What's going on with these weird typings? Do you like them, /vp/? Are you expecting new re-typings for old mons aside from Alola Forms?

Do find it weird that Lurantis is not bug-type
I like that Crabrawler is not water-type
Passimian could have been fighting-grass
Comfey not being part grass is kind of annoying especially after they already did this with Florges

>Are you expecting new re-typings for old mons aside from Alola Forms?
No, have they ever done that except when adding a new type?

Wow, so weird and unexplained. Casuals like you are why they added the effectiveness info to the battle screen.

Considering it's a sentient creature doing it in this case, it is pretty lewd.

Usually it's done with stuff like bees, but they doubled down on the cleverness of it's design with making it a literal Orchid Mantis.

At least least they're doing something slightly more interesting than "Take a plant, make it a grass type" that makes up 80% of grass types.

But thats wrong. Lurantis isn't a mantis, its only a plant thats pretending to a mantis.

It's an inverse of the Orchid Mantis, which is a praying mantis that pretends its a flower.

By your logic, Sableye should be part Rock.

Whoa now, no need to go 100% mad on the guy. I'm one of the people on the board that was going around explaining why it being pure grass made sense, but there's no need to call them retarded over it.

If anything, it's proof the design is a complete success.

As said, its not a bug, its a flower. It looks like a bug, so it looks like a bug type.

Not all crabs are aquatic.

Passimian is based on an athlete. Not everything needs half normal and plenty of those have been pure fighters since gen 1.

Comfey is based on ideas behind Lei, its just wearing flowers.

It's a flower only pretending to be a bug. Not an actual bug type.
Coconut crabs are completely terrestrial, they die underwater.
Passimian's strength comes from its precise athletic skills, not just raw power. Hence not Normal.
Comfey's flowers are not part of its being, it just collects them, like Klefki with keys.

You are a retard.

Why can't pokemon fans stop judging designs by their appearance alone and not put their concept into account when understanding their looks and given typings? It makes people with artistic minds feel like being apart of the fanbase is a curse.

Color coding is the bare minimum, if it has no other features that convey its type. Pokemon like Lucario and moondog that have neither are shitty designs.

Crabrawler should be Fighting/Bug. The only other fully terrestrial crustacean (Dwebble/Crustle) is Bug-type. And this gen has been pretty obsessed with using formerly unique type combos (Psychic/Ghost, Electric/Steel, Ghost/Flying, Fire/Ghost, Ghost/Ground, Grass/Dragon, Bug/Water) so I don't see any good reason why they didn't go with it.

It should be Fairy/Grass.
If it had its pre-evolution's name instead then maybe pure grass would work.
But look at it. It's Pink, "seductive", and its name is Lurantis. It lures things in and deceives them. What other Pokemon has this motif? Mawile Fairy/Steel. Where else have I seen this theme?

>Sweet kiss
>Baby-doll eyes
>Charm
>Disarming Voice
>Draining Kiss

All fairy type. A large percentage of fairies have pink as a part of their coloring, Mega-Mawile gains pink. I wonder why people might think that Lurantis might be part Fairy type. Hmm...

Sableye should actually be Steel/Fairy, while Mawile should be Ghost/Dark.
Sableye is based off the Hopkinsville Aliens that are described to be shiny eyes, is small, has big ears, which describes fairies, and when it got shot, it made a metallic sound, which is obviously Steel.
Mawile is based off a futakuchi-onna, a Youkia that was originally human, but was inflicted with a curse and became a Youkai.
If these descriptions don't scream missed-matched typings, then I don't know what is.
