Forums - Nintendo - The lack of fire Pokemon that originated in the Sinnoh region was appalling

Note it's not only fire- electric types have always got the backhand as well.

I really want to see a good mix this time, as well as much much much less old pokemon with new evolutions and crap- I hate when they do that. I want 100% new pokemon!

That is true as the main focus is on the grass and the water types.

How about an Ice-Dragon combo? That would be cool don't ya think.

That would be interesting as Ice and Dragon types are polar opposites.



I always picked Charmander as my starter in red



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.

There should also be a fire HM. I would classify Water and Dark types as my favourite as well!



I would also like to see a new Elemental type. Cosmic perhaps (actually that is an awful idea).



Though Cosmic could be potentially be a new type. Will it be incorporated into the new games? Have your say.

wasn't he fire/dragon? lance used him? hazy memories.

Nah. Lance just used things that looked like Dragons because there were a grand total of 4 dragon types in GSC and 3 in RBY. Lance also used Gyrados and Aerodactyl.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Could the new HM be fire orientated.
