So, what are the new type combos we'd like to see? I do hope we get something besides Fire/Fighting for the starter...aside from there, there are still soooo many they can play with. Ice/Steel would be cool. Or Ice/Electric...Ghost/Steel...Dragon/Fire would rock. Steel/Dragon or Ghost/Dragon would make cool non-legends...we already have Dialga and Giratina that are those types. I like some of those that are normally weak to each other...we already have Dragon/Ice and Electric/Flying. Fire/Grass...Fire/Water...
 
This recent trailer showed the fire starter using a psychic move wich hints that it might be fire/psychic. but really GF needs to stop the Fire/Fighting wagon, no one likes it anymore...

Evidently Fennekin line won't be Fighting, which is a relief.

On the other hand, there's Victini and Darmanitan-Zen sharing this typing, so it won't be a new combination.

Meh, not really. Loads of Pokémon learn moves that aren't its actual type.
 
Let's see... Ice/Steel would be nice. And maybe a non-legendary Dragon/Ghost and Dragon/Steel combo. Ghost/Fighting might be an interesting mix, as well as Grass/Ghost (Gardenia, watch out!). Fighting/Flying hasn't been done before, so that would make an interesting mix. Dark/Fighting I don't think has been done before either, so that's a possibility. I'm not sure if I can come up with other combos, as most of them are already taken.
 
I am at least stoked that it is highly unlikely a twiggy little fox will learn fighting, YES FINALLY CYCLE IS BROKEN!!

Scraggy and Scrafty are Dark/Fighting.

But I'd love a fire/grass type with chlorophyll, talk about broken in the sun.

Whoops, forgot about them. But yeah, a Fire/Grass type with Chlorophyll would be insane in sunlight. That's a double power up on that combo.
 
Although not necessarily new type combinations, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the Starters' types. I know the trailer really gives us nothing to go off of in forming educated guesses towards their types, but I'm just getting a vibe. If anything these are the combinations I'm hoping for.

Chespin: Grass/Fighting
Fennekin: Fire/Psychic
Froakie: Water/Dark
 
Grass/Electric (Only one out there is Rotom-C)
Poison/Dragon
Don't think there's a Fighting/Flying either, that'd be an interesting combo.

true that, but hey at least it is something to consider i mean come on we dont need another fire/fighter starter :<

I wouldn't mind seeing a grass/dragon.

Nor do i but seeing how Dragon type is so coveted and considered "the elite type" they might see it as a taboo on starters.

Advocating a Grass/Dragon Raptor here! If it's not in the game I'll throw myself into traffic!
 
So, I don't know everyone else, but...

I really am thinking the Y legendary will be a Flying/Poison. I don't know if it's the dark-magenta coloration, or the very odd shape, or even my own bias... But it certainly gives me that impression. The type itself is hardly a big deal, but it would finally be a Poison legendary!


I want a Bug/Dragon and a Grass/Fire. Or a compromise with Grass/Dragon along Volcarona, I guess.
 
^They could've used Bug/Dragon for Yanmega....but they wasted it.
 
I want them to have evolutions of past Pokemon unlike Gen V. Unova had so many Pokemon that looked like they were evolved versions of other Pokemon... *cough*Luvdisc and Alomomola*cough*
