>>56961547the problem with fire type is that it's just an element, it's not a property of life, or an environment that anything lives in. so it's hard to make good designs that aren't just animal+element.
take the other two "core" types for example, water and grass. they're not just elements, water represents an entire ecosystem full of unique forms of life, and grass represents plants which include thousands of different species. there's a lot more to take inspiration from that stay true to the type without just being elemental animals. like a fish isn't just animal+water, it's an animal that lives in water.
