Things that ARE NOT Pokemon yet.

I've been thinking about a pure Water Lapras pre-evo without a shell (because i consider the shell a major Ice attribute).

Ha, that's what I was thinking too!

No, not Fighting. It should be Dark.
EDIT: And if it's a fossil, it should be Rock. I think it should be an Ancientpower evolution, like Mamoswine. But its pre-evo would be pure Dark, or even Normal, and based on something else.

Oh yeah, all fossils are rock-type. Forgot that bit. xD;;

I mostly want more ghosts, more dragons, and even more water-types. You can never have too many water-types <3

For ghosts, I like the ghost/steel haunted suit of armor someone suggested. That would be badass. I can't really think of anything else right now, though. Nintendo has made quite a few ghost-types by now.

As for dragons, a poison/dragon would be epic, as would a non-legendary fire/dragon. :3

I have so many ideas for water-types, I can hardly name them all. xD a water/dark anglerfish (I'm sorry, lanturn is too happy-looking to be a proper anglerfish imo :C ), some kind of giant squid/octopus (the latter as an octillery evolution), a water/psychic dolphin, some plesiosaurus-like thing possibly as an evo/pre-evo for Lapras, some kind of water-type domesticated dog (like a Labrador retriever or something?) Pokémon, a lionfish that's either water/poison or water/electric (the latter just because someone on another forum made this really cool water/electric lionfish-like fakemon)...I could go on and on, really.

One more thing, I really really want a smilodon Pokémon for a fossil. Probably ice/fighting or something.

Some decent poison-types would be nice, too.

All of these ideas are pretty awesome! Especially the poison/dragon idea; maybe it could be based on a Komodo dragon or something. (I think new studies have shown them to be poisonous? Not sure on that one.)
 
What about having Kangaskhan's baby as an ACTUAL Pokemon?

Oh, and maybe a Mawile Evo/Pre-vo.

And a Puli dog Pokemon. (Puli dogs look like they have dread locks, and come in different shades of black and white, and it could possibly be named Pulic)

How about some more Fire types? (there wasnt many in BW)
 
There aren't many fire-types in general. I mean, if you think about it, there are only 19 final form Fire pokemon (not counting legendaries and alternate forms), when there are 52 final form Water pokemon (not counting legendaries and alternate forms).

So I would enjoy some more creative Fire-type pokemon. Like maybe a salamander! Or a fire fossil pokemon! (like perhaps based on a dragon, only Rock/fire instead of a dragon type, I don't know!)

1) Exactly

2) Yeah, that'd be awesome, but why not take a look at This right here?

3) That would actually be an awesome Idea. Wasnt there only like 1 or 2 fire/rock types?(Macargo and maybe camurupt?) There should be more.
 
Thylacine!(Ground/Dark) Platypus! (Water/Poison)And um....I dunno, sea urchin? Or do we already have a sea urchin? Sorry, I don't know many of the 5th Gen Pokemon yet.

EDIt: Fossa? (Ground)

What about a Pokemon based of a sea cucumber? I could see it defend itself by throwing up all over the opponent.

Or maybe a dung beetle?

Psyduck is a freaking duck and IT'S NOT PURPLE. THE HORROR!

EDIt: How do you do the View Post arrow?
 
(Look at the top right of the post where the post number is and click it.)

Oh, and isnt Qwilfish a sea urchen?

Oh, and maybe another butterfly pokemon?

I fail to see how fire/dragon is redundant. they're quite complementary, really, and the combination gets theoretically-perfect type coverage and misses only heatran.

Heatran is one less than Lanturn/Ice Rotom resisting Bolt-Beam.

This type coverage = good
 
Code: 
*Abil> uncnoabs [Dragon,Fire]
[]
*Abil> uncoverage [Dragon,Fire]
[(Steel,Fire,FlashFire)]
*Abil> uncnoabs [Electric,Ice]
[(Steel,Electric),(Fire,Electric),(Electric,Ice)]
*Abil> uncoverage [Electric,Ice]
[(Steel,Electric,VoltAbs),(Steel,Electric,Null),(Fire,Electric,VoltAbs),(Fire,Electric,FlashFire),(Fire,Electric,Null),(Water,Electric,VoltAbs),(Electric,Ice,Null),(Electric,Ice,VoltAbs)]

these are theoretical (reasonable ability assignment, with flash fire to fire-types only and volt absorb only to electrics, and I don't think I have thick fat in there, actually; lightningrod seaking gets missed, too) resistors. dragon/fire has none by type, and only one with reasonable abilities. there are things that break electric/ice purely by virtue of typing -- magnemite and rotom-f, basically. a fire/electric would, too.

It might be more than just type coverage. It might be the close connections between what the types represent. There is no Fire type in Digimon, and Dragon covers most things that are fire and/or reptillian.
But I think it might be good if there was a Fire/Dragon Pokémon that actually looked like a reptile and had more fiery collors. I know Reshiram is white because of its connection with the sun in the "ball of hot plasma that this planet is orbiting" meaning, but red and orange are typical "fire" colors, and a non-legendary dragon is more likely to be connected with plain old flames and/or lava.

EDIT: Also, this thread is about ideas for new Pokémon, not about unnecessary type combination. It's about what should be, not what shouldn't be. And the only reason I would find a type combination strange is considering the types too different to be compatible, like Normal and Ghost or Fire and Ice.
