Oh yeah, I forgot about Gen IV's limited fire selection. Then again, I really only played Platinum in that generation, so it didn't really affect me. Then again, it is Ponyta, and I love Ponyta, so. I actually rather like Gen IV, but I do agree the fire type shortage is an issue if you choose the adorable Piplup or Turtwig. I really liked Gen IV's starters, by the way.

I'm pretty sure Gen III had an 'all new Pokemon' deal like the first Gen V games had, so it was probably Gen III you were thinking of, Freya. Gen IV had new and old pokemon.
