Greek for Sun. Helioptile is not a Fire-type. What the fuck, Gamefreak?

I just noticed that Helioptile is called the Generation Pokémon. Does that mean it's technically the Pikachu-relative that every generation has?

See Plusle and Minun, Marrill, Emolga, etc.

Also just because it is Electric type does not make it the Pikachu, it looks nothing like him.

Normal protects it from Ghost. Far from useless. Besides, I like that Gamefreak is actually attempting new type combinations, even if they're mediocre.

For some reason I want to see a normal combination with every other type. Plus I guess it's a nice way to make it early route, therefore make it not too overpowered. I'd even like to see a normal/dragon that is still rare and fun to use in game, but would obviously be instant NU material.

That said a normal/ghost would actually be beneficial.

I really hope they changed the Flying/Normal typing of Fletchling into a Fire/Flying, it seems pretty obvious that they will though since it knows Flame Charge and will have two evolutions.

My idea: Based on the weather, its normal type adjusts to fit whatever type of power it can generate, and it changes shape as well. E.g. flying for wind turbine, water for hydroelectric dam, fire for solar power etc.

Also, it's the starting area bird. They're never anything but Flying/Normal and Gamefreak is too chickenshit to deviate from this. I mean, after five generations of shitty starter birds, only one is worth a crap: Staraptor.

I have, but the most moves that stick out are either moves that are learned through TMs, or they are non-evolving pokemon.
Because tell me now, how many Normal/Flying learn Flame charge though leveling up?
Hell, just give me a few examples of non-evolved Normal pokemons which learn "elemental" move through leveling up, because I'm trying to come up with some myself.
