So if it was going to be: Grass/Fighting Fire/Rock Water/Ice Kinage/Wiskiur would have a clear advantage over the other two. Grass is strong against water, fighting is strong against ice AND rock and neutral to fire. So that means Kinage/Wiskiur could easily own the other two. However, if they were Grass/Ground, it would work out much better. It would look like this. Fire > Grass > Water > Fire Ground > Rock > Ice > Ground So Kinage/Wiskiur could have a 4x effect to Draguer/Candsaur Draguer/Candsaur could have a 2x effect to both Kinage/Wiskiur and Speeloat/Slimzu But then that leaves the question of Speeloat/Slimzu. They could have a 4x effect to both Kinage/Wiskiur and Draguer/Candsaur. Then again, I guess all starters seem to be partially unbalanced. I'm not sure, because either way it seems as if it wouldn't work when you put all the types together. Just my two cents -Tator

I think that's how it originally was, on Aminako's fakedex. However, I think it was decided that Squibeel and its evolutions looked more fighting-ish than ground... So it was changed. Well at least I think that's how it is. I may not have gotten that all right. XD
Regardless, I doubt it will be changed, but you do present a valid point, which I personally agree with. ^^

Well, this thread is dead and has been for awhile, just been too busy to do anything with it.

Ohh ohh I want to comment on the locked thread. ~
You have quite a good point there. If anyone can think of something we can do without changing the fighting grass such as changing fire/rock to fire/ground or water/ice to water/psychic, that'd be nice.
I'll open this for a tiny bit.

I'd have to get a better look at the sprites, but from what I can tell from the outline of Candsaur he's too craggy to be Ground instead of Stone.
Psychic might work for Freezpool... except that its named Freezpool <.< And the final sprite does seem a little spikey to not be Ice.
One interesting idea is for Kinage/Wiskiur to be Electric-type. Sure, its a little bit of a cop out to Squebeel looking like Pikachu, but pokemon has had a pretty good motif of rodent-looking mons being Electric type. And I can't recall a Grass/Electric type, at least none is coming to mind. the outlines sorta look like they might fit, at least they don't look extremely humanoid like some Fighting mons or overmuscled.
Let's see how the typing plays out, just for fun.
Grass/Electric Fire/Rock Water/Ice
Kinage/Wiskiur vs. Draguer/Candsaur: rock and electric neutral, x2 fire against grass, Grass neutral against Fire/Rock Draguer/Candsaur vs Speeloat/Slimzu: Water x4 against fire/rock, fire neutral against water/ice, Rock x2 against ice Speeloat/Slimzu vs Kinage/Wiskiur: Ice x2 vs Grass, Grass x2 against water, Electric x2 against water
So that's a little more balanced, still has some hiccups with Speeloat/Slimzu vs Kinage/Wiskiur, but with Electric statage Kinage/Wiskiur would likely be a little faster and able to hit first, giving it the edge at least most of the time.
Thoughts?

Well if anyone would like to brainstorm a new name for Freezpool, be my guest. Candsaur could go either way, I think. And the Freezpool change is perfect as psychic/water. You'll see. The squibeel line looks way too fighting to even look electric. You'll see on that, too.

Well, if we WERE to change the type of the Freezpool chain, I agree about new names, but would the Concept Artist be ok with that? If SO, then I have a couple of names that I've thought of that seem to be ok, to me anyway: Psyphoon & Espool I would need to think of another one, but... tell me what YOU guys think.

I don't think changing it would be a problem. But the name needs to be short and simple.
