Don't worry, the numbers actually got bumped up to 100, 200, and 300 haha. However, in exchange, there's gonna be a LOT less BOO-ing. XD

Hmm any toughts about a new type

That's a good question. Can you guys think of anything that a new type may be based on? :o

Personally, I just hope that the next type beats Electric and loses to Poison. =)

54 I was always gunning for a light type :>
But poor dark types have it shitty enough

If anything I feel the new type should be weak to dark and strong against fairy. I didn't get why dark needed to get that nerf and it now being able to hit stel mons isn't much of an upgrade.

Sothis January 30th, 2016 8:53 PM

56 Maybe have dark and light strong against the each other? But i don't know what light would have to do w poison

Oh, yeah! I almost completely forgot about that, and I definitely agree with you that Fairy should have a new weakness.

I like the sound of two types being super-effective against each other, haha. As for Light and Poison... yeahhh let's just pretend it makes sense, because #PokémonLogic has always been trustworthy. :p

Sothis January 30th, 2016 9:40 PM

58 that's true, they can come up with some contorted way for it to make sense.

I think there were enough types even before they introduced the Fairy type, any more and it will be too many imo. Fairy type was only introduced to nerf the Dragons and now I think the typing system is balanced nicely. The only remaining two types that perhaps could also be nerfed are Electric and Normal types since they both have only one weakness each, even then that could be done without introducing another type by altering already existing types like they have done with Steel and Poison.

YES. I pretty much agree with most of this, though I also think they need to cut the amount of weaknesses that Grass-types have, and then it would look more balanced than before. :D

I didn't have a real problem with the old set-up. Dragon might be super strong defensively with only two weaknesses and a bunch of resistances, but it's worthless offensively. That is, if it weren't for the fact that dragons have an above-average base-stat total and can learn moves of many other elements. If you look at dragons as near-legendary creatures, it's not really strange they are slightly stronger either.
Anyway, if you have to take stats, moves and everything in account as well, it's impossible to have everything perfectly balanced. So I agree they'd better just stick with the current types, there are enough of them already.

Otamajakushi January 31st, 2016 9:08 AM

62 - Also remember that the game is so seasoned, that adding a new type would be extremely difficult to balance. Balancing a game in general is also very hard. I also agree that there are plenty of types already and 18 is a nice, round number.

I dedicate my 1000th to #TeamTrivia!

Sothis January 31st, 2016 1:17 PM

63 I could see Steel being strong against electric :>

LilyGardy January 31st, 2016 1:19 PM

I have heard Sound being suggested as a possible typing.

If there is a new typing it needs to be weak to Grass which is a type that needs a boost.

Dark may be a cool typing but it makes sense that it is weak to Fairy. Fairy is as close to a 'light' type as we are going to get so it being strong against the dark Type and Fighting makes a lot of sense.

Dragon only had two weaknesses before Gen 6 and needed another weakness for balance.

Killua January 31st, 2016 1:38 PM

I think a weakness to grass, poison, ghost and dark and super effective against steel, fairy and dragon.

Sothis January 31st, 2016 2:06 PM

66 Then dragon would be doomed ;A;

If that ever happens just no...no

67

Im good with the amount of types we have i mean i always thought we needed a light type to compare to dark types but now we got fairies (LIKE DEDENNE) so i think we got enough i mean we got all the elements and stuff you know what we didnt need? rock types those things are so uneeded it could just fall into ground i mean really.

You do? As steel conducts electricity, I'd earlier say it'd be the other way around.

Now that sounds really interesting, certainly since all sound moves break through Substitute these days. Also, Soundproof would become like a Levitate variant.


By the way, what do you think of an undead type? I don't mean ghosts (we already have those), but zombies, vampires and such. I'd love to see those!

Otamajakushi February 1st, 2016 12:50 PM

69 How many Mew have you received so far? I'm up to 6. I don't know why I *need* 6+ Mew, but they're there.

Killua February 1st, 2016 12:58 PM

Well i receveid a incredibleamount of zero

Otamajakushi February 1st, 2016 5:18 PM

71 - I'm sure you'll get a Mew. They're being distributed in many regions!

Sothis February 1st, 2016 6:04 PM

72 you could always donate 1 mew to me, a person who rather likes mew

Hikamaru February 1st, 2016 6:21 PM

Some countries are still missing out.

Meadow February 1st, 2016 6:30 PM

I haven't played the main series Pokémon games in a reeeeeally long time, so I'll probably be missing out on Mew. :c

Heh, did you make that image?

Not too much other than the numbers being doubled, as well as an interesting discussion about Zygarde!
