Do you want Dual Typing back?

[The Fallen One]

That is, do you want pokemon with more than one type again? For example, pokemon in Delta Species often were Metal and one other type.

I say yes, especially since a lot of pokemon aren't recognized to having more than one type (for example, Honchkrow has never been a Flying type).

 

[Meaty]

Yes. I wish they'd make all pokemon with 2 types in the game have 2 types in the tcg.

 

[Dimentio]

Yes. Dual-typing adds much more depth to the game and also keeps some other decks at bay, as it turns some fearsome Pokemon even more fearsome through weakness or added effects of Stadiums, etc. In a way, it both adds a new level to gameplay and irons out some of the decks that completely dominate formats.

dual typing makes the tcg more like the vg, and in turn, it does add more depth and would require more use of strategy in deck building and game play...I never really understood why they keep taking it out and then putting it back in...before DS, TRR was well known using dual type pokemon

 

[Lou Cypher]

I'd like to see that too, yes. Water/Colorless Kingdra, Psy/Fight Gallade, Grass/Water Ludicolo, Dark/Grass Shiftry, Fire/Colorless Moltres, Lightning/Colorless Zapdos, Water/Colorless Articuno, Grass/Psychic Venomoth, Steel/Lightning Magnezone, the list goes on and on.

Good thing there are no Steel/Darks.

 

[PokeChamp]

I don't want stuff like Delta Species back, but I would like to see REAL dual-types. Like Toxicroak being Psychic/Fighting, like he is in the games.

L.O.L.

steel darks would be quite vicious.
but they would need too many energies.

i think they should let it come back only on last evos, and maybe as pokemonpowers? so i isn't easiliy stoppe by a powerspray or dialga G X?

Mightyena Delta says Hi.

How is a Power not easily stopped by Spray? >_>

I already voted but didn't go into the discussion until now. I would like to see Stage 1 and Stage 2 Pokemon as Dual types, kinda like Red Blastoise does.
Also, I'd like to see more correct Weakness and Resistance. I miss the days where Normal had Resistance to Psychic because in the Nintendo games they are immune to Ghosts.

Grass/Fighting Cradily and Psychic/Normal Giratina/Girafarig are some other type combo's I'd like to see back.

because it's a poke"mon"power, see the diifference?

 

[Mr. Drif]

I want them back too but the other type should not be metal or dark like they were.

 

[Ice Espeon]

if they made a proper dragon type...

 

[Ka$h Money]

They shouldnt make dragon types as that will mess up with the game, the energies are made upon elements and dragon is not really an element...

 

[red blastoise]

and to top that off, you have many types of dragons, fire, water, ice, lightning, even earth, so they could just not make a dragon type xD

 

[Ka$h Money]

It would seriously mess up the game

 

[Ice Espeon]

Just a suggestion, no need to gang up on me.

 

[Ka$h Money]

We are not ganging up on you, we are simply pointing out the reasons why you should not add a new type to the game without a good reason, no need to take it hard on yourself

 

[qnetykz]

Dragons are Colorless...while they may lean towards one of the element or another, the base is still colorless...end of story

 

[CFOURCOLTSFAN]

Real Dualtypes is good, the fake DS ones are bad. So they come back but with real DualTypes, problem would be say a pokemon is psychic fighting. The pokemon it is attacking has weakness to fighting but resistance to psychic which is aplied first(that may explain why they took them out)?

in that instance, I believe it would be upto POP to state which would be applied first...more than likely, Resistance would be applied first to make sure cards like Lake Boundary wouldn't be overly abused to break the game...but once Lake Boundary would fall out of the format, the majority of pokemon out would be just taking the difference of the Resistance and Weakness applying it with the damage

 

[Blaine]

Generally, all cards applies Weakness first and then Resistance. Any effect that increase damage (Check Sp. Darkness) is applied before Weakness and Resistance, and effects that reduce damage (Check Sp. Metal) are applied after Weakness and Resistance. Also notice that all SP Pokemons have x2 Weakness and that there will be a new SP Lucario that does the same that Lake Boundary and can´t be stopped by Dialga G.
About the Dual Typing, I´d like to play with as it makes the game more intereesting, though if they do, they´ll have to give dual type to every Pokemon with Dual type and use all Weakness/Resistances possibles. That is good but also bad, because there won´t be different types Pokemon. With this I mean that if there is a Fighting/Fire Infernape with Psychic/Water Weakness, there won´t be an only Fighting Infernape with Psychic Weakness and an only Fire Infernape with Water Weakness, meaning that I can´t tech a Fighting Infernape to go against Water Pokemons in a Fire Infernape deck, nor tech a Fire Infernape/Fire Infernape LV.X to go against Psychic Pokemons in a Fighting Infernape deck. Hope you understand what I mean.
