ONE FIFTH of the ENTIRE pokedex is WATER???

[A Furret]

after playing through the Hoenn games, i feel a need to buy a life sized tentacool statue and burn it.

 

[GlitchCity]

It depends on which water type were talking about xD

YES. PLEASE DO. DX

I HATE putting up with tentacools. They could at LEAST put a few other surf pokemon on the water tiles besides wingull and tentacool. -_-;;

 

[txteclipse]

And yet there's no dolphin. I mean come on!

 

[Enigma]

Oh my god. I knew that there was a lot, but one fifth? O.o

 

[Timbjerr]

well of course it makes perfect senese.u do know that there are a lot of water creatures in earth so that much water pokemons are fairly normal

Allow me to turn your logic around. The vast majority of animal species on earth are insects, arachnids, and crustacians...all of them perfect candidates for being caracatured into bug-type pokemon, but the bug-type is only the fourth or fifth most numerous pokemon type.

Hell, there are more species of plants than there are species of fish, yet grass-type pokemon are being surpassed by water-type pokemon in every generation.

Kyogre is an Orca or a Killer Whale (which is a dolphin), does that count?

Um. I think Lanturn counts. lol.

I order my boxes by type and my water box is always full i have to chuck them in other boxes. 92/493 is just way too many but most are useless 12 are starters, 5 are legends and the rest are every other water creature there is

 

[Converge]

I would personally like to see more Dragon, Ghost, and Dark types

we need moar steel and more unique typings, but less "invincible" pokemon. we have enough dark as it is i think, moar ice types too, but not ice/water. like an ice/electic would be cool or an ice/rock

 

[Opposite Day]

Ice/Rock is a big NO screaming at you D:
It'll have a 4x weak to Fighting and Steel, a 2x weak to Water, Ground, and Grass, and only resist Normal, Flying, Ice, and Poison, ffs. They don't really grant that good coverage together either, with Rock's real few benefits over Ice being the ability to hit the Fire and Ice-types SE, and Water-types for normal damage. I mean, would you like to create a thingy that screams "Scizor bait!!!!" ?

As for the topic, I'm proud to say that my favourite poke actually removes some of the water from the game by evolving - go go Masquerain! (:

 

[The Bringer!]

I don't care about fire types, I want more ice types =/
But yeah, I see your point. Gamefreak definantly went overboard with all dem fishies.

EDIT:
@ above post -----> Masquerain ftw! =D

 

[Corrision]

More steel? Steels are the best!

And Ice.

 

[.Gamer]

i dont think more ghosts and dragons are necessary, they are cool because they are rare, kind of like psychics used to be. and as for the Ice/Rock i was just thinking about how cool the designs could be, like a rare one of a kind crystal onyx. or something BA like that.

 

[Soul Silver]

92 water pokemon and and I only run into bloody tentacools and wingulls when surfing!

I think Hoenn has a lot to answer for here lol

I think the issue is the need for quality over quantity and some interesting typing. This goes for all types not just water. As for types I'ld like to see I think some type of Dark/Dragon has potential to look pretty nasty.

But that being said I don't feel like there are too few dragons as I like the fact that they are rare. But I do believe that when Gen V rolls around that you should have multiple options which are viable for each basic type as I made the selection of Piplup when starting pearl only to find the only fire Pokemon in the game was a blood ponyta. New and more interesting fire types are needed as there are only so many times I can play through with an Arcanine.

Some new Ghosts and maybe some Psychic as well.

 

[batmon]

They need more fire pokemon IMO.

 

[*Minun*]

There are lots of water places in the games, so they need lots of water pokemon. It's like complaining that there are too many golbats/zubats. There is, but there is actually a good reason.

 

[Tré]

water pokemon is refreshing... if you have a pelliper that knows surf and fly..now that's kinda fun...xD but i prefer dark type...muahaha!!

 

[Enilias]

Water is not only abundant, but also extremly broken. Water Attacks do at least normal damage against 15 types and only plant and dragon resist it - both weak to ice which almost every water type is capable of learning.
