5th Gen Dual-Type Attacks???

Ive always thought this would be cool, attacks like eruption, which throw rocks the foe should be rock attacks. Its a good idea, but then you have to worry about backwards compatability and stuff. Logisticly, it wouldnt work, but i think its a good idea aside from that.

And to fix the problem of x16 effectiveness, just make the attack add to the current effectiveness. If you have a x4 primary weakness, and you were weak to the second type also, then it would only be a x6 weakness now. Its still powerful, but i think that would be so rare it would balance out.

Backwards compatibility is far from a problem, if this idea were to happen.

If you make a move dual-type, it would only be dual-type in BW, as only the move data in BW has it as dual-type. If you transferred it back to DPPt, it'd use the DPPt move data. Just like when Hypnosis' accuracy was changed in Platinum; it'd be 60 in Plat and 70 in DP.

If it's a new move that's dual-type...well, that's the same problem as any other new move - you just don't let it get moved back. :D
