Flying is very clearly the most non-Type of Types, and I suggest a few changes
>remove flying type
>remove the levitate ability—those currently with levitate can get normal abilities now
>being grounded vs airborne is now a quality all pokémon possess
>airborne pokémon are not immune to the ground type inherently, but to 'floor moves', which does not include for example mud shot, but does include earthquake, surf, and the terrain moves
>airborne pokémon receive double the damage from electric type moves. stealth rock now dishes out damage equally among types, but does double to airborne pokémon
>if it was immune to ground moves before these changes, (aside from maybe dodrio) the pokémon will be classified as airborne now. many pokémon like venomoth/volcarona who weren't immune to ground before are now airborne. (in the interest of not being overpowered, the magnemite line stays grounded)
>either sky/aether or air/wind type is introduced to replace flying. this is only for pokémon who actually aesthetically embody the sky, or have air/weather-based powers. good examples are dragonair, altaria and castform for the former and arcanine/shiftry/lugia for the latter
…Whatcha think?
