![]() ![]() So now we have Fire, Water, Ice, Earth (Ground), Rock, Wood (Grass), Metal (Steel), Poison and Dark. Dark has always been kind of iffy to me, as darkness refers to the absence of something rather than the presence of something and I feel the way it is meant to represent evilness is silly, but an argument could be made for including it here so lets just get it in too. I have no specific problems with Poison, so lets invite Poison too. Adhering to Wu Xing also lets us bring in Steel, though as with Grass, it should be renamed as steel refers to a specific type of metal. Lets go with Wu Xing here and rename it Wood. Grass could fit in, but grass refers to a family of plants and is thus weirdly specific. Rock can get in on the action at this point too through similar reasoning as for Ice. Ground is in too, but should probably be renamed to ∞arth. Ice is a form of water and can also jump in. ![]() Despite that, Ill say elements are still a decent concept to base types on, so lets see what other types we could make sense of here.įire and Water are nice and simple enough. But the Steel type was not introduced until the second generation of POKéMON and the weaknesses / strengths of these types for / against each other do not match up with the concept of cycles related to the Chinese elements. Now this looks like something we can match up with some POKéMON types we have Fire, Water, Ground ( Earth ), Steel ( a Metal ) and Grass ( sorta kinda Wood ). The Chinese elements are as follows Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood. Maybe they based it on the Chinese elements ( Wu Xing ), which do not include Air / Wind or Aether / Void. Also, please dont take this too seriously. Ill start with some types that make sense and move forward from that.ĭISCLAIMER : Before we actually get properly started, I want to make clear Im talking mostly about the names and flavour of the types, not their actual gameplay implications. ![]() Its also kind of sort of relevant with the reveal of the typing of the two new Sun / Moon legendary POKéMON and the revelation that the Sun Legendary is weak to Fire ( haha, what? ) and the Moon Legendary is weak to Dark and Ghost ( both things related to the night ). You know, because this is the best thing I can do with my time and why not have some fun.w. ![]() Instead of shrugging that off and moving on with more important things, I decided that I should definitely make a thread about it instead. If you plan on Evolving Froakie into a Frogadier and then into a Greninja you can also catch a Frogadier from the Water Type Friend Safari as an alternative to breeding or trading.So theres 18 POKéMON types ( the original 15 + Dark, Steel and Fairy introduced in later generations ) and lately it occurred to me that they dont really sense in some ways, specifically in the naming of some of the types. If you really want a Froakie with a different name you could always breed the Froakie Shauna give you with any Pokémon in this Egg Group or trade for another one online. The Pokémon that you receive from Shauna has a fixed OT, ID Number, Nature, Ability, Level and Nickname. No you cannot change the name of the Pokémon that Shauna give you after you defeat the Champion in Pokémon X and Y. Yes you can change the name of a Pokémon in Pokémon X and Y providing that it is your Pokémon and it is on it's Original Game. ![]()
