type changes

The prey bites back!
If you could change the type of a pokemon to something else or totally drop a type off of it what would it be?
Ex. I would make grumpig a dual type with it's second type being dark
 
Currently, all the Pokémon don't drastically need a type change to me. However, there are times where I wish Infernape was a Fire/Psychic so people would shut up about it taking over Blaziken's role as a Fire/Fighting starter.

Oh, and perhaps it would have been awesome if Electivire was an Electric/Fighting type and Magmortar was perhaps a Fire dual type like Fire/Psychic or Fire/Ghost.
 
I would have liked Charizard to be Fire/Dragon but apart from that i think the Pokemon are fine with their types now
 
I would Bulbasaur to be a just plain old grass starter. It doesn't make any sense for there to be a dual type starter.

I would also like Manaphy to be Water and Psychic because it would match the other angels. Mew(Psychic), Celebi(Grass and Psychic), Jirachi(Steel and Psychic), and then Manaphy just plain water!? It would make more sense.
 
I think Regigigas should be Fighting or Normal/Fighting.
 
Gyarados: I think it would seriously make more sense to be a dragon type and water. I mean come on it can learn more Dragon type moves than flying moves

I second that. Gyarados can't learn any Flying moves, but a lot of Dragon moves.

Anyway, the Duskull line should be part Dark, hence the "dusk".
 
i think dunsparce should be either normal/dragon, ground/dragon, normal/ground, ground, or dragon. I also think that genaric birds from each generation should be pure flying except for noctowl who should be flying psychic
 
Well, Infernape should've been Psychic/Fire. Bulbasaur should've been just Grass, because it doesn't have any signs of Poison-ness until it turns into Ivysaur.

Don't you think something with Gyarados' movepool and stats would be a just a little overpowered with that typing? There's a reason Kingdra has such a small movepool and no outstanding stats. What would you propose Gyara give up in order to have this Water/Dragon typing?
 
Eh, nothing big but Luxray becomes Dark/Electric because of it's looks the first time I saw it.
 
Lucario to be Fighting-Dark. (Where the heck did Steel come from -.-)

Garchomp to be Dragon-Dark. (It doesn't look like a Ground type)

Gyarados to be Water-Dragon or just Water. (can't fly...lol)

Swellow to be pure Flying and Staraptor to be Flying Dark.

many more but i can't be bothered. :D
 
I think most typings are fine except for Gyarados as said before. We don't need normal/random type because girafarig and the flying pokemon actually have a reason for the double typing and most others don't.

Lucario to be Fighting-Dark. (Where the heck did Steel come from -.-) I must agree about the steel part, but he should be Fighting/Psychic IMO, I mean, ARUA guide pokemon?, though he doesn't need any change drasticly

Garchomp to be Dragon-Dark. (It doesn't look like a Ground type) No, his whole evo line is part ground, he learn ground moves, the only dark move he learns is crunch, and he DOES look like ground/dragon

Gyarados to be Water-Dragon or just Water. (can't fly...lol) *sigh* the reson Gyarados is part flyinf is cuz he is based on a jap myth about a little weak fish (Magikarp) who swan up a waterfall, so the gods made him a FLYING serpent(though GF need to make him learn Fly)

Swellow to be pure Flying and Staraptor to be Flying Dark. WTH are you talking about, if there will be a pure flying type it would be a gust of wind, or a cloud (though a cloud can also be flying/water), and Staraptor? Dark?! Whats so Dark about him?

many more but i can't be bothered. :D

My comment in bold (I'm like the flamers in the SSBB theard, yeay me ^^)
 
Regigas should be part grass or pure grass, because of the grass and stuff on its shoulders (or somewhere around there, I cant remember what it looks like right now.
 
I think the whole Fire/Psychic combo should've been given to Infernape (not necessarily Monferno), because I DO feel that the Chimchar line is an exact replica of the Torchic line. Nintendo should've left Monferno as a Fire-type alone, and let it grow like a Charmander, learning Flamethrower and whatnot. THEN it could evolve in Infernape, gaining moves like Psychic and Calm Mind.

Funnily enough, Infernape also gains moves like "Close Combat" and "Mach Punch" And then again it also gets "Taunt", "Nasty Plot" and "Payback"

So from our arguments we have come to the conclusion that Infernape should have been the first Fire / Psychic / Fighting / Dark Pokemon. Kudos to us.
