I'd prefer to see them as a monkey triangle that you get after the first Gym or so since the monkeys were fucking terrible.
It'll never happen.
Too bad it's a stupid fire chicken
Wait, Flying is not good against Normal and normal is not good against Electric.

They will have to get something new someday. Grass Water Fire cant cut it for ever.
personally I think if you were going to aim for western markets to move a lot of product you would rip off skylanders and make a pokemon version and get in on that.
maybe 50 pokemon for the first game, with 5 new ones released each month and then another 25-50 with the second game the next year and so on
gotta catch them (and store them) all lol.
a pokemon mmo is likely to much investment and potentially harmful to future rpg pokemon sales, meanwhile a skylanders like pokemon worst case can just be treated as something like pokemon rumble (which honestly would be a basis for a skylanders knockoff

This and at the end of the day each generation is made for newcomers more so than vets. So the "it's been done already and people get type advantages" argument doesn't hold well and no other triangle is as clear cut .

An hour and forty five minutes? Yeah, I may as well just stay up. Feeling that hype course through me like straight coke
Normal has an advantage over digital.

So why are there two classification logos on the Nintendo Direct site now? (Australian).
Two games then?
It can't be for old games because Pokemon DPP and Super Pokemon Rumble were the only two PG games... unless..... remakes?
Then this Rainbow rumour could be true then?

I'd really like a new starter triangle. I dunno what types, but I like the idea.
And on a mostly unrelated note, I want HMs gone. Or make them character abilities, not Pokemon abilities. I hate wasting a slot or two on my team to HM mules. So pointless.

Normal is well rounded because it may not have a super-effective, normal types tend to only have one weakness (Fighting), and are flexible in that they can generally learn many types.

Ghosts can't hit Normal Pokemon with their attacks at all.

With the way BW2 handled exploration, HMs seem to be heading more to the optional route.

This may be heretical but I thought it was cool!
Charizard was Fire/Flying [much to the anger/dismay of those wanting Fire/Dragon].
And ghost cant hit Normals. That's the deal really. Cleafairy vs Gengar = CLONES.

Whoa, really? How was it different? Damn, I need to get B/W2 soon so I don't play it right before Gen VI and get burnt out.

Nintendo skipping R/S/Emakes and going straight to remaking the best games in the series.
I was referring to the possibility of Normal being part of a new starter pyramid. It ruins the whole thing of one being effective/ineffective against the others, since it can't hit for Super Effective damage.

10 minutes.
Oh, that's all ? Well, I guess we can get some sleep after that.

Poison/Flying/Dragon
600 glorious seconds.
Poison is not good against Flying or Dragon
So nope.
And Dragon is only good against Dragon and can protect himself from too much stuff.
One's probably Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. We haven't had an official announcement for it in PAL regions yet (I think) and it would explain why it already has a classifcation rating.

I picked those three types because they aren't effective or noneffective against each other. I want a starter trio that doesn't rely on weaknesses to add pressure to early bouts. (Also, I just want some weird starters.)
Got into a battle where it was between my Gengar and someone's Blissey. It was a bitch because neither of us had any attacks that could hit each other (I ran out of pp for my Focus Blast after missing all but once). The battle lasted 30+ turns before I forfeited.

a Bug starter AND a grass starter? really? that just seems too similar/boring.
10mins + 1 hour.
Except that Dark is IMMUNE to Psychic. Too powerful for a starter.
