Well I didn't say that wouldn't be the case, I only said that in my opinion, it would make more sense for a dual-typed move to change the type instead of having both at the same time.
:)
It's still called "dual-typed" since it has access to both types.
2 types at the same time would be ridiculous. 8x SE damage? No thanks. Imagine how complicated everything would become. Seems unlikely imo.
Also the term "dual-type" could be a rough translation and we don't know exactly what that means so I guess we should wait and see what happens to that rumor.
The "Dual" Types means 2 types. That doesn't mean the attack is one type while the damage is another. If that were the case then Dual Type attacks have existed since Gen 2. Which is not the case. Pokemon are Dual Typed. They have two types associated with them. The term is already laid out for us, so calling an attack Dual Typed means the attack is 2 types.
Being one type and damaging another does not give access to two types either. The type that deals the Damage is the only one that counts as far as calculations are concerned. Resistance, Immunity, Super Effectiveness, STAB are all based on the damage type.
As far as translation goes, the guy was supposedly giving out english names so that was supposed to be the translated version. No mistakes were made according to info. Which was already proven wrong with his "Panchum" explanation.
