Running Out of Type Combinations- What Will They Do?

[knifebaastard]

It's inevitable that every possible typing combination will exist. In fact, I believe we'll also see repeats of rarer type combinations.

That'd be so cool, I wanna see another fire/water typing

Yeah. They never really hyped up Far, Fairy, and Steel when they were introduced.

Well, Steel was kinda hyped... In Japan. At least I get that feeling considering they showed it as a mysterious and new type with Skarmory/Yoroidori in the Spaceworld demo.

And Fairy got Sylveon's announcement which came typeless, making people speculate about it.

Did they do anything with Dark aside from retyping Umbreon?

The title of the thread makes it sound pokemon will stop when they run out of type combinations. This franchise will only stop when the money stops coming in.

I misread it as 'this franchise will only stop when money will stop existing' and somehow it is even more fitting

theres also those type combos exclusive to megas––like fairy/dragon––that havent been available on normal pokemon yet

I just want Rock/Ghost to happen already. Fire/Fairy and Ground/Fairy are excusable since Fairy has not been around too long. Normal too since it is considered somewhat boring and honestly typings like Gogoat/Sawsbuck and Heliolisk are more seen like liabilities (the one thing Normal absolutely needed was done, and it is Hisuian Zoroark, Fighting/Ghost was too perfect coverage before that). Poison/Ice I cannot care much about honestly, it is only spared from a Fighting weakness but good luck with all the rest.

In any case I do not believe running out of combinations is that much of a problem, and a 19th type really is not needed.

The one thing i want is to have starter dual typings being different than the same typings (Not even the same combo's), being recycled.

Like, did we really need 2 part Dark cat starters or 2 part fighting birds back-to-back. Or have the same dual typings in back-to-back games (Dark, Ghost, Fighting). Like, other typings exist outside of those three Gamefreak. At least Empoleon, Primarina, Delphox and Venusaur stand out because of it.
