Incorrect Pokemon Types
 
Have you ever seen a certain pokemon that looked like an ice type but really wasnt

This first happened when i saw Phanpy ........

I thought that it was a water type because elephants have the power to shoot water out of there trunks ... and it would make more sense

and Gyarados ( Water/Dragon) it would make more sense because its in the dragon group

Any1 agree Reply

water dragon Gyarados = Gyarados upgraded itself to "Curselax" rank...

Even though Gyarados is made in the image of the chinese dragons (dragon that's more like a snake, and it can fly without wings), it shouldn't be a dragon due to balance reasons.

I mistook Wobbufett (I know I spelled that wrong) as a normal type. o_O; @[email protected] It looks so boring, so.. yeah.

I don't understand why the Gastly chain is part poison. o_o;

Frostweaver September 6th, 2003 1:50 PM

perhaps it's the thing that Gastly is "gas" and it's suppose to suffoicate people. Therefore it's acting kinda like poison gas i suppose... who knows.

(btw Lightning i tried to restart my comp, log off and log back on and i can post again)

tyranitar0000 September 6th, 2003 3:34 PM

I will be posting all my ideas.

Charizard-Fire/Dragon
Squirtle and evo.-Water/Steel
Kangaskhan-Fighting (Kangaskhan is baesd on Genghis Khan)
Hoothoot/Noctowl-Flying/Psychic
Dunsparce-Ground
Seviper-Dark/Poison (heh heh heh)

Kairi September 6th, 2003 8:21 PM

Well, now that it has Levitate, it makes it cheap because it can't be Toxic'd, and has a lot of resistances and immune to Ground.

Frostweaver September 6th, 2003 11:27 PM

good thing Absol is created... i found Absol to be one of the best Pokemon to destroy ghost types with torment and shadowball. Torment just kills Dusclops bad...

Dizzy September 7th, 2003 8:22 AM

Ninetales - Fire/Ghost
Ursaring - Pyschic
Phanphy - Water/Ground

I think your ideas for Ninetales and Ursaring are off a little. :confused:

Dizzy September 7th, 2003 9:09 AM

nope there not ..........

sorry if im flamming you or bashing you but your idea of squirtle being water/steel are off too ............

ok anyways back on the subject

Amphie September 7th, 2003 9:50 AM

Vulpix/Ninetales- fire/psychic
Gyarados- water/dragon (why flying??? I really don`t understand this)
Ampharos- electric/dragon
Togetic- normal/psychic

Frostweaver September 7th, 2003 11:34 AM

Now that's like the 3rd time someone questioned Gyarados to be a dragon. It should really be water/dragon, but then the result of that is Gyarados becoming everyone's favorite earthquaker... it's part flying for pure balance reasons in the gameboy games. Plus flying makes sense too, since it doesn't need to crawl on land and it doesn't exactly "levitate" too. So flying is as close as you can get.

Dizzy September 7th, 2003 11:48 AM

There should be a new Solarbeam

It would make sense if the pokemon gathered engery from the sun ......... but the sun shot the beam

There should also be like a Moonbeam or LunarBeam

But it wqould be dark element ^^

i dont care if you dont agree with me

Pezz September 7th, 2003 2:17 PM

I agree that Phanpy should be water/ground.

I'm not sure about Ursaring being Psychic, but Ninetales should definately be fire/ghost. If you know what Ninetales is based on, it would make sense, but I don't really feel like explaining it now. It's like that little guy in the Zelda games that you can summon wearing the mask.

Frostweaver September 7th, 2003 2:27 PM

it's the ninetail fox... if Shiftry who is based on Tengo gets to be dark type, then Ninetales should be part ghost... anyone saw the Jhoto episode of Ninetales? Plus learning confuse ray and will o wisp (2 rather ghost like move) it should really be part ghost...

Umm... No, elepahants can't shoot water. You abviously watch too many cartoons because the spray it. And they also can't even drink water throught there trunk so theres no way its gonna get blasted out of it, and even if it somehow could, it could't breethe then and it would kill itself trying...

Game set and match.

Dizzy September 8th, 2003 5:23 PM

does it matter , if they have the ability to spray water then they should be water/groun ^^

Frostweaver September 8th, 2003 5:46 PM

imagine the trunk to be like a big tube. They just fill part of it with water, then let it FLOW OUT again later... i believe a Chansey can do that too if it uses its pocket to fill it up with water, then to let it flow out again... but that doesn't mean Chansey should be part water.

However as a cartoon itself, Phanpy can just "evolve" into a funny looking elephant that can do that ^^;

Spike Razzor September 8th, 2003 5:58 PM

Its abvious you all don't get it, what your telling me is that Phampy will have a short burst of water and then it can't do it again cause it needs to put more water in it trunk... And Frost is telling me that Chansey will take out it egg leaving it exposed to the cold, just so it could fill up its 3 & 1/2 inch deep pocket with not even enough water to do anything and it will magicly blast it at some fire pokemon...

Frostweaver September 8th, 2003 6:17 PM

i think you're the one with a little misunderstanding.

You got almost exactly what i was trying to say. I wrote that Chansey example to see how weird of an idea this is... Chansey can use Water Gun in Dizzy's way by using the methods i wrote up there. But how can you blast water from a little pocket? all i can do is clumsily walk over to the side of a Torkoal, and jump up so water will flow out of the pocket and land on to Torkoal... that's as close of a water attack Chansey can ever get... and just cause it got this weird way of "Water Gun," that means it should be part water? no...

so Phanpy in the same sense shouldn't be part water...

Making it Water would only be a waste of time, it would be gain no speacial advance over Rock, Ground, and Fire cause it can learn moves that could KO them easy. And even if it could learn Water attacks its trunk its way too small and flat, plus it would only make it weak against itself.

StellarWind September 9th, 2003 10:27 PM

Well, in my opinion, the Ralts-Kirlia-Gardevoir line should have been Grass/Psychic and female only. The thing on their heads looks like a leaf, kind of, and if they could learn some grass moves, they'd be a lot better altogether (Ralts is annoying to level up, yes inded.)

As for why female only? Just look at Kirlia and Gardevoir. It's an Annoying White Pixie, evolving into A Ballgown Girl. I bet that male Gardevoirs get picked on a lot. ;P

Frostweaver September 9th, 2003 10:30 PM

at the same time the classical "Machamp is male only" argument will be brought up... it looks like a male only! look at all those muscles! well like stated before in old PC, it is completely possible... like how female spiders are completely almight and powerful compare to the wimpy males who'll get eaten right after you know what activities

So if Machamps who look like male but can be female, why can't Gardevoir be male? We see cross dressers in real life too ^_^;;

EDIT: a rather big typo in last sentence... forgot 3 important words >_<

StellarWind September 9th, 2003 10:34 PM

Just because Machamp is a human-shaped steroid-breathed bastard doesn't meant that he has to be male only. I've seen female bodybuilders before. OW. Scary. But they still exist. Now, Considering their human shape, most people assume that female 'champs, 'chokes and co. have, uh, chest developments, if you know what I mean. However, Machamp, Machoke and Machop are NOT mammals, and so there's no reasons there'll be much difference in the form of males and females (except for maybe larger hips on the females, and that's a level of detail the games won't get to.) Sexual Dimorphism in Pokemon only exists in a few cases (Latios/Latias, Volbeat/Illumise, Tauros/Miltank and the Nidorans). I don't see why people consider Machamp as male only looking.

Gardevoir though, is a whole different story. Although whatever gender it is, that red thing stuck in their chests has GOTTA hurt. o_O

Iveechan September 10th, 2003 11:09 PM

Yay, my "there's nothing wrong with the Machop line being female" argument is working, mwa ha ha! In birds of prey, hyenas, and some other animals, females are the larger and stronger sex, so there's nothing wrong with female Pokemon being big and strong too.

Gardevoir doesn't really have breasts, it just looks like it has a gown and maybe a slight female shape. But I don't see what's so bad about it being male. How do you imagine a male Gardevoir to look like anyway?

Back on topic...

Mawile should've either been part Dark or pure Dark... it doesn't learn Steel moves that are offensive (I think), and its Sapphire equivalent is part Dark. Either way, its stats still stink :P

Seviper would have been SO cool if it was part Dark!

Altaria... this is a long shot... part Ice. If it learned maybe Icy Wind on its own, I could see this happening. But don't get on my case about this, I did say it was a long shot. I'm so sick of Dragon/Flying types...

Speaking of Icy Wind, Sneasel SHOULD NOT be an Ice type. It should be pure Dark or part Fighting.
