They gave Lucario steel type for having a metal spike on his chest so younsaying that Blastoise should be steel type just becuase of its cannons is just as valid.
@@unwithering5313 Charizard already has solar beam to KO Blastoise especially with Solar Power in the sun. Making him water/steel means that grass and fire would do neural damage to him.
Are we sure Blastoise's cannons are metal? I always just assumed they were made of the same calcification as its shell, as they are growing out of the shell itself and are the same color as the interior and outer rim. Pretty sure it's made out of the shell.
@@kriblar98 No, when I say "calcification" I mean the protein or whatever a turtle's shell is made of. Our fingernails are a calcification. I don't mean anything geological.
Dunsparce would have been fixed just by evolving into drampa, i feel like for what its capable for, normal is very fitting. In that train of thought, also luvdisc evolving alomomola. And im surprised u didnt mention charizard. i know it megaevolves into a dragon, but where mega evolution is not a thing, its still relevant
I'm surprised that you didn't mention that even Gyarados Mega-Evolution didn't fix its problem regarding the typing. I agree overall save for Blastoise. Adding the Steeltype would have "weakened" the Starterpokémon concept as it would have been immune to Venosaurs second type and neutral to Charizard. Not quite what the trio is supposed to be.
Catriam Flockentanz there’s actually a good reason for mega Gayrados being water and dark. In the same legend if the dragon over uses its power then the gods would take away its dragon treats leaving it as a serpent monster
Gyarados has the Dark Type in its mega because it's prone to fiendish acts. It's like Nazeer Sadek said the legend goes on to say that the dragon would be reduced to a serpent if it abused its powers.
@@morphoblu4 No. I'm referring to when you said, "THATS WHERE GRAPPLOCTS MOUTH IS?!!" His mouth location is where real octopuses have their mouth. Sorry for the confusion.
@@slyfox7452 they just started doing that yesterday with the gen 8 fossils and they're probably only not rock type because they're abomination spliced together.
honestly, i wouldn’t even mind if Lucia became Water/Psychic. just make it a water type. heck, you could even go as far as making Ho-Oh a Fire/Psychic type.
Ok, so this is my tbought process on why Porygon isn't Electric type: it's not in the Digital realm. Think about it. sure, maybe it can zip though the internet somehow, but the only way we saw that was in the banned episode and that was with the help of a machine. But my reasons it's normal is because it left that realm and is in ours. It became a normal pokemon.
Porygon is capable of converting its body into digital data and entering cyberspace on its own. It's a man-made Pokemon consisting entirely of programming code. It doesn't breathe and it was made to explore space. It can even detach its head made more apparent with its final evolution Porygon-Z. It learns some electric moves by level up. these reasons alone it should be electric type. However I believe it was made to be normal type because humans created the signature move for it "conversion & conversion 2" which allows it to be any single type anyway.
It would be interesting if Porygon is technically a Normal type in the computer world. If humans made Porygon from data, couldn't they theoretically make more digital Pokemon? What made them give up on the digital Pokemon project after they made Porygon 2? Porygon may simply represent the most "normal" version of a digital man-made Pokemon. It would've been interesting if Porygon-Z wasn't Normal type, though. Or maybe a hybrid. Would've been interesting as a Normal/Poison or Normal/Bug type, given that it's a corrupted, "buggy" version of Porygon-2 that was infested by malware.
@@bugjams they gave up because it was presumably team rocket who was behind it, and also the lab was on cinnabar island which got destroyed by a volcano. That lab was known to have made Mewtwo, Porygon, resurrect Fossil Pokemon, and rumored to have made Ditto. The poison and bug type is creative but overall wouldn't make sense because it's not literal and in Japanese we don't have a bug related word for "buggy computer"
@@bugjams and yes they can make more digital Pokemon theoretically! (what if they did and those are Digimon LOL jk 😋) but the Pokedex states it was made 20 years ago, maybe there are new laws about creating Pokemon now because it seems only evil teams are in the business of creating new Pokemon like Mewtwo, Genosect, type:null & Silvally. I would like to see another digital Pokemon, it seems like rotom is playing that role with being a Pokedex and drone, ect. It's sad because Pokemon has been ignoring Porygon and it's family purposefully because of the tragic incident of episode 38. Maybe that's why they also decided to not pick up with the digital Pokemon idea. But there are theories that Pokemon are digital because they can be stored in PCs and pokeballs. They can at least be converted into energy.
Azurill shouldn't existed in the first place just like Pichu, Cleffa and Igglybuff. Raichu could had Gorochu as his evolution in Gen 2 with added Dark type and all instead of a even weaker version of Pikachu!
Fire/Rock or Fire/Ground. Typhlosion is a volcanic weasel so that makes sense if it become that type Water/Dark or Water/Dragon for Feraligatr Because it has tendency to bite ( we know biting moves back then are Dark types ) and dragonlike.
@@shadowmarauder6033 my bad, i forgot the body bilder/strongman theme that fits the machamp and conqueldur lines aswell as buzzwole, still far from the birds
@@DanielPereira-ey9nt In Japan, the "Fighting" type is more similarly translated to the "Hero" type, and Dark is translated as the "Evil" type. That's why Pangoro, for example, is Fighting/Dark, because it uses "evil", underhanded tactics to fight, but it fights to protect defenseless Pokemon and is based on the same "punk highschool brawler" motif that Jotaro and Josuke from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure are based on (there's a word for it, but it's slipping my mind atm). Basically an anti-hero, or a hero who still resorts to dirty tactics to win. That's why Hawlucha is part Fighting type, and Incineroar is part Dark. Both are wrestlers, but Hawlucha represents the heroic "main character" wrestler that everyone's supposed to root for, and Incineroar is the "heel fighter" wrestler, aka the "bad guy" who always loses. And it's why the Swords of Justice trio are all Fighting type. With _all_ of that out of the way, I agree with your point. At least for Braviary. America is always portrayed as the "big hero who saves the day" (even if it's not always true), especially by Japan (as we've seen with All Might from MHA). Plus, Braviary's counterpart is part Dark type, so it would make sense thematically. Staraptor I could give or take. Would be interesting, especially since it learns Close Combat, but I dunno if the Psychic/Flying/Fairy weaknesses would make up for it. At least it would take neutral damage from Stealth Rock, though.
Yeah, why I also don't get it's the big number of mono type Pokémon in Galar. For regional variats alone: Perrserker: Steel-Dark/Dark-Fighting Corsola/Cursola: Ghost-Rock/Ghost-Water Farfetch'd/Sirfetch'd: Fighting-Flying For the new Pokémon: Gossifleur/Eldegoss: Grass-Fiary Silicobra/Sandaconda: Ground-Poisen Clobbopus/Grapploct: Fighting-Water Sinistea/Polteageist: Ghost-Poisen Falinks: Fighting-Bug Pincurchin: Electric-Water Stonjourner: Rock-Fairy :-)
Or water dragon due to possibly being inspired by the dragon turtle? Though for the longest time I thought he should've atleast gained the steel type when his mega came to be.
Celebi wasn't changed to a Fairy-Type for the same reason Jirachi and Victini weren't, because they're Legendary/Mythical Pokemon and changing types on them just seems wrong (like the starters) PS why wasn't Florges on this list
Porygon is Normal because of its signature moves: Conversion and Conversion 2. The whole purpose of these moves is to change Porygon's type to fit any battle scenario. Most Pokémon with this type change ability are normal type too. Castform and Arceus specifically.
Gyarados would have had no weakness if it had been Dragon/Water. Ice Moves would be not effective on Water, and Dragon would resist Electric and Plant attacks. Furthermore, the only Dragon Move was Dragon Rage at that point. Combine a Monster with incredible Power with no weakness, and you know why it became Water/Flying. 😁
Makes video about Pokemon that should be another type, doesn't mention Charizard which should be Dragon/Fire. PS I think that Darkrai should be Ghost-type and that Mega Absol should be Dark/Fairy
Charizard being part Dragon would ruin the idea of Dragon types being hard to get and it would remove his disadvantage against Blastoise; thus screwing over the balance
I think Darkrai could definitely be dark and ghost, however Absol is a bit of a stretch. Also he stated that Gyrados probably didn't get dragon typing brcause its supposed to be rare so if Charizard had it, it would just be to common.
I would love to see blastoise or its mega form gain the additional steel typing and join the water\steel fully evolved starter club together with empoleon - they are both defensive and it kinda suits them
I mean, Dialga, the God of time, is steel and dragon so I think they could easily replace Celebi's psychic type with fairy without any disservice to its time traveling lore
Fun fact I legit thought Blastoise was steel type until I actually played through Leafgreen with one. Shocked the hell out of me that it stays mono water the whole time... Probably part of why I prefer Bulbasaur now.
Gyarados is pretty common in kanto so makes sense they didn’t give it the dragon type as dragons are supposed to be rare. But in that case Milotic should’ve gotten the dragon type as feebas is CRAZY RARE and hard to evolve too
AwesomEddie's HoroscopeProductions actually no there’s a very good reason why mega Gayrados is a water dark Pokémon. In the same legend of which it’s based on the gods will take away its dragon treats if it abuse its power turning it to a water serpent monster
The thing with Porygon's line being Normal isn't exactly because they are "normal" in the Pokemon world. It's because they don't have any type affinities; especially because there is no canon "Data Type;" which I think would have fit them a lot better than Electric, as they're not really "electrical" at all. They may be data, but data is far different from actual electricity, after all. Like, this video is data on the internet, but it's really not any kind of electricity at all.
Imo the Wooper line could be Water/Poison. On top of looking more like Poison types than Ground types, Wooper is mentioned to possess poison-likr traits in its Pokédex entries.
HoopsandHipHop the best typing I would give Celebi is Psychic for the Primary type and Fairy for the Secondary type as Its strongest power is time travel, while looking like a fairy, is green and its home enviroment is a forest while being the heart of the forest.
If Blastoises bullets were metal then I'll totally agree with the Steel typing. Like how Bullet Seed is a Grass type move. But Blastoise actually sprays water from its cannons.
The only pokemon I think definitely needs a type change is stunfisk. Its type seems just wrong. Porygon line should be electric because their technology data.
@@nazeersadek6705 They won't, since it way too much of a hassle. I will list some sound-based moves for you: Bug Buzz (Makes no sense to change that to a Sound type move, since it literally has Bug in the name). Clanging Scales and Clangorous Soul: Dragon type move, but is Kommo-o exclusive, but they ain't gonna change a Psuedo-legendaries typing permanently, meaning Kommo-o loses STAB for its exclusive moves. Grass Whistle (Grass in the name, won't get changed) Metal Sound (Metal in the name, won't get changed) Overdrive (Is Electric). Is also Toxtricity exclusive. However, they ain't gonna change Toxtricity's typing to Sound, since then the name doesn't make sense anymore, since its literally a combination between Toxic and Electricity. Snarl (Dark type move, stays that way because it makes sense). Sparkling Aria (Primarina exclusive move in gen 7, but they ain't gonna change Primarina's typing and let it lose a STAB move, especially if you also take away Disarming Voice). So that means only the Normal type moves can be changed into Sound based moves, but considering only Hyper Voice, Boomburst, Echoed Voice and Round do damage, i don't see the point why they will change Sing for example. Sound type adds literally nothing we don't already have.
Nick den Toom well I agree with what you wrote about the moves but when it comes to typing then it would be very interesting since it will work the same way sound travels in real world watch MJTV video about the types he wants gamefreak to add in the future he explains the sound one very well
@@a-bomb777 octopoda _is_ on Wikipedia It's just the scientific name (the Greek plural) Which I personally deem more correct, because if it was Latin, people would say 'octopi' is more correct But it's Greek And in Greek It's octopoda Edit: just wanted to mention that the common octopus has a name that's also half Greek half Latin, so it's not that weird or rare (octopus vulgaris)
The explanation of porygon being normal type is because it is based on technology and technology means advancement, the discovery of fire was technology and that doesn't have to do with electricity and advancements are really normal for the human kind
Grapploct being found by water/in water is weak argument, since Muk could also be fished up in gen 1. SOOO.... by that logic, Muk should be part Water as well. Your'e reasoning for Porygon i can understand, but then you need to look at other potential Man-Made Pokemon as well in this case. Take Ditto for example: Its a failed Mew-Clone (Clone means Man-Made), and its Normal typed. Castform is Man-Made, and is also Normal type. Some Pokemon not being a certain type can easily be put under balancing reasons: In gen 1, we already had Starmie and the Slowpoke line as Water/Psychic lines (And for both, it makes sense as well). I also think Psyduck was initially supposed to be one of the side mascots, alongside Pikachu and Clefairy, who are both single typed because Psyduck is Masuda's favorite Pokemon. Honestly though, there are so many Pokemon that could have been another type, even in the later generations.
About Gyarados: Um actually...Gyarados is based on a kite that are based on the legendary story of a fish turning to a dragon. So not just the story itself but the Kite-thing mostly.. So flying make sense.
Magikarp and Gyarados’s whole gimmick in Gen 1: was to give those players who committed to Magikarp a treat, giving a powerful beast of a Pokémon in Gyarados so Dragon actually would of actually made sense to make it more powerful! Especially if they made it Lvl30 - 35 to evolve instead of Lvl. 20
It would be cool if Celebi did change to Fairy, but got a new ability that gives it stab on pyschic attacks as well because of its control over time and other psychic traits. This could also work with Jirachi. But given how great their standard abilities are, I doubt this would work. Even though it would tie the lore up well with in game traits.
They should make dunsparce evolve into a ground/ flying type or to have a split evolution where it become normal ground and the other become normal flying.
Gyrados and Charizard didn't get the Dragon-type as water and fire helps defends against their main weakness of Ice and we only had one Dragon move, Dragon rage which does a set 40 damage so it wouldn't be super effective making these two op if they were part dragon.
@@nazeersadek6705 Probably too much reprogramming compared to other Pokémon, Both Charizard and Gyrados had their second type but others such as Gardevoir only had one type. It's easier to add a second type than to change one type that's why in the second gen, Magnamite and Magneton was given the steel type as they were purly electric in gen 1.
riicky83 that still doesn’t excuse them not to do it they can literally hire more programs on contracts basis if they don’t want to expand their staff roaster. We’re talking about Pokémon for crying out loud the franchise is worth more than billion $ and they literally print money with everything that has the Pokémon logo to it. Home being the best example
@@nazeersadek6705 Well Charizard got his dragon type with Mega X but I guess they lost interest with Gyrados as they made it lose flying for dark with its mega.
riicky83 except there’s actually a really good reason for mega Gayrados to be water and dark. In the same mythology if the dragon abuse its power then the gods will punish it by taking away its dragon treats so it will become a water serpent monster
Now that Farfetch'd has gotten both a galarian form and an evolution so now it is Dunsparce's turn to get something. I think it can stay a Normal type as long as it's evolution makes a total 180. Becomes a Ground/Dragon type! Those wings get bigger, it's tail drill gets bigger and those fangs! It could become the most badass Pokemon yet. And it should evolve at level 70!!!
One that I don’t think people talk about enough is Kommo-o. Why is it dragon/fighting, instead of dragon/steel? It’s whole thing is that, as stated by the Pokédex entries, it is “armored in steel scales” which it can use to attack by creating “metallic sounds”. There’s nothing about it that would suggest it would be fighting type, besides the fact that it fights. Which describes, like, half of all Pokémon. It only learns one fighting move through leveling up, versus two for steel, though it can learn more for both through tms. Even it’s signature move Clanging Scales would make much more sense as a steel move than dragon, with its “metallic sound”. It’s almost like they just made it dragon/fighting type just so that they could say they made a dragon/fighting type Pokémon.
I walkways figured Chansey and the rest of their line wasn’t Fairy because Fairy is like a mischievous type - especially with the direction of feels like they’re taking it with Gen 8.
Yeah there are mischievous trickster Fae fairy types like whimsicott or klefki, but Fairy is very much a caregiving type with mons like Florges, Comfey, Azumarill (saves drowning pokemon) Gardevoir (devoted knight living to protect its master) or Mega Audino. Tbh fairy type has always been kind of a hard to define mess thematically
I think of Porygon being normal as a beam of light hitting a prism. Dark Side if the moon style. All types together = white/normal. Since types are associated with colors.
I also do wonder why having 3 types have not been implemented since x/y since some Pokemon like Gourgeist have trick or treat that adds a ghost type. The technical mechanic is there
Gyrados being Dragon-type is such a great idea, don't know why it's never been implemented. It works w/ the evo line's lore, and it would be such a cool surprise for the Magikarp trainers.
I feel like rock water would be better for blastoise, because it won’t screw over venusaur (Grass is 4x effective,) but will help against charizard. (Rock would be 4x effective on charizard) making blastoise (pun not intended) a glass cannon, giving the player a more interesting choice. Charizard, able to be immune to ground Venusaur, unable to be poisoned Blastoise, glass cannon. Atleast I think that would be neat anyway...
In Porygon's sake, I wish Cyber was a real type. Super effective against normal, ghostand fight, thanks to being a software bug and ghostbusting abilities, but weak against electricity or something, due to shortages.
I would be down for a Water/Steel Mega Blastoise, it's a heavily underused type combo, but the ones I agree with most on this list are Gyarados, Lugia, Clobbopus + Grapploct, and Psyduck + Golduck. I can accept the "early generation mechanics" argument for Gyarados, Lugia, and the ducks, but the octopi get several Water moves, and Clobbopus can be encountered in the water; why are they not Water/Fighting?
G-man isn't dragon because it'd be too OP in RBY, with Dragons only weakness being Dragon and Ice, it'd neutralize Ice attacks, taking away one of its only two weaknesses. Why they didn't give Gyarados the typing, later on, is probably the same reason. But that's purely speculation based on observation.
I think Lucario should be Fighting/Psychic. It would resemble the concept of the perfect fighter, thus being physically strong (Fighting Typ) and mentaly fit (Psychic Typ). Not to mention it has a higher Special Attacke and learns Psychic.
Gyarados not being Dragon is definitely balancing, but that aside, lore wise it isn't. Lore says it was to be Dragon but it was stripped of its dragon parts due to it going on a rampage. Chansey line not being Fairy is 100% balancing.
I sort of feel like Skitty and Chansey should have gotten the half fairy treatment, of only because pink seems to = fairy. Even Audino becomes half fairy when it mega evolves. Also... why isn't Ninetales psychic? Half its Pokedex entries are about it having a mysterious/psychic power. I guess for balancing and because it's counterpart is Arcanine but...
Butterfree, or at least Mega Butterfree, should have been Bug/Psychic instead of Bug/Flying due to its moveset being very Psychic-heavy. Also, Noctowl should have been Flying/Psychic and not Normal/Flying. It's an owl AKA symbol of wisdom!
Lugia being Water/Flying would have been a big nerf imo. Also why does everyone wants hin to be Water? Lugia is also kinda based on a Dragon and him living in the Ocean is barely an argument, because the Dratini line does too and no even cares about their lack of the Water-Type.
blastoise makes alot of sense as to why it should also be steel type especially when you look at Empoleon who is a water steel type and its only got some steel parts on it (claws etc) . also some of the pokemon in the list like celebi will never get changed as due to already having their two types set sowouldnt make sense to be changed. addin a type is more likely than changing completely (its why adding fairy type worked out well as all they had to do was add it to the singular type each pokemon was already).
Moist well dark type could be evil, vicious or edgy and I’m not saying it should be like that i meant if they were to change its typing then psychic dark would be great for it
In my opinion on Shelmet's typing, I also believe that its evolution Accelgor should be Bug/Fighting type. First, it would be more fitting if it also gains a secondary type upon its evolution just like its rival Escavalier. Second, fighting type makes sense for Accelgor because of its ninja theme.
Gyadrados is a DISHONOURED dragon that essentially got its dragon powers striped from it because it gave into rage which is why its mega is a dark type so that ones a lore reason
I agree Blastoise should've been part steel. And the Porygon line would be great as electric. And my precious boy Dunsparce got cheated D: He could've been a ground, flying or even a dragon with evolutions! D:
Golduck isn't psychic because it doesn't WANT to rely on its psychic powers. All his psychic potential has done since it was a Psyduck was give it nasty headache. So once it evolves and gets that gem to store his psychic power, it's all like "I'm glad that's over. Now I can just live my normal ducky life."
Graploct is the Jiujitsu Pokemon, that's why is not water type, and training Jiujitsu with a good fighter, it's like you're wrestling with an octopus hahahaha
about gyarados, if you wouldve checked the origin of the myth of the dragon gate, you would see that if said dragon will use his powers for evil, the dragon(basicly god in eastern mythology) title will be taken away from him and will leave him as a flying serpent(thats why the flying type). check his pokedex entry, it`s not the kind hearted, all loving pokemon, its the atrocious pokemon. and this is also the reason he gets the dark(evil) typing on mega evolution.. thats an evil snake, bud..
I love the fact that people had been complaining that Gyarados wasn't a Dragon type for years and then when it gets a mega-evolution and changes type it's a freaking DARK TYPE, LOL!!! It's sort of like GameFreak is screaming at the fans ,,THIS ISN'T A DRAGON"
Porygon should be electric, hell in my platinum game I used him as my electric type instead of luxray or magnezone I’ve used both and it should be electric
I think Blastoise not being steel makes sense. Looking at other steel types, their biology revolves around metal either externally(ei Steelix) or internally (Lucario). Blastoise's cannon are the only thing on it that it metallic, and they are retractable. The shell itself isnt mate of steel, so it wouldn't, say, be bent by a fighting type or melt by fire. I think I have a good explaination for why the Porygon family is normal. Since Porygon us artificial, It could have be designed to not have electrical properties in some ways. It's made of data, so that data could really be anything, even take a form that can reduce the otherwise damaging ground type attack. This is my idea of Cinversion and Cinversion 2, that Potygon is changing its physical makeup to match that of other types.
