Boatborn : An stone elephant-like creature with flaming eyes.
Evolutions: Boatblasted -> Boatmurdered
Carp: A mutant fish that has been twisted by pollution.
Evolutions: Recarp (zombie carp, oh god) -> Necrowhale (zombie whale) (This tree comes from being exposed to a necrostone)
Megacarp -> Forgotten Beast
And the last one is obviously a Unicorn of dark/steel type. Which fits, I think. 
I've been mulling your typing... as the cycle stands, it's supposed to be Boatmurdered > Unicron > Megacarp > Boatmurdered, aye?
Fire/Rock would have the type effectiveness of
Magcargo- Note that this is damaged normally by Dark and Steel, and while it resists Poison it is REALLY weak to Water.
Water/Poison would have the type effectiveness of
Tentacool- Megacarp would resist Steel and Fire (take normal damage from Rock and Dark, though, so it'd be a wash).
Dark/Steel would have the type effectiveness of
Pawniard- Weak to fire (but resistant to Rock) as expected, Unaffected by Poison and damaged normally by Water.
The upshot is that none of the starters resist
all of the others' elemental moves, and Water/Poison wouldn't have a weakness. May I propose the following changes?
Boatmurdered family- Fire/Ghost. Has the appearance of a ghostly elephant wreathed in flames. Would have the type effectiveness of
Litwick, making it weak to Dark, but resist Steel and unaffected by Fighting
Megacarp family- Dragon/Dark. An zombie Carp that grows into an enormous Skeletal Carp. Would have the type effectiveness of
Deino, making it weak to Fighting, resistant to Ghost and Fire, and damaged normally Steel.
Unicron family- Fighting/Steel. A Unicorn with steel hooves and horn, known for its aggressiveness. Would have the type effectiveness of
Cobalion, making it weak to Fire, resistant to Ghost, Dragon, and REALLY resistant to Dark
Analysis:
Boatmurdered vs Unicron- Boatmurdered resists Steel and is unaffected by Fighting. Unicron is weak to the Fire but resistant to the Ghost, which helps balance the fact Boatmurdered doesn't care at ALL about half his moves. Still well in favor of Boatmurdered, but not disastrously so.
Boatmurdered vs Megacarp- Boatmurdered is weak to Dark and damaged normally by Dragon. Megacarp is resistant to both Fire and Ghost. Advantage- Megacarp
Unicron vs Megacarp- Unicron is resistant to Dragon and extra resistant to Dark. Megacarp is weak to Fighting and damaged normally by Steel. Advantage- Unicron.
Boatmurdered > Unicron > Megacarp > Boatmurdered.
FAKEEDIT: WARNING: FOUR NEW REPLIES
I like the idea of having the various towns be notable community fortresses. Not all of them should be, if for no other reason than we can't have them ALL be towns of darkness and fire, but the ones we can make interesting should be in.
I propose, however, that the starting town be the Wiki.
