I agree that poison needs to pack a harder punch, but the moves there are can be useful if you know how to use them right.
I primarily use poison type pokemon in my teams, and against pokemon who don't have any resistance to it it's pretty effective as a "kill it with bee stings" method if you can poison them.

That mixed in with an environmental damage(sandstorm, hail), proves to be extremely useful.

I suppose you're right. I guess I've always used grass types for that kind of purpose because I like using a toxic and leech seed combo. But poisons do have better resistance.

Regardless, I'd rather have them fix the types that they have instead of introducing a new type.

 

[Prof Gallows]

I dunno how likely a new type is.


Fixing the ones we already have should be top on the list over a new type. Like you said, we need more ice pokemon and some ice type moves that are exclusive to ice types. So that water pokemon won't be able to hoard them.

 

[Sora]

I sorta like the idea of minorities in the pokemon world. Like a small number of ice so you know only experienced trainers will use them. My only concern is how much other types are growing in comparison. Steel needs some new contenders for sure IMO.

 

[Prof Gallows]

Steel has a pretty decent amount compared to ice. I personally don't like the idea of minorities outside of dragon pokemon.

Dragon pokemon were meant to be rare and elusive. Yet the further generations were get into, the easier they are to get.


We need it to be harder to get dragon pokemon, and more variety for types lacking.

 

[Hamusuta]

I really don't want a new type. It will ruin everything, because I'm telling you now. If Nintendo DO release a new type, they will change loads of past generations types and **** everything up. So I'm not rooting for a new type, infact I'm against it completely.

 

[Juicebox]

I want the pseudo to not be dragon this time. As time goes on, it's starting to get old. I want them to play with some type combinations so that this pseudo isn't stuck being compared to one another.

I also want a dragon to appear somewhat early in the game.

I acutally agree with the last part,
I LOVE dragon types, they're so cool, but the problem is they are always near the end of game. Maybe Nintendo could put a dragon type... lets say where Pinwheel forest was in Pokemon B&W. Around that sort of time and I'll be happy.

I think the problem with putting a dragon Pokemon so near the beginning of the game would be that they can actually get pretty strong so it would make it kinda easy (not that Pokemon isn't already easy anyways..)

But I wouldn't mind that either.

I wish there was more Fire types(there's a good amount but it's not enough cuz I'm greedy). They are my favorite and I love them all.

True and true. I never pick the fire type starters for some reason. Because I'm a complete weirdo and pick out the odd one from starters.
I pick a boy starter, and a girl starter, and then i have the other one. So for Gen 6 Chespin is the boy one, Fennekin is the girl one, so I'm picking my baby Froakie <333

 

[Juicebox]

I still haven't decided on my starter 100% because I want to see the evolutions. But I'm probably going with Chespin because my friends are all going to pick Fennekin, so I'll be able to trade for one really easily. However, I may end up ditching my starter unless I fall in love with it, because grass types are my favorites, and there may end up being far better choices.

I never ditch my starter, even if i absolutely hate what it looks like *COUGH* SERPERIOR *COUGH*

How is this a bad thing?

 

[Prof Gallows]

Throwing in a new type would mess with the typing pool.
But it wouldn't downright ruin it. Putting in a new type would only put a few pokemon of that type into the game.

So it's not like there would be 15+ completely new pokemon with that new type. It'd be more like 2-5. if that.

Though I'm not for a new type, I'd like for more variations on the types we have.

Agreed. 153 type combinations because order is unimportant, and we're currently at 108 combinations.

I can pretty much guarantee we won't have a Ghost/Normal or a Fire/Water type.

I wouldn't rule out fire/water. They can work with that and still make it work.
Ghost and Normal wouldn't though. Can't see that.

How would fire/water work then?

 

[Jake]

How would fire/water work then?

well to be fair, scald was introduced in BW which is a water type move but can leave the opponent with a burn, so is possible

it'd work exactly like every other type combo?

 

[Prof Gallows]

Off the top of my head I don't know. But Slowpoke/Bro/King are all water pokemon and can use fire type moves.

I guess they could work in some sort of pokemon that vents heat to propel itself in the water. It could learn scald naturally since that is a water move that inflicts burn. Naturally it would have a strong advantage over a number of things, but at the same time have a disadvantage.
Grass pokemon would have to watch out for any fire type moves, but grass attacks would deal standard damage since the water's super effective would tone down the fire's resistance.

Water/fire seems interesting. It could be like BubbleBeam only sending scalding hot water. I'm guessing a good move for that would be called BubbleBurst.
