I'd love to have Water/Rock, Fire/Steel, & Grass/Ice starters

Lol all your ideas are so creative. All your bug ideas made me think of my own. It's a bug/ice scarab/dung beetle that rolls snow instead of dung. Credit to AC for the idea.Some of my favorite concepts from a Fakedex I've been working on are:
- Atterkopf, a Bug-type black widow spider/Skulltula that only evolves into the Bug/Dark-type Sinisilk if it's female
- Crickid, a Bug-type cricket that evolves into Locusatsu, which is a Bug/Fighting-type grasshopper based on Kamen Rider (and also my current avatar)
- Fleazebag, a Bug/Poison-type flea that evolves into a Docsquito, a Bug/Poison-type plague doctor mosquito
- Polarva, Chrysalice and Tundroth, a fluffy Bug/Ice-type moth line
- Buoytle, a bulky Bug/Water-type diving beetle/rhino beetle hybrid
- Armant, a Bug/Ground-type army ant that evolves into the explosive Commandant when it learns Self-Destruct
- Baoby, a cute Grass/Fire-type baobab sapling that evolves into Baoboom, a hulking but rather cute-looking Fire/Grass-type baobob treant
- Pillowhack, a Fairy/Fighting-type plushie that uses a pillow as a blunt instrument
- Storchick, a Normal/Flying-type crane chick that evolves into Storkata, a Fighting/Flying-type martial artist crane
- Jalapepper, a female-only Grass/Fire-type walking chili pepper that evolves into Habapepper, a Grass/Fire-type Steenee-like pepper girl, and later evolves into the flamenco dancing Grass/Fire-type Flamencabel
- Dirigigong, a Poison/Steel-type manatee zeppelin filled with poisonous gases that propels itself with its own gas.
- Toxnout, a Poison/Fire-type elephant calf with a gas mask face that evolves into Toxodont, a Poison/Fire-type mammoth with a safety hood face (meaning it has two trunks); this idea was suggested to me by Cilantro.
Thanks! Fleazebag and Docsquito are honestly just my way of coping with the lingering feelings of disappointment towards Spritzee and Aromatisse.Lol all your ideas are so creative.

I had also made a mosquito Pokemon, but it was bug/dark. Your idea has a better concept
I now kinda wonder why this isn't a thing yet... I mean, it's not like we lack cold climates. And we're definitely lacking in the beetle department when it comes to bug types...Lol all your ideas are so creative. All your bug ideas made me think of my own.

I love that idea. I mean, this almost feels like what Dodrio could have been, though then a flying-type version of Steelworker would be more appropriate.I'd love to see a regional bird which going a step further from Talonflame, loses its flying type in its final stage, and getting levitate or a flying variation of steelworker to compensate.
I'd love to see the irony of the regional bird losing its flying type.
My personal concept was a Fire/Electric bird based on lasers, which also gets its electric typing as an adaptation since it’s located in an urban region and has to sit on electric wires.
Your idea is very interesting. However, I personally would take a less straightforward approach to a Normal/Ghost variant of Teddiursa/Ursaring. My idea for such a variant with that typing would be the highly resilient Tardigrade (which are also known as Water Bears despite not being limited to aquatic environments) due to their ability to survive extreme conditions that would normally kill other organisms. It's almost like they aren't exactly "alive" in the traditional sense (hence being part Ghost).Depending on the concept, I think a Ghost/Normal combination could work perfectly well. It definitely is an interesting combination, as it's only vulnerable to Dark, takes reduced damage from Poison and Bug, and is immune to Normal, Ghost, and Fighting type attacks. As the Ghost type has also repeatedly been shown not to be literal ghosts (though some dex entries do connect them to spirits, or even claim certain ghost types to be reincarnated spirits), I do think the combination is also perfectly feasible conceptually. Actually, there's a subspecies of black bear called kermode or spirit bear. Most of these bears have black fur, but some of them have white fur, and feature prominently in local folklore. I could definitely see a regional variant of Teddiursa/Ursaring based on this with a Normal/Ghost typing. And that's just one example
I think this Pokémon idea could actually work well as a (kid-friendly version of a) Lovecraftian Horror/Eldritch Abomination creature: it contains ideas so foreign/nonsensical that it could literally poison your mind! Or perhaps its chemicals grant you vast amounts of knowledge at the cost of losing the ability to communicate coherently with other beings.Psychic/Poison interests me the most due to the mind contamination aspect.
Ghost is my favourite type, so anything that gets it will automatically become my favourite. I'm not sure how they'd make a Mega for Crobat though, it looks kinda 'done'. So a regional variant for Crobat sounds a lot better. Plus, regional variants allow for new movesets.If Game Freak views Zubat's annoying role as too iconic to change it like that, then the very least they could do is give Crobat a Mega Evolution with that Ghost/Flying type instead. Cut that poor evolutionary line a break, Game Freak!
As I was reading, that was actually exactly what I thought. Tardigrades would make a great base for a ghost/normal or ghost/water type. Thinking about it, it kinda surprises me tere isn't a Pokemon based on it yet. You definitely could do a lot of interesting things with the concept, especially with an ability that would remove weaknesses or something (an ability seems the best way to incorporate its real life counterpart's resilience).Your idea is very interesting.

Now that it think it over, my idea could work just as well (if not better due to having more creativity with the design) as its own Pokémon. In this regard, your idea for a regional variant for Teddiursa/Ursaring might actually be better than mine.
You had me at eldritch horrorI think this Pokémon idea could actually work well as a (kid-friendly version of a) Lovecraftian Horror/Eldritch Abomination creature: it contains ideas so foreign/nonsensical that it could literally poison your mind!

You could honestly do a lot of interesting things with a Psychic/Poison typing due to the conflicting themes of the types themselves (knowledge, cosmic power, and purity for Psychic; pollution, adverse chemical reactions, and illness for Poison).

The first thing that comes to mind with that typing is a Pikaclone based on the Jersey Devil.I'd like to see an Electric/Dark combination sometime in the future. It's rather surprising that they haven't made a Pokemon with that typing yet, as it really seems like an interesting idea.
Normal/Ghost type based on Schrödinger's cat.
It’d be simultaneously alive(normal) and dead(ghost)!
I would also love to see more ideas with the Fighting/Steel, Fighting/Ghost, and Steel/Ghost combinations. I know that none of them are technically "unique" as they have been done before (Lucario/Cobalion, Marshadow, and the Honedge line, respectively), but they are pretty rare and I think there are some cool ideas that could be done with them. Fighting/Steel could be a Pokémon based on a Knight or something, kind of like a more noble parallel to Bisharp. Or Fighting/Ghost could be a fallen warrior of the kind that appear in some different myths, maybe based on the einherjar of Nordic mythology. Or maybe based on like the headless horseman. It could be done it such a way as to fit thematically with Pumpkaboo and Phantum, maybe being found near a town based on Sleepy Hollow or something. Finally, a Steel/Ghost that could be like a possessed suit of armor or something to connect to the lore of the Honedge family. Honedge being a cursed/possessed blade, the armor could be the cursed armor of a dishonored knight who fell in battle or something.
