>>38157009While I agree lava IS viewed as Fire-type, using localized names isn't the best argument. It's much closer to the original intent now, but can still sometimes differ. Quilava's Japanese name DOES reference magma, though, so that's another point for the magma = Fire camp.
>>38155212>>38157210Slugma is pure Fire, not gaining Rock-type until it evolves and the shell cools. So yeah, magma is definitely more closely associated with Fire in the Pokemon world.
