type changes

As much as I hate to say it, many will ignore/not read your posts, and will continue saying that Gyarados should be Water/Dragon...

Isn't this reminiscent of an old thread...or multiple old threads. It's riddled with "this pokemon learns this attack, so it should be this type!", "this pokemon is this color, so it should be this type!", "this pokemon looks mean so it should be a Dark type!", accompanied by the standard fire/dragon charizard and water/dragon gyarados statements, "dustox/beedrill/venomoth should be flying types cuz they gots wingz and can still be hit by earthquake!!", and "why is gengar poison??".

Anyway, the only ones I would like to change are golduck to water/psychic, luxray to electric/dark (and not just because the way it looks, but because of it being an x-ray which has a lighter area (electric) and a darker area (dark), as well as to rid it of its name as the inferior physical manectric). I've given up on pretty much all other pokemon types I have stated I wanted to change in the past because they really aren't needed.

I think that pretty much covers what any future posts might say.

I hate when they do that, here's just a mini-reason, and simple line for why isn't Charizard Fire/Dragon, Dustox/Beedrill/Venomoth aren't flying, and Gengar poisen:
Charizard: It's a starter, so it's unlikely they'd give it a strong type like that, add to that in gen1, there were no Dragon moves besides Dragon Rage hwich does 40..
Dustox/Beedrill/Venomoth: Yes they have wings, and yes they fly, but it doesn't mean they have to have the flying type, but more likely to be poisonous.
Gengar: It's poisen because it's made of gas...simple no?

I need that dude to explain again, why isn't venomoth flying or doesn't have levitate? I remember there was some perfectly logical reason, but I can't remember =[

Mainly because I want to explain to my sister, and I want to train one.

Then they need braining. It would help tenfold if they just read the myth behind Gyarados and his Water/FLYING element... which OMG is NOT going to CHANGE... and just bloody understand.

Not having a go at you of course.
 
i think i would want milotic dragon/water insted of just water type

Because pokemon can only have two typings and venomoth is obviously a bug/poison type (venom moth). And it doesn't have levitate because it can't levitate. It has to flap its wings to stay in the air, which is flying/fluttering and not levitating. Usually levitation describes being suspended in air in defiance of gravity.

That's the point, they just have to read and understand, but no they just stick the idea to their head, that Gyarados looks Dragon/is in the dragon breeding group..etc and therebefore it should be Dragon... this like saying Charizard and Milotic should be Dragon too, even though Gyarados is the lesser "dragon" of all three.

None important PS: [typo in last post, added "s" to your by mistake, as well as the instead of that, but it's fixed now]

not really true since giving flygon levitate is how they got around three-typing it
 
Vycksta, would you happen to have a link to that myth? I'd like to read it in its entirety. Whenever I try to search for it, all I come up with are the Dragon's Gate legends, which *gasp* simply say that the carp turns into a dragon when it climbs the waterfall.

Uh, not really. Levitation means you defy gravity and float in the air, which is why ghost pokemon and pokemon with psychic powers like solrock can levitate. My explanation for flygon is that it can levitate and defy gravity, being the desert spirit, and its wings are there to whip up sandstorms and propel itself forward while it is levitating. I got into an argument about this awhile back, and I am sticking to what I said then.
Point is, venomoth and friends are not ever going to get levitate so that their EQ peeve goes "poof" because they honestly cannot levitate.
 
Dunsparce should NOT have its type changed. That would ruin the point of what it's based on. And the Gyarados argument has been brought up already.

Besides, you don't want me to have my way with type changing. I'd make everything a part rock, ground, or steel type. Then the world would be awesome. And sandy.

Yeah you like those types, but would you really change all pokemon into those ? I meand for example my favourite type is steel, yet my team isn't all steel, nor that I want anything to have steel.
 
I would like Azurill to be a water type rather then a normal.
I also would like Bibarel to be a water ground instead of normal.
Although it would be cool if there was a pokemon which you could choose its second type apon evolution or something based on status, items and stuff like that. (arceus dousnt count cuz im talking about the second type)

Azurill is a bit weird, but it's probably normal, because it's an ordinary mouse (or whatever it's based on) which doesn't have water powers yet.

As for Bibarel, Normal/Water fits fine, as it is a uniq typing, as well making sence (It's a beaver which is normal, and water because its near rivers..etc).
 
Gyarados isn't Water/Dragon for a reason, as Vycksta, in their extremely small type has explained.

Gengar should be Ghost.

Sudowodo should be Rock/Grass.

And Milotic Water/Phychic.
 
i think illumise and volbeat should be part flying or bug electic.
clampearl should be par steel.
solrock should be fire, psychic.
and coz of solrock they should change lunatone to water, psychic or ice psychic.

it would be better if they had a "light" type pokemon, because then Solrock could be light/rock and lunatone could be dark/rock

but they should definitely be part rock... I mean, look at what they are completely made out of

Ah, the other myth that often leads to heated arguments between myself and others. Shame they don't read mythology books often.

All I have is my book. If you want me to scan that then... whoot?

@ Metal Force: It's stupid. It's like saying that all non-Ground types in the Ground breeding group must be part Ground themselves; it's stupid, most of them look nothing like Ground types and Game Freak cannot put every Pokemon in a single group.

But yeah, I do agree, most of the things people suggest is completely retarded.
