what you hope for from Gen 6

I'm still wanting to see an electric grass pokemon, that'd be pretty cool

[Charlie160809]

I would personally love to see a game where all regions are connected, and you have to complete the league of every region to compete in a "National" League. I think it would be really good as I usually tear through the game in 1-2 days The levelling up/experience would have to be REALLY slow though, as everyone would have level 100's by the third league so I don't really see this happening.

Lawnmower Rotom.

[crozza159]

Rotom is electric ghost to me, always has been, always will be. for clarification though, i will specify a REAL grass electric type pokemon

[Chad29]

What do you have against Rotom's alternate forms not being part ghost?

[crozza159]

it's just, you catch rotom as an electric ghost, so to me, he remains an electric ghost.

[Chad29]

So I suppose you never evolve you Eevee either, huh? And darn all those other types that change type as they evolve! What are the Devs thinking?

I'm thinking about cooking some dinner soon, not really sure how this is relevant to be honest.

As for Gen 6, I'd like to see it come out on the gameboy. This way, I'd be able to actually play it :p

[Chad29]

I'm just saying it seems silly to complain that a different form doesn't retain the same type as the original form.

[Declan_23]

I don't know what Rotom is, the only pokemon with more than one form I know of is Castform, and I never used it.

How's about this, something completely unexpected...


POKEMON WITH THREE TYPES!?!?!?!

Basicly, the ability the pokemon has, is like this, in example:
A pokemon is Bug/Poison, but it has the third-type ability Downy Body.

Downy Body- The pokemon has a light and feathery feel to it, giving it the properties of being a Flying type

Or another example:
a Grass/Fighting pokemon (AKA Breloom), has the ability Poison Spores.

Poison Spores- The pokemon is coated in a highly toxic spore powder, giving it the properties of being the Poison type.

[Chad29]

That sounds kind of like thick fat, except adding weaknesses as well as resistances. I'm not sure how well three types would work out.

[crozza159]

All I'm saying, is that rotom isn't a true electric grass pokemon, seeing as how you catch it as an electric ghost, and also how you can change it back to the original. Of course i evolve eevee, but that is completely different seeing as it is EVOLVING, you dont evolve rotom to change its form. And the other pokemon that change forms when they evolve, yes i evolve them too, because it is evolving, rotom does not evolve, its forms are not evolutions. Now can we put this stupid argument down, and stay on topic.

I do not like the idea of triple typed pokemon, it just seems like it will get too cluttered, too messy, and changing the ability to effectively give them a third type, hmmmmm, doesn't sound like it will be a popular change in the game. And then if they implement this idea but alter it, say giving pokemon two abilities, that means that pokemon that don't seem to need to be another type, will also have to have an extra ability, it will completely change peoples game plan, how they battle, which pokemon they use. Lets just hypothetically say, they are making the gen 6 pokemon now, they have made a water/electric type with drizzle as one ability and swift swim (or rain dish) as another, now lets say they introduce this new second ability, this pokemon will either have constant increased speed and 100% accuracy thunder, or constant regained health and 100% accuracy thunder. Sure that seems pretty good and all, but what if they have already made the opposite yet equal pokemon for the other version (like serviper and zangoose) this pokemon is a fire type, it has drought and flash fire, with the two abilities (currently ignoring the fact that water beats fire) the water type will have an advantage over the fire, just by abilities alone.

All I'm saying, is that rotom isn't a true electric grass pokemon, seeing as how you catch it as an electric ghost, and also how you can change it back to the original.

Rotom acquires its other forms by possessing them. It keeps it's original electric properties and takes on the other properties of the item it possessed. (Oven turning into Fire.) Thus, it becomes Electric / Other typing, because it is no longer merely a ghost. It is the object it possessed.

Balance wise, and lore wise, it makes plenty of sense.
