What type mixes would you like to see in the new game? I would like to see Dark/Poison. It seems a natural combination, but hasn't been done yet, oddly.
 
Dragon/Fire is the only one that seems absurdly natural to me, yet hasn't been done yet.

Dragon/ ice would be cool...

*doesn't know anything beyond the obvious type weaknesses/ strengths*
 
I want to see some new ghost combinations. I also want to see something like fire/psychic or electric/psychic. Or electric/dark.

But what I'd really like to see if a dragon/steel, but that's a bit on the crazy side, I think.
 
I agree with Zeta that a Dragon/Fire type would be amazing. I'd also like to see a Dark/Psychic type, or a Rock/Grass type. (0.o Why am I picturing a moss covered rock..)
 
Normal/Ghost

-Immune to Normal,Ghost,and Fighting.Weak to Dark.Basically,this thing would be immune to the most commonly used physical attacks in the game.


Dragon/Steel with Levitate

-Resistances of Steel types,high stats of a Dragon type,immune to Ground type moves,and only weak to Fighting.


Fire/Bug

-Duh,a Fireant.C'mon Gamefreak,this one is so obvious.


Fire/Steel

-I don't know,I've always imagined it to be some 'T-1000' firey thing.

Dark/Ghost. I'm picturing an undead knight or something of that nature.
*EDIT* I meant to say Steel/Ghost. Although a Dark/Ghost pokemon with useable stats wouldn't be bad either.
Dark/Dragon. My dream combo.
Steel/Water. I see a Swordfish.
Dragon/Steel. It would make for a cool mechagodzilla type thing.

Maybe for the next games, the legendary trio (and face it, you know they'll have one) could be legendary dragons: Dragon/Fire, Dragon/Ice, and Dragon/Electric.

Maybe some cool new Bug/ combos. Branching away from Bug/Flying and Bug/Poison would be nice.

More pokemon need to be part normal. It's ridiculous that Girafarig is the only non-flying pokemon that's part normal.

Also, it's not a type combo, but would a pure flying type be too much to ask?

Poison/Dragon. Why not, besides it gives them no excuse to give it crappy stats(I want a GOOD poison type, dammit!). Plus it does make sense, in a way, if they make it a serpent-like Dragon like Dragonair or Dratini.
Fire/Normal. Since Normals usually have very wide movepools, the old "crappy, narrow moveset" problem that Fire types have should be fixed. Plus you gain an immunity to Ghost(weakness to Fighting isn't a problem, since about the only fighting move seen with any frequency(that's not on a Fighting type, but you don't see many using Fighting types anyway) is Focus Punch. It COULD be a problem if they suddenly decide to add more good Fighting moves and/or Pokemon, but as it stands now...)
Dark/Ghost...well, one that's usable in competetive battles, anyway
Dark/Psychic. It makes more sense than some other "opposite type" combos, plus there are a few canceled-out weaknesses(Fighting, Ghost, Dark). Of course, there'd be a 4x weakness to Bug, but that's not exactly terrifying seeing as the only good Bug moves are Silver Wind and Megahorn, which aren't on many powerful Pokemon.
Ghost/Normal. Aside from the neat fact that it's immune to itself, I can see this being more...normal...then that other ghosts, ie. having a more defined form and such.
Bug/Grass. It makes a lot of sense if you think about it; maybe it'd look like a stick bug?

Dark/Dragon. My dream combo.
Steel/Water. I see a Swordfish. <- That'd be really cool
Dragon/Steel. It would make for a cool mechagodzilla type thing. <- This is darn near invincible, if it had levitate it would be

I think I'd want to see this too, it just feels like it's been done though...

Ghost/Normal. Aside from the neat fact that it's immune to itself, I can see this being more...normal...then that other ghosts, ie. having a more defined form and such.<- good idea, what would it be weak to though? Dark and bug, so I guess not invincible
Bug/Grass. It makes a lot of sense if you think about it; maybe it'd look like a stick bug?I want to see a stick bug too, but paras is this type. It's from Red and blue too :p
 
I really like contradictory type combos. The Hassboh->Hasubrero->Runpappa line is great being Water/Grass. Dark combos are really interesting. I'd also like to see more Electric combos.

Paras/Parasect. Thay have a quad weakness to fire and flying though, so they would have to have great stats to be useable.

I agree with fire/water. Maybe something that shoots out boiling water.

Or a steam pokemon. It could be a superheated gas from deep-sea craters. And let's just give it Levitate to make it unfair. XD
 
Better than steam, gas Pokémon. Note that gas does not necessarily mean poisonous. Although, I suppose ghosts are close...
