I'll like to see a Dragon/Grass Pokémon, I feel like we're overdue for one...

Ho-Oh March 29th, 2013 7:07 PM

Dragon/grass should've been Serperior. :( And bringing it in now would just... be a slap in the face p much. I don't mind though but people might get a little annoyed lool.

Kurapika March 29th, 2013 7:08 PM

^ Why not a Dragon/Grass evolution for Tropius. (like someone already said before)
EDIT: If Serperior was Dragon Grass.... It would be awesome x awesome.

I personally would love to see the Normal type get more interesting combinations. I really liked Sawsbuck, which drew my attention to the lack of Normal being combined with very many other types. In fact, Normal has only been combined with Flying, Psychic, Water, Grass, and Fighting, which is kind of surprising to me. All of the Pokemon with a Normal/something other than flying type are also particularly interesting to me (despite maybe Bibarel). This makes me hope that the next generation brings more types combined with normal, hopefully resulting in some pretty cool Pokemon design-wise. Some particular combinations I would like to see are Normal/Ghost, Normal/Ice, Normal/Electric, and Normal/Dragon.

Kurapika March 29th, 2013 7:22 PM

I would love to see a Normal/Ghost, another Normal/Psy, another Normal/Fighting, less Normal/Fly (lol)

Ho-Oh March 29th, 2013 7:29 PM

A Normal/Fire-type would be awesome if it had like, Wild Charge, Double Edge, Flare Blitz and like Moxie imo :x

Archeops12354 March 29th, 2013 11:09 PM

I would definitely like to see a Normal/Ghost pokemon, only one weakness - Dark.

Ho-Oh March 30th, 2013 12:34 AM

If there was a Normal-Ghost, then I think it'd be crazy defensiveee. I could see it like Sableye, kind of, too!

Ho-Oh March 30th, 2013 3:10 AM

I don't really see Normal/Ghost as the best offensive type sooo yeah :( Just with the whole immunities thing I'd think it'd be defensive!

Archeops12354 March 30th, 2013 4:57 AM

I agree that Normal/Ghost would be defensive because of the three immunities, maybe they could go a little further and give it levitate - giving it the most immunities of all pokemon (aside from Shedinja), so yeah defensive pokemon like Dusclops, maybe have pain split and confuse ray.

My question is what would it look like?

imevil March 30th, 2013 5:00 AM

I want to see a Fire/Psycic or a Fire/Poison

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire March 30th, 2013 10:18 AM

Double on the fire/Poison. Perhaps it can be based on flammable toxins in the air, or something like that. Or maybe another Skunk.

Another Combo I wanna see is Steel/Poison... we have Electric/Ground, and Ground/Flying already so why not match up the rest of the types with immunities what they're immune. And as mentioned already on this thread, Normal/Ghost too.

I would imagine it being just like a Halloween costume type sheet ghost. It would be a really simplistic design, which in my opinion would be refreshing.

I also agree with the conflicting type combinations, because they can lead to some really awesome and possible useful Pokemon.

Kurapika March 30th, 2013 4:24 PM

Halloween... Some pumpkin Poke might be really cool. Ghost/Dark or Ghost/Grass. :D or probably Grass/Fire lol with Wonder Guard? o_o XD

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire March 30th, 2013 7:29 PM

I'll love a Ghost/Grass Pokémon to annoy Gardenia who loves Grass types but fears Ghosts lol.
A Fire/Grass Pokemon! Yes, please let there be one!

Xander Olivieri March 30th, 2013 7:38 PM

Trying to wrap my head around Normal/Ghost...1 weakness, 2 resistances (which is kinda bad) and 3 immunities (two of which probably aren't that important but I guess all three are ok)...course since its a ghost chances for 4 immunities exists thanks to Levitate, but still, it only resists Poison (not used that often anyway outside of Toxic really) and Bug which is again, a not very used type offensively.

Then you have its poor attack choices. Effectively its only good against Psychic and Ghost types. While both are ok, a Normal/Ghost without some extraordinary stats will most likely never really see any use. Then its resisted by a lot of types offensively. Rock, Steel, Dark, and can't hit other Normals or Ghosts depending on what moves it has.

Both offensively and defensively its a very neutral Pokemon to use and wouldn't be a fan favorite choice for roughly anything. Like I said it would have to have some amazing stats to make up for the bland type coverage and have a highly diverse move pool to make up for its own lack of attack options.

Archeops12354 March 30th, 2013 7:39 PM

Fire/Grass, didn't I already make something like that? I think it was a chilli pokemon called Burilli, it was a Fire/Grass pokemon I made up a few pages ago.

I would really like a Grass/Ghost that is like a jack-o-lantern, it would also make sense because pokemon X & Y come out in October (in Australia at least), and Halloween is in October as well, so I would not be surprised at all if GF made a pumpkin pokemon

But that might be too strong :x I mean, only really weak to rock/flying is even lower than Shedinja's!

Midnight-Umbreon March 31st, 2013 9:28 AM

I would love a dark/electric mouse like an evil pikachu thing!!!! IT WOULD BE SOOOOOO COOL!!!!

Ho-Oh April 1st, 2013 9:57 PM

Oh hey if they made Pokemon evil then maybe this generation's Pikachu could actually be... a dark version of it, unrelated to it, but just... evil?

Archeops12354 April 1st, 2013 10:59 PM

I agree with Midnight-Umbreon, I would love gen 6's Pikachu ripoff to be Electric/Dark, I also don't want it to be a worthless pile of suck, *cough* Emolga *cough*.



(Not my design)

Ho-Oh April 1st, 2013 11:33 PM

I like the first one! But the second one doesn't really seem Pokemon-y. :( looks like something you'd find in a random anime. :x

Archeops12354 April 2nd, 2013 12:32 AM

Yeah I agree, the second one doesn't seem very rodent-ish like the first stage version

Zayphora April 2nd, 2013 2:28 AM

Steel/Poison was mentioned...it could involve corrosive acid of some form. Cool.

Kurapika April 2nd, 2013 10:37 AM

Fighting-Flying please!!
Dark-Electric sounds like some cool combinations
Steel-Poison hmm sounds nice may be a defensive pokes especially if it will have Levitate or a recycle ability to get back the popped up air balloons. :D
