Yeah, best title ever tbh. Anyway, we all know that there are some Pokemon that should have an extra type. >_> Bleh, let me explain more.

I think Grimer should be Poison/Water, not just pure Poison since it inhabit's water as well as sludgy rubbish. :c

I also think Emboar should be Fire/Ground/Rock (Either Ground or Rock.)

So, what Pokemon do you think should of gotten different types than they already have?

I always though Braviary should have been Fighting/Flying instead of Normal/Flying. Also Gyarados, Charizard and Serperior should've been part Dragon. Don't worry I know why they're not I just think they should have been. I also think Cohagrigus should have been Ghost/Rock or Steel judging on its appearance. I also think Cascoon should also be part Poison Type. I also think Ninetails should've been Fire/Ghost or Dark because of its curses.

Groudon should have been part Fire! so a Ground/Fire
Kyogre, I think, Should be part electric, for a Water/Electric combo.
Cubone/Marowak being part fighting for a Fighting/Ground would be interesting.

I think the whole reason Charizard wasn't Dragon type is it would be the most obvious choice for players to choose

I honestly don't understand how Mawile is steel at all. I would've just guessed Dark for it if I hadn't realized it was steel.

Also, Porygon (and it's evos) should definitely be Normal/Psychic. When I was young, I thought Porygon was psychic. I was confused when I discovered otherwise. It just strikes me as psychic type...

Drowzee/Hypno... I think they should be Dark/Psychic. Seems an odd duo-type... but they kind of have a "dark" story. (Eating dreams and what not.) And have always struck me as "Dark" as well as Psychic. (And hey, if Ground/Electric types exist... why not Psychic/Dark?)

The trouble with Charizard and Serperior being part Dragon is that they're starter Pokemon. Dragon is easily the most powerful type out there, and having a Starter Pokemon grow into a Dragon seems a little unfair.

The problem with Charizard being Fire/Dragon would be the lack of a Water weakness (though Ice would be super-effective on Fire/Dragon in Generation I.) Water/Dragon Gyarados would have NO weaknesses at all in Gen I. As for Grass/Dragon Serperior, it would double resist Water, Grass, and Electric but be double weak to Ice.

I personally think that Lugia should have Water type on him.
But I don't know how to mix it with his current type, whether he should become Water/Psychic or Water/Flying.

I always thought Darkrai was a ghost type.
I think it should be, even though it has Dark in the name.
I would give it Dark/Ghost, but that would just be cheap.

^this, although Cohagrigus is more ground than rock to me :/.
Also, Porygon/2/Z should be part Psychic
Sceptile also always struck me as a Dragon... idk why though.
My team that beat White:

Zekrom, Victini, Vanillish, Eagle, Samurai, and Excadrill
Unfortunately, for the time being, I cannot trade. My DS recently quit on me and I don't have the money to repair/replace it currently
I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature (however, I do build competitive movesets and do minimal EV training, just not ignore the Pokemon based on stats ;)).

We already have Sableye and Spiritomb for that. So Dark/Ghost is more than welcome lol

Sceptile also always struck me as a Dragon... idk why though.
Maybe the fact that it can learn Dragon Claw?

Also, would anyone agree to have Arceus be a ??? type? You know, since it's GOD and all

This. But I thought it was a Normal type. I found it odd why my Normal attacks weren't doing a lot against it. It doesn't look like a Steel type at all, lmao.

i think it would've been nice if the luxray family were also dark types, since they learn a lot of dark moves.

correct me if i'm wrong.
Luxray and its evolutionary relatives (Shinx and Luxio) are pure Electric-type.

They meant that they learn a lot of Dark type moves, which led to the "it should be part dark/electric"

I used to think that Spoink was an electric type, because it looks like a lightbulb.
I was also pretty surprised to see that Lucario was part steel, I though it'd be part psychic.
There used to be a link to an Imageshack picture here. Lmao.

Wait, Cascoon wasn't a Poison type all along? I was under the impression it was... :embarrass
Totally agree with Cohagrigus Ghost/Rock. But you forgot the most obvious one: Lucario as a Steel type. Makes more sense as a Psychic or Ghost type. (Anubis was the Egyptian god of the dead, after all.)
Although I could picture Cubone as being a Ghost type even more....

I think Gyarados was originally intended to be a Water/Dragon type, but GF realised that it would mean that they have no weaknesses at all for Gen I, which I think would've been quite cool. They allowed Water/Dragon with Kingdra.
