First of all, I don't think that they're going to change it from grass, fire, and water in the next games. Secondly, why would dark's immunity matter? Did you use razor leaf against your rival's cyndaquil? Likewise, are you going to use psychic type moves against a dark type? Not if you have a choice! Besides, one reason dark wouldn't unbalance it is because dark is the equalizer of the pokemon world. It nerfs psychic and ghost, which although they are not the best types in the games, in a more complex game they would be the hardest to beat because you would never be able to hit them! However, dark pays a price for beating psychic and ghost, because it gets beaten by bug, one of the most plentiful types in the early parts of the games. Therefore, though dark could nerf anyone who chose psychic, the dark would get slaughtered in the first part of the game, especially if there was a bug or fighting gym leader early in the game. Unfortunately, I have just remembered that psychic gets nerfed by bug too. In that case, anyone who chose psychic would just have to live with their bad decision until the fighting type gym, where they would own, and the dark types would get nerfed by a machop. Justice is served.

you have a point about the not so intuitve as fire water and grass, i just would like to ssee some difference somewhere, its always the same three. even if it was something almost as intuitve like lightning, rock or ground, and water, just SOMETHING different. the only two differences i have seen is pikachu in yellow and the eevee in XD.

Seems a bit unfair for the Dolphin and the Snake seeings how the obvious grasstype has legs...

Bah, legs are overrated.

I hope the dolphin stays cute for its whole evolution line... I don't want it to be an angry dolphin. Of course, it very well could be a shark, but I doubt it since we have Sharpedo already.

I hope it's true too, Frost.

Edit: Oh, ha, how sillly of me to overlook this thread. Thanks for merging it Frost. :>

Found this as well; didn't see it anywhere else here...



I'm going to make a wide guess that these are the starters (look at the colors). The water type looks to be a dolphin. :>

Deviantart. It's fake.

Man...... Then again, there's a good chance the starters will look something similar though.

dolphin starter=bomb

the tail of the snake and the blades on the back of the stag could easily be interchangeable. thought the blade on the stag
