I think water, fire, grass, and electric starter choices would be a nice twist.
I enjoyed seeing Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Pikachu in their basic stage in the Kanto Anime. Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow feels more complete, albeit, not a rock-paper-scissors matchup.
Though, I don't know how my nostalgic side would recieve a game that didn't offer at least the grass, fire, water choices!
Another alternative would be a Water/Grass, Grass/Fire, Fire/Water trio. This could certainly have mixed receptions by longtime fans, but it could be pulled off.
Aside from starters, I would love to see a Coastal Mediterranean Region. Start in Spain, move down to Italy, then go along the perimeter through Greece, Israel (Palestine), Egypt, Add the Congo somewhere near Algeria/Libya (I'm sorry I need a jungle!), Morocco, Portugal, then surf out to Cyprus for the E4. I love the ancient history in this part of the world (branching from the Fertile Crescent/Mesopotamia, and converging continents. It would be refreshing to take a step back from the modernized regions based on Modern-day US and France.
Also, XY, though I LOVE it, was too...French. I would have preferred a mixture of cultural influences, like England, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, ect.
I was thinking more along the lines of getting rid of Grass, Water and Fire type starters completely. Like Another trio of types that work like Fire -> Grass -> Water -> Fire.
And an African based region would be awesome. An Australian based region would be equally as good.
And I was also thinking of another feature that could be interesting to have in Gen 7. Making the starters harder to evolve. Make the first evolution a level based one, and then the second evolution be a stone evolution, but have the stone needed to evolve it, late into the game. That way, people won't have freaking...Charizards before the 3rd gym (this was just an example, and I have once grinded up my starter so much I had it fully evolved before the third gym). It could make pokemon more interesting.
