5th Gen Double Typing?

If still confused as to why Flouderp hasn't got the water as its second typing... js :/ It is a land fish... How does it move around without swimming?
 
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?

[PokeCommunity.com] 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
