    I think Gothitelle should be Dark and Psychic, considering the tons of dark moves it can learn.
    Also, there are too many pure psychics, it's getting boring now.

    I feel that Solosis' line should be Psychic/Grass. I thought it was a grass pokemon at first. It's green and its coating looks like chlorophyll to me.

    Almost forgot; why did Game Freak permit this Rotom Forme of redundancy to continue?

    Double Typing?


    I mean, Flying-type and Levitate on one Pokemon? T_T Give it some useful ability! I like how Rotom's new Generation 5 type combinations knocked out the obscure dual typings of Electric/Fire, Electric/Ice, and Electric/Grass, though I still wish that the elements replaced the Electric-typing rather than the Ghost-typing...

    Golurk should have been Steel-type IMO; we already have "ancient" golems, and Golurk looks more like an Iron Giant/Megazord-like Pokemon, both of which have metal components. At times I wish that Regigigas had taken the Ground-type or Normal/Ground-type instead, so we could have our generic inclusive earth "Golem"...

    Also, I like Sawsbucks' Normal/Grass typing, but six weaknesses? My gosh... I really wish it had very formidable stats to compensate for those weaknesses, or at least some Rock and Psychic-type moves in its arsenal to combat said weaknesses... Changing its secondary type with its Forme would've helped it out a little, IMO...

    Jynx's abilities has always been useless...
    what...? Oblivious? It should be mero-mero-body!!
    She's the one that needs to attract people XD

    Golurk so looks like a robot more than a ghost to me!
    It should be steel!! and not ghost!!

    Discuss your thoughts about the double typing!

    I think that Chaoboo and Emboar shouldn't be fire/fighting. I think they should be plain Fire.

    Dewott and Samurott should be Water/fighting (seriously, Samurott is Samurai + Otter. No fighting type?)

    Servine and Serperior should be maybe Grass/dragon?

    Also i think Deerling and Sawsbuck should change types according to season:
    Summer - Fire
    Autumn: Grass
    Winter: Ice
    Spring: Normal

    What do you think?

    I was thinking that about Deerling and Sawsbuck just now when I was in the seasons thread.

    I think it could be a good idea but it may get annoying if every season you need to teach it a new STAB attack. Although an idea would be to have a fixed STAB attack that also changes with the seasons.

    Sigh...that's a great idea. Horn Leech/Wood Horn (Sawsbucks' signature move) could have been that move that changes type with the seasons, and we would have had unprecedented Fire-type (Summer), Ice-type (Winter), and Water-type (Spring) Draining/HP Restoration moves. :(

    sorry this is ten years late, but Samurott should be Water/Bug Type i don't know, it's look cool
    Emboar can keep it's typing as Fire/Fighting Type
    Serperior should be Grass/Dragon Type, since the Pokemon look like a Serpent
