5th Gen Game Freak needs to make Fire types!

Don't complain about so many water types guys; about 71% of the Earth's surface is water. Naturally, it would make sense that water types are common and abundant since the pokemon world is based on our world.

Although I have to agree that fire types need to be expanded. I despised ponyta because that was my only other option aside from Chimchar.

There really should be more fire types, but what do they have to draw from, other then the obvious fire/dragon?

Well, maybe instead of constantly making pokemon based on animals or mythology, maybe they could ACTUALLY MAKE A POKEMON AND NOT AN ANIMAL!?!?!?!!!!

:/
 
i would like to see less zubat's, tentacool's and useless starting pokemon like pidgey rip offs and such, need more bidoofs though, best hm slave ever.
 
There may be 6 types that have fewer Pokemon than Fire-type, but consider that 12 of the 33 Fire-types are starter Pokemon, and 4 are Legendary. That means 16 one-per-game Fire-types, leaving a grand total of 17 that you can actually catch in the wild or own more than once each without breeding.

This is the list of those 17 Pokemon:

Growlithe, Arcanine, Ponyta, Rapidash, Slugma, Magcargo, Numel, Camerupt, Magby, Magmar, Magmortar, Houndour, Houndoom, Flareon, Vulpix, Ninetales, Torkoal.

That's a total of 9 evolutionary lines of Fire-type Pokemon, including dual-types. So basically, 9 different kinds of Fire Pokemon that can be owned more than once. I'm pretty sure that counts as neglected!
 
YES!!!!! we need more fire types!
im a fire type trainer, but theres no good fire types except beginners (minus chimchar)
magby-magmar was great, but magmortar is just hideous.
houndoom, is pathetic
i hate horses
torkoal was excellent, except for his lack of speed :(
we need better fire types, and no more fire/fighting thats the most lame combo ever, it adds more weaknesses then it gets rid of.

Do you mind explaining what you want them to make a Pokemon off of? XD

Every single Pokemon has a base idea; most have origins of mythology or animals. Ergo, your statement is clearly ignorant.
 
I don't think they're neglected, but as much as natural fire doesn't appear often in nature. I was surprised Sinnoh didn't have more fire-types, seeing as it had a volcano. Hopefully Isshu will offer more Flam3r5 to choose from. XD
 
I loves me some fire. I want to be able to do a fire mono type run in White/Black. All unique fires, unique to the region. Six new families!
 
Be careful what you wish for.

Here's a scenario: Gen V is overrun with fire types. There are Fire/Poison types and Fire/Dragon types and every other combination everyone wants. They're everywhere. At the same time there is a shortage of Water types. Everyone starts wishing they had picked Mijumaru.

Some types are rare, some types are not. Dragon, Ghost, and Ice happen to be rarer along with Fire, and things like Water and Grass are more common. Pokémon just plays out that way. n_n

Dude what are you talking about? Fire types are epic, thus they need to make more. Hopefully they add some interesting type-combos in Gen V. Fire/Ice. Yey.

I like this. That's exactly what I was thinking while reading this topic. Of course there are more water-types because water's more abundant in the world, and there are more species to base Pokemon on. Like all those various kinds of fish and mythological creatures.

That said, Fire has always been my favorite type, and I would like more choices when it comes to decided which Fire-type I'll raise for my team. Creativity would be needed to think of something new. For example, the Fire/Ghost could maybe be a whisp of smoke or something like that.
 
i would like to see a fire /bug type of fire flying type pokemon.

Oh god yes. Fire Pokemon are so amazing !
We need moar ! RAAWRGH [/mental spasm]
 
We do need more. While other types are rarer, most Fire-types aren't all that useful, and there aren't that many to begin with. With multitypes, the only non-starter, non-legendarys are Magcargo, Numel/Camerupt and Houndour/Houndoom. Continuing on, only one non-starter family has three stages (Magby/Magmar/Magmortar). The rest of pure-Fires were available since Kanto, other than Torkoal.

Yeah, Fire-type is pretty neglected, if you ask me.
