4th Gen Lack of Fire Types!

thats another reason i have to dislike d/p/pl. i dont love ponyta, and i strongly dislike the chimchar line. if they aded growlithe or ninetales, or even slugma, id be happy.
 
I happen to really like Ponyta and Rapidash so I think I used them on one or two of my runs. I didn't notice the lack of fire types at first because I'm not really the biggest fan of that typing. But yeah now that you point it out, there is a serious lack of Fires here :/

My favorite type was fire, so I was kinda disappointed.

Fire is one of my favourite types, and I really had a bore while playing Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. I dislike the Ponyta line, and I also dislike the Chimchar line.
 
I didn't play D or P, but I didn't mind the relative lack of them in Pt though I definitely was pleasantly surprised to find Houndour line in there, and I like Ponyta and Infernap. I do like the fire type, but I just saw it as an opportunity to use other types
 
Yeah, Infernape, Magmortar and Heatran were the only Fire types introduced in Gen IV. It makes sense for Fire to be a scarce type, but seriously, only 3 new ones (one of which is a legendary, an awful looking one at that)? That's far too little.

I still stand by my opinion that Game Freak dropped the ball a bit with the Gen IV Pokemon. They redeemed themselves with Gen V. Just my take on it though.
 
I wasn't that disappointed. I was never too big on fire types, but I noticed this phenomenon. This is probably where DP fails.
 
It was never much of a problem for me. I've never been a huge fan of fire types and I've always liked both Rapidash and Ponyta. I do understand the value of fire types however, and I'm glad that they added plenty more fire types in Platinum, along with all of the other Pokemon that they added evolutions to but never added to the pre-Elite 4 game.

Generally it was a problem, but Platinum fixed it.
