Officially, there are 98 normal types and 112 water types (counting alternates formes). And so I have decided for when I make my own region to include heart and benthic types to reduce those numbers to a reasonable amount. But I have one big problem, which ones should I choose? I would like you to help me figure this out.

Also, if there are other pokemon that you want to include in these lists that may also fit, feel free to mention them.

MY CURRENT SUGGESTIONS:

Sonchic (Approved: DS#081)

Aureagle (Approved: DS#082)

Zephyrach (Approved: DS#083)

Ionew

Bulbug

Hm... Interesting. From the top of my head:

Heart:
- Cleffa, Clefairy, Clefable
- Igglybuff, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff
- Happiny, Chansey, Blissey
- Togepi, Togetic, Togekiss
- Skitty, Delcatty
- Luvdisc?
- Buneary, Lopunny

Benthic:
- Shellder, Cloyster
- Krabby, Kingler
- Staryu, Starmie
- Omanyte, Omastar
- Kabuto, Kabutops
- Wooper, Quagsire
- Corsola
- Corphish, Crawdaunt
- Clamperl, Huntail, Gorebyss

No clue on 5th gen Pokémon yet, considering I don't know their dex infos yet.

How does Heart and Benthic interact with other types? What is Super-effective against it? How are the Heart and Benthic types defined? (For example, maybe not every cute Normal-type Pokémon is Heart-type; maybe only particularly affectionate or emotional ones are) I shall go by this theoretical definition in my suggestion.

Benthic-type: Pokémon that can withstand the dark and mysterious depths of the open ocean.
Heart-type: Pokémon that rely on, are distinguished by, are correlated with, or manipulate emotions such as happiness, or psychological Pokémon that employ or predominantly associate with the emotional aspect of the mind or feelings in general, rather than cognitive (intelligence of various Psychic-types) or spatial (telekinesis) aspects.

Perhaps Snubbull and even Granbull can be Heart-type. Snubbull: "Although it looks frightening, it is actually kind and affectionate." Mesprit and Azelf may correlate with Heart-type as well.

Benthic:
Kingdra, Kyogre, Lumineon, Lanturn, Anorith, Mantyke, Carvanha, Sharpedo

Sableye, Lvl. 9 (approx.) (male)

Tiquail, Lvl. 7 (female)

Normgon, Lvl. 6 (female)

Sunny (Sunkern) Lvl. 7 (female)

Grubva, Lvl. 7 (male)

Dark Ariados is released.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Not only "cute" pokemon, but also affectionate ones too. (BTW, I'd like to see if you'd see each of your choices as a pure type or mixed with the new type.) Also, ShinE, on bulbapedia. many of the dexes are fan translated. Maybe you should take a peak?

As for my picks, I have some too:

Heart:

Plusle & Minun (Electric/Heart)

Smoochum/Jynx (Ice/ Heart)

Gardevoir (Psychic/ Heart)

Tabunee (Heart)

Koromori/Kokoromori (Heart/Flying)

Benthic:

Lugia (Benthic/ Flying)

Bidoof/Bibarel (Normal/Benthic)

Azuril/ Maril/ Azumaril (Benthic)

MY CURRENT SUGGESTIONS:

Sonchic (Approved: DS#081)

Could you define Benthic? As I imagine it, the Bidoof and Azurill lines do not seem Benthic-type.

Coolsteph, I'm trying.

I think bibarel should be, because of the fact that he's a beaver, and beavers live in dark or murky lakes (rather than dark oceans).

The azuril line... I was trying to kill two birds with one stone, eliminating pokemon from both normal and water type groups.

I also forgot to add 2 more for heart:

Miltak (for her loving personality)

Kangaskhan (for her motherly nature)

Benthic does not include beavers. No way. It is a specific zone, at the very bottom of the lake. Beavers are not included.

I think some Fossil Pokemon would fit Benthic...

Lileep/Cradily = Benthic/Grass (I mean, they ARE called "Sea Lilies")
Omanyte/Omastar = Benthic (like ShinE said)
Kabuto/Kabutops = Benthic (like ShinE said, again)

Also there's this one:

Relicanth = Benthic/Rock

As for Heart-Type... Is it possible that being Heart-Type doesn't necessarily mean you're fixated on positive emotions? Like, can a really warped Pokemon be Heart-Type because it is so closely related to negative emotions? No, I suppose that would make it Dark-Type... but wait! That would mean Heart-Type would be weak to Dark, right?

HEART [Weaknesses and Resistances]
Fire = x1
Water = x1
Thunder = x1
Grass = x1
Flying = x1
Ground = x1
Rock = x1
Wind = x1
Ice = x1
Ghost = x0 (Cause if you're putting off good vibes, the spooky stuff can't getcha!)
Steel = x1
Magic = x1/2 (Because we all know how it goes in the fairy tales: true love beats magic any day!)
Dark = x2 (See above)
Psychic = x2 (Messes with their emo-flow y'know?)
Dragon = x1/2 (Because the heart of a Hero can trump any ol' lizard, can't it?)
Poison = x1
Light = x 1/2 (Light can't hurt what's already good and pure too badly)
Bug = x1

Does that work?

I like your ideas sov, but I'm sticking to lileep/cradily keeping rock/grass, because of it being a fossil.

I think it should also be 2x weak to fighting.

EDIT: I have completed my lists for each type. Take a look:

You could just copy and paste it here.

I am an artist, although a pathetic one. Check out my fakemon, Zelda, Harry Potter, and other types of art on my dA profile, found here: http://euclidofthexenons.deviantart.com/

I read for fun and entertainment, not because I have to. When bored, I flip through a dictionary. I hope to write a 300+ page novel one day, and have gathered several ideas.

I play Pokemon for fun and for inspiration. Not to trade with unfamiliar people or battle them over the Internet.

Celebrate, ~~peasant,~~ as the ~~beginning~~ end of my ~~pathetic~~ epic post has been ~~started~~ reached.

So, if there are Heart-types and Benthic-types, how do they receive STAB? Are some Psychic-type and Normal-type moves Heart-type now, or do we assume most of them are like Phanpy and learn no STAB moves naturally?

EDIT: A possible list of Normal-type moves turned Heart-type:

Covet
Return (and) Frustration
Present
Milk Drink
Last Resort
Rage (in the sense of correlating to emotions other than affection)
Attract
Captivate
Charm
Heal Bell
Helping Hand
Lovely Kiss
Lucky Chant
Pain Split
Refresh
Softboiled
Sweet Kiss
Tickle
Wish

Sableye, Lvl. 9 (approx.) (male)

Tiquail, Lvl. 7 (female)

Normgon, Lvl. 6 (female)

Sunny (Sunkern) Lvl. 7 (female)

Yes, some normal and psychic moves will turn into heart type moves. As for the benthics, I don't know which moves should be swtiched over.

Benthic-type:
Dive
Whirlpool
Brine
Surf

....surprisingly not many Water-type moves to choose from. If you are going to use PF moves, that might expand the list more.

Which is why I was thinking of this: Benthic and Water will share moves. They will both get STAB for water type moves.

....? Well, that's a revolutionary feature. Any other types that have the same shared-STAB relationship? Ghost-types and Dark-types, Ground-types and Rock-types...so, since I do not think you made this clear if you explained it earlier, what is the difference between Water-types and Benthic-types?

Benthic Types, as I see it, are pokemon that live in aquatic areas, but aren't quite water type enough to be it (Bibarel, Maggyo, Lugia, etc.)

Then that might not be the best term. Benthic refers to a specific set of properties---the bottom of a body of water.
