what you hope for from Gen 6

a Flying eeveelution

[crozza159]

^ a dual typed eeveelution, not just any double typing, a unique double typing where neither of the types are a seperate eeveelution.

Ideas?
Ghost/Fighting

[PkMn Trainer Black]

Grass/electric. one of the best combo ever

[crozza159]

yeah but you can't really have a grass/electric eeveelution when there's already a grass one and an electric one...that's if you were referring to my post about a dual typed eeveelution

[Chad29]

All the Eeveelutions are of types that, prior to Gen 4, were special types. The only other type like that, I think, is dragon. So going with that theme, if there's going to be another one it would be dragon typed.

A color Type, Heavy type, Glass Type? Just random ideas.

Also, more eeveelousions, why were there none in Gen 5?

Heavy type gave me an idea, though Glass and Color seem like they would be awkward to implement unless further expanded upon. And, though I was looking forward to more eeveelutions, they need something for Gen VI, don't they?

On to Heavy types, though. There is a lot of play on a Pokemon's weight in B/W. It's really interesting to me, as a balancer, to note how all of the different aspects of Pokemon are starting to take shape in battling. In future battles, possibly Gen VI, I'd like to see reference to a Pokemon's height or number of body parts usable in moves.

Digressing, Heavy gave me an idea for a type. I thought, "That wouldn't work, we already have steel. And Pidgey, along with quite a few other people, think that Steel is too dominating." But then I thought, "What if we had a type that did little to change the metagame, but shot down the dominating types of Steel and Dragon?

The few I've heard tossed around elsewhere were Sound, Wood, Lunar and Solar. Out of all those, though I'm not really interested in seeing any new types, would be Sound, Solar and Lunar. Sound could be an interesting new type to deal SE damage against Normal and Ghost types, whereas Solar and Lunar could be argued for the Steel and Dragon advantage respectively. (Solar, directing the power of the sun similar to fire could be SE against Steel, while Lunar would harness more mystical powers and... well, I'm sure I could come up with a reason for it to be SE against Dragon.)

(End note: I never want to see generic "Light" as a type, and it will never happen. Key point, in Japanese. Dark is considered "Evil" while Fighting is "Pure and Honorable". Therefore, that explains why Fighting is super effective against Dark. Even then, Dark was only introduced to be SE against Psychic, the overpowered type in Gen I.)

TL;DR, cool story guys, keep up the speculation. I like to read.

[Chad29]

I think wood would be very similar to grass. I haven't really thought about types like heavy or sound. Sound could be super effective against types that sound waves travel through easily. I think rock is a good conductor of sound, as well as steel. Though it would need to do well against other types, otherwise people would rather use fighting moves offensively than sound. Just like with steel, since it's just se against ice and rock. I don't know if I've ever seen a steel attack used in the metagame, though pokemon like Metagross are prominent.

Putting Gyro Ball on your Metagross and making it have horrible speed seems like a commonplace strategy.
Just saying.

Sound type, super effective against:
Steel
Rock
Ice - It would crack, right? o.o
Fighting - If you've ever been in a fist fight, you know what it's like to get knocked in the temple. Spikes your sight and your hearing. It's hard to fight when you can't hear.

[Chad29]

Now that you mention it, I have seen gyro ball a few times. Usually on Bronzong or Forretress. Also bullet punch for Metagross and Scizor.

Edit: I'd kind of like to see Rhyperior get sand power. He's already best used in a sandstorm team because that helps his special defense, so getting a boost to his stab attacks with the sand power ability would really help it put a dent in the opposition. Though some people may prefer the solid rock ability.

[Mr. Fox]

Bullet punch is a good move. so is gyro ball

[crozza159]

just going on in reply to the sound type... whismer, loudred, exploud?
and also, sound travels really well in water, so if that was to be the basis of its super effectiveness, it would be strong against water for sure, but rock and steel? well sound kinda bounces off those two, making it appear to be NVE

[Bing]

more tyrogue evolutions!

[Chad29]

That would make him the eevee of fighting types. Or is he already the eevee of fighting types?

[Frenchfry]

Being limited to fighting types means it is in no way the eevee of anything.

[Chad29]

You're right. It evolves into multiple pokemon, but they're all fighting types.
