  4. Even more the reason why Primal Rayquaza should be Pure Flying. Don’t worry Dragon Lovers. Rayquaza can handle itself without the Dragon Type.

  9. Remember when May hated pokemon she just became a trainer to travel the world. Then she saw a coordinator use a Beautifly and wanted one then got her Wurmple mixed up with Jessie’s now she’s an amazing coordinator and I think people still cry from the scene of her crying after losing in the I forget what it’s called but the major contests when you have to have enough ribbons? Great anime IMO!! Just so good.

  10. Wait, can you guys imagine this: if the starters of a region become fire/water water/grass and grass/fire gaining the type they are bad against or maybe fire/grass water/fire and grass/water gaining the type they are good against

    • I imagined this in my mind. I also imagined a special suit for Ditto so it would be used as itself. By wearing this suit, It could have a massive movepool, become Normal/Steel, have its own Signature Move, and have its stats greatly increased.

  11. Noivs, I mean to, in responce to you altered question, make them more Electric looking. Maybe add lightning bolt horns instead and yellow streaks on tge body. Rippling electric waves as cutlets. Yellow eyes. Static claws.And maybe we could do a split evo? They both look great, and we could either do a stat or just appearance change. Make the centaur faster and minotaur bulkier.

    • “Yellow eyes” Pyram already has that 😮 Also, most electric types don’t have anything Iconic in their deisgn, mostly just a yellowish color or thunderbolt symbols.

      • But at least the horns. I think it’d look good. And split evo would be cool, and I also like the arms on the female one, just sayin.

        Reply
        • I could try it but i can’t guarantee lightning rod horns would look good. The horns have markings on them and a spherical thing that circulates the electricity and with lightning going across the neck connecting the horns 😮

          • I mean, like, for the male, make then straight up and jagged with the sphere at the top, and foe female, they can be kinda 180 degree lightning bolt with the sphere. Just make them look like the bends in lightninf bolts at some places and that’s my depiction.
