Desired Typing Changes

[AJ302]

not usre if there is a thread(s) like this around so i thought i join the two ideas.

1) What types do you think pokemon should be?

2) What types do you think should or shouldnt damage another type that it doesnt already>


An example for (1), it has always bugged me(no pun intended) that venomoth, unlike all the other moths and butterfly pokemon, is bug/poison instead of bug/flying. it just seems weird. and scizor still has wings yet now is susceptible to the ever so common EQ.

An example for (2), back in g/s/c when they changed poison to neutral damage against bugs, what were they thinking? bugs only have three weakness, and poison is only super effective again grass types.
and in theory, i think steel types should be exempt(not effected) by electric attacks, and receive double damage from water. (steel rusts and conducts electricty, i think)

anyone else got similar ideas on either question 1 or 2

 

[Dark Arceus]

Maybe not very effective for electric-steel, but still do damage.

I also agree with the water-steel being super effective. Although Steel is supposed to be THE defensive type.

I've never liked the bulbasaur line being Grass/Poison.

Ghost should be able to damage normal... I mena in real life ghosts can kill normal people o.o

i think steel types should be exempt(not effected) by electric attacks, and receive double damage from water. (steel rusts and conducts electricty, i think)

I dunno, if the pokemon had internal organs but was made of steel I think electricity would do a good bit od damage to them. As for water, i think steel types' speed should be lowered or something after a couple of water moves

 

[Mansanas.]

I think that Golduck should become Water/Psychic... I dont see why not...
And also Ninetails should be Fire/Ghost or Fire/Dark...
And now Gyarados should turn Water/Dragon...

 

[mangaeyes]

Gyarados should be water+dragon, Ninetails fire/psychic, Psyduck line water/psychic

 

[Mansanas.]

^^^Why did you repeat what i mentioned?

Lucario should be Fighting/Psychic .. I dont think Lucario being Fighting/Steel makes much sense...
Maybe Luxio and Luxray should be Dark/Electric

 

[KetchupO]

Ghost should be able to damage normal... I mena in real life ghosts can kill normal people o.o

LMFSAO.
They can ? In REAL life?
No WAY!

 

[Lord of Music]

Mismagius should be Dark/Ghost.

I don't get why Jynx is Ice type, it should be dark or ghost. Why?

Coz it's scaryy....

 

[AJ302]

yeah i definitely agree wtih the golduck idea

and funny thing
when i first played diamond, and had little knowledge of the pokemon of this generation
i actually thought luxray was electric/dark and was only when i looked it up on serebii that i discovered it was only electric

There's a reason why it is Water/Flying. Something about the legend of a carp that "flies" through a gate in the waterfall, then the gods decided to turn it into a serpent......

A member here (Vycksta? I forgot the name....) knows the full sory of the legend iirc.

Jynx is ice because it was going to be Articuno.
Jynx, Electabuzz and Magmar were meant to be the legends of gen 1. They have much more detail than the other pokemon and on pokedex posters, they are directly above articuno, Zapdos and Moltres. Electabuzz+Zapdos both foujnd in the power plant, Moltres was supposed to be found in the burnt out mansion with magmar but they left it too late and added it in victory road, and Jynx was going to be in Seafoam Island with the other ice pokemon but was left too late again and was put in a trade.

 

[Kabutopzilla]

I always thought they would make Electivire Electric-Dark.

I don't see how Bug-types can beat Psychic and Dark-types down so easily.

Also: I coulda sworn Misdreavus was Ghost-Psychic in my first Gold game. WTF happened?

Psychic & Dark has something to do with minds, and people usually gets scared of bugs. Scared of bugs is some kind of "emotion" (umm, how to explain it.....), and this has a connection with your mind, so I can see why Bug can defeat Psychic & Dark-types.

About Misdreavus, I am really sure it was pure Ghost in Gold.......You might have thought it was Ghost/Psychic because it can learn Psychic moves.

 

[Narutopokedude]

It's weird how if you have carnivine out, and use crunch venomoth, it's uneffective.

Even though a venus fly trap would kill a moth...

 

[aerisLana]

I think Empoleon should be a Water/Ice type. You know, b'coz penguins live in a place where it's cold.

And Dunsparce... it should be a Poison type or Bug type right? It just doesn't seem right for Dunsparce to be a Normal type.

 

[Shine]

I think Empoleon should be a Water/Ice type. You know, b'coz penguins live in the North Pole.

And Dunsparce... it should be a Poison type or Bug type right? It just doesn't seem right for Dunsparce to be a Normal type.

iirc Piplup line is Tropical Penguins, hence why they are not Ice-type.
About Dunsparce.....yeah, it should be Bug/Ground like Nincada IMO.

And I like the Soul Linker in your signature

 

[blueorbified]

i think fire can be super effective against water because heat can vaporize water and fire pokemons should be more comfortable in steam

nd i thought penguins live in antrctica(general science)

 

[Bill Nye the Sneasel Guy]

penguins live in the North Pole.

...May I ask what world you live in?

 

[profpeanut]

I
And Dunsparce... it should be a Poison type or Bug type right? It just doesn't seem right for Dunsparce to be a Normal type.

The same can be said for Azurill. And Kangaskhan. And Purugly. And last time I checked, land snakes have nothing to do with Poison or Bug. (And don't say Ground, because it flies too.)

 

[PDL]

(And don't say Ground, because it flies too.)

Gligar and Flygon say hi.

But yeah, Dunsparce is fine as a Normal type.

Actually most Pokémon are fine as the types they currently are. The game designers almost never change the types of Pokémon, the only example I can think of is Magnamite, but only because they didn't have steel as a type in RBY.
