Fairy isn't a thing until gen 6, unless they introduce pokémon with their current types (Clefairy as fairy instead of normal)

Even so, there aren't any fairy-type attacking moves until gen 6

But dark ghost types aren't overpowered like that anymore.

Would you like to donate to my fundraiser for a time machine? Its sole purpose will be to go back to gen 1 and introduce the Fairy type earlier. Think of how the world would be if the Fairy type was always there? We'll just replace one of the unimportant types like fire or flying or something.
TG me about my avatars for useless trivia.

A very good link right here.

I get the feeling we're being punked right now. In all seriousness, Removing fire type would make fairies more overpowered considering fire resists fairy.
I don't know how long I'll be back, but I just thought I'd stop in and say hi, at least.

I would go back in time to when Gen 6 was in development so that ice types were buffed instead of creating the Fairy Type

Ice should resist grass and water. And maybe poison, since I can't imagine poison doing much to a sheet of ice.

My idea was that it should resist grass, water, flying, and dragon. That way it isn't so useless

Does water resist dragon in gen 1? Or was dragon not super effective against itself?

Dragon and Ice were the only weaknesses Dragon-types had in Gen I.

Dragon resists water, while water resists ice. With the only dragon attack having a set damage, water/dragon had no weaknesses in gen I.

Indeed. The rules can get fleshed out if we get enough interest for at least 4 to 5 gyms, and an elite four. The champion could be whoever beats the elite four first.

It is pokemon... but maybe we could create a thread just for this?

Considering most of my favorite pokemon are water types, I think i'll go with a water type gym/elite four, with steel, ground, and bug as alternatives.

When did I imply that? :eyebrow:

I think we should wait until we have an actual thread up with an app before we start grabbing at gyms.

@New Haven: We'll be using Pokémon Showdown, where you can make your own teams from scratch and battle with them. I'm waiting for an answer as to where the thread is going.

Until then, I think i'll try my hand again at running a pokémon rp.

Let me know when then. Meanwhile, I'll be creating a Dark Type Team. Should we do our Pokémon with specific levels like the Games and make the gyms get stronger and stronger as the challenger defeats more of them?

Since people usually make their Showdown teams at Lvl 100, I think we'd have all of the gyms and Elite 4 be Lvl 100 as well with full teams.
