@@someonehavinganidentitycrisis i think it would be funny if it was a rock/ground type considering how much it actually doesn’t like water. it could also just stay pure rock but still
This entire video in a nutshell: "I don't bother looking up the Pokédex information of these Pokémon, looking at what they are based on or what their names mean and jump to my own conclusions that their types are wrong and treat it as a fact". It was a pain to watch. Here are some of the Pokémon you made these errors on: Fomantis and Lurantis are described as plants pretending to be bugs, Crabrawelr is based on the coconut crab, which is a crab that can't swim (they can only live in water in their larval stage) and Ampharos is named Denryuu in Japanese, which can be translated to "electric dragon".
@@rararoyo It bothers me when people use the word 'fix' and then proceed to not fix anything. I can enjoy videos with those titles, but it bothers me when they do things like make a video called 'Fixing Gym Leaders' and then give the first leader Pokémon like Scizor or Rampardos.
The reason behind Decidueye's Grass/Ghost type is cool yet tragic. Decidueye is based off of the Pueo, or Hawaiian Short Earred Owl. This is owl species is endangered which is why Decidueye is part Ghost due to the species dying from deforestation
I am still trying to wrap my around some of these types changes because some of them are just absurd and make no sense. Normal is associated with Sound in the games so normal flying is fine for Chatot Coconut Crabs have basically nothing to do with Water, and Crabrawler cant even be found in the water. Pineco is a bagworm disguising as a Pinecone Pokémon like Pawmi & Nymble make no sense to have the type of their evos because their deisgns have nothing to do with it. I must be missing something cuz it just doesn't make sense to me.
0:14 the reason mega ampharos is a dragon type is because origanaly while the creators we're making gold & silver ampharos in japanese meant electrick dragon but for combat reasons now ampharos is a pure elecktrik type but they wanted to give back ampharos'es old dragon type so they made mega ampharos thx for reading
Minior makes sense as a flying/rock type because it lives in the sky and flys through space and also lugia is a psychic type and a flying type because it only live in the sea to help it control its psychic powers and it flies
The part that makes me wanna bite plaster is when he complains about why a Pokémon should have a different type and then ignores other Pokémon who fall into the same category like pincurchin and comfey
I like how he says "it's for the better" and then just "kill" some of these pokemons because of a new x4 of damage on increasing the x2 they already have
4x weakness doesnt = bad (example if they are fast). it can be worked around and they can get big buffs too or a new ability that turns it back to 2x similar to thick fat (80% of pokemon have a bad ability anyway)
The most egregious example was what he did to the kanto starters. Congrats, Charizard now walls both meanwhile Blastoise will die just from inhaling Venusaur’s pollen.
*Sigh* When people don't look deeper into the meanings of the pokemon let's take Rowlet for exactly Rowlet has part of Arrow in it's name and arrows can be shot and most describe arrows flying into the air Rowlet isn't a flying type just because it's a bird if that were the case then Torchic and Quaxly should also be flying because their birds too
Wait what give my boy serperior grass/normal. Dragon works way better so it can be the first reasonable grass/dragon. I think normal is for animals with little aspects of their secondary typing.
Minior is flying type because it’s a metorite falling through the sky. The lurantis line aren’t actually bugs they’re plants who are meant to look like bugs
Speaking of digimon this is what I think the botamon-war greymon line typing would be Botamon:Normal Koromon:normal Agumon:Fire-dragon Greymon: Fire-dragon Metal greymon: Fire-steel War greymon:fighting-steel
i think the reason hatterene gains the fairy type upon evolving is because it mimicks bede as his signature pokemon, bede started out as a psychic specialist but then when opal took him under her wing he “evolved” into a fairy specialist i agree that florges should be fairy/grass, but personally i think flabebe and floette should stay pure fairy since they are little pixies holding flowers i also get the confusion about adding the grass type to calyrex since hes just gonna sit on a horse, but hes known as “the king of bountiful harvests” and summons…well, bountiful harvests
I'd argue that Chatot should stay part Normal-type because its whole gimmick revolves around sound and Normal is the closest thing we have to a Sound type.
The dude makes a whole video about pokemon typing and what makes sense, but it doesn't include Luxray. It should be a Electric Dark type instead of just a solid electric type. I feel like it's obvious in a way, but i can list some reasonings. 1: Learns a couple of dark type moves anyway 2: Vibes just look at him 3: He has X-ray vision, and hense the name luXRAY, so i feel like it suits the name well? 4: With his X-ray vision, he is extra eepy being normally up at night instead. GIVE HIM THE DARK TYPE GAMEFREAK
Luxray dark type honestly doesn't make sense. The only dark type moves it learns by level up ate bite and better bite, which is something you would expect a lion to do. Lux is a unit of brightness, so light and therefore opposite of dark. X-ray is an EM wave, which again light. Lions can see in the dark. Vibe is the best reason you have, and it is reasonable. You can say it should be dark is that it would be ironic.
The reason that Gyarados is Water-Flying is because Gyarados is based on that same Dragon and abused its own power. Hence, stripped from is Dragon Title and became a Serpent who can control wind. And he dont really learn much Physical Flying Type, which makes sense because of the lore it is based on.
Something that you forgot to consider is that, for the starters the second type balance each other . For example the gen 6 starters their secondary is psychic > fighting > dark; they balance each other. Making the whole charizard line dragon type would mean you would also have to accommodate blastoise and venasoar so they balance each other, dragon has few weaknesses so it’ll be kinda hard to find 2 other types that make a triangle loop. Sorry it got nerdy 🤓 Also, dragon type wasn’t a thing in gen 1 if you are talking about consistency. Edit: 9:40 “why metior flying type” proceeds to show metior in the sky- there is your reason buddy.. because it’s in the sky Edit: 16:45 honestly I feel like it would fit much more as ground fire, he makes land not plants. There is no lava type so the next closest is fire.
Ampharos in its Mega is Dragon Type because the Pokemon itself is a Dragon Pokemon(as it's even noted in some media, not every Dragon Pokemon is Dragon Type) and it always was intended to be a Dragon Type but ended up pure Electric, the Japanese name of Ampharos even outright means Electric Dragon
Chatot makes sense to be Normal/Flying type, considering that the Normal type can refer to Pokémon that have a sound-related theme. Lurantis is a pure Grass type because it’s just a plant that only looks like a Mantis.
Rhyhorn is a ground type so it has immunity against electricity, one of its abilities is literally “lightning rod” I think it suits him, one of my favorites
While yes you find Rhydon in the safari zone, it's more related to magma and digging through rocks and boulders with its horn. Hence why they probably gave it a rock typing.
Most of these type changes do not make sense or do not really need any changes. I don't understand why people want Yanmega to be a Bug/Dragon because it's a dragonfly, an insect. Just because it's a dragonfly does not mean it should be an actual dragon. Dragonflies got their name from their hindwings being broader than their forewings, similar to dragons. The Creation Trio's primary types are the way they are is because steel represents solid, and diamonds are hard as steel, water represents liquid, and pearls are associated with water and water changes forms of matter, and ghost represents gas, which can phase through solid objects like ghost can. It was confirmed in 2009 that Lugia isn't a Water type is because at the time, Psychic was a very powerful type, and GF wanted to give Lugia a stronger impression. Gyarados being part Flying actually has to do with a carp-shaped windsock, and to be fair, GF did not want too many Dragon types back then since Dragons were more rare and powerful to the other types
Fomantis line: plants pretending to be bugs. A reverse for the Orchid Mantis I think the states of matter argument for the Sinnoh trio is valid. Plus the saying that “we are flowing through time is why Palkia is Water type. Dodrio I think should be a part fighting type since it has strong legs to run and kick opponents. Having the Early route birds be Normal/Flying since most of them are just birds. Not much more to them. I do agree that Staraptor should be Fighting/Flying just for the coolness factor and STAB close combat.
Some of these are really cool and better but others feel overkill with most of the "keep this same typing for all evolution stages" being bland imo. Also I feel this didn't take actual battle strength into consideration except for bug and flying at points. Either way Charizard not being dragon is fine in my book. Something is cool about it and we don't need to a set a precedent for elemental lizards needing to be dragon (no matter how much it looks like it).
I actually really like when aquatic pokemon aren't water types. Plenty of pokemon that inhabit forests or plains aren't grass type, plenty of pokemon that live in the mountains aren't rock types. I'd rather have cool type combos like Overquil's Dark/Poison than require anything that spends its time in the water to use one of its only two typings on water, as if we don't already have enough water typed fish pokemon out there.
The main reason Charizard isn't a dragon type is because of balancing with the other starters. Even with the trio you made, it heavily makes Venusaur worse because now Charizard risits Venusaur quadly and goes neutral to Blastoise's water type. I will admit giving Blastoise ground does fix that, however as you said Blastoise better fits steel. Because even though steel didn't exist in Gen 1, types have been updated as the years went by and more typings came to be. Keep in mind Magnemite was pure electric until Gen 2, and the Clefairy and Jigglypuff line became fairy when fairy type was introduced. Even then though Blastoise should probably remain monotype because no type that makes sense for Blastoise keeps the type trio between the starters fair.
Since I played Pokémon conquest, I associate the Ground type more with sand and plains and the rock type with caverns So if I was gonna make Rhyhorn mono-type, it'd be mono-ground, and gain the rock type upon evolution into Rhyperior
0:24 Ok, here we go. I'll probably critique a few typings if need be 2:26 Charizard is a Flying type due to gen 1 balancing I don't think it works as a Dragon type, though, since it'd screw with the starter type triangle (Especially since you said you're making the entire line Dragon type) and not every draconic looking Pokemon has to be a Dragon type. I think it has the potential inside of it to become a Dragon type that has to be tapped into (Mega Charizard X) 3:25 Again, type imbalance. Also these aren't dragons, Mega Sceptile only gains the typing due to hidden potential being unlocked by the mega evolution If I were to give them a secondary type, I would suggest either Flying for their speed, or Steel (Which you also suggested) since the line's signature move was Leaf Blade 3:54 Fair, honestly 4:25 A starter has never been Normal type (Not counting Eevee) I would suggest the Psychic type instead 4:40 This was probably also done due to balancing But also, in the story a dragon that was too reckless and destructive (Like Gyarados) would lose it's status as a dragon. 5:25 Normal type is also the "Sound" type, so that works 5:49 Ledyba as Bug Normal I can see I would've made Ledian Bug Fighting, to fit it's Super Sentai origin a bit more 6:11 I think the Normal type here is representing it just being kinda dull 6:13 If anything, I'd replace the Ground type with the Poison type here 7:40 (That's a Grass type symbol, buddy) 7:48 Cacturne is an evil scarecrow, Cacnea is just a baby Drilbur isn't a giant steel drill like Excadrill, why would it be Steel type Nymble is a weak, bullied child who evolves into a Super Sentai villain to get back at those who hurt it 8:09 Ampharos' Japanese name is a pun on the words for electric dragon It's Mega is also CLEARLY based on Chinese dragons 8:57 Literally just starlings, a duck, woodpeckers, a toucan and eagles Chatot actually deserves the Normal type, because again it's the "Sound" type 9:52 It was probably because of the shooting star aspect Honestly they should have just made it Rock Psychic 9:59 To be fair, frogs are loud 10:09 It's a bagworm like Burmy, so the pinecone parts aren't a part of it's body. 10:13 A lot of people seem to forget this. Lurantis and Fomantis are plants pretending to be bugs, they are not actually bugs 10:29 (That's a Steel type symbol, not a Fire type symbol) 10:37 They're actually only decorated in flowers, but I've started to agree that they should have the Grass typing 13:15 Again, not an actual part of the Pokemon 13:51 Lugia was made for a movie and waa then added to the games, it's Psychic type was due to Psychic being a strong type back then I agree it should have been water type 14:36 Psychic types are more linked with space anyways, why did they make it a water type??? 15:15 It's head is a giant bulb??? Why would it NOT be grass type???? 15:38 Maybe it has to do with Dragon type being one of the strongest types. Also it resembles a dragon head in its base form, so they clearly planed for it to have a Dragon type form
I'm sorry, I really am, but I agree Florgese should be Fairy and Grass... but please read up on the dex entries! She is COVERED in flowers, not made of flowers. I don't see people calling Haxorus Steel because "axes on face". Also, Rowlett? Google is free everyone. They are Grass Flying and Decydueye is Ghost because of what is based on. A dying tree species. Please public school wasn't that bad to me.
Chatot is a normal type cuz its sound based and the sound related pokemon have always been represented by the normal type. If sound related werent represented by the normal type, Chatot would probably be a pure flying type Edit: we dont talk about how politoed is not a normal type Edit 2: apparently Lurantis is based on a plant that looks like a mantis, not a mantis that looks like a plant
14:18 ghosts have similar qualities to gas, you can't touch or see ghost just like how you can't touch or see air and i mean the first ever ghost type pokemon is ghastly a ghost made of gas
lurantis is the opposite of a stick bug meaning its a plant tryign to look like a bug not a bug trying to look like a plant thats why it is pure grass type its not a bug
8:59 the only reason why there's no pure flying because the move root removes flying and making them to take no damage than any typing you can make a Pokemon perfectly normal and have multiple points that immortal completely gone like better than Arceus😅
Chatot makes sense as a normal flying type since his whole thing is sound and sound gets lumped up with normal. Also flygon should be ground bug type since its based on a bug that while gets confused with dragonflies but is not a dragonfly
Pokemon blaze black 2 redux (a room hack by drayano) literally have all these dual type or things you changed the only exception being serperior being dragon/grass
Other than time, space and antimatter Dialga, Palkia and Giratina represent the 3 phases of matter as well. Dialga represents solid matter, so it was given the steel type. Palkia represents liquid matter, so it was given the water type. Giratina represents gases, so it was given the ghost type.
Love the idea, but I do have to defend a couple of these. Crabrawler is based on the coconut crab, one of the few fully terrestrial crabs. Can't swim, can't breathe water. Orchid mantises are bugs pretending to be flowers, and Fomantis [faux mantis] is that flipped on its head: a flower pretending to be a bug. You fell for it, smooth-brain (that's a joke, you're fine)
Actually florges isn’t made of flowers, she just has flowers around her. I mean, it’s not like you would make timburr a fighting grass type because he holds a piece of wood, right?
You see lurantis is based on mimicry. It is a plant that tries to look like a bug so predators don’t eat it. Making it bug type completely ruins the mimicry aspect.
For the Aron line, I would either make it pure Rock or pure Steel (preferably the latter), because Steel/Rock has two double weaknesses to Ground and Fighting, both of which are super effective against five types each (Rock and Steel are two of them; Fighting is also super effective against Normal, Ice, and Dark, whereas Ground is super effective against Poison, Fire, and Electric).
I am with the comments about the bird Pokémon’s. Gamefreak made the “normal/wind” type when I making the game for facing the “beast” type that would’ve made Arcanine an actual legendary, but scrapped the “beast” type and change the “wind” type to “flying” but didn’t think of getting rid of the “normal” type which to me actually makes sense for the “normal/flying” because even though their “flying” types, they’re still normal animals like the Rattattas while Tornadus is pure “flying” because it’s the wind itself.
I agree that alot of Pokemon's type choices are incredibly inconsistent. Crabrawler issupposed to be a coconut crab and coconut crabs are not aquatic. That said, most people are not gonna get that.
Giving fire through primal reversion makes sense since it is getting more power of the earth. Groudon is just the surface of crust. Primal Groudon goes beyond that and into the mantel.
Charizard shouldn’t be a dragon only the mega should because it makes it not weak to water and starters are supposed to teach kids type matchups. Same goes to sceptile. I get it happens with empoleon but torterra has part ground which makes it good against empoleon
10:13 i love it when people just doesnt know it's suppose to be a plant which looks like a bug
the opposite of a mantis
It's like saying sudowoodo should be grass
It's literally just a plant that tries to look like a bug

The reason charizard is not a dragon type is because it would no longer be weak to water thus breaking the type triangle
@@samdapp also because dragon type was completely broken in gen 1 and had basically no weaknesses, a dragon starter would be insane
Then Blastoise having Water/Ice would be a great balance.
@@axplade2899good call since in gen 1, fire didn't resist ice.

Gyarados being part Flying actually has to do with a carp-shaped windsock, and to be fair, GF did not want too many Dragon types back then since Dragons were more rare and powerful to the other types
Fomantis line: plants pretending to be bugs. A reverse for the Orchid Mantis
I think the states of matter argument for the Sinnoh trio is valid. Plus the saying that “we are flowing through time is why Palkia is Water type.
Dodrio I think should be a part fighting type since it has strong legs to run and kick opponents.
Having the Early route birds be Normal/Flying since most of them are just birds. Not much more to them. I do agree that Staraptor should be Fighting/Flying just for the coolness factor and STAB close combat.
Some of these are really cool and better but others feel overkill with most of the "keep this same typing for all evolution stages" being bland imo. Also I feel this didn't take actual battle strength into consideration except for bug and flying at points.
Either way Charizard not being dragon is fine in my book. Something is cool about it and we don't need to a set a precedent for elemental lizards needing to be dragon (no matter how much it looks like it).
Groudon was born in a volcano
I actually really like when aquatic pokemon aren't water types. Plenty of pokemon that inhabit forests or plains aren't grass type, plenty of pokemon that live in the mountains aren't rock types. I'd rather have cool type combos like Overquil's Dark/Poison than require anything that spends its time in the water to use one of its only two typings on water, as if we don't already have enough water typed fish pokemon out there.
The main reason Charizard isn't a dragon type is because of balancing with the other starters. Even with the trio you made, it heavily makes Venusaur worse because now Charizard risits Venusaur quadly and goes neutral to Blastoise's water type. I will admit giving Blastoise ground does fix that, however as you said Blastoise better fits steel. Because even though steel didn't exist in Gen 1, types have been updated as the years went by and more typings came to be. Keep in mind Magnemite was pure electric until Gen 2, and the Clefairy and Jigglypuff line became fairy when fairy type was introduced. Even then though Blastoise should probably remain monotype because no type that makes sense for Blastoise keeps the type trio between the starters fair.
Since I played Pokémon conquest, I associate the Ground type more with sand and plains and the rock type with caverns
So if I was gonna make Rhyhorn mono-type, it'd be mono-ground, and gain the rock type upon evolution into Rhyperior
12:39 anyone who has tried to 100% the Pokédex knows how exasperating these little critters when you’re searching around in the water
7:41 ah Drapion, my favorite Poison Grass type
Lugia hides in the deep sea because it’s too powerful otherwise no?? Not because it needs to be in the water
I hate almost every one of these choices. I'm sorry, but you need to do some research.
7:53 He says Pomni, He says Pomni…. The rot consumes
he said pawmi
Mfw Pawmi and Pomni sound the same:
0:24
Ok, here we go. I'll probably critique a few typings if need be
2:26
Charizard is a Flying type due to gen 1 balancing
I don't think it works as a Dragon type, though, since it'd screw with the starter type triangle (Especially since you said you're making the entire line Dragon type) and not every draconic looking Pokemon has to be a Dragon type.
I think it has the potential inside of it to become a Dragon type that has to be tapped into (Mega Charizard X)
3:25
Again, type imbalance. Also these aren't dragons, Mega Sceptile only gains the typing due to hidden potential being unlocked by the mega evolution
If I were to give them a secondary type, I would suggest either Flying for their speed, or Steel (Which you also suggested) since the line's signature move was Leaf Blade
3:54
Fair, honestly
4:25
A starter has never been Normal type (Not counting Eevee)
I would suggest the Psychic type instead
4:40
This was probably also done due to balancing
But also, in the story a dragon that was too reckless and destructive (Like Gyarados) would lose it's status as a dragon.
5:25
Normal type is also the "Sound" type, so that works
5:49
Ledyba as Bug Normal I can see
I would've made Ledian Bug Fighting, to fit it's Super Sentai origin a bit more
6:11
I think the Normal type here is representing it just being kinda dull
6:13
If anything, I'd replace the Ground type with the Poison type here
7:40
(That's a Grass type symbol, buddy)
7:48
Cacturne is an evil scarecrow, Cacnea is just a baby
Drilbur isn't a giant steel drill like Excadrill, why would it be Steel type
Nymble is a weak, bullied child who evolves into a Super Sentai villain to get back at those who hurt it
8:09
Ampharos' Japanese name is a pun on the words for electric dragon
It's Mega is also CLEARLY based on Chinese dragons
8:57
Literally just starlings, a duck, woodpeckers, a toucan and eagles
Chatot actually deserves the Normal type, because again it's the "Sound" type
9:52
It was probably because of the shooting star aspect
Honestly they should have just made it Rock Psychic
9:59
To be fair, frogs are loud
10:09
It's a bagworm like Burmy, so the pinecone parts aren't a part of it's body.
10:13
A lot of people seem to forget this. Lurantis and Fomantis are plants pretending to be bugs, they are not actually bugs
10:29
(That's a Steel type symbol, not a Fire type symbol)
10:37
They're actually only decorated in flowers, but I've started to agree that they should have the Grass typing
13:15
Again, not an actual part of the Pokemon
13:51
Lugia was made for a movie and waa then added to the games, it's Psychic type was due to Psychic being a strong type back then
I agree it should have been water type
14:36
Psychic types are more linked with space anyways, why did they make it a water type???
15:15
It's head is a giant bulb??? Why would it NOT be grass type????
15:38
Maybe it has to do with Dragon type being one of the strongest types.
Also it resembles a dragon head in its base form, so they clearly planed for it to have a Dragon type form
Charizard is Dragon Fire.
The masses: why isn't it flying type??? It has wings?!
I'm sorry, I really am, but I agree Florgese should be Fairy and Grass... but please read up on the dex entries! She is COVERED in flowers, not made of flowers. I don't see people calling Haxorus Steel because "axes on face".
Also, Rowlett? Google is free everyone. They are Grass Flying and Decydueye is Ghost because of what is based on. A dying tree species.
Please public school wasn't that bad to me.
Chatot is a normal type cuz its sound based and the sound related pokemon have always been represented by the normal type. If sound related werent represented by the normal type, Chatot would probably be a pure flying type
Edit: we dont talk about how politoed is not a normal type
Edit 2: apparently Lurantis is based on a plant that looks like a mantis, not a mantis that looks like a plant
Idk if this a odd take Darkrai should be dark/ghost, i always felt him being one made sense but maybe it just because ghost types are my fav.
14:18 ghosts have similar qualities to gas, you can't touch or see ghost just like how you can't touch or see air and i mean the first ever ghost type pokemon is ghastly a ghost made of gas
lurantis is the opposite of a stick bug meaning its a plant tryign to look like a bug not a bug trying to look like a plant thats why it is pure grass type its not a bug
8:59 the only reason why there's no pure flying because the move root removes flying and making them to take no damage than any typing you can make a Pokemon perfectly normal and have multiple points that immortal completely gone like better than Arceus😅
i liked all changes
Great for you😊😊😊
Chatot makes sense as a normal flying type since his whole thing is sound and sound gets lumped up with normal. Also flygon should be ground bug type since its based on a bug that while gets confused with dragonflies but is not a dragonfly
Politoed is very much not Water/Normal, he's far too cartoony in both appearance and personality. That dude is Water/Fairy
Pokemon blaze black 2 redux (a room hack by drayano) literally have all these dual type or things you changed the only exception being serperior being dragon/grass
Lumineon from sinnoh water fairy
Other than time, space and antimatter Dialga, Palkia and Giratina represent the 3 phases of matter as well. Dialga represents solid matter, so it was given the steel type. Palkia represents liquid matter, so it was given the water type. Giratina represents gases, so it was given the ghost type.
@@David56465 He already explained he thinks this is "poor reasoning"
And it’s true that most Ghost types fly, which would explain Giratina’s reference to the gas phase.
Love the idea, but I do have to defend a couple of these. Crabrawler is based on the coconut crab, one of the few fully terrestrial crabs. Can't swim, can't breathe water. Orchid mantises are bugs pretending to be flowers, and Fomantis [faux mantis] is that flipped on its head: a flower pretending to be a bug. You fell for it, smooth-brain (that's a joke, you're fine)
Actually florges isn’t made of flowers, she just has flowers around her. I mean, it’s not like you would make timburr a fighting grass type because he holds a piece of wood, right?
Crazy how he did that
This entire video has to be a joke fr. This changes are dumb, clearly he didn't research enough.
16:44 Absolutely not
You see lurantis is based on mimicry. It is a plant that tries to look like a bug so predators don’t eat it. Making it bug type completely ruins the mimicry aspect.
Pokemon Academy Life when? :,(
For the Aron line, I would either make it pure Rock or pure Steel (preferably the latter), because Steel/Rock has two double weaknesses to Ground and Fighting, both of which are super effective against five types each (Rock and Steel are two of them; Fighting is also super effective against Normal, Ice, and Dark, whereas Ground is super effective against Poison, Fire, and Electric).
zangoose is one of my favorite Pokémon
I am with the comments about the bird Pokémon’s. Gamefreak made the “normal/wind” type when I making the game for facing the “beast” type that would’ve made Arcanine an actual legendary, but scrapped the “beast” type and change the “wind” type to “flying” but didn’t think of getting rid of the “normal” type which to me actually makes sense for the “normal/flying” because even though their “flying” types, they’re still normal animals like the Rattattas while Tornadus is pure “flying” because it’s the wind itself.
I would make Groudon a ground/fire type
I agree that alot of Pokemon's type choices are incredibly inconsistent.
Crabrawler issupposed to be a coconut crab and coconut crabs are not aquatic. That said, most people are not gonna get that.
I doesn’t make more sense for flygon to go bug dragon since we already have a powerful ground dragon in Garchomp?
Flygon came before garchomp
dialga should be the water type. the "flow" of time?
Solgaleo left the chat
WHEN I WAS LIKE 6 I THOUGHT RAYQUAZA WAS GRASS AND GROUDON WAS FIRE
Sudowoodo should be grass. IT’S A TREE GODANGIT.
Please be joking
I always thought kyogre should gain the electric type upon primal reversion, similar to how groudon gains the fire type
Mr. Sten, you're so so so wrong on too many of these
Groudon should be ground fire. They made primal groudon fire ground but they can't change the regular one
Giving fire through primal reversion makes sense since it is getting more power of the earth. Groudon is just the surface of crust. Primal Groudon goes beyond that and into the mantel.
@@someonehavinganidentitycrisis But still, it should be fire, ice water kyogre vs fire ground groudon would be really cool
Charizard shouldn’t be a dragon only the mega should because it makes it not weak to water and starters are supposed to teach kids type matchups. Same goes to sceptile. I get it happens with empoleon but torterra has part ground which makes it good against empoleon
Keep palkia how it is it is the flow of space like how water flows also ur right about jarchi
Palkia is the space one
Ultra necrozma is a dragon though
Why is Solgaleo a steel psychic
It is the sun it should be fire psychic
Alchemy reasons
