I ment to say this before but I personally feel Flapple and Appletun should have separate evolutions from one another and a different grass type be the grass starter given that, since having Appletun as the final evolution of Applin kind of goes aganst the standard fare of the grass/water/fire dynamic since always theres been tank, powerhouse sweeper, and support as the dynamic for the starters. Now technically the starter choices as they are DO fit that role (especially Krabby since it fits the sweeper role and Numel does very good as a tank with Dull) when Applin first evolves into Flapple its a glass canon rather than first step on the third archetype I pointed out, not to mention Flapple as a pokemon is ment to be a opposite to Appletun. Besides, Flapple's design shifting to Appletun on evolution makes no sense as it somehow gains mass after its previous apple body was consumed to allow it wings?
Figured Id voice my opinion, im having a good time either way.
