Title: You know what we need?
Post by: Rayquarian on May 31, 2010, 05:27:01 PM
A pokémon sort of like the personification of everything evil in the world.  They say that there's no such things as evil pokémon (bar the Evil Fox pokémon).  Well, I'd like to see one that's representative of evil.

Eh....when it came out, Darkrai was the epitome of evil, but it was changed in the Rise of Darkrai movie. I however think it's still evil, as seen in the mystery dungeon series.

Mewtwo wanted to raise a clone army to kill every living thing on the planet... until Ash died and made him all nice and stuff. Can't blame him, though; Ash dying can make anyone cheer up.

I've always thought that the 666th Pokémon should be something of a Dark-Fire Type, but stand upright like a Fighting or--some--Psychic Types. Maybe it could carry a little black stick or something for a spear. I don't think that that's that outlandish (yes, that's grammatically correct), as we've seen other Pokémon carry weapons and other items before (e.g. Kadabra, Alakazam, Farfetch'd, technically Smeargle, Cubone, and Marowak).

Then again, Pokémon of America might not allow something blatantly evil. :(

They allowed Ash, didn't they.  ;) :| :(

Seriously though, I definitely can't see that happening. This isn't Digimon, you know.

Digimon did have some awesomely evil monsters though. Maybe Pokémon can do something similar...?

Eh, I don't know... Digimon are more of a civilized group, with humans battling with good ones against evil ones to save the world in the same way they would team up with and fight against good and evil humans. Pokemon, on the other hand, I've always seen more as animals, except in certain cases such as Mewtwo and Arceus.

I see your point, but I was just talking about the Pokémon franchise making a Pokémon that looked as evil as some of the Digimon out there.

In other words, Pokémon franchise + Digimon aesthetics influence = evil-looking Pokémon

Nope, Gyarados was originally just Water type, then when G/S came out and introduced Dual typing and Dragon types he was a Water/Dragon. Like how Bulbasaur was just Grass type in R/G/Y.

?_?

Um... I just checked Bulbapedia, Serebii, Smogon, Wikipedia, Pojo, and a variety of random sites on Google, and they all agree that even in the oldest games, Bulbasaur was Grass/Poison and Gyarados was Water/Flying. Oh, and Dragon has always been around too.

Houndeath sounds too obvious and it doesn't sound catchy at all to me.

And maybe #666 can be demonic, and if it's a legendary, Houndoom is like it's minion, not a minion, but... hard to explain my meaning, but a Houndoom/Houndour would be a big part of the story if it were like that.

Well, we're only 107 away, and the lowest number a gen has ever added was 100 in 2nd gen, so I'd say we are almost guaranteed to break 600 in 5th gen.

Dragon is no more an original type that Ghost, Dark, Bug, or Poison. Or, for that matter, Rock or Steel. Or Ice. Or Flying. There was Ground, Fighting, Electric, Water, Fire, Grass, Psychic, and the Normal catch all. Then, in Gen II when they divided up most of the types(i.e., Ground into Rock, Ground, and Steel, Water into Water and Ice(and, arguably, Dragon), Grass into Grass, Bug, and Poison, Psychic into Psychic, Ghost, and Dark, Normal into Normal and Flying) and gave Pokemon dual typing, Gyarados was Water/Dragon. However, in Gen I, Bulbasaur, due to the lack of dual typing, was just Grass type.

If the need arises, I can take/post pics of dual-typing in Pokemon Stadium, as thats the only Gen 1 game I own. Gen 2 just made more Pokemon dual-typed, like Magnemite. (still hate that to this day)

Pre-Post Edit: Guess I don't need to.

What the heck are you talking about?!?!?

So since Poison and Ice didn't exist back then, why does this Pokemon Stadium 1 fight have Blizzard as an attack? And how come Earthquake is super effective against Nidoking?


And what the heck type is Dragonair in this battle against Lance the DRAGON tamer to where Dragonite can super-effective it with ICE BEAM?! And what type is Dragonite to where Nidoking can get super effective with ROCK SLIDE?


Look dude, I have no idea where the heck you're getting your info from, but dual typing has always existed, as have all types except for Dark and Steel, both of which were 2nd gen inventions. Bulbasaur has always been Grass/Poison, Gyarados has always been Water/Flying, Dragonite has always been Dragon/Flying... I'd really really like to know who told you this crap. Also, if you get the chance, go back and play them yourself; they were the best anyway.
Title: Re: You know what we need?
Post by: Rius on June 10, 2010, 04:39:53 PM
Umm... what? Dual types have always existed. The only change in Gen II was the addition of Steel and Dark, and that was because Psychic was too God-mode. As for Gyarados, it was always Water/Flying; there are strong hints that it would have been Dragon type, but the addition of Dragon at the end of the development process and the fact that Gyarados would have had no weaknesses (since Dragon Rage was the only Dragon-type move) nullified that idea. There were some changes in type effectiveness, like Bug no longer weak to Poison, but that shouldn't have confused anyone to these scales.

I'm pretty sure that Bug Types are weak to Poison. It's been that way since Generation III at least and I'm pretty sure that's it's always been that way. I basically agree with everything else though.




Maybe Night is somehow talking about the TCG? In that case, there were only the types of Fire, Water (which includes Ice), Grass (which includes Poison and Bug), Electric, Fighting (which includes Ground and Rock), Colorless (also called Normal, which includes Flying and Dragon), and Psychic (which includes Ghost). Dark and Steel were added to the TCG the same time as the games.

Bug moves aren't very effective against Poison types. Poison types deal normal damage to Bug types.

Ground, Fighting, Electric, Water, Fire, Grass, Psychic, and Normal...those are the types from the TCG, not from the actual game.  Of course the TCG would only have that many types to start with.  Imagine trying to fix 15 types into a TCG.
