5th Gen Dual-Type Attacks???

[LethalTexture]

For crying out loud, it's not gonna happen people. I know the website says "a whole new adventure" but there are not gonna be massive gameplay changes like this!

He does gotta point
and it sure would be awesome if there were dual-type moves!!

 

[infernape85]

Hhhmmm maybe...

Yeah, but it might be a bit confusing... I played pokemon red as a kid and when gold came out and magnemite was canged to elec steel... it was confusing... so dual type moves would be even more confusing...

thank you mate ^_^

and for you whos freakin out

WATCH POKESUNDAY!

they stated:
new adventure
massive changes in game play
and things will be far different from previous generations

which makes this HIGHLY possible, especially if it the ying-yang theory everyone thinks it is
take the time to look at the ying-yang
theres a lil of the opposite in both.
if that doesnt scream dualoty then i dont think anythin would.

That would mean EPIC OWNAGE OVER GEODUDE! Let's see, a Water/Grass typ move would be 4x 4x effective, so 16x effective, STAB for both types would add up to 36x effectiveness. Then add a critical hit and WITHOUT ANY STAT BOOSTS, you get 72x effectiveness. That's gotta hurt.

lmao XD mate you way over think that lol, but that would own geodude, even more so if its a special attack,since geodudes special defenses make even a x.25 attack like flamethrower own it lol

x8? That's... rare. It's hard enough to find an x4. x16? Is that even possible? I don't think so...

It could be an interesting touch, though the moves would probably be better with weak power (60 max).

Where's the precedent for that? There will, with little doubt, be gameplay changes; especially in how battles work. Sure, probably not this, but it doesn't mean there won't be one.

Edit: Oh, Grass/Water against Ground/Rock is x16; oh, well, they could just avoid Grass/Water.

such as steels overly resistance to everythin, dark/ghost types bein invulnerable

Uh, what. Steel types still resist as much as they did (dual moves aren't going to be THAT effective) and Dark-ghost types being invulnerable...they still will be. Care to enlighten us as to a dual-type of move that'll be super effective? Considering each type is only 1x effective, putting two together...still only gets 1x.

 

[Slubicku]

Maybe they just say that x16 is max
then u can't go higher

still: those dual-type moves would be really awesome

6 gen legendaries

ok... we've done light and dark, god, space and time, emotions, all the natrual elements, different dimensions, nightmares, and the moon. any ideas for the next gen?

1 hour later...

...SHHHHIT.........

 

[Slubicku]

maybe from life and dead or nature and air

fire/ground attack = steel ownage

theres i think 3 fire/ground types, and 1fire/rock
which would fit the combo perfectly ^_^

not to mention dual type pokemon could get stab from a dual type moves on both types, givin you room for a 4th alternate type move, so your pokemon is even more diverse XD

 

[~Gary~]

Cool! lol

that would be a nice idea but it would not be fair
e.g venusaur learns a grass and water move with high attack rate it can easily faint charizard or get the hp to red.....

 

[Volroc]

venasaur can only learn it by tutor :P
problem solved lol

 

[Myles]

Wouldn't that be not very effective?

 

[Slubicku]

just normal effective cuz water is super eff and grass is not eff
problem solved :p

 

[Myles]

No, but Grass is doubly-not very effecdtive.

 

[Mew~]

I've always thought about dual type attacks but to be honest they would be way to powerful... take gyarados, it takes x4 off a electric attack so think of what it would be like for an ice/electric move.. like Aurora Beam or somthing..

 

[Darkest Shade of Light]

Cool! lol

that would be a nice idea but it would not be fair
e.g venusaur learns a grass and water move with high attack rate it can easily faint charizard or get the hp to red.....

Wouldn't this get 50% damage
Water x fire = 200%
Grass x Fire = 50%
Grass x Flying = 50%
Water x Flying = 100%
200% x 50% x 50% x 100% = 50%

 

[SmashBro]

Interesting concept, but do we really need another change the pokemon metagame? But then again it would cool
