    It would complicate things too much for younger players and would make pokemon a drag. Are there gonna be gym leaders who use two kinds of pokemon now? I think it is pretty realistic the way it is.

    Nah, I think its a bad idea. If the game was that complicated, it wouldn't be fun. Really it seems kind of silly to me... why do we need more types? Its like putting all the colors of paint in a mix, you end up with a muddy mess, not a rainbow.

    Lol, it's complicated enough already trying to get used to attacks being a different type of special or physical. I'm not ready to start memorizing second and third Pokémon types and I'm eighteen. Think of the younger kids who play the games. XD;

    Not everything has to be shiny lights, and pretty rainbows, but you do got a point, double types moves are a little too advance to go into, and the strength's and weaknesses of pokemon would have to be relearned all of over again, instead of going with what we have.

    Yeah, I got into pokemon in third grade. I wouldn't have understood it if there were triple types and double-moves.

    If a single-type attack can do damage x4, it's kind of risky to grow that.

    Imagine a Fire-Flying move (Fire Spin maybe) against a Bug/Grass Pokémon. It would do ridiculous damage, as well as a Fire-Fighting move against a Water-Poison Pokémon.

    Yeah...when you start getting into using double attacks against double Pokémon with weaknesses and advantages all over the place...it'd get way too complicated. While Pokémon is simple enough for kids to get it, it's also already complicated enough for more mature players what with IV/EVs and such.

    And that's not even considering the "triple type" suggested, either. :x

    Agreed. It's already hard with mixed types, I don't need mixed moves either.

    I think it'd be cool to have a least one move that's a Water/Fire double type move. Something like it could be like Boil Wave and do damage with both types in the mix.

    umm, but water and fire oppose each other into making harmless steam. How would that make an effective double type move.
