Out of the many Pokémon games in the series, all have used the same type triangle for their starter partners. Although the starters are still beloved fan-favorite Pokémon, using the same primary types for the series' entire 25-year life has left them feeling stale, so they could benefit from more variety. There are other type combinations available, so hopefully different kinds of starters come to future Pokémon games.
In Pokémon, each creature — and the moves they use — has a primary type, and many species have secondary ones. These types determine how effective moves are against other Pokémon, with each type having others that they're strong and weak against. There are many single-type Pokémon that appear to have secondary types, and are able to use many moves with types outside of theirs, but don't share the strengths or weaknesses. Some types form a Rock-Paper-Scissors triangle, where one is strong against a second, which in turn is strong against a third, and the third is strong against the first. Water, Fire, and Grass is one such triangle, and is traditional for the starter Pokémon players choose from at the start of each game.

There are many deserving Pokémon that could be great starters but aren't one of the typical types. Even if Grass, Water, and Fire were kept as secondary types, if the primary ones changed, it could still make the starters feel new and refreshing.
