    Yeah, I agree. Just two types of Fire pokes, the Ponyta chain and the Chimchar chain. And what comes out once you get the National Dex? Houndoom and Torkoal by Poke-Radar. Magby by attaching LeafGreen. Almost no Fire-types here. Probably they thought they had made Fire-types too common in Hoenn, they made them rare in Sinnoh. Oh well.

    Yeah I was just thinking yesterday I literally have just 1 fire Pokemon in Ponyta since I got the game a few days ago. I chose Piplup so Pontya is the only fire Pokemon I own. Think I need to pick some up on GTS!

    Overpowered.

    Big big reason you don't see many fire poke anymore, is because in Kanto region they made them too abundant, and overpowered them with mega attacks like fireblast. They could beat even water types with it. So they let it slowup.

    I've thought of why there are not much wild fire Pokémon and it is simple in R/B/Y and G/S/C there are a lot of places where you would expect them to hang out and then in FR/LG the same and onto R/S/E there is also alot of hot places to go to but have you noticed there are not many hot places in D/P because it is mainly foggy, rainy and snowy where fire Pokémon won't seem to fit to live so the only ones that appear in the wild are the Ponyta Chain because in real life horses can live anywhere, also everyone forgot about one fire type and that is Flareon because you can catch Eevee in Backlot's Garden!

    I don't really mind the lack of Fire-types; that's one less in-game type to threaten my dear Snorunt and Seedot [after I finish my Snorunt project].

    Snorunt project? Why would you mention it if your not gonna share with the class? lol

    Fire is too one sided imo, hence why there are more water types, ANY fire type is godly. So they need to weaken it via water type. Specially since Japan is surrounded by water, they notice fish and such easier. Thusly comes to mind faster when making new poke.

    Yeah, only a couple of Fire-element Pokemon are actually usable in competition anyways. I have other Pokemon covering that element.

    Even so, Sinnoh is based off of an island from japan, thats rotated, so yeah you would think there would be more water pokemon and other types.

    Snorunt project = breeding 100,000 Snorunt while only keeping the Shining or good IV'd, right Nature'd and female ones. So far, out of 125 Snorunt, I have two Modest ones and neither are female.

    Go to that one place above route 31 ( I think it's 31...) in GSC, you can find Geodude, Phanpy(morning) and JigglyPuff there...

    As far as fire types go... THERE ARE TOO MANY FREAKING WATER TYPES... that's the dominant Pokemon Type... IIRC there are over 200 of them, so that's about half... I know it's not pure water types, but majoirty of Pokemon have a type Water/something.
