Type changes

[HiroKazuma]

Don't you guys think that some types should be weak against others
Water should be super effective against Steel.
Poison should be super effective against Normal.
Then again, it would throw off the whole attack chart.

The first statement: What about stainless steel? Boats? They survive in water.

Second statement: Nah.

 

[Knightmare]

Yes, it would throw off the whole attack chart.
I wouldn't like that so much but...
I think Psychic should be weak against Psychic! 0=

 

[Spriteman]

This ain't the TCG lol.

But naa, crap idea, I'd hate it.

 

[Silverevilchao]

That wouldn't work, either. You'd have to have a disciplined mind to use psychic abilities, and, because of that, you can resist the mental attacks from others...

In the TCG, the Purple color represents Psychic AND Ghost. Hence why 99.9% of all Purple-typed Poke'mon have a purple weakness.

That would be kind of weird..Two pokemon using Psychic on eachother. They would kill each other!

I always thought Electric shouldn't be able to effect Steel...

-water needs a physical weakness... most people nominate poison, since water gets polluted and poison needs another strength. The only problem with this is that two starter types would end up having a common weakness.

-while not needed, dark could use a special weakness for balance. Just not sure what type it would be...

-Dragon gets a physical weakness to steel. Hey, dragon slayers, kinda makes sense, and steel only has two strengths anyway.

It threw me off though, awhile ago in the videogames, when I was still under the impression that Psychic was weak against psychic, was it that way in R/B/Y or something?

Good ideas....Poison does need a strength , other than Grass and Fighting. I still didn't under stand the grass weak against poison thing though.

Poison isn't strong to fighting, just normal to it. Fighting's only weaknesses are flying and psychic (defensively)

I could've sworn Posion was strong against Fighting....@__@

 

[Iveechan]

Nope, poison only has one strength. It used to be strong against bugs in the very first games, oddly...

 

[danburite]

The only thing I want is for Poison to be STRONG against Steel. I mean, most Poison attacks utilise some kind of corrosive acid, so why make them immune?
If anything, Steels should only be immune to the "Poison" status, rather than the type.

Yah, I thought that the type charts in the first games were different...
were there any other differences?

 

[◘Ins0mnIac◘]

I would like to see Poison become stong against Water. Water poisoning anyone?

pollutiing ^^

 

[Ho-oh Seeker]

Water should be weak against flying; imagine a pidgeotto diving to the surface of the water, grabbing a remoraid and flying away with its prey. The remoraid didn't stand a chance, which is why I think the same should apply to battling.

 

[Jiggy37]

I just want for Poison to not be weak against Psychic. I can come up with justifications for every other weakness/resistance, though some of them are difficult, but that one baffles me.

Only Acid uses acid... It seems to me that Sludge and Sludge Bomb are poisonous sludge that would probably just drip right off, and Poison Sting, Poison Fang, and Poison Tail wouldn't be able to penetrate the steel to get to the Pokemon underneath.

Im suprised steel isnt week to electric, steel is a conductor
