well, golurk is ghost/ground but it is based on golems which are said to be made of clay. a steel/ghost could possibly be a modern version of that, though I hope they something more interesting than that.

Oh...umm...okay...I didn't know there is a ghost/ground, haven't played Gen V xD

And just forget that part, I was just trying to imagine touching a steel ghost, my finger would go through the Pokemon and and and...

There goes me again. But if such Pokemon exist, I'll burn them with flamethrower muahahaha! What? A burning ghost? asgnjfsrbgj

I'm hoping for a Fire/Flying Rapidash evo. xD   Well, either way, Fairy-type is looking more likely by the minute. And as a big fan of folklore, this pleases me greatly.  Bring on the nix(Water/Fairy), the huldra(multiple types, Rock/Fairy, Grass/Fairy, Water/Fairy), the vitterfolk(ground/fairy) and the Dullahan(ghost/fairy).

Oh yes, not only does Rapidash kind of need an evolution, but an alicorn Pokemon would be just killer.

And Fairy sounds like it'll be a great type if the rumors are true, plus it'd be great to finally see a new type!

Honestly I think a new type would break the type matchup charts since everything is already sorted and figured out with advantages and disadvantages.

"Honestly I think a new type would break the type matchup charts since everything is already sorted and figured out with advantages and disadvantages."

 

 

 

Except the part where the metagame is utterly imbalanced.

[Espeon 338]

Honestly I think a new type would break the type matchup charts since everything is already sorted and figured out with advantages and disadvantages. 

 

There's really no "breaking" the type chart that can be done.  All a theoretical new type would do is add an 18th row and column with its own unique strengths and weaknesses in relation to the others.  The supposed new type wouldn't change that, for example, Fire is super-effective against Grass.  

 

One could argue that everything was "already sorted and figured out with advantages and disadvantages" back in Gen I when Dark and Steel didn't exist.  Those two types were made as countermeasures to the previously-godlike Psychic-type, which was only resisted by itself and was weak against only the extremely weak and scarce Bug-type (Psychic was immune to Ghost in Gen I, but it's not like it mattered that much with only Lick to deal with).  Who's to say this type wouldn't be a countermeasure to tear down some of the better current types and build up some of the worse?  Keep in mind that it's only a rumor at the moment, but I've heard that this hypothetical new type would be immune to Dragon (adding things that can deal with Dragon very well, currently limited to a single type) and weak to Poison (adding things that make Poison a more worthwhile offensive type, aka something that hits more than Grass super-effectively), a good example of the possible benefits of adding a type in the current environment.

 

The only thing I can see an 18th type shaking up to the point of a necessary overhaul is the Hidden Power system: it's already some fancy mathematics to make sixteen types (Hidden Power can't be Normal) of base power 30(?) - 70 available, so I'd assume fancy mathematics would be necessary to add a seventeenth possible Hidden Power type without changing the base power range or requiring an IV system overhaul (which is infinitely improbable because XY have backwards compatibility; the last time a core stat mechanic was changed, backwards compatibility was severed).  Then again, I really don't know exactly what would go into adding a new potential type into the Hidden Power pool, so eh.

 

As you might be able to tell, I'm trying really hard to stay neutral about a new type.  I don't see any concrete evidence that it will or won't exist yet.  The biggest argument for people saying it's all but confirmed is the whole Pokemon Smash / Sylveon thing that happened recently, but from all the details and translations I've heard, they're staying deliberately and extremely vague about everything.  Without anything convincing me enough, I'd naturally believe that there will not be a new type, but I'm convinced enough to not be adamant about the lack of a new type yet not convinced enough to be adamant about the existence of a new type.  Here's hoping GameFreak will push me onto one side of the fence or the other fairly soon?

I love how you actually Include Gen 5 Pokemon,

Gen 5 pokemon are some of the greatest around In my Opinion, but some people just don't like certain sprites and pokemon, so they don't mention them,

I find it a bit sad, that they're not mentioned a lot, even though some are just amazing, :3

I actually love some of their sprites as well, maybe not vantille, but there's Still Some reasonable for a mention such as Chandelure

The. Worst. Possible. THING happened. My step mom broke my phone with all my pokemon ruby and Earthbound data in it. No more pokemons for me ;~;

 

Oh well I'm actually getting supper addicted to GPXplus. I'm on it all the time literally. This weekend was all 20,000 plus interactions every day. Now I'm doing the shiny Cyndaquil hunt/race/contest/whatever it its.

[Derplordsnuffy 28]

Okay so I require some help...

I'm currently making two teams. One for the Pokemon Platinum story line, and the other for competitive battling in Black 2. I would Love to use a Leafeon in both and my starter is a Piplup in Platinum.

Thank you for your help!

Interesting... that's all I really have to say about it lol. Charmander is cute though.

My top 10 would probably be a little more hardcore:

1. Zekrom

2. Scrafty

3. Heatran

4. Virizion

5. Latias

6. Salamence

7. Hydreigon

8. Latios

9. Scizor

10. Cloyster

Yeah I listed a few legendaries... but only because they're good and I know how to use them.

Well for competitive battling with Leafeon in gen 5, you should find some useful info here: http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/leafeon you might not like what you read though. As for ingame in Platinum, shouldn't really matter too much what you go with as long as you have a well balanced team, just go with anything good that isn't a water or grass type for your other 4 and you should be fine.

[Mutemutt 773]

My top 10 favorite pokes are:

 

1. Vaporeon
2. Glaceon
3. Jirachi
4. Aggron
5. Flareon
6. Whimsicott
7. Lopunny
8. Mawile
9. Absol
10. Venusaur

The order is constantly changing but those pokemon are always among the top of my list.

[Moon Waves 7]

Tyranitar all the way. It used to be Nidoking in the first gen, but when I saw a Tyranitar for the first time I thought "That is the most badass-looking Pokemon I've ever seen.

Favorite from each gen: 1-Nidoking 2-Tyranitar 3-Metagross 4-Garchomp 5-Bisharp. They may be mainstream/OU but I don't care. They're that way for a reason.

[RWB 229]

Favorite is Meloetta:

 

 

 

Followed by Gardevoir:

 

Then Mawile:

 

 

 

Also, Sinnoh had the best starters, Red and Blue were the worst games of the series, and every gen has just gotten better, design-wise.

Thank you for this! I never knew about this site and It actually gave me the info I needed, and what can I say... I root for the underdog when it comes to competition, they are the ones who are most likely to surprise you.

Anybody watch the Pokemon X & Y E3 video? Watch it, srsly.

(Yeah, the page title is Yoshi's New Island. I dunno why, maybe Yoshi is a new Pokemon??)

Highlights:

Fairy Type
...is the new, 18th type of Pokemon. Sylveon, as well as other Pokemon, like Jigglypuff, Gardevoir, and Marill will also have this type. It is Super Effective against Dragon Type Pokemon.
 
Pokemon-Amie
It's a whole new way of bonding with Pokemon. Big or Small, you can feed, pet, and play with your Pokemon partners in a whole new way. Icons on screen will display their feelings towards you as you interact with them, you can even copy their actions, such as opening your mouth wide or tilting your head to the side, to make them happier.
 
Wild Encounters
There are new ways to start wild encounters, the one shown in the video has the following dialogue: "Whoa! The Heloptile you stepped on attacked!"
 
New Pokemon
-Noivern is Flying/Dragon, 4' 11", 187.4 lbs., and uses a new attack called Boomburst.
-Vivillon is Bug/Flying, 3' 11", 37.5 lbs., and can learn Struggle Bug. It evolves from Spewpa, who has not been revealed yet.
 

Other Stuff

- In battle grammar has changed slightly. "Pokemon used Move!" is now one line instead of 2, and "The foe's..."/"The Wild..." was replaced with "The Opposing..."
-The male player is named Xavier.
-The games will launch worldwide on October 12th, 2013.

this caught me by surprise. though you think with all the speculation about it beforehand, I'd seen it coming /=|

 

despite my reservations about adding a new type, this ought to prove interesting. I wonder why it's only super effective against dragon though. it also makes me wonder what types it'll be weak to

Well, back in May, PokeBeach had an article from a "source" that provided quite a bit of info on X & Y. I think this is where most of the Fairy type speculation came in, here is the article.

 

According to that, "Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it."

 

So, I'm betting this is what's going to be in the retail game.

 

I think it's an odd type, but it changes the strategy up quite a bit, so I guess we'll see what happens, It'll certainly change some of my favorites, notably Azumarill, haha.

[Mutemutt 773]

Super Effective against dragon types!? Yes! All of my yes! I always felt like the dragon type could use a few more checks.

 

Fairy type, there was a lot of speculation and I personally believed it would be true considering Sylveon's design and the hints about Sylveon's type in pokemon smash. Hopefully the developers will include a decent amount of fairy type pokemon and moves to get the ball rolling. Immunity to dragon sounds delicious, but I could settle for just a resistance.

oh my god, they actually did it. game freak actually made a ghost/steel type. I'm really excited so far. from the looks of it,I think it evolves. it would be really nice if it did

[Raiden_Opsaidoun 23]

Fan somewhat, but my favorite pokemon game was mysterydungeon: explorers of sky. I pretty much like pokemon for their characters, and not the story n games that much though.

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

I thought that Gen 3 was the best, Gen 5 the worst thus far. Guessing 6 will be even worse. 

My favorite pokemon: 

 

Rayquaza's a BADASS! he can learn moves of many different types, and his maxxes go up to numbers in the 300's and 400's. Its base total is 680, one of the highest. (Arceus being the highest with a 720 base total)

 

And then there's this cutie :3 Pikachu.

 

Why? He is the first to learn a move that is not normal type, learning Thundershock by default.

Actually, the first one is Weedle(by number) with it's Poison Sting, and Weedle shows up as early in the games as Pikachu, and is more common.

 

I iz nitpicker, mmmyes.

Yes, but Pikachu is much more powerful, Weedles also faint very easy compared to these. They DO learn poison sting by default, however they are one of the weakest Pokemon ever made.

 

It has a base total of 195, like all the other caterpillar-based pokemon, 195. Pikachu's base total is 300, much more, and quite high for a basic.

Oh yes, I am very fond of the series. While i'm not a huge mega-fan, I still love the series. The first one I remember playing was Blue back on the GBC. My favorite had to be Emerald. I frickin' love that game. 

 

I also like the Mystery Dungeon series. They had a really engaging story, in my honest opinion. 

 

And my favorite Pokemon is none other than the infamous duo from Colosseum:
