I am currently planning for a hack, So far the plot is that you start off as a 16 year old who has just been arrested for stealing a pokemon and you are in a police van with two grunts, one from team cyanide and the other from team brutal. You have amnesia due to head trauma caused by a growlithes takedown attack. The grunts talk to you for awhile and then the van crashes. You and the grunts exit the vehicle and then then both offer you a chance to join their team. You may join either team or neither.
The starter pokemon are:
Zubat(flying) offered by team cyanide
Machop(fighting) offered by team brutal
and Spheal (ice) the pokemon you obtain if you refuse to join either team.
(I may change some things about the storyline)
Features include:
New Region (the kaibu region) made up of 3 islands.
Option of joining an evil team and fighting the other or joining neither and fighting both.
New starters (as seen above)
New Rivals (One being a police officer)
Choice of either doing contests or gyms (or both in whatever order you choose)
Missions from the evil teams
All pokemon obtainable
Elite 4 using different types to the elites in real games.
Now onto the main thing I wanted to talk about (and the reason for this threads name).I want to make some changes to the typing aswell as add "sound type" to the game. I am attempting to balance things a bit (grass and poison types are too weak at the moment for example).
Here are some of my ideas:
Make steel weak to electric (water is weak to it because water conducts electricity, but so does metal so why are steel types not weak to electricity?)
Make water weak to poison (I saw someone else suggest this, the explanation is that water is easily polluted)
Make Dark weak to grass (this is manly because SOMETHING needs to be weak to grass to balance the game and i thought it might work with dark due to evil things generally hating flowers and moves like solarbeam would be SE to dark types)
Make Dragon weak to Steel (in almost every legend about dragons they are always slain by a knight and his STEEL sword)
Make Ghost resistant to rock (its a ghost, I dont see why rocks would do much damage)
And finally my suggestion for sound type:
2x Weakness
Poison (poisonous gas can pollute the air and prevent sound waves from doing much damage)
Grass (cant think of an explanation...just needs balance)
Resistance:
Water
Flying
Ground
Rock
I cannot remember the explanations for these but i guess none of these types would do much to sound waves.
Immunitys:
Sound (because the sound waves would block each other out and loudred and voltorb (and their families) are pokemon I would make sound type and they already have the ability soundproof
Super Effective:
Electric (electrical equipment could be easily broken by sound based attacks)
Steel (It could do with some more weaknesses I guess.)
Ghost (suggested by someone else, cant remember the explanation for it)
Not very effective:
Grass (can you do much damage to flowers using sound?)
No Damage
Ice (sound doesnt travel through ice very well)
Sound (see immunities)
Please tell me whether you think these ideas are good or bad or just plain stupid, I am open to criticism but try to explain reasons why or i may just ignore the comment. I would like to hear type balance suggestions aswell as suggestions for sound type.
