What if Pokémon Were Only a Single Type?

Out of the hundreds of Pokémon across the series a great many of them combine different types together to form unique pairings, however what if didn't? What if, by some fluke or limitation, Pokémon were only allowed to be defined by a single type? How would that change some of our most beloved pocket monsters and influence how they interact with the world?

@BlueDavrial 16 дней назад

Ive never understood people disliking the Normal/Flying bird typing. The Normal Type is clearly the "this is a normal animal but its a Pokemon" type. I wonder if people wouldnt rally against ti so much if it was simply renamed to "Beast" or "Life" type. IMO Chimecho should have been the first pure Flying. Didnt need to be Psychic at all

@emperorcubone 16 дней назад

I think it's more just the fact that it makes Flying impossible to be its own type, always being tied to something else, and the sheer volume of Normal/Flying that we get ALL the time is exhausting...

@BlueDavrial 15 дней назад

@@emperorcubone The problem isnt with the birds tho, it's with the lack of creativity with flying types. Again, Chimecho could have been pure flying. We could have had a pure flying balloon pokemon without it being a ghost like Drifloon. We could have a cloud that's pure flying. Personally i dont think Rookidee should be pure Flying because it's still a regular animal, but at the very least it's vastly more colorful and exaggerated than the more normal looking Normal/Flying birds, so i can understand it. There's plenty of things that could be pure flying type. But (non-elemental) birds are inherently normal animals to a degree, so of course they're going to be Normal type too. TL;DR: People should be upset at the lack of NON-BIRD Flying types that COULD be pure flying, instead of being upset that a normal bird is Normal type too.

@adam.n-steve 15 дней назад

The reason why most birds in early games are normal/flying is likely to avoid making fighting types difficult to play against but also a lot of these birds tend to be early route Pokemon so the normal as their first typing would make them "simpler" or "basic" and thus, becoming a tradition until they needed to add a little more spice where they final evos wouldn't be normal/flying and a different dual typing.

@nevets1726 16 дней назад

@emperorcubone 16 дней назад

@thepigvillage1197 16 дней назад

Hey, Emperor Cubone! I have a video idea for you! With the games having so many types that are used for multiple purposes these days, what if we split them in twain? Instead of having just Normal type to refer to both regular tetrapods (like Stoutland) and things that have type-based gimmicks (or are Porygon), we could have both a Normal type and a Special type for those purposes! We could also have: - Fire and Lava - Water and Aquatic - Electric and Technical - Steel and War - Grass and Fungus - Insect and Arachnid (to replace having Bug as a catch-all) - Rock and Fossil - Ground and Mineral (with Mineral being things like Sandygast, Claydol, and Geodude that are made of earthy materials and Ground being things like Sandslash, Cubone, and Groudon that spend their life manipulating the ground or living under/in it without being composed of ground themselves) - Mythic and Sweet (to replace Fairy with a type for mythical creatures like Jigglypuff and Florges from sweet things like Slurpuff and Aromatisse) - Shadow and Evil (to replace Dark and distinguish between Pokémon that represent darkness (like Darkrai) vs. evil (like Houndoom)) - Fighting and Hero (to distinguish between fighting Pokémon that are neutral (like Timburr) vs. heroic (like Gallade)) - Ghost and Soul (to separate ghosts that come from living things (like Gastly) and things with ghost-like properties and abilities (like Giratina)) - Psychic and Cosmic - Wind and Bird (to replace Flying and especially distinguish things with bird abilities (like Dodrio) versus wind powers (like Tornadus base form), the moves are especially confusing in this regard (like Peck and Whirlwind)) - Poison and Acid - Ice and Arctic (because yes, having ice powers is not usually the same thing as living in a cold climate. in fact most things in a climate don't usually have the ability to manipulate that element, bug and normal types in forests are a prime example) - Dragon and Beast (because not all powerful beasts or even all pseudolegendaries are actually reptilian as 'dragon' implies) It would be pretty cool if you did a video looking through these ideas, sharing your own, and determining which of these types should be split or would be beneficial to the series if split!

@emperorcubone 16 дней назад

Hmm, in theory more type variety would be nice but I'm not the biggest fan of sub-categories of the same type, like "Wood" type isn't needed because Grass covers that, PLUS flowers, PLUS tumbleweeds, etc. Like how Earthbending has stone, sand, metal, and even lava as molten rock under its umbrella, they didn't need to create entire new classes of bending. So I'm not a huge fan of the concept as a whole, however it could still be fun to parse out the distinctions within such an exercise!

@thepigvillage1197 16 дней назад

Yeah, I think the main benefit to this would be in creating greater diversity in type where it's logical to have it, like giving Ariados a type advantage against would-be Insect-types like Caterpie since they have a predator-prey relationship, or making it so Pokemon like Castform could be Special- and Wind-type instead of being limited to Normal because no other type makes sense for its type-switching mechanic. In the sun, it would be Fire- and Wind-type, in the rain, it would be Water- and Wind-type, and in the snow, it would be Ice- and Wind-type, and I think that would give it more resistances and an extra STAB-type for its weather-based attacks and would make it overall better (you know, without giving it the weaknesses of our would-be Bird-type like Rock, Electric, and Fire, because Wind wouldn't be weak to those things) There are a lot of things to consider here, and plenty of them might be less viable of changes than others, but there are plenty of examples where it could make Pokémon that are otherwise not viable the chance to shine as members of a new type! Another example is that Victreebel would be Grass/Acid type instead of Grass/Poison type in this exercise, which would further set it apart from Vileplume and Venusaur and probably make it actually viable! Acid would also apply to classics like Swalot and Garbodor (who I think would make a fitting Poison/Acid type) and a prime distinguisher between Poison and Acid would probably be that Acid is super-effective against Steel while Steel is immune to Poison. Psychic and Cosmic being separate would probably help balance Psychic and Fairy out by giving Psychic fewer legendary Pokémon and giving Fairy something new that could potentially resist it. I think this is an idea worth exploring for sure, even if not every one of them would pan out super well. It could also lead into a discussion of which types have too many Pokemon that don't make sense to categorize together, a discussion on the workings of the type system, and just general interesting dilemmas to discuss. I agree that too many types is just as much of a problem as too few types, if not more, but I don't think we need to be capped at 18 specifically, and there are a few places where splitting one of our broad types into two less broad types could be beneficial!

In Pokémon Shuffle, each Pokémon can only be one type, which leads to oddities like shiny Charizard and Tyranitar being different types than their normal colors.

@kirbymasterdeluxe 16 дней назад

It took me until LITERALLY yesterday to consider how many mono-type Pokemon there are in the first generation, then how much it falls in later generations. That said, I think the number is acceptable, having just less than 20 fully evolved lines in the ninth generation.

I think flying types were always given a dual type because they lose the flying when they use roost, and it just became convention even after it stopped being necessary.

@ledcads 16 дней назад

Flying should be an attribute detached from types and the flying type should be retconned to air type. Flying/airborne vs. earthbound should be inherent to species. Pokémon like magnezone or weezing make all the sense to be airborne without being flying/air type. Pokémon like Exploud could gain the air type due to the connection to sound, but it makes no sense for it to be flying type and should have an earthbound attribute.

@douglasandrews8977 15 дней назад

Incidentally, this actually happened in the "Pokémon Ranger" spinoff series. Also, it looks like you were trying to disregard post-Generation I Pokémon as much as possible here, but how would Bellossom already being pure Grass affect Gloom keeping Poison (especially considering that Oddish keeps Grass in this hypothetical scenario)? I also do not mind Poliwrath being Fighting and think that it makes sense, being muscular and all, although I find it ridiculous that Politoed is not also dual-type despite resembling Poliwhirl less than Poliwrath does. Way back in the day, I envisioned it becoming Water-Grass (I was thinking of lily pads and probably also that it was green), although you went for Water-Psychic for it in the "all dual-type" series in 2021.

@cloegemmel7177 14 дней назад

@@emperorcubone A lot of it’s Dex entries talk about it’s bravery and fighting spirit, and it’s said to become a much stronger fighter after evolving, so my first instinct would be to say it gains the Fighting type. This is a bit hampered by the fact that somehow Marowak learns no Fighting type moves via levelling, however it can through TMs and can learn Double Kick if one of its parents is from the Nidoking line. Giving it the Fighting type would also make sense in context of its animosity against Mandibuzz, Fighting vs Dark. Alolan Marowak is already incredibly interesting in terms of its typing. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any other Pokémon that doesn’t keep at least one typing from its previous stage (Eevee excluded because of unstable DNA). I feel like it would be a bit of a cop-out to give it the Ground type, even though it still knows a lot of Ground type moves, so my choice would be giving it the Dark type. This is because it evolves at night, and its Dex entries talk about it being vengeful and its flames being cursed. Curses definitely feel more Dark/evil to me, rather than Ghost. So yes, those are my choices.

@nickdentoom1173 16 дней назад

Yeah, you can live in the water without being a Water type itself... we have one in the exact same region as well with Muk. Onix should be Ground type actually, since Steelix is Ground/Steel. Yes... in this series it would lose Ground anyways and become part Steel, but either way i think Onix should be Ground type regardless. I would flip Rhyhorn to the Rock type actually. The line can learn Lighting Rod, which imo makes no sense since its already a Ground type anyways and it having Lightning Rod as a Rock type makes more sense in my mind, since then Electric would be neutral and it would make the Rhyhorn line see more usage as well, being some sort of ace in the hole against Electric types. While i can see where you are coming from with Scyther, you have to take into consideration Scizor is a Bug type in Gen 2, so Scyther losing Bug over Flying doesn't make much sense to me anyways, especially since Scyther in gen 1 is also considered a counterpart to Pinsir. I mean... take the Flying type away from the Legendary birds is the only option anyways, considering their Japanese names are Freezer (Articuno), Thunder (Zapdos) and Fire (Moltres) It would be fun to see you do this with every generation.... however... gen 8 would be funny with Toxtricity (Which literally has both types in the name).
