Maybe we'll get tripple type for 5th gen.
Then, Charizard can be fire/flying/dragon.

I am glad that you consider Feraligatr as your favourite fully evolved water starter. Though I would consider Feraligatr as my favourite fully evolved starter of all time, due to its appearance, strength, and that it is a water type (one of my favourite types).

I think it sucks too.

You can remedy it by having a fighting and flying pokemon as those types together cover fire's strengths.

Smeags said: Yeah, Fire types definitely got the short end of the stick in Gen IV. A lack of new fire types, a lack of new fire type moves (and a tiny percentage are physical attacks, which would make Pokemon like Arcanine, Flareon, and Entei much more useful), and the addition of Stealth Rock in the metagame which turns fire types into mince meat. Hopefully Black & White will be kinder to them. I'm not a huge fan of the type (Water and Dark types for the win!) but its easy to see that they need some love.

The new Event Entei gets Flare Blitz

And the reason that Sinnoh didn't have a wide variety of Fire-types was due to the region being in a colder climate; Stark Mountain was warmer due to the island being volcanic, hence why Slugma was found there.

An HM like "Melt" could be a special attack that is very similar to Rock Smash, but lowers the special defensive stat

His team changes in every generation, and later on, with later encounters as well.

In GSC, his team is six strong now - both Dragonairs have evolved, and he added a Charizard to the mix.

In FireRed/LeafGreen, his team is back to the original at first. Later, he replaces one of the Dragonairs with a Kingdra, and the other has evolved.

In HG/SS, his first team is Gyarados, three Dragonites, a Charizard, and Aerodactyl. Later, his team is Salamence, Gyarados, Charizard, Garchomp, Altaria, and Dragonite. Even later, he has Gyarados, Charizard, and Dragonite in the team battle with Clair.

And in the Pokemon Stadium games, his teams all have Charizard except his second Stadium 2 team, which isn't even Dragon-themed.

Should there be a Star/Sun Pokemon that also has variants in the evolution line?

Sunros - Starurn
(Fire) Level 25 (Fire)

- Planore
Astro Stone (Rock/Fire)

Tell me if this evolution line is tedious.

That would make sense if they were evolutions of Solrock and Lunatone xD

i do like fire types a lot but it is just so difficult to get much use out of them. they're weakness's are just too common with moves like surf and earthquake being prevalent and stealth rock poses a huge problem. fire/dragon would be a great combination and it'd anyone's guess as to why this glaringly obvious typing hasn't been used yet

Personally, I think there's an overabundance of evolutionary items that only see one or two uses... I think they should make only one or two new evolutionary items and find more new uses for the ones that they already have, I mean, only 2 Pokemon evolve through the use of a Thunder Stone, and one of them has 6 other alternative evolutionary paths (and shame on you if you don't know which Pokemon I'm talking about; and if you don't know the other one, you're a Poke-idiot)...

On Topic: Yeah, Sinnoh's mainland was a wasteland for Fire-types, but I believe someone already explained why, which ironically enough is also the reason why Hoenn was the motherload of Fire-types both old and new (although only 3 new Fire-types emerged that generation, save for the Fire-type starter and its evolutionary tree)... But, in my opinion, the underabundance of Fire-type Pokemon is nothing new, as up to the 4th generation there's been only 21 Pokemon of the Fire-type, save for starters, and four of them are legendaries, a.k.a. banned from the Battle Frontier! That may seem like a lot, but considering that there have been 493 Pokemon as of the 4th generation, including legendaries and starters, that also means that Fire-types make up less than 7% of the total number of species in the Pokemon multiverse up to that point, which amounts to less than double the total percentage of legendary Pokemon (which is approximately 3.65% in case you needed to know)... Unfortunately, the numbers probably aren't going to get better, what with the historical focus being on Normal, Bug, Water, and Flying types, with only occasional nods to less common types, although the focus has shifted somewhat to include more Ghost- and Dragon-types... Very sad...
