steel-rock-fire is one that's almost perfect. each is x2 against one type and .5 against the other. fire v. fire is .5 and steel v. steel is .5, so the only anomaly is rock v. rock is x1.

there's fighting-dark-psychic too but that's one's pretty unbalanced.

like most types, both of those are very good types when used right. some types are shit no matter what though, like lol poison.

I don't like the types that don't mean anything tangible. This is where the classic RPG elemental types (fire, rock, water, etc.) excel, but what the hell is dark? Or normal? Bah!

i love ice for some reason. seems like everything is weak to it. perhaps it was just a trend in one of the games.

and yes, i know that it's only super effective against four types.

hey, better than poison's one. ice is a great type.

red chamber dream

looking at the type chart, there aren't many types that are super effective against more than 4. the average is probably around 3.

The real deal?

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

Let's see... a sad Pikachu recolor, a an upside-down dolphin, or a motherfucking scorpion with FLAMING STINGER CLAW.

Tough choice this gen.

Meh, I always pick fire anyway. Never picked anything else.

fire one looks cool but i'll probably go with the water one this time. will be the first gen where i don't pick the grass. i can see the water one looking bad ass when it's done evolving.

Those don't look anything like the silhouettes Serebii posted yesterday. These three look like a panda-esque creature, a dolphin-esque creature, and a fire ant/scorpion to me.

If these are the real deal, I'm likely going with the water one since I love dolphins. Then I'd probably go with the panda one since I like those too, even if that means I leave the fire type (My starter of choice 3 out of 4 generations for my first go around) for last. And I agree with you Ark, the water type could end up being really cool once it's done, although I can say the same thing about the fire type at least.

Edit: Out of curiosity, what magazine are these pictures from?

yeah it actually seems like those are probably fake. oh well.

Gamma_Metroid

Yep, turns out they are fakes. The scorpion would have been cool, though.

Ready to internet!

The scorpion looks like it would take shit from no-one. I'm not sure if it's good that they're fake or not. The silhouettes on Serebii make the Diamond gen look good.
