Title: Starting pokemon types


Monkey - April 16, 2003 11:39 PM (GMT)
Well, ive often thought about this, and think its a pretty good idea.

Wouldn't it be cool to have 3 different types to choose from for starting pokemon?

I mean, instead of having fire, water and grass, wouldnt it be cool to have like,
psychic, fighting, and dark?
or we could have electric, water and ground
or bug, flying, and psychic?

post any trio of types that you would like to see as starting pokemon types, and if you can think of it, the pokemon that could take that position.

Steel, Rock, Ice

and we could call that the registarters, teeheehee

Psychic, Fighting and Dark could make sense since it fits the type cycle that starters go by (Psychic beats Fighting, Fighting beats Dark, Dark beats Psychic) the other one you mentioned wouldnt fit. neither would Steel Ice and Rock. so i guess P F D would be best.

Faleira - April 17, 2003 04:26 AM (GMT)
actually, a Flying, Rock, Bug would be nice if bug pokemons weren't so weak :angry:

bunnygirl - April 17, 2003 04:34 AM (GMT)
Flying, Rock and Bug doesnt fit the cycle. the cycle is very important for the starting Pokemon...at least i think so. Fire, Grass and Water are nice, basic types. also, the Pokemon all have to have 3 stages, and the first forms must all similar stats.

and that's why they always make new ones, lol

That would be awesome since Pychic & dark pokemon are my favorites!

only thing i don't like in that cycle is the fact that psychic and dark attacks are incredibly strong, so either they boost up every other pokemon, or they will just clean right through the game

bunnygirl - April 17, 2003 04:55 PM (GMT)
ack...i just noticed something a bit unfair for the regular starters.
Water Weaknesses - Electric, Grass
Fire Weaknesses - Water, Rock, Ground
Grass Weaknesses - Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying

i guess picking the Water-type is best after all...

Monkey - April 18, 2003 04:48 AM (GMT)
But water pokemon are not original anymore... i mean, like 1/3 of the pokemon in the game are water types, and ya forgot to mention there move capabilities and stats...

sorry if i seem rude bunny girl, all of a sudden i regret posting this because i feel like im trying to sound smarter then you are...

im not sure what exactly you mean by 'not original'. the fact that many Pokemon are Water-types is irrelevant. capabilities and stats vary from Pokemon to Pokemon, regardless of what type they are.

and its quite alright Monkey, you dont need to apologize for anything. i like a good challenge :)

I want dark types!! :angry:

I like fire types. Who woulda thought........

LadySuicune - April 19, 2003 07:00 PM (GMT)
I think Ice, Dragon, and Water starters would be kewl!

Kamon - April 20, 2003 03:30 PM (GMT)

what about
thunder,fire,and water like the eon family and the legendary woofs

yea! like my Sui!
That gives me another idea!
Wouldn't it be cool if there was a pokemon game that you could choose the pre-evolved forms of legendary pokemon as your starter? That would be sooo awesome!

Champion Nick - April 20, 2003 11:37 PM (GMT)
How about:

Water/(Dark, Psychic, or Fighting)
Grass/(Dark, Psychic, or Fighting)
Fire/(Dark, Psychic, or Fighting)

Monkey - April 21, 2003 04:48 PM (GMT)
yeah that would be pretty cool, having dual type starters like that

#1bestwingedrapidash - April 21, 2003 08:12 PM (GMT)
That would be cool. Besides I don't want an invisible Houndoom attacking me............
