Welcome back soble!

But I need to get something out of the way first...

It has been stated and restated many times before that this is one of the worst ways to start an idea. Starting with type combinations simply will not work for the majority of us.

But everyone is still welcome to try.

ALL GLORY TO MIENSHAO

I'm actually kinda surprised at how few wind combos we currently have. Shows how hamfisted we were at making them, I suppose.

My SE Theranqure from the last contest is Wind/Fire. You can cross that one off.

Have we really filled out all the Magic combos? I don't remember, say, Magic/Fighting...

Normal/whatever is problematic because Normal doesn't really work for anything except Flying.

Normal and Psychic work together really well. Said Pokemon would be able to hold up against a fighting type and would have a better move-set. Not to mention there is a small amount of Normal and Psychic types, which doesn't put a limit on ideas either.

But how would you make normal and psychic together make sense in terms of design?

EDIT: Actually, there is one normal/x type combination that would work: a pokemon based on the Slow Loris. It's basically a premade Pokemon: a tiny Normal/Poison ape with Truant and counter moves.

I wish I knew what Game Freak were thinking when they made Bibarel Normal/Water. They've already demonstrated that Normal is more than just "common furry animal" type since there are plenty of furry animal pokémon that aren't Normal-type...and it certainly isn't the "typeless type" since Normal-type pokémon are immune to Ghost-type attacks. As far as I'm concerned, at PF it should still take extraordinary circumstances like a half-and-half nature for a Normal dual-type other than Flying to be viable.

I think it's to identify it as not a pure Water-type. That is, it doesn't live solely in the water, nor does it have a huge amount of command over the water.

Also, having a mono-Normal evolve into a mono-Water would be weird.

But they did it with Azurill and Marill for some reason.
(Not quite related but just as weird is the thing with a fraction of Azurill end up changing gender. Maybe they added Azurill as an afterthought for dex filler but they never bothered to retcon it?)

I always thought that was because Marill was created for the first gen, and Azurill was created for the third gen and things got kinda changed? I can't find any specific reasoning for it, though.

lilfut: also the poliwag line. Amphibians by definition spend time in and out of water.

As for Azurill, it is starting to seem like it's on purpose. They've had what, five games to change it in by now?

Meanwhile in Game Freak Headquarters: "I bet they'll keep buying our games just to know what's up with Azurill, Deerling, Sawsbuck and Meloetta"

Jokes on them - I forgot Azurill was a Pokemon til I read Cacapulse's post. That said, what on earth is up with Deerling and Sawsbuck and Meloetta? We can justify Deerling line if you're willing to accept that it's Normal type solely because it's a mammal or a Grass type solely because some seasonal Trubbish deers do that apparently is also shared by plants apparently.

WHY IS MELOETTA A NORMAL TYPE!?

Well Meloetta is a humanoid and humans are mammals. LOGIC.

Hmmm all of the nonflying-half-normal mons seem to be herbivorous mammals (excluding Meloetta unless it's some sort of pokemon vegan).

I counter with a Jynx and a Mr. Mime and maybe a Machamp. Your move.

Jynx and Mr. Mime are anything but Normal.
