Mega Arcanine would be amazing. <3 If it were to exist, this is what I'd want it to look:
In terms of stats, I would imagine it to have boosted Attack stat. Its fangs seem to be sharper, which would help it deal more damage when attacking with moves like Bite, Fire Fang, and Crunch. :]
That's really cool. An Arcanine with better Attack would be nice to help with Crunch and Extremespeed.
Name: IQ178
Fire-type partner Pokemon: Arcanine and Talonflame (Land and air coverage for traveling)
Reasons for liking fire types: I really love the design of many fire-types, I love the color red, I really enjoy the Chinese zodiac theme of the Fire starters.
If I would have a Fire-type team of at least three Pokemon, they would be: Charizard, Arcanine, and Infernape. Charizard would be a Mega Charizard (Y) invested in speed and special attack and it's moves would be Protect, Solar Beam, Flamethrower, and Air Slash(maybe). Arcanine would be defensively invested with the moves Toxic, Flamethrower, Morning Sun, and Extremespeed. Infernape would be an offensive sweeper with Close Combat, Flare Blitz, Rock Slide/Stone Edge, and Mach punch. I used this team in Battle Maison Super Singles and got to 40 my first time (I lost because I made a stupid mistake).
My favorite Fire starter: This is hard. It's between Emboar and Infernape. I really love both their designs, but I might have to give it to Infernape because of the Sun Wukong/Son Goku reference.
A Fire-type I'd like to see get a Mega Evolution: Definately Emboar. I really feel that Gamefreak cheated us out of having a really good bulky Fire-type. Instead of giving Emboar an unnecessarily high special attack stat (given it's much greater access to and utilization of physically offensive moves) I think that it should have had better defenses. Seriously, it's defenses are worse than Blazicken and Infernape! Surely 80 and 80 base defense and special defense with 70 base special attack would have been better than 65/65/100. Anyway, I think this should be corrected with a Mega Evolution. Give a significant boost to it's defenses and a slight boost to attack, and maybe give it an ability called
Hyperthermia which would decrease damage taken by water-type attacks but increase damage taken by fire-type attacks and allow the Pokemon to be afflicted by burns. Also, give it a sizable increase in weight to give the move Heat Crash more power. Maybe that's a little OP, but I like it.
Welcome! I like the team of three, sounds like a winning combo. Hmm, a bulky Fire-type eh? It'd be an interesting concept, but Fire-types typically aren't great for bulk, and I like the idea of Fire-types being attackers.
I would like to see an mega Volarona, think it look a bit like Mothra
Oooooh, now there's a cool concept. Lace that thing with some fire and that would be a great Pokémon, although a bit scary.
