They say "Mewtwo Kakusei!" in the movie trailer, meaning Awakened Mewtwo. It's not exactly the same word for evolution, so it may just be a different from, Deoxys styles.

Akito Kinomoto · 2013-04-19, 17:02

Hopefully it's just different forms. I don't think GameFreak is so stupid as to evolve a legendary Pokemon.

But then again. XD

Would be interesting and sounds better than that shitty light types. But for Game Freak to massively overhaul so many pokemon would be unlikely.

JohnNiles · 2013-04-21, 16:43

I dislike BOTH proposed types. Thank god none of the people screaming for new types will ever be in the position to screw up such a franchise.

GDB · 2013-04-21, 18:14

Rather than a new type, if they want to shift up the metagame, make Poison not complete ass.

Terrestrial Dream · 2013-04-21, 19:07

True, it is about time poison types to get a legendary.

GDB · 2013-04-21, 19:19

A legendary won't cut it. I'm talking a complete overhaul of the type. One of the most used types is immune to it, it's weak to one of the two most common attack types, and it's only strong against an incredibly uncommon and weak type that is also weak to two of the better types (fire and ice).

Terrestrial Dream · 2013-04-21, 19:35

Perhaps an ability will do it then? Lets have an ability called rust, which makes poison types attack be super effective against steel types. I think this will be a fair trade as it won't be a major changes to the game.

Shadow5YA · 2013-04-21, 19:42

Considering the nature of the type, I don't think it's fair to expect Poison types to be good at sweeping or tanking. They're annoyers, and Toxic does that job just fine.

Magin · 2013-04-21, 19:44

To be fair... the reason why Poison gets so little love is the fact that it's been completely nerfed. Otherwise, if you think about it, it could in theory be one of the strongest types with little to counter it.

Which like, 90% of Pokemon can use. And it doesn't get stronger when used by a poison type. Considering all that, why would you ever use a Poison type because of its type? There are no advantages other than absorbing toxic spikes, yet a myriad of disadvantages. That means, on average, over 5% of Pokemon are basically useless merely because of their typing.

Terrestrial Dream · 2013-04-21, 20:35

So there is a rumor going that there will be new type in 6 gen, this is going to be very interesting.

Althought a Light type would be interesting, I thought Psychics were more or less confirmed to fill that role.

kk2extreme · 2013-04-22, 01:35

We don't need new types but new type combinations, i.e. dark/psychics, ghost/normal (cannot be hit by either ghost or normal moves

), fire/water

Steel/grass(I hope the grass starter is this)? Hopefully balancing out at least a few of grass's weaknesses?

Magin · 2013-04-22, 09:48

There's already a steel/grass type (Ferroseed/Thorn), and fire completely decimates it...

Meh, I've never really cared for the Ferro family. I'd rather have the starter be Steel/grass. Or Dark or Ghost/grass. And as for the fire weakness, well, all I can say is: Some things never change. The fire type so far has destroyed many, many, grass pokemon and it'll most probably continue to do so until kingdom come, or at least until the last Pokemon game comes out. Whichever comes first. At least with Steel a grass type can get rid of a couple weaknesses here and there. Or at least weaken the increased power.

5% is a pretty small.
