Ghosts

Wouldn't it make more sense for Ghosts to be given the Dark type? You see, Ghosts and Psychics are weak to Ghost/Dark, which would categorize both, and Ghosts, being weak to both, would fit well in the category. Ghosts could then just get a Dark weakness leaving them weak to other Ghosts and Darks, and Darks could get a Psychic resistance which wouldn't include the Ghost types of the regular games.

The system may have worked well when Gastly/Haunter/Gengar were the main ghosts, but still: offensively, basicly, Ghost and Dark are the same types.

As well, as they have weaknesses/resistances offset by the other, they'd do great having the same energies.
 
Just because some Ghosts looks evil, (like my Gengar here,)
it does NOT make them Dark. That is simply my two cents on this matter.

*A very quiet evil laugh, then Disappears*
 
It's not the looks I'm talking about, it is the offensive typing. Everything weak to Ghost is practically weak to Dark. Pyschic and Ghosts both being weak to Dark and Ghost by both being weak to Darks would make the system more accurate.
 
Yes, I'd agree. I just don't see why they didn't make ALL the types. I know it would be a lot of hard work, but it would be a lot better. Ooh, I'd love my Glaceon card to be ICE, instead of WATER. Also, little kids learning about pokemon would get their types mixed up - Their Platinum game says Glaceon is an Ice Type and their Glaceon card is a water type! XD
 
I think maybe it'll change considering the poison changing but then would that just leave psychic being purple and nothing else? i know dark is dark and steel is steel but remember they are added types to the original lot.

mind you fire is also on it's own...

does dragon have a colour yet?

i guess i'm set in my old ways and feel it should stay purple considering the first ghosts are purple. (cards i mean not just the general colour of the pokemon even if they are also purple =P)

yes they should make all the colours but then the weakness and resistance will be more confusing won't it?
 
Fighting resists Dark but not Ghost, and Normal is immune to Ghost but not dark.

Some colorless cards have resistance to Psychic, right? It could mess up a little if it changed to Dark.

And Dragons still are colorless.
