Why didn't they use SM as an opportunity to introduce

triple types would be overkill

kill yourself

>>28094960
Triple types would just be too complicated for children, anon.

They should make Garchomp a Dragon/Ground/Flying type :^)

>>28094960
>Normal/Ghost/Dark type
>4 immunities

This trend continues until every pokedex looks like a Final Fantasy identify screen, and each mon is simply a % of each type.

40% Bug, 40% electric, 16% flying, 4% steel

That would be dumb.

Maybe that's Marshadow's "unique typing"

>3x option for STABS
>potential x8 weakness
>just being confusing

should focus more on dual type moves or 5th move options

Bewear Normal/Fighting/Fairy

>why didn't they use SM to completely kill the pokemon franchise

Gee, I wonder.

>triple types

Kill anyone who wants this.

If anything, more diverse dual types and throw in some mono types for the ones that are lacking.

GF is forgetting that not every pokemon needs to be dual type.

Why would solgaleo be fire? Solgaleo has as much reason to be fire as solrock, sunkern and sunflora.
That being said, what if rockruff's secret is that his (and the staters) evos have triple type:
>Beltigre: fire/dark/fighting
>Robinhoot: grass/flying/steel
>Popmaid: water/fairy/psychic

>Insect/Steel/Ice type
>Grass type added by Forest's Curse
>Dry Skin Ability
>x32 weakness to fire

>>28094960
Don't forget that it is possible already to get triple types in the game with Forest's Curse and Trick-or-Treat

>>28094960
not triple types


but double same type could have been interesting

double stab, double weakness, double resistance

>>28095004
Not with that new mechanic that tells you what attacks are super effective.

I'd rather them Implement more abilities that gives Type moves STAB or resistance of Moves than add another type.

Water Asorb on a Fire/Ground would be neat

Or a Ability that give stab for Bug types for Drapion would be cool

>>28095254

Just ditch psychic. It's ridiculous with how many psychic legendaries we have.

>>28095247
That's true, I forgot! Does it tell you the magnitude of the weakness? 2x vs 4x etc?

>>28095246
I've played with this idea in many fan games, and I think it's a bit overkill to double things. If a Pokemon is doubly-typed, I think it should get 50% more weakness and 50% more resistance, and immunities are unchanged. No bonus to STAB

>>28095327
But they're designed to be Psychic types. They aren't designed to be fucking fire or fairy types at all.

Get the fuck over yourself.

>>28094960

it's like you think that the sun is made of fire.
The sun is made of Steel :^)

They still might. It will simply be limited to one or two Pokémon for now.

Why didn't they introduce quadruple types in gen 8?

>>28095393
I think you're a degenerate.

>>28095389
If they ever give a mon three types they should do it with an ability. Basically automatically applying the effects of Forest's Curse/Trick or Treat/any clone to the Pokemon.

>>28094960

I'd be okay with 3 types if it were only for one legendary.

>>28095125
Basically this. Would be cool.

I like how you didn't just apply both those reasons to both of them. You did give me good setup to point out how stupid your argument is.

Solgaleo isn't fire and Lunala isn't a fairy you stupid fuck

Fairy/Steel/Dragon with Levitate

I don't care about triple types, but I want them to make Normal a completely neutral type. No immunities, no weaknesses, no x2 damage. Neutral on the entire chart.

You can already have three type shenanigans with Forest's Curse.

Beedrill and Venomoth should be Bug/Poison/Flying

Spiritomb should be Ghost/Dark/Rock.

>>28096003
Lightning Rod will be better (immunity to paralysis except with glare)
It would just have to worry about earthquake. Make the pokemon able to learn Ice Beam and it's literally invincible

>>28095227
Actually Dry Skin add +25% damage so it's x20 weakness to fire.

>>28095863

>>28095508

Literally another type except you don't get to see it ingame.

>>28095743
>>28095791
It's probably the second most speculated and second easiest type to implement, behind Sound.

>>28096230
No weaknesses or resistances. No STAB either, so would have to make up for it with good stats and/or a diverse movepool.

>>28095989

>>28096028

Let's face it, at this point it would in 95% cases be adding flying to pokes that can fly but have two other types already. Scizor, Heracross, Beedrill, Flygon...

>>28094960
Triple Types would be such an easy thing to implement. Just make super effective moves cap at x4 and nve moves cap at x0.25 so it doesn't become OP. They could really market it by making it "special" and give it to certain Pokémon like Solgaleo and Lunala.

What does it matter? Everyone already checks what type the mon is if they're not sure. Doing this just saves the trouble of a google search mid-battle.

They could make it so that effectiveness adds up instead of multiplying.

So you'd potentially get 6x weakness instead of 8x. Seems more reasonable to me.

Pokemon abilities already work as a third typing in some respects.

The alternate forms based on region is the better direction to go in.

>>28094960

no, just no

>>28095741
Because even though Minior is based off a meteor, its in game lore states that it's formed in the atmosphere.

>>28094960
There should be something like "trace types" where a Pokemon is given small traces of a certain type based on its appearance or something. For instance, Pokemon like, say, Granbull would have trace amounts of the Steel type. The trace type would add a small boost/benefit to certain moves, but I haven't really put a whole lot of thought into it yet. Then again, abilities have a similar function already so I don't know.

>>28099564
>Granbull
>Steel type
Fucking why?

>>28099606
Ha. I'm sorry, I could not fucking think of anything. My nerves are shot after a shitty day's work. Let's see, what about Dragon as a trace type for Gyarados? Better example?

>>28096060
Fluffy could work too

>>28097826
Better yet, instead of Cosmic add a new triangle:
「Gravity」, 「Time」 and 「Heaven」

>>28094960
I think 3-type pokemons could work but they shouldn't be normal. Have only some Legendary pokemon be 3-type

>>28094960
I'm guessing it would be too confusing.

Instead maybe they should change the mechanic, that a dual type Pokemon has a primary type, and a secondary type, and that it takes more depending on which is which.

So like a Pokemon like Gligar is Ground Flying, his primary is Ground so it would take the regular SE damage on that, however Flying would be secondary so SE moves would only do .5x extra damage instead of double. So an Ice move would do 2.5x more damage, while a fighting type move would do .75, or maybe .66.

This would really change the dynamic of every single Pokemon. Some would benefit greatly from this [Pokemon that tend to have 2 really shitty types, would not longer be AS shitty, like Parasect for example].

>using 16x weaknesses or 0.25x resistances as a reason not to implement triple-type pokemon or double-type moves
>being this retarded

Well obviously the extra types wouldn't be given to something if it fucks shit up like that, use your brains. Giving the Dragon type to Charizard and Gyarados doesn't mean GameFreak are gonna suddenly shit out a Grass/Ice/Bug/Steel type Dry Skin Pokemon that only knows Sunny Day and a Fire/Rock/Flying type Adaptability Pokemon that knows the move Flying Volcano Rocks.

>>28094960
the weaknesses/resistances alone of some typings would be chaotic. can also be very confusing for kids. and if i'm not retarded, that's like 18x17x16 new possible type combinations. hell no. we don't even have all of the possible 2-type combinations yet.

>>28097871
I think Teddiursa and Ursaring are meant to be a play on the Ursa Minor and Ursa Major costellations, respectively.
