I figured that doing a Ghost-Ground could also fit with keeping some similarities with Lucario's Fighting-Steel. Switch the Fighting with Ghost for the primary difference, and then Steel can be switched to Ground for the similarities (as replacing the Steel gets a more ancient vibe but with Ground it can keep a familiar feel).

"Dragonite won't lose its Dragon-type, it has Dragon in the name." The Kantonian birds would like a word with you. As for the Fire/Grass jack-o-lantern Pokémon, I think Gourgeist could take that honor with either an evolution, regional variant, or even just an ability that either changes its form or boosts its Fire-type attacks.

[@OriginalSpectorius]

Tbf in their names they only reference their main types (the elemental ones) instead of the Flying type, they are still birds but not every bird is a flying t-... 🤔 Edit: Took a moment to think about it and now I remember that Decidueye (both forms) dropped the flying type so they do exist (Altaria when it's the Mega too but I'll omit it)

[@selective._.armorie]

i haven’t seen anyone in the comments mention this yet, so i’m just gonna mention that, regarding a regional wooper ( 1:39 ), an idea i had was to give it an alternate evolution that is inspired by an Olm! an olm is kind of a cousin to the axolotl, but it’s longer and has no eyes as a result of living lower down in the ocean than the axolotl! i can see this evolution being water/dark, water/psychic, water/ghost, or even water/dragon!

[@Lusius8879]

regarding the jack-o'-lantern: we already have gourgeist. on top of that, the huge amount of fire type moves it already gets would make it easy to give gourgeist a fire/grass regional variant.

[@batsnghostz]

I know i got irrationally angry especially bc i love pumpkaboo and gourgeist. But it works so well as a ghost type already. Maybe the reigonal form gives it a ghost-stab ability

[@mightyandray7260]

I wouldn’t like it because regional variants are supposed to get creative giving it opposite elements (for example ice type sandshrew) gourgeist already having fire type moves makes the fire type variant just uncreative.

[@CooperGal24]

I think a regional variant Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist would work! Since Day of the Dead is celebrated in Spain, why not have a regional variant of the two Pokemon, but the pumpkins could be designed to look like sugar skulls, a kind of candy that's decorated for Day of the Dead? Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist Regional Variants could even have a cool backstory! They could be rumored to be the spirits of the departed family member or friend that inhabits a sugar skull, thus becoming a Pumpkaboo, and could be the guardians of said family and/or friend. And the reason for Gourgeist's evolution could be explained as high love and friendship from it's trainer, like how families would give their love to the departed when visiting their graves and clean/decorate them, a tradition on Day of the Dead.

Fun fact, thunder armor, while silly, makes some sense. Pikachu caused Swellow to become paralyzed and so Swellow got the Guts boost from it. Sure, there is added silliness from the thunder armor that makes it stupid, but it can be interpreted as just making use of Swellow's ability.

[@GigachadHGDYDBHDB]

The "Thunder armor" thing in the anime actually goes back to a scrapped game mechanic in Ruby and Saphire where Pokemon could perform combo moves in double battles.

Keep in mind our counterpart to Teraform would affect wild pokemon too, and will keep for very, very, very long time (it's not permanent tho)

In my custom Pokémon region, the Fleura Region (based on the Sunshine State), we have two new types: Cosmic and Sound. You can actually go to the moon to get Cosmic Pokemon cuz Florida is well known for Space Coast, and I gave the type not only to new Pokémon but to older ones as well. Maractus in particular was a Pokémon I thought needed some love because it's a very cute but very forgettable Pokémon, so I gave it the Sound Type and a new signature move "Fiesta," which acts sort of like Uproar in that no Pokémon can sleep during this time. It also has the added benefit of a decent chance of confusing the opponent as it goes on. It would be a special move. Another Pokémon that gets a new type is Elgyem and Beeheyem, which I changed from Psychic to Cosmic. Yes, I know it's strange to remove an excellent offensive type, but Cosmic is also an excellent defensive type, weak only to itself and Dragon, while also being immune both to Fire and to the new Sound type.

[@nyromath2195]

An interesting idea concerning Yveltal getting a regional form: Imagine a DLC for Scarlet/Violet which takes us back to the Kalos region (spain, france, real life borders, we all know this), or at least to an area of southern Kalos we didn't get to see in X/Y, where Xerneas and Yveltal are for whatever reason moving or being brought closer to the new region. If the leaks about type-changing gimmicks is true, then spinning a narrative that as Xerneas and Yveltal get closer to the new region, whatever effect it is that allows Pokemon to change types starts affecting them, and we wind up with cool new forms for them as essentially the mascot legendaries of this DLC. Imagine Yveltal becoming a benevolent, kind Fairy/Flying type, while Xerneas' antlers grow and sharpen and it becomes a Dark type. Absolutely never going to happen, but fun speculation that doesn't feel too far off feasibility.

Unpopular opinion: Gen 5 really gets the short end of the stick despite being a good gen (like all of them are).

I've always wanted to see female dragonairs evolve into something more similar looking to Dragonair..they could probably do that as a regional female only evolution, perhaps a Dragon/Ice type. I'd also like a baby cafe pokemon that evolves into miltank or Tauros

[@itsgonnabeanaurfromme]

We should move away from stereotypes of gender. Nidoqueen having a bikini and salazzle having a pinched waist is bad enough.

[@midniteguardian9803]

@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme you do realize that's how it is in nature for some animals right? While yes pokemon has gone to some extreme sexist things like your examples, in nature some animals, male and female species look different due to their gender, like lions, cardinals, betta fish, peacocks, even deer. There's so many animals in nature where the male and female of the same species look different, it's called sexual dimorphism. So there is absolutely no reason why pokemon shouldn't continue to do the same. I do agree though that the gender stereotyping of giving any pokemon a female sexual figure needs to stop, it doesn't mean they still can't look different. Also it's just never made sense to me how a blue Dragonair becomes an orange goofy looking dragon 😂

What I want most is a Grass Poison evolution of Shroomish. Shroomish itself could either stay the same or get a Grass Poison variant. I've always loved Shroomish way more than Breloom, and I've always thought it would have made a lot of sense for it to be a split evolution. I mean, Shroomish already gets two poison moves and... literally no fighting moves, so honestly it makes so much sense for it to have a poison evolution.

[@HollowAvarice]

Came back after release to hype up Ashton, Paldean Wooper and its new evolution Clodsire are not only great, but their Poison/Ground typing make them one of the most usual pokemon in the game.

[@jacobestrada1399]

This would never happen but I think the idea of “mixed breed” variants would be cool. For example you breed Kantonian Rapidash with Galarian Rapidash to make a mixed breed Rapidash. It could be Fire/Fairy. I’d love that and it would give new reasons to breed Pokémon.

[@lukacecilio4845]

13:04 Adding on to this, what if they made some of those fruits into items in the games, allowing you to level up a tropius holding one of these fruits to evolve it with a sort of alcremie aspect to it, meaning that the tropius evolution would have an aesthetic change to its appearance, or even make the tropius evolution a different type and different pokemon entirely depending on the fruit that tropius was given. 15:25 Agreed, maybe like a forest fire chikorita line (grass/fire), a steam cyndaquil line (fire/water), and a marsh/swamp totodile line (water/grass) would be pretty neat

[@linkster362]

Rewatching this in retrospect, I can’t help laughing at how accurate some hopes were, and saying be careful of what u wish for😂

I also am doing a Water/ Dark Sandile adapting to the humid weather of the region appearing more green and dark blue as well as the Gible line adapting to the same thing and being based on their beta designs (you can also find regular gible in the region (main game) with the Dex stating that several gible went off on their own and adapting to their new environment if that makes sense)

KInd of late comment but here goes: The Thunder armor Swellow can make sence. The way I always interprated it as, instead of knocking out Swellow it only paralized it. Swellow has the ability Guts, ups attack if the pokemon is suffering. So, when Swellow got hit it indured the attack (with Pikachu, who I think might have the hidden ability or Lightning Rod, taking most of the attack), getting paralized and then getting a massive ATK boost from it.
