New type combinations

[Creepercool]

Since I started playing pokemon way back during Ruby and Sapphire, I've always wanted a Water-Fire typed pokemon. What do you think Black and White has in store for us here? Think of how awesome a fire-electric would look like.

bad inaccuracy

I think that Pokémon Black and White will have many surprises in store for us lol. Water-Fire type? Sounds cool, but what do you think of a Psychic-Electric type?

[Alpha]

The most unpaired types are Fire, Electric, and Bug. For good reasons you don't see Ice-Fire types. I'm surprised there is no Fire-dragon yet, that'd be easy to accomplish. Electric-ground sounds doable, despite the contradictions there. For bugs... maybe a psychic pairing?

Afterthought: Fire ant.

[Riolu Aura Sphere Now]

Yes thats doable, but they just made a Fire-Dragon type. I think it was Reshiram or is it a Ice-Dragon type?

[Tbird]

Afterthought: Fire ant.

OR a fire fly

[Riolu Aura Sphere Now]

Maybe a Dragon-Bug type lol.

Afterthought: Dragon Fly

Maybe a Dragon-Bug type lol.

Afterthought: Dragon Fly

Yanma and Yanmega anyone?

OR a fire fly

Volbeat and Illumise

And yeah, Reshiram is Dragon Fire, I thought it was Dragon Ice too.

[Riolu Aura Sphere Now]

Yes, I thought Reshiram was a Dragon Ice type too.

Yes, Yanma and Yanmega should be a Dragon Bug type, but instead Yanma and Yanmega are a Bug Flying type.

Reckon they'll do any retyping?

Like in GSC with magnemite/ton gaining their steal typings?

[xshamirx]

I think Ghosts need new types, and I think Luxray should have been a dark/electric... how can you look at it and not think "DARK!" also grass dragon... would be interesting..,

[Riolu Aura Sphere Now]

Yes, Luxray looks more like a Dark Electric type. Grass Dragon type? Maybe, but it would look kind of weird.

What about Ninetales? Ninetales should be a Psychic Fire type instead of just being a Fire type, anyone?

[xshamirx]

I agree with the Ninetales bit too. Hmm what other pokemon need their dual types? I think Masquerain should have been Bug/Water not Bug/flying...

[Riolu Aura Sphere Now]

Yes, Masquerain should be a Water Bug type.

Dusknoir should be a Dark Ghost type instead of a being a Ghost type, anyone?

[xshamirx]

Nah, Dusknoir is good as a Ghost type... Can't think of much more... hmm...

[Riolu Aura Sphere Now]

I would think Manetric would be better off as an Electric Steel type rather than an Electric type, anyone?

[Guested]

I'd be willing to bet we'll see an Electric-Bug pairing with this new Dentula pokemon that was revealed.

The first part of its name means electricity and the second is part of tarantula.

Also, I'd be willing to bet that the English name will end up being Electula... the play on words is just... too perfect of a match.

[Mewtwo Ex]

The way things are going in gen 5, i will not be surprised to see a Fire + Water combo.

[wraith89]

Or a Fire + Grass type... we have Grass + Water... now all we need are Fire + Grass and Water + Fire... the former seems more doable than the latter, but a water beast that can breathe fire? Sounds plausible.

Reshiram being Fire + Dragon is weird. Why couldn't it just be Ice + Dragon? Sure... bad defensive type, but still... Ice would be nice

Fire + Dragon is a very easy typing to do... but Reshiram of all things? o_o

Fire needs more variety since it isn't even paired with awesome types. Electrics are only paired with Water/Flying/Steel/Ghost... and I forgot what else... so anything else would really be nice.

What about this?

Fire farting beetle

[Riolu Aura Sphere Now]

Thats cool, a Fire Bug type eh. Maybe it can be part of the Heracross family.

What about a Psychic Fire type or a Psychic Electric type?

[KWDzero]

Ice-dragon for the win! I hate getting owned by ice beam whenever I use my dragonite. : (

[aaronbkm]

I'm hoping to see a few more ghosts, and awesome psychics.

Maybe a ghost/psychic

or have we already had one of those?

i can't think of any off the top of my head

[Feralligates]

No, there isn't a Ghost/Psychic yet. A Bug/Fire is possible, and I wouldn't see why there can't be a Dragon/Ice either. Truth be told, as far as appearances go, Reshiram definitely looks like a Dragon/Ice PKMN.

Also, I wouldn't mind some "retypings" myself.

Luxray definitely looks like an Electric/Dark PKMN; Stantler has this Girafarig vibe to it, so adding a Psychic typing wouldn't seem odd; and wouldn't it be cool if Gengar lost it's Poison typing? Yeah, too awesome, but highly unlikely. I can dream...

Anyway, on a slightly different subject, way back during the RB* days, when I saw Kangaskhan for the first time, I was under the impression it was a Rock-type, just because of the way it looks.

*Red Robin! YUM!!

hoping to see dragon-ice & psychic-fire legendaries

No, there isn't a Ghost/Psychic yet. A Bug/Fire is possible, and I wouldn't see why there can't be a Dragon/Ice either. Truth be told, as far as appearances go, Reshiram definitely looks like a Dragon/Ice PKMN.

reshiram = WHITE FIRE

zekrom = BLACK ELECTRICAL BURN

[snorlaxlikespie]
