My vote goes to Ghost, largely because it'd give us a neat opportunity for a pirate ghost Pokemon. Like, I dunno, maybe a Plesiosaurus/ghost pirate ship, like Naviathan from Smogon's Create-A-Pokemon project, only Water/Ghost instead of Water/Steel.
 
We've had Fire/Fighting and Grass/Fighting, how about Water/Fighting now? From my prior experiences, it's a very solid, albeit rare combo. I'd like to see it more often.
 
what about the motive?

Blastoise, ship with canons
Feraligatr, wild croc
Swampert, axolotl and swamp creature
Empoleon, Pinguin, napeleon and waterloo
Samuotrr, samurai with shels,
Primarina, greek mermaid, sirena(filipines,poland), kelpie, singer with clown nose

Water/Fighting
with what speed? what animal?

what could the also do Vikings were associated with water, perfect motive for a secondary typing and for a colder themed region .

Taking that grass is stronger and fire is weak, vikings were faster then samurais? but rather will be slower then a kickboxer? how do you think? +acces posibily to aqua jest , ice shard, ach punch maybe, and taking how many threads of flying, grass,psychic, fairy electric there are, better is has more attack, defense, sp. defense then sp. attack, sp. attack could be 75points or less for once, a non special attacking , physical oriented water pokemon.

(vikings met native americans in the past and they could met indian or arabic sword fighters too, two other motives for grass and water maybe???)

or maybe they will take back the beast path and only add elements, like egiptian hat... wow the nile is a dirty river with a lot of waste, what animal could be associated with such?

Taweret (egiptian god)

South american tribes and warriors hunt for wish. Jaguars do it too.

there are sea-lions, sea-horses(Hippocampus), sirens(half bird in greek), Lamia, Gajasimha, Gajamina,

omg a water starter that evolves into a whole ship would be so cool
 
For me water/ghost would need to be massive.
Water pokemon are rather blue, but they could make once a black , dark blue or something in that manner. or geen or totally yellow?
 
Water/bug or water/ghost.
Water/bug: a sea snail or slug.

water/ghost hippocampus or Kelpie (other than the pirate concept that's really cool).
 
Still think Water Starter is a Platipus when evolve became part Psychic type.
 
*breaks down thread walls* did someone say Platypus!!! Of course this would mean the region would be based off of Australia which would mean the game would be impossible to beat.
 
an water/poison platipus would be awesome.

as for other not mentioned animals, i can see a capybara, beaver, snake, crab, and tons of waterfowls, other than that i can't think on other semi aquatic animals

If there's a water platypus here should be either a fire or grass echidna.
 
Any reason that only a partial number of the types are options above?

Anyway, I'd like to see Water/Fighting or maybe even Water/Poison.
 
Water/Fighting would be awesome! But then I think of Dewott and Samurott and get sad. Wasted potential. smh.
I thought about steel with it ather bacuse samurais used swords and it has those shels and armor.
But we always have chances for a mega or 2 mega forms if they change their mind.

do you want people who vote normal? fire? grass? for trolling?
