I don't have a problem with starters not being available in the wild, it's understandable why they are made that way. It would be great if things like the Friend Safari returned though or if the ones you didn't choose were locked behind BP or something.

I would like for the evolution levels to raise, since it feels you spend too little with the earlier stages. Sometimes your starter has already evolved before obtaining a cool feature like Hoenn's contests. I would change them to 20 and 40 respectively. Also, your rival having the starter with the type advantage should come back.
