If Alela Ninetales is Ice/Fairy does that mean she is finally

>If Alola Sandslash is Ice/Steel does that mean he is finally going to be retconned to Ground/Steel?

>75% female

>>27553209
I think it is. The chinese leak was talking about fire/fairy, so maybe in this gen it turns to that.

>>27553253
75% =/= 100%
I have a male ;)
But if he's like me he probably just calls his Pokemon by the gender he has them as, or plans on having them as.

>>27553209
That would be cool... I wouldn't mind that at all. Or maybe Fire/Ghost.

>>27553246
Sandslash is completely different. He's not really steel he just becomes hard like steel.

I get fire changing to ice but how does regular Ninetales suddenly become a fairy out of nothing?

>>27553209

It's possible, but I doubt it.

needs to be fire/ghost or fire/psychic

>>27553209

I really hope so.

>Alolan Ninetales live on a snowy peak that is revered in the Alola region as a holy mountain. They are treated as sacred emissaries, and people meet them with awe and fear. This Pokémon’s personality is extremely gentle, and at times it has helped humans who seem to be in distress. However, it shows no mercy at all to anyone or anything that dares to damage its territory!

Alolan Ninetales are considered sacred, and help people in distress

Regular Ninetales curse people just for touching their tails

>>27553811
Regular ninetales should be Ghost/Psychic/Dark then

>>27553209

No. It won't.

>>27553864

No.

>>27553916

Yes.

>>27553864
Too late for that.

>>27553811
This. If anything ninetales should be fire/ghost, but fixing that now would be arbitrary. While we're at it, some literal fairies should get retyped, I.e. Celebi, jirachi, manaphy. Never gonna happen tho

>>27553811
Tbh Alola ninetales reminds me a lot of articuno pokedex wise

>>27553326
>become a fairy

It's always this same mistake. I think it's pretty clear by now that all the Pokémon types can be purely "elemental" too, even the ones that supposedly describe what a creature "is", like Dragon, Bug, Ghost and Fairy. See: Oricorio. It is a Ghost element creature without literally being a ghost itself.

>>27553948
>>27553864
why would it be ghost if it's not a literal ghost, like basically every other ghost type?

>>27554274
>what is jellicent
Because it fucking curses people obviously. Did you even read the post I quoted?

>>27554495
Or drifloon, golurk, hoopa, or froslass for that matter. Is giratina a literal ghost? Oricorio?
