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.
