/vp/ - Pokémon » Thread #29570806

Because GF doesn't care about your autism, they simply chose what types they felt most fitting.
They already did the Psy/Dark/Fight triangle last gen anyways. The only other one that works is Rock/Fly/Fight, and I'm sure that GF is aware that people are sick of fighting type starters

How do I read this?

I'm assuming 4 is normal, 2 is not effective and 8 is double damage?

Fire=>Grass=>Water
Dark=>Ghost==Fairy
Call me when those flow charts flow in opposite cycles...
Otherwise, this is 100% a nonissue that only autists care about.

Ghost is already incredibly strong. You do realize only Normal and Dark resist it, right? Ghost pairs with almost any type perfectly.

Incineroar isn't weak to Dark because it's part Fire.

Game Freak doesn't give a fuck about a double triangle, they just pick whatever type makes the most sense for the Pokemon.

What designs would you go for?

Fire/Ice would be themed around absorbing the heat from its surroundings then releasing it for its Fire attacks

The problem with those is that they use Grass and Fire, if we're talking about the standard Grass, Fire, and Water starters, they're most likely not going to use either as a subtype.

If Decidueye kept the Flying type it would also be strong against Chesnaught's secondary typing

Honestly, I like Ghost more than Steel or Poison.

I'll just beat faggy Popplio with Grass moves. Don't need Ghost.

Let's be honest, we don't want Ghost type because it's 1x to fairy, but because it gives us immunity to Normal and Fighting. Too bad it doesn't exactly give us any SE's other than to Ghost.
That being said, at least this gen doesn't have an overflow of 4x weaknesses and in fact each Starter is immune to at least one type.

Maybe Decidueye gets thunder? Or a new ghost move that is super effective against fairy types.

Point is, it remains to be seen.

Fire/Steel, Water/Fighting and Grass/Fairy could be a cool trio for the next generation.

Fire/Steel one could be physically oriented to differentiate it from Heatran and the Water/Fighting one could be pirate themed to act as a rival to Greninja.
