I'm all for new types. Removing a ton of the dex is already gonna mess with the meta to an insane degree, might as well go full cuckoo
Personally, I think that if Ice is going to remain the weakest defensive type, then it should clearly be the strongest offensive type. Right now, Ice, as an offensive type, is strong, but you could make the argument that Fighting, Ground and Rock are just as good.

The electric type could still be justified by the pure fact that it's a pikaclone. Pachirisu isn't yellow yet it still looks like an electric type.It's an electric type- yellow's fair enough.
It's also a Pikaclone- looking like Pikachu is a feature, not a bug.
that's Ice Type already
Digital.A type that's SE against Electric, Water, and Ghost, resisted by Ice, Rock, Bug, and Flying, weak to Psychic, Poison, and Bug, and resists Ground, Fairy, and Water. Just make whatever type that is.
Digital would be weak to water :p
If you have to heavily nerf a bunch of Pokemon of one type then clearly it's a problem with the typing itself and not the Pokemon. Adding Fairy type also helped out poison and steel types, which the former especially needed.
stop giving stupid-ass stats to dragons. I get the point of pseudos, but they ain't always gotta be dragon. shit, that's why they had the problem in the first damn place. how about an ice-type pseudo with 100+ speed and attack/special attack?
The idea that Fairy type was necessary to "balance" the game goes out the window when the best type in the game is Steel and the second best is probably Fairy.
Ice type full legends can't even keep up, a psuedo wouldn't help.stop giving stupid-ass stats to dragons.

there's only two at that (or 4, I guess?). I'm sure they can carve out a decent pokemon that doesn't much coddling. I'm still a believerIce type full legends can't even keep up, a psuedo wouldn't help.
Finally a way to finally bring Digimon to the Pokémon universe
Crabominable sucks tho.Ice just does not synergize with other types.
Ice/Fighting or Ice/Electric or Ice/Poison would be kinda neat tho
Forgot about him.
Alola Mons are great!In my defense all the SuMo Pokémon are mostly super forgettable
Can't agree there. Not my favorite dex overall, but they are good for the small number.Forgot about him.

There's a bunch of competitively viable Alolan pokemonWhen the first competitive Alolan Pokémon I think of are Oranguru and Toxapex, yeah, I think the region might have a speed problem.
I know. I was just commenting that the first two I thought of were slow as molasses. Incineroar's pretty slow too.There's a bunch of competitively viable Alolan pokemon
The Tabus, a few Ultra beasts and Mimikyu. Incineroar was the most picked Pokémon at the last Worlds.
Steel traded some defense for more offensive when Fairy was introduced. Losing the resistance to Ghost alone was pretty big.So what your saying is...
...We make another Ice/Dragon?
(Even Kyurem was only base 95 speed, hehe).
Dragons did rule the roost until Fairy came along though by a significant margin.
Why give Steel the super effective though when it was the second best type in the game is questionable though.
I would say there's a solid argument that Water type is either third or fourth in the best type list.
And Ice is the worst, that's unquestionable.
All of the psuedos see far less use than they did pre-Fairy.It also basically had no effect on the Dragon-type pseudos other than colossally fucking over Hydreigon and Kommo'o.
Black and White spoiled meCan't agree there. Not my favorite dex overall, but they are good for the small number.
Gen 7 as a whole were slow as molasses. Loved the designs thoughI know. I was just commenting that the first two I thought of were slow as molasses. Incineroar's pretty slow too.
I mean Gen 5 is easily my favorite, but I really like the gen 7 variety for what's there. The designs feel more "gen5ish" than 6 did.
Yeah, I'd like to see a ghost or poison pseudo.stop giving stupid-ass stats to dragons. I get the point of pseudos, but they ain't always gotta be dragon. shit, that's why they had the problem in the first damn place. how about an ice-type pseudo with 100+ speed and attack/special attack?

Ice's issue is on the defensive end, not offense.btw, would it have helped at all if Ice-type was super effective against Fairy?
also, I think Poison should be super effective against Bug again
Problem about that is that people would just use ice moves on other types because ice would still be trash. Ice resisting fairy though, could workbtw, would it have helped at all if Ice-type was super effective against Fairy?

No one. It's still going on.
This is an old post already, but I quoted it in the morning and forgot to reply lol
I think in the case of Fairy it really was needed, just to fill that empty space of physical and special types (even if that distinction had already been dropped by Gen VI) and because, design-wise Pokémon like Clefairy or Jigglypuff really needed a differentiation from Pokémon like Rattata or Tauros.
I'm not sure about Pokémon like Mr. Mime or Mawile. Not even Gardevoir made sense to me back then, but now I'm used to it. And for example I still believe Chansey needed to be Fairy too. I would've given:
But I guess it makes more sense to have the three being different.
- Clefairy: Fairy
- Jigglypuff: Fairy/Normal
- Chansey: Normal/Fairy
Snubbull and Granbull is another thing I've never understood, even if the category is Fairy Pokémon. It's just I always thought of this new hypothetical type as Light and never thought of Fairy. And in that scenario, Light would've been super effective against Dark, but also Dark super effective against Light.

Dragon was stupidly broken up until Gen 6, to the point where Dragon spam was a valid (and often very effective) strategy in the Gen 5 metagame.The idea that Fairy type was necessary to "balance" the game goes out the window when the best type in the game has been Steel for over a decade and the second best is probably now Fairy.
Fairy is such a ridiculous type that just switching from Normal to Fairy turned Clefable into an absolute monster.
wouldn't chansey be better with evolite?

we're in the endgame now folks
MetagrossWe need a pseudo that isn't dragon type. And while we're at it, a pseudo that doesn't look like it could be dragon type either, like Tyranitar.
