Can we get a Pokemon autism thread going? As in shit you like/dislike for weird reasons, changes you'd make to soothe your autism, or random shit you've thought about the world or series.
Personally, after seeing various discussions about typing shit, I feel like a case could be made for just overhauling the entire damn thing even if I'm not critically bothered by it (not that it would happen). Something like:
>Normal type is now just typeless.
>Other types get folded into each other or retooled i.e. Ground and Rock are now general Earth, Flying is general Air, Dragon, Bug and maybe fighting are typeless, etc. Similarly, shit like Psychic and Wing Attack are retyped (throwing someone with your mind is NOT different from throwing someone with your arms, nor is slapping a guy with your wing different from a hand slap fuck you.)
>General type weaknesses and resistances no longer exist, and instead each species has resistances and weaknesses. These will generally stay the same, but now you can avoid weird shit (Doduo being immune to Ground when it just sits there, or Regice being unmeltable but getting blown out by Fire Punch.)
>Specific immunities and interactions are now given based on the Pokemon. These are generally staying the same, but now shit that flies or levitates now just has "ignores grounded effects" as a normal property until a move changes it, and you're eating that Stun Powder unless you're literally an iron bell or something.
>Moves and Pokemon cucked by type changes get damage buffs or other traits I guess.
A lot of changes for minor shit, but now birds don't explode from Stealth Rocks I guess.
