I have played through reborn quite a number of times, and have used most of the starters. Something I have noticed about the starters in reborn is that the fire type starters fare much much better than the other types. This isn't just because of blaziken though, its just a general observation. Take from that what you will. Blaziken is broken, Delphox has probably the best typing combination for reborn, Incineroar is great for double battles and Infernape is consistently great. Most people acknowledge how strong those four are, but I actually find Typhlosion to be super underrated and competitive with them. It has access to nature power as well as eruption on a good speed tier. It is actually my preferred fire starter just because of nature power access, although I acknowledge that it isn't the best. Charizard dominates the earlygame, I don't have much more to say about it really. Emboar is outshined by the rest, but its not like it is useless either. The other types have some pokemon that stand out, but they aren't as consistently useful. Grass is probably the worst in that regard. Sceptile is great for reasons mentioned in above posts, it really just has so much going for it. I used decidueye in a mono-ghost run and it was the mvp. The unique typing and good level up movepool are huge boons. Additionally, Rowlet/Dartrix are the best baby stage starters. Torterra has an amazing movepool, and its bulk is very solid. I overall found Torterra to be slightly worse than decidueye and sceptile because it doesn't outspeed anything relevant (not that it really needs to, but meh). Outside of those three the grass starters are very lacking. Serperior and Meganium lack any kind of offensive presence in the earlygame. Serperior in particular can border on dead weight until it gets leaf storm. I haven't used chesnaught admittedly, but I can't imagine it would be great. I was tempted to move venesaur up, but its a bit niche. If you run a sun team however you can consider venesaur the best grass starter. Water is still worse overall than fire, but it is much better off than grass. Swampert and Empoleon are both very useful bulky mons that don't need much support from their team. Empoleon has TM dependence, but it honestly walls so much stuff that its easy to overlook that. Greninja is a popular high-tier choice for players but I actually find it to be a bit overrated. Its best move for a long time is water pledge, it can't really abuse protean for a large portion of the game, and it has no good way to boost. That said, its base stats are good enough to keep it usable and once it gets going in the lategame its by far the most powerful water starter. Feraligatr and Primarina are both nice, I don't have any real complaints about them other than wishing they were a bit faster. Blastoise and Samurott both range from underwhelming to painfully average, but they aren't actively bad or anything.

A time the world is still garnished by deadly flora = Pulse Tangrowth Beaded Tooth Necklace = Fern Spiked Bracelets = Arclight Azure Hair = Blake, Cal, or Amaria. Sleeping Star = Ana Tactiturn woman = Either a new character or Shade. I lean towards shade (possibly the same character in the E18 Dream Sequence?) Together they defeat Pulse Tangrowth, Muk, Swallot, and Camerupt, then the city streets crack, and Arclight 'splinters' below. Shining armor strikes, Azure hair is re-dyed red. Shining armor is odd, I dunno what to think of it. Titania comes to mind. The player character is the only character who is really referenced to as "shining", whereas Lin and Taka are the only characters shown to wear armor. If Azure hair = Amaria, "shining armor" referencing titania is a stronger idea. If Azure hair = Cal, then the phrase "re-dyed" makes the most sense. I don't think other candidates for azure hair could "re-dye" their hair red if it was never red to begin with. If Azure hair = Blake, idk Its an ominous vibe, things that get dyed red are usually done so with blood in fiction, so this implies a death. An enemy of his own blood stands before him, and beaded hope breaks apart upon the tattered stones of a city forced to live up to its name once again. "Enemy of his own blood" could reference Cal/Blake or Fern/Florinia. Other notable pairs including one male involving bloodlines are Cain/Aya, Radomus/Ana, Noel/Ana, Corey/Heather, Bennett/Serra, Taka/Solaris, El/Luna, and Hardy/Titania. I doubt any of those are it, but I figured I would list them anyways (although I probably forgot some). 'Beaded', probably being fern, is the subject of the sentence following the comma so I think Florinia/Fern are the likely combo. After that, I guess something happens to Fern and the city is Reborn? I assume this isn't a good rebirth, considering- The sleeping star invokes a wish. From there, the suited girl disappears. If things were good, why make a wish? And that future follows shortly after... Hmm. The fortune teller says "that" instead of elaborating. What is "that" future? You could argue multiple "thats" General foreshadowing in the game points towards universe resets, time loops, arceus egg shenanigans, etc. This prophecy could be interpreted in a lot of ways until E19 comes out to give the definitive answer.
