How many of each type of Pokémon?

[Glitter Stain]

All of them, of course. Including non-evolved.

An Ice/Dragon would be very cool. Seeing that in fantasy RPGs they have mountain Dragons, regular Dragons, Dragon Lords, Winter Dragons, etc. I do see an Ice/Dragon Pokémon in this game. I think its only weakness would be fighting.

What about Rock, Steel, and Dragon?

No there's nothing the world needs more than a Ice/Dragon. I can't express how long I've been waiting for one. (It'd help if Ice resisted Dragon).

Gyroh I'm guessing your not super familiar with today's metagame standards, which is totally fine. Sadly some of those dark pokes arn't quite making the list, mainly Houndoom, It's not bulky/fast enough to pull off Sunny Day.
Dragonite's usage only really went down because Salamence and Kingdra gained Outrage in Platinum, before that it wasn't uncommon to see them from time to time.

What I meant was- he said the only weakness would be Fighting, when it would still be weak to 3 other types.

 

[Gyroh]

Yup, Glitter's right, forgot about those 3 types.

Actually, I'm not familiar with any metagame since I've never battled competively. I own Ruby, haven't played the new ones yet. So, all I know is not based on experience, its based on reading. I looked on GameFAQs for movesets and thats where I found out about EVs, vitamins, natures, movesets, and everything. I raise Pokémon to lvl 100 with proper EVs and movesets, though the only place I can test them on battle is on the battle tower since I don't know people that still play these games.

But still, I mean, they may not be the best Pokémons to use, there are better, such as the OU, but that doesn't take the fact that they are still good and can actually do something in battles. They are not completely useless. I'd rather use uncommon Pokémon than OUs because it kinda gets old to see the same Pokémons in battles IMO. Unfortunately, my chances of winning are lowered.

I'm still thinking Dark types are fine, there are other types with worse Pokémon, such as Bug type. How many of the bugs are actually useful?

I'd like to remind those who say "doesn't surprise me since three quarters of the earth's surface is covered in water" that the keyword there is 'covered'. Surface disregarded, it's fairly clear that Rock, Ground, Steel, or even Fire should be the far more plentiful.

 

[Zennyo Ryūō]

It really surprises me that there are not many Fighting-types.

I expected a lot more.

Rock, Ground, Steel, agreed.
Fire? Fire is a form of energy, that does appear and disappear seemingly at its own will.

Quantity-wise Fire-types are rare, with only 17 fully evolved Pokémon among them, of which there are four legendaries and four starter Pokémon. So technically, only 9 Fire-type Pokémon are easily available. This makes sense as most forms of fire are extremely rare in nature.

It does not make sense to add many more fire-types if it is supposed to be 'rare'.
And if 70% of the Earth is covered in water, would it not make sense that there are more animals in the water than it is on land?
Unless you drop something like Potassium in water, then it is pretty much no fire for you in water. And I really doubt that we'll get a Castform "Sodium forme", with the ability Flame Body while it is raining.

Summary:
Lots of water does not equal that there should be more fire in the world. ;)

Honestly I think we need more dark types...we are at a short supply...and absol would have to be one of the coolest dark types they made...I hope htey keep that up....

 

[Callandor]

Bug as the most common would make alot more sence. I mean there are supposed to be like a hundered new speacices a day (anyone feel free to corect me if i'm wrong).

 

[Gyroh]

I don't want that many bugs, I only want bugs to be good.

Fighting, rock, steel, and dragon. =/
Still, I'd keep it.

Better than 4x weakness to ice. We have too many of those, between torterra and dragonite and garchomp and tropius!

There should have been more fire types (favorite) and the reason for so many water types is that the earth is like 90% of water but lighting already has my idea.

 

[Candace]

I wish they'd focus more on Fire, Ice and Steel. They're three of my favorite types

You mean 70%
