5th Gen Rotom type changes !

Yeah, It would have been better to me if it was Ghost/Fire, Water, lying, Ice, and Grass. It seems more Ghost than Electric to me but I'll get used to it.

Rotom is Electric/Ghost and drops its Sub type (ghost)

In an attempt to explain why it loses its ghost typing:

Rotom the Electric/Ghost Pokemon is made of plasma that has the ability to possess random objects. When it possesses those objects, it looses its ghostly form and gains a physical one.

So when it possesses the Lawn Mower and becomes Mower Rotom, it now has a physical body as well as a new attack, so it replaces the secondary type (Ghost) with a new secondary typing.


Personally I love this. It should have been done the first time, but better late than never I say.

^This is spot on. I agree completely that it should lose his ghost-type when possessing the appliances; it adds some real depth to the typing.

Same here. Well, the plus side is, aside from these changes being closer to what should have been done in the first place, is that we technically get our first Grass/Electric Pokemon Forme! :D
 
This a big change. Rotom will lose its dark weakness, but at the expense of gaining some new weaknesses and losing its normal and fighting immunities. However it will gain STAB for its signature moves.

Personally I think this a logical move to drop the ghost-type due to taking a physicial form.
 
Oh... well I guess it does make sense that it's taken a physical forme, and not having one in the first place is what I've always thought of the Ghost-Type in general in the first place. I'm glad you guys explained that one... now I've embraced the change.
