As the other answers noted, using --type=ionic-angular is the Ionic 4 CLI way of saying "Ionic 3". Here's a reference to that: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli/issues/3862

If you run ionic start --list it will show the available templates and project types. For project type, angular would be Ionic 4, ionic-angular would be Ionic 3, and ionic1 is actually well named :-)

name     | project type  | description
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
blank    | angular       | A blank starter project
sidemenu | angular       | A starting project with a side menu with navigation in the content area
tabs     | angular       | A starting project with a simple tabbed interface
tabs     | ionic-angular | A starting project with a simple tabbed interface
blank    | ionic-angular | A blank starter project
sidemenu | ionic-angular | A starting project with a side menu with navigation in the content area
super    | ionic-angular | A starting project complete with pre-built pages, providers and best practices for Ionic development.
tutorial | ionic-angular | A tutorial based project that goes along with the Ionic documentation
aws      | ionic-angular | AWS Mobile Hub Starter
tabs     | ionic1        | A starting project for Ionic using a simple tabbed interface
blank    | ionic1        | A blank starter project for Ionic
sidemenu | ionic1        | A starting project for Ionic using a side menu with navigation in the content area
maps     | ionic1        | An Ionic starter project using Google Maps and a side menu

First create a new project using 

ionic start projectname blank --type=ionic-angular

then you should use:

ionic cordova prepare android

to add cordova to the project.
