Remove a Type

[Palamon]

If you could remove a Pokemon type or two, which ones would you remove, and why?

I'd, tbh, combine the Rock & Ground types into one solid "Earth" type, since, honestly? Apart from some different weaknesses and strengths to one another, Rock and Ground are way too similar. Grass can stay separate, though.

I guess Normal Type removing the type doesn't mean removing the pokemon so yeah.

Purely out of bias I'd remove Fighting. I don't like the designs for a lot of primary/mono Fighting types and really don't like how strong a typing it is.

I never really saw a purpose in the Ground types and what differentiated it from Rock. Don't get me wrong, there are tons of really cool Ground types out there, but if Game Freak all of a sudden flipped a switch, obliterated the type itself and combined it with Rock to form a new type altogether but with roughly the same weaknesses/strengths, I don't think many people are going to bat an eye.

None. I think all types are beneficial.

normal can go. tbh i think they just use that type to fit in all the boring Pokemon they cant think of a proper type for. Flying mons could be pure flying.

 

[WizardOfOdd]

Rock and Ground can be mixed together i think, either that or normal type can go

I guess Fairy since its the newest one and I'm not to crazy about it. Removing the type hopefully doesn't mean removing the Pokemon since even though I'm not to fond of most fairy types I do like some of them a lot (Clefary line, Marill line, Togekiss, Florges, Tapu Koko/Bulu and Alolan Ninetales).

My opinion is also the same as some people who have already replied: Rock and Ground are very similiar and I wouldn't mind a mix of both to become a new type. The rest of them can stay as they are :)

 

[Sydian]

rock and ground are redundant and could just be merged into one honestly

I think there is no sense to have Fighting as a type. I think Normal and Fighting Types can be merged together. Other than this, I don't understand Fairy, Dragon And Bug Types - They signify what kind of beast the Pokemon is instead of what element or power it represents. I think Fairy should be replaced with 'Holy' to contradict with Dark Type.

Fairy, it was shoehorned in far too late, a lot of Pokemon that should be Fairy types aren't and a lot that should not be Fairy types are for some reason, and honestly they've never really done much with it that was worthwhile. It seems like it was introduced solely to quell the whining in the competitive scene about Dragons being overpowered, and it isn't really beneficial to the games to have a Fairy type beyond that.

idk if I'd outright remove any but using a lot of the ground types would be much nicer if I didn't have to worry about their several quad weaknesses....so combine rock and ground into one, lol

I think rock should be removed it's pretty stupid and just like ground pokemon as an example like Golem it just added more weaknesses to Golem and I don't think it got any type resistances.

Normal is dumb. Pokemon are not normal. Convert most pokemon/moves to fighting and convert some moves like sing to psychic (it basically is that in the anime). The power moves like explosion, hyper beam and tri attack to steel- they are technological derived attacks. Make ghost immune to poison. Does Steel need an immunity?
