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.

Idea: completely changing all types of Pokemon from Gen 1. I think this would be super hard. Example: Charmander could be dragon type, Pidgey leans into sand attack and sand moves as a ground type, and Rattata could be like Poison or dark type.

This is great but I got 2 small problems with your choices. 1. Scyther should be a bug, it's a preying mantis. 2. There would have to be a poison stone introduced because it would be odd to have poison types evolve via leaf stone.

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.

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.

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!

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

Ай бұрын

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!

Please continue this with Gen 2 and beyond

Rhydon line being rock would kinda make more sense because I feel like their thick skin looks to be made of concrete or something.

Also having scyther be flying kinda contrasts what you said about charizard, as scyther stays on the ground most of the time it just has the ability to fly

Will you please do this for the other generations?

I think it would be cool to have a game we're the dual types Pokémon have, have variants. Like pidgey would be more like a small winged flightless bird like a chicken for normal type. But a pure flying would be a more large winged hawk type bird.

In an alternate universe. What if Pokémon had dual types?

1:20 in the famous words of Lucifer- "uh... what" Charizard is dual type too.

i think for Oddish line, it should stay grass type with Gloom, and then when it splits, it stays Grass for Bellossom, but turns pure poison for Vileplume

The only Pokémon I can think of that you could change to be a dark type and it make sense is Mewtwo. It would still learn a bunch of psychic moves but is whole demeanor definitely could justify the switch.

Incidentally, this actually happened in the "Pokémon Ranger" spinoff series.

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.

I'd stick with what Pokemon shuffle did, except some of them are strange. There are two different Gengars, one Ghost and one Poison.

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.

You're not wrong, but I was actually surprised that other regions like Unova and Galar still had a majority of mono-typed Pokemon, even if it is slim...

Is this video inspired by the request about the same topic I commented a few months ago

Perhaps. It has come up a number of times over the years, but there seems to have been more interest in it lately.

Emperor Cubone on his way to steal Ogerpon’s masks, in order to make her a weak grass-monotype.

Unless Ogerpon's gimmick is that it's the ONLY Pokemon with multiple types...?

@@emperorcubone It’s both a gimmick and a trait of Ogerpon. Some classify her masks giving her separate types as a gimmick, but she had those masks before gimmicks were invented… so.

I think you missed an opportunity to fix some solo type Pokemon to adjust the ratio. I would have been fine with seeing the number of normal Pokemon fall off for ground or switch to something else.

That probably SHOULD have happened too, but I didn't want to muddy the waters so I was only working within the established types the Pokemon already had. But that could be its own topic one day maybe?

Magnemite/Magenton would become the superior Klink line! Pure metal mons using a plethora of electric coverage.

Pokémon Shuffle already made those choices long ago

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.

I'm pretty sure Roost was only introduced in Gen 4, so I'm not sure that fully explains it...

No dark type from Gen 1? Not that many in Gen 2 though, but never occurred to me that any from Gen 1 were retroactively changed whereas Fairy has a few

I know right? They could've had Arbok, or maybe Marowak or something be Dark!

What type is serperior? Goat type or grass ?

I wish the nido lines were mono ground.

I mapped out a hypothetical ‘what if a Pokémon started monotype but then got a new type for each time it evolved?’ For example, Gastly is pure Poison, Haunter remains Poison/Ghost, and then Gengar is Poison/Ghost/Dark

@@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.

If this happened then Stealth Rock would not have nearly as strong an effect on competitive Pokemon.

Did... Did you just call Oddish... The pokemon practically named odd radish... An ONION??

That seem like a fun idea for a game. It would definitely change up hoe people play the game. Plus pokemon would be would differently as well.

Wow? I think that's the first time I've heard someone refer to pinsir as "strong" or "late game"

Well considering the Safari Zone is about as far as you can go from the start that seem pretty late to me.

What variety while surfing? It was all Tentacool and Tentacruel in Kanto.

I mean that in this hypothetical world it would be boring to Surf if you could only ever run into Water Pokemon, so having at least one other type available would add some spice!

@emperorcubone Sure, but that still would've been only Poison-types you could Surf into in this world's Gen I. Although, I guess the Swimmers would have Water-types.
