There are numerous traditions in Pokémon games with one of them being a regional electric Rodent or 'Pikaclone'.
Name: Fieldon
Type - Electric/Grass
Appearance - An adorable pale yellow squirrel like Pokemon of a similar size to Emolga. It will have a green pattern on its back and tail of the same consistency and color of fresh Grass.
Shiny Form - White with a darker green pattern.
When obtainable - Early Game.
Stats - Above average special attack with excellent speed but poor defences.
Ability - Static, Lightning Rod or Overgrow (Hidden)
Anything else - Similar to Pikachu, it will be able to use the Light Ball.
Similar to other Electric Rodents Fieldon may not be a competitively viable Pokémon but will be an adorably cute addition I feel if we were to ever get an Electric/Grass Type Electric Rodent.

NEW TOPIC:
What is your favorite grass-type combination? (i.e. grass and water)
Mine is grass and ghost because they're my two favorite types. I really don't have a better explanation than that, other than the fact that being partially ghost type benefits grass in some ways. It's mostly because they're my favorite types >.< don't judge lol.
Can't wait to see your thoughts on this, I'll get back with you soon.

[color]Favourite Dual Type[/color]
In my Monotypes two Grass/Poison Pokémon Vileplume and Roserade keep making it in my teams. Poison type Pokemon are by and large Pokémon I Don't use with the only Poison types I ever tend to use being Grass/Poison Types like the aforementioned two and of course Venusaur.
The Poison typing makes it so they are Immune to being poisoned and gives them access to STAB Sludge Bomb, a very useful move particularly with the introduction of Fairy Types in Gen 6. 100% accuracy Toxic is also very welcome.
Whilst gaining a weakness to Psychic moves is not ideal Grass/Poison Types gain resistance to Fairy Type Moves as well as losing their Poison and Bug Type weakness.
Grass/Poison was a very popular type combination in Gen 1 with three lines having it (Bulbasaur line, Oddish/Gloom/Vileplume, Bellsprout line) with my favourite of the three being the Oddish Line especially the very useful Vileplume closely followed by the dependable Bulbasaur line.
Hi everyone. I'm looking to join in on the fun here.
Nickname: Kyle, Rain Partner: let's go with Sunkern Reason: I'd like to participate more in some clubs here, and grass seemed like a great place to start seeing as it's my favorite type. Answer to topic: I think my favorite grass-type combination would have to be grass/flying. I get the impression when looking at grass-type designs that a lot of them look really light and could easily float on the wind, since many of them are literally just made of leaves.
Also @the above post. Grass/ghost is also quite cool because that combo is really cool in a haunted forest sort of way. I definitely loved the grass/ghost types introduced in Gen VI. I'd put that as my second favorite combination.
Welcome to the Club! :)
Whilst Sunkern is one of the few Grass Types I have not used extensively it does have a potentially interesting ability in Solar Power. I think it is also one of the few Grass Types to have access to Earth Power.
Grass/Flying is a fun typing and Jumpluff with its high speed and STAB Aerobatics can be dangerous if not prepared for. It is an adorable Pokemon too and I am fortunate enough to own a Shiny Pink one. Tropius is a Pokémon with potential but I feel it needs an Evolution to shine.
Nickname: Benermerut Partner: Budew Reason: Grass-type is my favourite. I always choose the Grass starter, in Alpha Sapphire I did a Grass only run, and I named my secret base team Team Flora. Also, I like coming up with moves and abilities etc, and since I'm obsessed they're usually Grass related and the topics here are often about that kind of thing. Answer to topic: My favourite Grass-type combination... Grass/Bug. Bug is another cool type, and a lot of real world bugs hide by looking like plants, so it's a natural combination. Plus, the three current Grass/Bug lines are all very distinct from each other design-wise.
Not the best competitive typing, but I don't care so much about that side of things.
Welcome to the Club! :)
The Budew line is one of my favourite Grass/Type lines and Roserade was incredibly useful in my Grass Monotypes especially the move Weather Ball which gave her a move with three potential types (Ice, Water, Fire) depending on the weather. Roserade is also a very stylish Pokémon and whilst I always use a female one the masked dancer could fit a male too. Think something along the lines of Vega from Street Fighter.
Hoenn is the only region that I have not completed a Grass Monotype of yet but when I do I will have an excellent choice of Pokemon such as the Treecko line, Oddish Line, Ludicolo line and aforementioned Roserade line.
Grass/Bug is a typing that makes sense and in-game I have found Parasect and Leavanny to be good in-game Pokémon. Parasect gets access to the welcome move Spore whilst Leavanny can be obtained very early as it is a friendship evolution and has access to likes of X-Scissor and Swords Dance.
In my Unova (White) Monotype Leavanny was very useful with its Bug Type STAB especially in the early game and was one or the main members of my team until around the seventh Badge where it fell behind Lilligant and Sawsbuck.
Whilst the double 4X weakness (Fire/Flying) is far from ideal Grass/Bug can be a useful typing in the right circumstances.
Oh hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been here for a while, I've been really busy this past week. To get a conversation started up again, I thought I'd start a new topic.
NEW TOPIC:
Which grass-type is better, Serperior or Sceptile?
This is a pretty specific one, but I was curious to see what you guys think. I personally like Sceptile better because it's always been my favorite grass-type. From a statistical standpoint, Sceptile's attack and special attack stats are higher than Serperior's. Serperior does have higher defense, special defense, and speed, however. Another reason I like Sceptile better is because it has a Mega Evolution, unlike Serperior. In this form, its speed stat does rise above Serperior's and it gains dragon typing as well, which makes Mega Sceptile the only grass/dragon-type.
Can't wait to see what you think, I'll talk to you later.

I'll give you one guess to figure out what pokemon I think is better.
As Serperior is Snivy's evo, it keeps with that Snivy design of awesomeness, plus making it look graceful and majestic. I'm exited to see what they can come up with for its mega. We can only hope that it'll be as awesome as Sceptile's.
Sceptile was my first pokemon, so it gets nostalgia points, but it's not quite awesome enough to get the top position.
Check out The Ultimate Hybrid, a game where you merge pokemon for hilarious results!

I literally said to myself "Well I know what Solar's gonna say" as I was typing this up. ^.^ I picked Snivy as my starter in White, so I definitely like it too. However, as I stated before, I think Sceptile wins in terms of its stats. I would love to see a Mega Serperior in Sun/Moon, I might change my opinion on this if its cool enough.
Well, I'm glad to hear your opinion, even though I kinda knew what you were going to say lol. I'll talk to you soon, thanks for participating!
Serperior or Sceptile? ouch. both are my favorite grass type starters.
I'll go with Serperior,mostly because I loved it right away. I love Sceptile but I only like it since last year. When I first played third gen, I didn't really liked Treecko.
I miiiiight be back?
And why am I not a supporter anymore >.<
Answer to topic - Sceptile or Serperior. Which do you prefer?
Sceptile is my favourite Grass Starter and is used in every playthrough where it is able. It is the fastest Grass Type and can be used as both a Physical or Special Attacker. He also gets a part Dragon Mega and has the best Grass Shiny Colour Scheme in the game. As well as appearing on every Hoenn playthrough and was a key player in my Grass Tournament winning PWT team. :)
Serperior has a solid design and a good Hidden Ability in Contrary. However it has never really served me well in games. In my recent White Monotype he fell behind Lilligant and Sawsbuck in the pecking order fast and by the Elite Four was just a body. Whilst not necessarily important his Shiny Form is underwhelming and for me is worse than his normal colouration.
I'll keep the Sceptile/Serperior topic open as a sub topic but I think it is time for a new topic. It's a topic we had when I first took over but with so many new members I feel it is worth revisiting.
New Topic
Create a new Trainer class for the Grass Type.
What would they look like? What gender would they be? What Pokémon would they use?
Okay, well I'd make a witch-doctor/herbologist trainer class. Naturally, the trainer would be dressed as a witch-doctor and would most likely be found in caves or ruins. I've always wanted a trainer like this, maybe even a gym leader with these characteristics. I would also give them two general personalities; cocky or sage.
I'm actually really excited to see what other people can think up, because I honestly couldn't think of much for this. Anyways, thanks for putting up this new topic, it was really creative and interesting to me. See you around.
I'd say maybe some kind of druid. That'd be pretty interesting I think, and something that hasn't really been in the games so far. Old people with flowing green robes and lots of pokémon like Carnivine and Tangrowth. Maybe they could be found deep in forests in overgrown areas or something.
I like this idea, actually. Might have to implement it into my fangame.

Hey, I really like the idea of having a druid. It kinda goes hand in hand with my witchdoctor idea, in a sense that we could have more mystical, magical trainer classes. Thanks for adding on to my little idea, whether intentional or not.
Hey guys! Can I ask you what you think about Rowlet?
Spoiler:
I LOVE IT! I don't even wanna see his evolution, I love it the way it is!
I kinda have the vibe of a future Ash's Pokemon.
Are you TeamRowlet?
And what do you think about a new grass type move that the Pokemon can learn at the begging o the game (so a weak attack) ?
It is an adorable starter Pokemon that seems to be based on a baby owl. I think it will either become a Grass/Flying type considering it is based on an owl or Grass/Fairy as it is an little seen typing, currently only the Cottonee line have that typing. Also the Fire starter looks like it might be Fire/Dark by the end so it might be there to counter it.
It has a cute design and the leafs design on him fit into its typing. I wonder what it's evolutions will look like.
Create a Grass Type Trainer Class
I could see a Flower Girl class working very well. The class would look similar to Aroma Ladys but would have longer hair and carry flowers. Similar to Furisode Girls they would come in different palette swaps so you could have blonde flower girls, brunette flower girls and so on.
They would use Pokemon based on flowers like Lilligant and Vileplume. With there being different designs of Flower Girls they could tie into the Grass Gym Leader of the region or even be the 'Amazon Brigade' of the region's villainous team.
Hey guys! Can I ask you what you think about Rowlet?
I knew even before they were revealed that I was going to pick the Grass starter, but I'm super pleased with how Rowlet looks! I think it's the best looking of the new starters and even if I didn't have my Grass bias I would have chosen him.
I'm going to try to avoid spoiling his evolutions for myself so that they can be a surprise in-game, but I don't know if I'll be able to resist!
Create a new Trainer class for the Grass Type. Romantic Couple
A nicely dressed couple out for a romantic evening. They're carrying bouquets that they gifted to each other.
They would do double battles, and use flowery pokemon. Expect a lot of Roselia and Roserade.
Maybe they could also be found alone as Romantic Boy or Romantic Girl, where they'd challenge the player as their way of asking them out on a date >.>

Rowlet is already a Grass/Flying confirmed, so IMO it's gonna stay like this. But I really like the grass fairy idea!
I miiiiight be back?
And why am I not a supporter anymore >.<
To be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Rowlet yet. Until I see a final evolution, I'm not sure I'd be willing to pick him. It is cool that he's grass/flying in the first stage and I'm usually willing to go for most grass-type starters anyways. On a different note, I will say that the legendary from Moon looks incredible! Can't wait for it!
Any thoughts on Rowlet's name origins/meaning? I mean, the owl/owlet part is pretty obvious, but how (if at all) does it tie in to the Grass type?
And another Grass specialist trainer class: Mycologist
(or Mushroom Picker or Mushroomer or Mushroom Hunter or... you get the idea)
Men and women dressed for hiking: Boots, thick socks, cargo shorts/pants, plaid shirt, walking stick, maybe a vest with pockets. The male versions could be scruffy-looking with a stubbly beard, and the female version would have her hair in a simple ponytail.
They would specialize in (you guessed it) mushroom Pokemon. Paras, Parasect, Shroomish, Breloom, Foongus, and Amoonguss. Plus any new fun guys(hoohoohoo) that might get added.
I'm just really chapped that we finally got a Gardener class in XY, and they all ended up using Corphish. So I'd also like to change Gardeners into specialists that use any and all Grass type Pokemon.

From time to time during my playthroughs, I'll pick Cyndaquil, Mudkip, or Tepig. Every other time I go with the Grass-type starters because they are clearly superior.
- Answer to the current topic:
Greenthumb - farmer's market vendors who sell items including rare berries, Grass-type-boosting items like Big Root or Miracle Seed, herbal remedies, and if challenged, they use any pure Grass-type Pokémon, but focus on inflicting status conditions, and boosting their own stats. A Grass-type specialized Ace Trainer, if you will.

I read that there is speculation due to reading the game's code, that Rowlet may lose his Flying type upon evolution, and gain a secondary Ground-type. I personally hope that's not the case, but given the possibility, the "R" may come from "root".

So Greenthumbs wouldn't use any dual-types? That's pretty nifty. I don't know of any other type-specialists that explicitly do that, so it's a nice unique trait.
As for Rowlet's name, I've also heard that the "R" might just come from "round", since he is after all a round owlet.
I'm with you on hoping Rowlet stays Grass/Flying though. But I've decided to look on the bright side no matter the outcome. Either we get a cool Grass/Flying final evolution, or the Rowlet line becomes the first starter line to change type partway through, thereby making the Grass type more unique.
Hey there, I'm back! I hope you don't mind if I start a new topic.
New Topic: Create a grass-type elite four/champion/gym leader. What's their name, what do they look like, and what's their personality?
I would create a girl league champion named Terra. She has short green hair with a flower braided into it and she wears a green and black skirt with a matching green shirt. She's a quiet person off the battlefield, but when she's battling people she's super passionate. Her main partner is a Sceptile (naturally :) ).
New Topic: Create a grass-type elite four/champion/gym leader. What's their name, what do they look like, and what's their personality?
I'd create a champion named Rosa whose main party member would be Shaymin. Her team would consist of the following:
She'd have long, curly, light brunette hair, and be relatively young compared to the rest of the Elite Four. As for clothes, probably a white sundress with flower patterns, or -to go in a completely opposite direction- a green flannel shirt, sandals and jeans.

Welcome to the Club. :)
In the Kanto Games in Erika's Gym there was an Ace Trainer (Mary) who specialised in Grass Types. She was also likely the first Ace Trainer the player faced. I like your Greenthumb idea. I can see them inflicting lots of paralysis and using Quiver Dance to boost the stats of one particular Pokemon.
Create a Grass Elite Four Type Member
Name: Marie
Appearance - In fitting with the soft image of her party she would have brown hair in a bob with a Flower and wear a long green dress and white glasses. Basically an Elite Aroma Lady.
Personality - Calm and Serene. She reveals she became a Pokémon trainer and specialises in Grass Types as her husband works away a lot and she likes the Calming nature of Grass Types.
Elite Four Room - A serene room with a beautiful flower display with Pokémon such as Lilligant helping out to keep tidy.
Any story significance? - Aroma Ladys in the region will mention how they wish to be like Marie and Gardeners (Who will be younger than their Kalos designs and use exclusively Grass Types) will speak of sending fan mail to one of the Elite Four.
Anything else - Before battling she takes off her glasses.
Pokemon Team - Vileplume, Ludicolo, Breloom, Lilligant, Sawsbuck, Mega Meganium.
Is Leafeon your favorite Eeveelution? Why or why not?
Personally I have to say I'm not too fond of her. Glaceon had a much nicer design in my opinion, and my favorite of all time simply has to be Jolteon (even though the one I use the most in game is probably Flareon due to the scarcity of Fire-types in pretty much every game).
Is Leafeon your favorite Eeveelution? Why or why not?
When Leafeon was first introduced, I found its design kind of plain, but it has grown on me a lot since then.
As for whether it's my favourite or not... Tough to say. Since I'm not into the competitive scene, I neither know nor care about stats and all that, so all I can judge by is design and typing.
I'd definitely rank Leafeon in my top three Eeveelutions, alongside Flareon and Umbreon.
Flareon gets a lot of points for it floof factor. Floofiness is delightful.
Umbreon is very sleek and has glow-in-the-dark rings, and I'm a sucker for glowy.
And Leafeon of course gets points for being Grass type. And as I said, its design grew on me. I like the disheveled, semi-wild look it has going on.
Which maybe doesn't solidly answer the question, but there we have it.
My favourite Eeveelution is not Leafeon although I do like its design. It is one of those Pokémon which I rarely use as it's place is normally taken by another Grass Type such as Sceptile, Roserade or Lilligant on a usual playthrough.
Indeed in my Grass Monotypes it has never kept a place as my team has been made up of Pokemon which I find easier to use (Such as Lilligant) or bring something to the table that Leafeon does not (Such as the Fighting Moves of Breloom). Another reason is the sometimes difficulty in finding the Moss Rock. (In XY it is very late game and post game in B2W2.)
That's not to say I dislike Leafeon. It has an attractive design which matches it's type well and can fit either Gender. It's Shiny form however is underwhelming.
Incidentally my favourite Eeveelution is Sylveon with Leafeon coming in 4th after the Mermaid like Vaporeon and cat like Espeon.
