination I want to see, but I agree ghost/normal to be interesting as combination, but I have no idea what I should imagine as ghost/normal Pokémon.

Grass/fire should be a pepper.

I imagine that a Ghost/Normal type would be something like a stylized classic sheet ghost. Like the Halloween costume where all you do is wear a white sheet over your head with holes cut out for your eyes.

I think this would make a really fun Pokémon design:

Apparently Bug-type would neutralize Normal's Fighting weakness so you're right on that one. Sadly it'll still have all three of Bug's usual weaknesses intact, so not as beneficial as you think.

As fighting resists bug too, you don't really wanted to use bug moves anyway and STAB normal type moves can be beneficial, along with a ghost type resistance. Yet bug isn't effective on ghosts too, so that's not that helpful either.
Something I want to see is an electric/fighting Pokémon. There exist many fire/fighting ones, but no electric/fighting.

Because with the spam of three starters with the typing across three consecutive generations, people got sick of it and say it's not original anymore.

I don't have a problem with the starters having only one type, like in the second gen. However, I think it's either all of them or none of them that should gain a second type, not like Gens I/III/V.

So someone wants the starters to have equality... I don't mind if one ends up gaining a second type while the other doesn't, or so.

I pretty much base most of my teams based on design, starter included. I also generally try to make them balanced type-wise for normal play-throughs. I don't really care whether staters get or don't get a secondary type; they can add a bit of interestingness to the Pokemon but being a single type isn't really any worse. I do agree that three Fire/Fighting starters was a bit much though.

I always feel like the starter is part of the essential in-game team because it is your partner, after all.

Yeah, because starter Pokémon are relatively strong compared to the available Pokémon on the first few routes and they start at a decent level, which means they're pretty strong and often remain one of the highest levelled Pokémon in my team. I don't think I've ever played without my starter outside of challenges.

I always use my starter pokemon because I'm too lazy to replace them, and I'm not going to invest time into getting them to the final stage only to switch out for something "statistically better".

If I do a challenge, then I try to use a tool for changing the starters to something I need. (Emulators) In normal playthroughs I ALWAYS use my starter, like you guys said it's not the same without a member you trained for so long.
