a rant about the Fire type starters

[Super Mario the Hedgehog]

Well personally I would just use Chandelure, but he shuts down pretty much every Fire type so...

Well then, how about giving it a hot air balloon that sprouts from it's back, which is powered by the heat from it's mane? That cold give it a Levitate ability.

 

[Dr. Javelin]

Wait you're talking about a lion

ohhhh

That's a dumb idea for Fire/Steel, I was imagining some sort of fire-breathing robot or dragon or tank or something.

Steel lion?

laff

Also Fire/Water is going to be the best idea out of all of them.

You seriously just found out now that it's a lion? Still, I think it's a cool idea.

And Lucario being Steel/Fighting isn't a dumb idea for Steel/Fighting?

 

[Dr. Javelin]

A lion would be better as just a Fire-type.

The problem arises when you realize that it would look strikingly similiar to a certain Pokemon called Flareon.

In fact, you would need to pick a type that doesn't have an Eeveelution in order to make it different.

Lucario is too awesome to be dumb. He's like the Chuck Norris of Pokemon.

NOT

Eh, I would prefer it if Game Freak didn't repeat mistakes instead of using them as precedents for continued stupidity.

so wait javelin supports my type combination despite me being a brony.

cool beans

Lucario isn't dumb himself. Only the typing itself, even if it's a good typing.

Yeah, I agree with your last sentence

Hey

I don't hate anyone just because they're a brony. I even respect SM who is the chief brony.

I really need to debunk this myth that I hate all bronies. Just the stupid, spammy, or annoying ones.

I'll let you decide what category PTR and UM fall into

Which is exactly why I said to give it a fire mane and tail tip and a hot air balloon back to give it a Levitate ability. Might look dumb, but it'll work great in battles. And I happen to like Lucario, by the way.

But yes, I can agree that I wouldn't want Game Freak to take the chance of repeating the same mistake either.

Stats are still the most important aspect of a Pokemon.

Look at Volcarona, a 4x weakness to SR is atrocious and yet it's still the most vicious sweeper in OU.

Except maybe Terrakion and Excadrill.

I know for a fact Excadrill is in uber.

 

[Dr. Javelin]

Yes, well...

It was the best sweeper until it was banned.

Hold on a sec, first you tell me it's a bad idea because it's a Fire/Steel type and then I gave it a Levitate ability by attaching a hot air balloon. Then you said it'd look too much like Flareon, but I gave it a fire mane and tail tip. And now you're telling me they don't matter that much because of stats when you were saying the exact opposite a while ago. You must REALLY not like my idea, don't you?

 

[Dr. Javelin]

Stats are my trump card. ^_^

I figured I'd challenge you on appearance, but then you admitted that it would look dumb, which meant that you didn't care about appearance, so I challenged you on stats.

Heh, well played. Just don't go switching topics like that when I've provided multiple potential, just say you wouldn't like it. I'd be down with that.

 

[Magikrazy]

I'd like to see a Fire/Ghost type starter. Perhaps a floating fireball with eyes (I'd call it Willwisp).

 

[Super Mario the Hedgehog]

What about a Fire/Electric Pokemon that basically controls plasma?

That's basically what Rotom minus Fire plus Ghost is.

True, never mind then.

Too close to Chandelure.

What

 

[Pyro]

oh guys

how about we have a fire snake

Fire/Poison.

 

[Dr. Javelin]

oh guys

Because Poison is an awful type.

 

[Super Mario the Hedgehog]

Not to mention that I don't want Game Freak to repeat animals for starters.
