Space Type: The Final Frontier

Pokemon is running out of type possibilities. There, it's out there!

Last time Pokemon fixed the ol' typing chart was in good ol' Gold an' Silver! Back then, two types meant WORLDS of opportunities!

Now what, though? Think about it. Water has been paired with all of 'em but Fire. Flying's matched up with everything but Fighting. The other types are gonna be paired up sooner or later! You're gonna get screwed, Pokemon people!

So whatcha gonna do about it? Are ya gonna leave it until ya decided ta cancel the franchise?

OR YOU CAN COME UP WITH SOME NEW POKEMON TYPES.

Don't gimme that look. You know they should. What else could they do?

I want a Space type. I can list ya some good type combinations and the resulting Pokemon!

-Space/Rock: Meteor. Yeah, Solrock an' Lunatone, but that ain't never stopped 'em before!

-Space/Fire: Sun. Not Solrock, ya numbnuts! Where are all the sun-based Pokemon? NOT SUNFLORA. IT'S A SUNFLOWER. Name me a Fire-type Sun Pokemon. NOT VOLCARONA. It's like the sun, not literally.

-Space/Dark: BLACK HOLE. WHERE'S A BLACK HOLE POKEMON???

-Space/Ice: Pluto. Yeah, that's right.

Space/Dragon: A SPACE DRAGON. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?

I ain't gonna give 'em all to ya like that! I gotta give ya some trouble, Gamefreak!

There's other Pokemon type options, guys! How about Virtual? Porygon exists! So build on that with Virtual-type Pokemon!

"After creating Porygon, we realized the possibilities for new Pokemon were limitless. So we created an email Pokemon. Unfortunately, it evolved into Spamack, a Virtual/Dark type. Despite this error, we didn't give up. We created more Virtual Pokemon, such as Texatule, the Font Pokemon, which is much more impressive than Unown since they can be Tahoma or Arial, not just some stupid letter. We also created the Virtual/Psychic type Innernette, which know what we want by asking it."

Somethin' like that! I dunno how these would be in battle, but it's somethin' to go on! Besides, there's plenty of artificial Pokemon! Castform, Mewtwo, Genesect, maybe Ditto if ya read between the lines, the whole Porygon family...

An' Space type too! Come on! There's the Clefairy family, Elgyem an' Beheeyem, Solrock an' Lunatone, Deoxys, Jirachi, Giratina, Unown... Some of 'em aren't even from the same world!

So don't limit your choices to 17 Pokemon types! Expand! EXPAND! Enjoy!

Next time we'll talk about what I like to talk about, which isn't what you like reading about.
