I don't really agree with Ralts as a starter choice. First off, it's part Fairy type. Fairy resists Dark, and Dark is weak to Fairy. This means that Ralts would have an advantage over both Machop and Sandile, while Sandile would have a type advantage over nothing. Secondly, Kirlia has two evolutions, namely Gardevoir and Gallade. Machoke and Krokorok can only evolve in Machamp and Krookodile respectively.
That's why I'd like to suggest that you bring back Solosis as the Psychic starter. If this conflicts with Sandile, you should make Larvitar the Dark starter, re-type Larvitar and Pupitar into Rock/Dark types, alter their stats and movepools to fit in with the other starters, and give Tyranitar something like Intimidate or Battle Armor instead of Sand Stream.
Good point, I completely forgot that Fairy resisted Dark. Hm, and the Gallade evolution never really bothered me but it doesn't make sense for only Ralts to have multiple evolutions. I'll see what I can do about it. I'll probably replace Ralts with either Solosis or Gothita. The Larvitar idea is a good one so I'll take that into account.
Though even though I have a triangle, your rival won't be using any of them, so in terms of gameplay it shouldn't affect your advantage at all. So I might still keep Ralts, but the evolution thing mentioned earlier does bother me.
