So...there are 153 different type combinations...

[stigy]

...not including doubles like Rock/Ground or Ground/Rock, because it's the same thing. Out of these 153, only 61 have been done. That means only about 40% of the total possobilities have been done! :O At this rate, it'll take us EIGHT generations to cover all the different type combinations! It's a conspiracy I tell ya! A CONSPIRACY!

 

[Polursine]

You figured that out? LoL! Hot much free time do you have?

Type combos really come down to what they would go with. You have to find something to "Pokemon-ize"

 

[Dramatic Melody]

There's also the possibility to have additional types. Meaning more type-combinations.

Meaning more generations ?!

 

[stigy]

^It's already confirmed that there will be no new types...this generation... @_>

 

[Dramatic Melody]

^
but there will be more generations (i hope?) after the 4th generation...and there isn't any proof that there wouldn't be any types coming out anymore...

even though...it will still take time

 

[stigy]

^True true...but I really hope that if they DO add a new type, that it is not stupid, is implimented correctly, and fixes up the type chart.

 

[Dramatic Melody]

I know there was a type suggesting thread in this section. I dunno if it still lives.

Some type combo's can probably never happen. Like Fire/Grass or Fire/Water or Ground/Electric(ok this last one maybe, but the others, I don't think so). But what would be interesting would be Fire/Psychic.

No, fire/water is perfectly possible. I invented a fire/water type, so I'm sure there could be a better one in the games.
I would like to see a ghost/electric type. Don't know why, it just seems interesting.

 

[ESP]

I've always wanted a fire/psychic pokemon.

But to make a new type combination they have to find an animal/thing to base it on. They can't just draw a blob and say it's a Fire/Grass type.

I'm sure they could find something to base any type combination on. They could do a Pokemon who causes brushfires for Grass/Fire, and I've already made a Fire/Water Fakemon. I don't think any new types are needed, but the type chart needs to be fixed up.

 

[Aptenodytes]

I don't really mind how many type combos there are, as long as they create usuable ones for Pokemon that look cool .

 

[Metal Force]

Well I don't think that they're gonna bother themselves making ALL type combos, also some type combos are never ment & won't appear anyways.

 

[Eerie Fuwante]

There could be a Fire/Grass pokemon!One based on a BellPepper!XD

 

[Dunsparce]

If there's a new type, It would mess up ALL of the Hidden Power values. So there should NEVER be an additional type unless it is not compatable with the older games.

Remember that Hidden Power didn't exist in RGBY, anyways :/ THat's why they could get away with new types. They could have done it with R/S, because they weren't backwards compatable, but they didn't because THERE IS NO NEED FOR NEW TYPES. EVER!

 

[malcolm_n]

on the topic of not including ground/rock versus rock/ground... I thought that the reasoning behind this was the pokemon would have different characteristics (ie different good/bad stats) Is that wrong?

 

[jellsprout]

Some type combo's can probably never happen. Like Fire/Grassor Fire/Water or Ground/Electric(ok this last one maybe, but the others, I don't think so). But what would be interesting would be Fire/Psychic.

Fire/Grass could be a sunflower or a burning plant or something like that.
Fire/Water could be boiling water.
Ground/Electric could be an electrical desert fox or any other sand animal.

Gligar (Ground/Flying) and Twinrova from Zelda (a Fire/Ice witch) proof that anything is possible.

As you can see, there are MANY combinations left for the world to use.
EDIT: Thanks Dimitar. I may have forgotten some.

 

[Dimitar]

Isn't Numel/Camerupt ground/fire? You don't have an asterisk by it.

 

[AJ Flibble]

Fire/Grass = flaming palm tree for the win. Ideas for these other quirky types can be found in the D/P Pokemon ideas thread. There's loads! *advertising*

But yes, a lot haven't been used yet.
