I totally forgot about the Dragon Scale that Seadra uses to evolve even if as you said it is a mystery as to how it all of a sudden becomes a dragon although I had never heard of a sea dragon before it still is a fish just with Dragon being part of it's name that could at least be part of the reason and Hunter is another perfect example of an evolution that makes no sense just because of it being traded. As for the Trapinch family Flygon is a dead on dragon but the first two are more insect like even if Vibera has a bit of a dragon look it is still closer to a bug so Bug Ground would be a better typing for the first two although I did read the parts about the east asia dragon influence which I only know a decent amount of european ones so that may be part of it but even then it takes it back to the Charzard thing about it being a dead ringer for a medieval dragon and the reptilian nature of it's family makes it even weirder since a dragon is pretty much a fire breathing lizard with wings. If the Axew family can be seen as a dragon for being based off of a dinosaur since there is not a dinosaur type unlike Yugioh then it just makes everything weirder. The Dragon egg group relation idea is pretty good at reptiles being at least somewhat dragon like but still kind of weird the monster group would make more sense for some of them although that still leaves the whole Skitty and Waillord thing which makes the Charzard not being a Dragon seem like a far smaller thing overall. When it comes to the egg groups pokemon has so many wtf moments it just baffles me. As for Jirachi I still get a laugh just thinking about it's fail typing but Empoleon as a flying type would make no sense as it could not fly so pretty much it is the best they could do without making it a pure water type unlike poor blastoise. I mean Water Steel would not kill the poor thing plus Iron Tail and Iron head would get a boost and the Cannons could always fire Flash Cannon so there are a few things to work with. One thing I would love to see would be triple types as it would solve a lot of issues such as Charzard becoming part Dragon as well as Gyarados and Kyurem's new forms would gain an extra type depending on which one it is in. Sure balancing would be an issue but some pokemon such as Mewtwo are far from balanced anyways as far as having at least 1 major weakness since it's Aura Sphere pretty much is a Nightmare for Darkrai. *cough* Pokemn is based in Japan... their mythologies (and Chinese mythologies) Pokemon are filling up the dex more than the occasional western dragons skitty and wailord are both mammalian. Whales technically evolved from land-dwelling animals into the sea. ha. also, i hope i don't contradict myself, but some things I think nintendo to it for balance. Can you imagine the early game imbalance if charizard is dragon type? venusaur and blastoise would be swamped! You're still pressing on the water/steel blastoise I'm not gonna go there again lol. mewtwo is a legendary.... legendaries tend to be way off chart anyways haha.

I know that it is based in Japan but since Gyarados is based off of a cross of a sea serpent and Eastern Dragons it kind of makes it typing really weird. The skitty thing was more or less a reference to their size and that physically it would be impossible for them to breed either way without artificial means which is why it is just so weird. I will admit balence may be part of Charzards type but then again Blastoise is the only first gen starter's final form which is not a a dual type and both Water/Rock and Water Steel have good points for both even if the cannons firing something else than water would be weird the new Mewtwo form is a perfect example of them changing something out of the blue for no reason and Blastoise being a dual type makes at least as much sense as Empoleon as it has no real steel part's except maybe the ends of it's wings which is less of a steel area than the cannons Blastoise has.
As for the Legendaries power it is true they are strong but most have at least 1 major weakness such as Deoxy's lacking either attack or defense depending on it's form except maybe the normal one and Regigigas having great stats but it's ability hampers it while mewtwo has only 1 major weakness before Genesect came out. Even Genesect has a x4 fire weakness so it's high stats for a bug are offset by that but Mewtwo can counter almost anything with the right moveset with almost nothing to counter it. Not that I am against a 1st gen pokemon still being powerful since I have played since Red and Blue but after all this time it should not be as strong as it is. Even if all they did was get rid of Aura Sphere it would make if far less overpowered as Darkrai would be a huge counter for it.

There was a theory awhile back...
that the stars at the end of the title were because there may be a shiny in the new Pikachu short. In this second image, Sylveon is sparkling. What if we can't figure out the type because the colors are for its shiny version? After all, the main movie has a Shiny Genesect.

I don't care how much it may or may not suck, I have to have that Panda Pokemon. And the new bird looks pretty cool too. Please use spoiler tags like the other members. -Andrew.

"During the Ikimono-gakari's garden party radio show in Japan earlier, it was revealed that a special Eevee is to be distributed. This Eevee is to know the move Sing and is based upon the Eevee in the upcoming movie short, Pikachu & Eevee Friends."

Nintendo revealed that there WILL be a new Type, the "Fairy-Type", this new Eeveelution will have the new type. "The Fairy type is super effective against Dragons and includes new Eevee evolution Sylveon as well as retroactively including Jigglypuff, Gardevoir, and Marill".
The games are also coming out October 12, 2013. And with the Pokemon-Amie thing, you can feed and care for your Pokemon, along with petting them. So yeah that's all the new news I have at the moment.
Note: Screw spoiler tags cause someone dumb enough to look here and then whine about spoilers deserves it. >: Recent Posts, Ultra. Also, spoiler tags require less effort than your note. Kthnx

Personally, I think the Fairy-type is unnecessary. Obviously, they need to change things up because people will eventually get tired of playing the same game. If they really had to introduce a new type, there are so many types that would make so much more sense (not Light-type — I think that's stupid too, lol).
The Pokémon-Amie thing is...meh. It'll get boring after an hour. I don't really like the direction they're taking. The amount of cute things in the newer games is starting to kill it for me. That being said, I'm still really impressed with the graphics and the character customization thing.

It's going to take me a while to get used to this new type..
the fact that it kicks dragon butt is not yet appealing to me
also, imma guess a fairy gym leader or elite four is in order...
