Cubble is already claimed by Orange Islands, as the Amaya starter, but other than that, they are all really good!

How old is OI? Because I've been using Cubble since 2006.

Could change it to
Aquelp
(Aqua+Whelp)

or

Pubble
(Pup + Bubble)

about 4 years now...i'm not sure if it's a big deal or not....Also, Amaya still has yet to be officially released, but all the pokemon in this new region of this TRPG have been, since about last year.

It doesn't really matter all that much, especially if the concepts are different. OI's cubble is a lot different, so having the same name probably doesn't matter that much.

*facepalm* OI doesn't have full rights to the name or anything. It's a good, general name. I don't see the issue.

Like the grass and water lines (flightless birds are certainly different in that regard), but not so much a fan of the Fires (whenever I see 'fire salamander' I think Charmander *shrug*).

Name-wise, Vinemu, Igneft and Incinewt are weird to pronounce. Others are fine.

A major issue is the fact that the final water type (Water/Ice) can hit 4xSE + STAB on the final grass type (Grass/Flying), essentially nullifying the established type triangle. Granted, all water starters could learn ice moves anyway, but this much of an advantage is pretty ridiculous. I might also point out that ostriches are flightless birds and don't really fly, but since Game Freak disregarded that for Doduo/Dodrio...

Vye-Knee-Moo
Ihg-Neft
In-Sin-Newt

just incase they were a little unclear. I know the type-triangle disintegrates on the 2nd stage, however, it is very rare that people actually let their level 36+ starters fight against a bad-type match-up.

I may revise the triangle anywho.
I wanted it to be Fighting->Rock->Flying->Fighting etc.
