Wheres the Fire Types?

[Burgers Rule]

Over time, i noticed that Fire types are disappearing from the game. In the 4th generation, there were very few fire types. There are more Electric types then Fire types, and fire has always more of a main type then Electric. Where's the fire? Where's the love?

Yes, there are very few Fire-Types, yet there are quite a few Legendary Fire-Types. (Ho-Oh, Moltres, Entei, Heatran). I suppose it's because it's not easy to create an original Fire type, if you've noticed a lot of them have a flame on their tail or a tail which is a flame.

I don't know, maybe I'm just making excuses for the creators. But there should be pleanty considering Fire is one of the three "main types". I mean 19% of all Pokemon are Water types!!

"Fire has always more of a main type than Electric" ? That really doesn't make any sense. Oh and just to let you know, fire is extremely overused, so in this case, I'm only pretty happy about the decrease. On the bright side, there are pokemon that can learn fire attacks. Isn't that good enough?

Yes, but there were only 5 Fire types introduced in Gen IV. The Starter and its evolutions (Chimchar - Monferno - Infernape), Magmortar and the Legendary Heatran. No original ones really :/

Yup

Jim said what I meant about "Fire being more of a main type," to clear things up. Also, your'e right, the very few fire types are usually overused. Plus, fire attacks can be learned by a wierd amount of Pokemon. Fire types are used alot in legendaries, probably because fire is a hugely powerful and magestic element (who knows why).

There are barely any fire types in any game which makes me mad, why fire types are just as cool as dragons.

I guess they just got missed out, but in DP you can trade any pokemon you want into at the begining of the game so it doesnt seem like a big problem.

The reasoning behind the lack of Fire types in fourth gen is most likely that Sinnoh is a very cold region, as evident by Mt. Coronet and Snowpoint. With the temperature being so low i would imagine that it would be hard for species of Fire pokemon to survive.

I'm happy that they have toned down fire types because now I can use the most underused type which is poison.

I'm glad there's less Fire-types, there needs to be more Poision-type Pokemon.

Sinnoh

I see what at. Sinnoh is very cold and Fire Pokemon couldn't survive. That makes sense. Still...

they should have a freakin fire/dragon. Its so obvious! It would be the most majestic dragon of them all!

Ive noticed that theres loads more electric. It is so unfair. FIRE TYPES RULE. How many electric type legendaries is there? Not very many. Because they are not worth it

 

[eternalglory]

Zapdos, Raikou, Rotom (kindf of), and Arceus! (Ha.)
Guess electrics just fell off the bandwagon
