    Anybody got a Thundurus? I'll trade a Shaymin or a lvl 100 Darmanitan for one?

    I'm sure people would want Darmanitan seeing that Shaymin is super easy to get with him being this months event Pokemon.

    hey guys, if there was ever going to be a new type, what would you want it to be.

    My mind keeps going to Mythic Type, where it would house much more Cryptid, folkloric creatures and items (from north american to slavic). Pokemon who are very ancient and are the oldest specimens since after the ice age, but reside in the deepest parts of nature and are rarely seen.

    Be weak to dragon, rock and ice, strong against fairy, steel and normal. Ice would be immune to it. Resists ghost and Poison.

    Maybe Manaphy, Phione, Shaymin, Darkrai. Arcanine, Unown, Meloetta an Tornadus (replacing normal), the regis and lake guardians getting it as a second type.

    While perhaps Mew and Arceus would become pure mythic types.


    Just an idea, but personally I don't think we need more types without other types sounding a bit too similar to others, but I'd love to hear what you guys come up with.

    I'm actually of the belief that you can condense a whole lot of types and the game would be fine.

    Bug, Dragon, Fighting, and Poison would be gone, and their individual members redistributed among the other types. Poison would be the only iffy one there. The other three are more appropriate as egg groups, which they practically are already.

    Ice could merge with Water or be redefined as the Cold type, emphasizing its difference from Water.

    Rock and Ground are low-hanging fruit when discussing type merging - they never should have been separate to begin with. You could optionally merge the Steel type in with them or keep it separate - there are advantages and disadvantages to both options.

    Flying should be remade as the Wind type, removing any bird-like connotations in favor of pure air attacks.

    Psychic, Dark, Ghost, and Fairy could be merged into a single Spirit type or kept as Psychic, Light (formerly Fairy), and Dark (formerly Dark and Ghost).

    Honestly, apart from Rock/Ground the only condensing that needs to happen is the elimination of Normal/Flying. Pure flying type, peeps!

    I enjoy the increased variety, so I wouldn't want types to be removed.

    Unrelated, I seriously want Ice to get a defensive buff. Resists only itself? That's laughable. It literally means getting Ice as a second type will only give you more weaknesses...

    agreed, it should at least be resistant or immune to water attacks.

    I don't think we need to add or take away types. Keep it as is. We went about 3 generations without adding a type.

    It was just a hold over due to Curse's type being ???, I believe to prevent the game from bugging out (Multitype could be every type, and since Curse's typing was ???, they didn't want to have any strange issues occur if the game was hacked and Arceus's type was forcefully changed to it, which also explains the special sprite for it, too)

    It's status as no weaknesses only comes from the fact that, beyond Arceus, no Pokemon can have it as a type and it's only move deals no direct damage.

    I'm kind of glad they got rid of ??? in XY.
