I personally don't think Fire types are that rare, you can usually find a lot midway through the game. Personally I think there needs to be more Ghost, Steel and Dark. Dark, being because you can barely ever find a Dark type to support you in-game. And there needs to be harder hitting attacks to support it. Crunch is the strongest and it still only does 80 damage. It's annoying.

Ghost being because, Ghosts are awesome types and can really help you in game but usually the only Ghost types you can find in-game are the Gengar family, and they're half-poison, so they're not all that great against Psychic.

Steel being because even though it's not the best of types it doesn't have that many Pokemon. And they're pretty good defensively, so they can help you sometimes in-game. And usually the only one you can find in game are the Magnemite family, (Steelix if you can find someone to trade Onix).

And really, I'd like to see more Dragon types that AREN'T overpowered. There are very few dragon types and most of them turn out to be pseudos, so I'd like to see an addition of Dragon types like Kingdra, good but not overpowered.

And yeah, there needs to be more ice types that you can find earlier in game. I'm probably forgetting about one, but... G/S/C, HG/SS? Not finding an ice type until the Ice path! :< It sucks cause ice types are great and interesting.

Yeah we definitely need more fire pokemon, gen IV didn't provide us with a single new fire type pokemon which you can find in the grass.

I'm glad that there are more Fire-types in this generation, as compared to Gen IV. Fire has always been one of my favorite types, and it disappointed me to be limited to only two that I could catch in-game.(and one was the starter). Hopefully either Hihidaruma is catchable early on enough to raise him well, or there's at least one more Fire-type to catch.

Never actually raised an Ice or Ghost, probably because of how difficult it is to find one. By the time I did, later in the games, my team was already set. So I would like to see a few more in this generation so I could maybe raise one.

I'd like to see some more bugs, and by the looks fo the ginormous forest, Grass and bugs are what we should expect...

i agree with this, but im gonna add on with a grass/dragon line as well

dieter57 July 17th, 2010 12:41 PM

grass/dragon would be uber.
especially if it was the grass starters final evo!

but i was trying to make a balanced pair. the ice/dragon would pwn the the grass one in a heart beat with like ice beam.

Volroc July 17th, 2010 12:42 PM

There are quite a few dual fire types that aren't fighting:

Charizard, Ho-Oh and Moltres (fire/flying)
Houndour and Houndoom (fire/dark)
Marcargo (fire/rock)
Numel and Camerupt (fire/ground)
Heatran (fire/steel)

As for me, I too would like more fire types. I quite like them a lot as I would need at least one in my team to get by the games, so there needs to be more more of them. D:

Ghost and Ice I tried them and I like them too. Like the others though, I tend to not use Ice types very much because I would have a water type learning at least one ice move. However, with the water types needing at least two water type HMs, I tend to get an ice Pokemon from time to time. XD As for me wanting more of them, ice I would like to see more while ghost I think we have quite a few already.

Slowking Bro July 18th, 2010 8:03 PM

Definitely! We didn't get enough Fire types at all! We could use some more Ice types, too. I love them, but there are only a select few that I like using. Ghost is great, too, but there aren't enough good ones.

PaxAmericana July 18th, 2010 10:18 PM

I don't really care what each pokemon type has in number

I don't care too much about number too. I mean, water is my favorite type even though many people complained about there being too many of them. XD However, it would be nice to have some types get some love for variety and such.

Oathkeeper(: July 18th, 2010 10:48 PM

I feel like there needs to be a bigger variety of Fire and Ghost types. Especially ghost...I can only think of like 6 or 7 off the top of my head.

PaxAmericana July 20th, 2010 6:58 AM

if it has a lot of fire types in the game then i will pick tsutaja,
if not then pokabu

MrGnawty July 20th, 2010 7:03 AM

I am not seeing any love of the Dark types. There are only 23 Dark type Pokemon. I want more.

I want some really bad too!!!

angelteama July 20th, 2010 11:09 PM

it be cool to see a dragon steel type.

Astinus July 21st, 2010 12:53 AM

@Resultz: Whoops. I forget about most of the new Pokemon (until I play the game and write the fics), so I appreciate you correcting me on that.

Speaking of Dragons, I'm going to hop off the bandwagon and say that I don't want to see more Dragon-type Pokemon. They're supposed to be rare and powerful, and to have a lot of them running around wouldn't make them seem special. I'm personally fine with a small amount of Dragons, and not having a lot to chose from.

It's the more common types that I'd like to see more of. Like Fire, and definitely Bug, as others have recently mentioned. There are a lot of bugs on Earth, so I would think that in the Pokemon world there would also be a lot of different Pokemon with the Bug-type. Due to the rarity of Bug Pokemon, I haven't played around with the type as much as I want.

Kylie-chan August 14th, 2010 10:29 PM

Those who have pointed out that the region doesn't look overly cold are correct, but the seasonal cycle shows snow. So there's no reason there can't be lots more Ice-types for winter now. ^^ I'd like to see more Ice-types, as well as a bonus +Def hail boost to them to match sandstorm's +SpD boost to Rock-types, since Ice-types are frail as a general trend. Fire-types would be nice too, preferably with lots of interesting typing combinations. Can I say... Fire/Water? =p As for Ghosts, the more Ghosts, the better. I'd love a Ghost/Steel (bulky for competitive battles ^^;;) and Ghost/Water, though. A ghost of the sea, lurking...

As for Dragons, I agree with the sentiment that they're supposed to be rare and unique. They're also inherently a very powerful type -- don't want too many of those running around. :x

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 14th, 2010 10:45 PM

I imagine lots of Ice types in the Winter and Fire types in the summer, not sure if we will have lots of ghost though

King Gumball August 14th, 2010 11:46 PM

We have seen many new Psychic pokemon, so I think psychic will be the most plentiful type in Isshu. Or water, as there are always heaps of water types. I really hope there are more Dark types this time round that dont have Ghost, Grass or Normal as their second typing.
