Aaaand… what's the types remaining NOT counting legendaries? Sure we have a fire/water type now, but it doesn't count for much when its nigh unobtainable and not playable in the main game.
.
I agree. Also, this list considered mega evolutions. As much as I love Ampharos, how awesome a thunderstorm based Eletric/Dragon would be?

Make sure to tell him he being dumped for pokemon!
Fire/Fairy and Ground/Fairy are ones I'd love to see sooner rather than later… using just fairies leaves me super exposed to steel and I want that concern gone.
Though even then, after alola Ninetales blew away all expectations I had for an ice fairy, poison/fairy is next in line for most wanted.
I'd also make the chart mega-less, or making a category for megas and legendaries besides it.
Ill make something later.
So this is an updated (as of September 2016) list of unused Type combinations. Can't believe Gamefreak still hasn't changed Yanmega to Bug/Dragon
I don't know why they would make Yanmega Bug/Dragon but far be it for me to ponder why or why not Gamefreak comes up with certain typings for certain Pokemon.
I don't see the need to remove megas from the list, since there's pretty much only four megas I can think of with unique typings (excluding legendaries) and all of them are ones you can use in-game and aren't completely broken competitively (Mega Charizard X, Mega Ampharos, Mega Altaria, Mega Sceptile.)
If you don't get the mega stone until the post game, and it's locked onto a previous gen's starter, it's not really an "in-game" monster. Same as giveaway legends.
Plus the whole "mega stones take up an item slot and only one per fight" thing.
Similarly, Rotom allows for a whole bunch of different electric types, including a few unique ones, but I'm not sure how much it should legit count for, since you can't exactly stack a team with them, and its difficult to get (generally a unique one per game that can't be bred) and then transform. Just because electric/grass and electric/ice and electric/fire and electric/ghost exist doesn't mean they've really truly been given to anything..

All of the megas I mentioned, which are all of the ones with unique typing, have their mega stone given to the player in-game, so that argument already falls flat. They are all also tied to pokemon that are easily obtained in their respective regions. By your logic, let's not count anything that is difficult to get.
Pseudo dragons happen too late, let's not count them. And have you noticed how you get a beldum from Steven post-game? Let's discard that too.
Same goes for Rotom. To my knowledge the game gives you the ability early on to change its form how you wish, so changing a Rotom form is as easy as evolving an eevee into certain types. But we're not discounting those either.
Legendaries I can get since they're usually restricted in a variety of means, and not something you can count on running consistently in game or competitively. But the ones you are trying to discard from counting just seem like arbitrary rules so that you get to say "I want a REAL electric/grass (or w.e. else)", where real is really only defined by your arbitrary categorization of what has value and what doesn't.
The presence of those typings has two purposes as I see it: in-game flavor, and competitive play. For the former, it's definitely great to get more unique pokemon with those missing typings, but megas do serve that to some extent. For competitive play, it is assumed that you have everything possibly available to you, so the megas can't be discounted (and some of those type changes are important).
There will be Exeggutor Alolan form and Turtonator as representatives of Grass/Dragon and Fire/Dragon non-mega Pokémon. Only Mega Altaria and Mega Amphardos retains type exclusivity and looking at Cyke's image Fairy, Dragon and Eletric receive a lot of attention from Game Freak.
Surprisingly the elemental types have almost all combinations possible and Fight, Poison, Bug, Poison, Ice and Fairy who have a lot of unused types.
Good point, forgot about Turtonator and Exeggutor rendering those typings no longer unique. Furthers my point I guess XD
What we really need is an Ice/Bug with a unique ability that reverses its resistances and weaknesses
it will be the wall that keeps Alola safe from harm

So now the art quality is going down also on those specials Oo, the TR grunts segment was really bad, what the heck was that walking.

That one was fun, though I was looking forward more to Lance making those Electrode faint.
I thought that was the best episode so far.
Dragonite ftw!
This one is really good! As I watched, though, I wondered if there is anyone out there who sees Electrode as their favorite pokémon…
Those Rocket grunts have the best walks.
They try so hard that it's admirable.

The grunts and the admin were.. unpolished.
Dragonite and Lance were BAMFs

I think that Dragonite's reaction face to this was what really sold the awkwardness to me.

Cromartie High School was such a beautifully inspiring anime.
When is the next round of info coming?
3DS FC: 0087 - 2971 - 9910
When is the next round of info coming?
Tomorrow, at the usual time of the others wherever you live in the world.
The one on the far right looks like he's sleepwalking
"Not James" is walking like he crapped in his pants
The one on the far left needs a back supporter to stand up straight
"Not Jessie" is the only normal looking one in the group, unless you think she walks like Miss Doublefinger
At that point where seeing activity here makes my heart jump thinking leaks are happening <_<
It's information on Type: Null tomorrow, I believe. We're suppose to be getting 'special' information about Type: Null sometime in October.

Wasn't that on CoroCoro though? when they said they would reveal the true power or wtv of Type: Null next month(this one)?
I kinda hope it's more than that… type: null is not that interesting to me.

I think the point of the extra information on him is to make it more interesting.
Yeah, Type: Null information will be contained in the next release of the Coro Coro magazine. So today we should be getting something new.
Well… August 1st, or the first update in August, we had Alola forms revealed. On September 1st, or the first update in September, we had Ultra Beasts revealed. So...maybe...just maybe...another new mechanic regarding Pokemon revealed today, OR, and hear me out here...perhaps they are going to talk about Mega Evolutions finally, and reveal new ones?

Nice stuff, the middle stages look pretty nice(I tend to really like them), but looking at them the Owl doesn't really seem to fit the last evo from the leaks, or maybe it's just the art, super snob turns into a ninja bird or something.
The one I liked most was the kitty.
Greninja Bullshit forme is ingame interesting, and seems we got a bunch of mini games to gain items, and those star currencies to buy outfits.
So the english trailer confirms megas nice.
A demo? so they didn't learn from the ORAS debacle? the demo leaked everything, I guess I'll have to leave the internet a month earlier.

Basically, Gamefreak went through the Internet collective wishlist.
-Starters evolutions
-Mega evolutions
-Ash-Greninja
And it seems that the day care got replaced by a mechanic that can level up more than two pokemon but also make them find rare itens
And we'll get a demo version on October 18th!

Turns into sauve, robinhood Bird.
I love that they're still calling it Ash-Greninja even though Ash/Satoshi has nothing to do with the games.
Love all mid stages. Popplio's evolution looks like the final form leak might be true
Dartrix: Bitch I'm fabulous!
My cute owl just became even more awesome. And the other evos also look fucking dope.
@The:

I guess I was looking it from a snob point of view, not suave, I guess that makes sense.

Well he looks like him, but yeah in game lore he doesn't exist, maybe they put him in game this time.
Thank god confirmation on Mega, so people can move on and stop discussing endlessly if they will be or not in the game.
Regarding the mid stages.
Dartrix looks cool, not really excited, but I like it. I can't see it evolving into the Rowlet3 we know, though, so this somehow makes be hopeful they will get split forms.
Torracat!!! Hmph… I LOVE IT! Add Litten3 to it, and I am seriously thinking about changing my starter to Litten.
Brionne. Hmmmm... nah. Just like Torracat, though, it is clearly leading to the leaked final stages.
New features look interesting too. I just hope the demo doesn't come with all the data from the full game.
Dartrix boyz for life!
Ash-Greninja makes no sense all around, they must have been piss lazy if they couldn't change the name. Or the appearance…
Told people megas weren't getting cut over something silly like Z-moves lol.
Apparently Ash-Greninja is banned from the competitions, at least the first one, it says Legendaries, and the special Greninja obtained in the demo aren't able to take part in it, Mega Stones are also not allowed, I guess that is how they fixed everyone using Kangaskhan, and the lack of balance.
Looking at Torracat, it seems the flame necklace it has , becomes the flaming belt on the third stage.
They could have given the Greninja a different name, and give it some colour changes to fit the trainer haircolour, and I think they would have fixed their "Ash-Greninja" problem, just call it Greninja bond forme or wtv.
It looks pretty clear the leaks were legit (hell, they have been for months), but whether that confirms the arts is a different story. I'm even surprided Litten is still on its fours after evolving.
