That's why I like the grass starters, can't go wrong with grass starters.

Amazing sig, done by mighty Lokann
Liked most grass starters. I hated Meganium with a passion though.
Water is the only type where I only liked a few, Blastoise and Feraligator, every water starter from there on was pretty horrible in my opinion.
True, but those 2 had a pretty amazing movepool if we are talking pokemon in general.
The only Fire Starters I like are Typhlosion and Tepig :\
Most other times i've gone with Water or Grass.
As for Emboar, try a Curse/Gyro Ball combo. It will hit anything not resistant to Steel like the truck that he is.
Due to his high Health he can easily take the hits, especially since Curse also raises Defense.

There arent many flying only type, Tornadus is the UNIQUE single type flying, every other flying type pokemon are dual typed.....and we clearly see Sylveon doing swift. There are some posibilities,
-swift is now a light type attack(instead of normal) and thus means light type will be added to the game which means Sylveon would be a light type
-Swift is still normal type, meaning Sylveon is a normal type eeveelution (which would be A HUGE DISSAPOINTEMENT fo rme at least)
-OR Sylveon is Normal/Flying
-Sylveon is the second pokemon to not be a dual typed flying/??? pokemon.
I hope for a Light type pokemon
Probably going to be Flying or Flying/Normal.
edit: I people started to talk abotu a fairy type pokemon........PLEASE GOD NO, light typing coud be applied to older pokemon (lots of them actually) but fairy type would only apply to couple of them......

I find him disturbing, and even more so his evolutions. First time I saw Samurott in-game I couldn't make out what the hell he was. I could see a snout, and some hair, presumably beard, and then tons of golden shit I couldn't figure. I've heard from a lot of people that Oshawott is awesome in the anime, but since I don't watch it I just see a ugly Koala bear that looks like it needs to be stomped on. Luckily, the starters and the trios are the worst parts of Gen V, there's a dozen of other Pokémon in there I love.
Fighting is called Light in the Japanese games, which is why Dark is weak to Fighting. I don't really see how Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Machamp or any Fighting types represent any kind of Light, but they're still Light types in the Japanese versions. Plus, most Pokémon that would have a Light theme can be translated to either Ghost or Psychic.
I don't think we need another type, it's balanced quite well at the moment, I don't want a new type to come in and fuck the balance up. Dark was merely added in to balance Psychic types, especially considering there weren't many bug type moves in Gen II, only Twineedle comes to mind. And Steel... well to be fair I have no idea why Steel was added, it doesn't really counter anything that was OP in Gen I.
Anyways, I'm guessing pure Flying on Sylveon, it kind of bothers me that there's only one single type Flying, and its a legendary on top of that. I don't even see how it benefits any Flying Pokémon to be part Normal, actually, it just makes them neutral to Fighting moves, which they'd otherwise be strong against. I say bring the pure Flying types!

I've never heard that before. I've heard people say fighting type is Hero type in Japan (Dark type is "Evil" there), but never seen anybody back it up either. Bulbapedia has it as かくとうタイプ, which translates to Fighting Type.Fighting is called Light in the Japanese games, which is why Dark is weak to Fighting. I don't really see how Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Machamp or any Fighting types represent any kind of Light, but they're still Light types in the Japanese versions.

Nah light type pokemon would take some, currently normal, pokemon and convert them: example would be Chansey and co clefairy-fable, those kind of pokemon could be light typed, Pikachu could become a electric/light type who knows POSSIBILITIES.
And for the Japanese name they arent called ''light'' and the jaapnese name doesnt even mean light.
Even if common, still a normal type attack that would poitn toward a normal typing, and like others said it performs other attack like trump card and hyper beam that are also normal type attack (ok hyper beam can be learned by all maxed evolved pokemon) But it scream normal, and the name says seem to point toward flying type....which in turn would mean a normal flyign type. OH and last thign DO NOT FORGET that it is the lightest eeveelution to date.
That fire blast wasn't fire blast. If you look sylveon becomes a ball of energy and leaves the screen (you can see it's feet disappear).
So it's more likely to be double edge, brave bird, giga impact or something like that.
Hyper beam and trumph card is used by a lot of pokemon not just normal type.

Swift and hyper beam is found just as much on non normals to normals.Even if common, still a normal type attack that would poitn toward a normal typing, and like others said it performs other attack like trump card and hyper beam that are also normal type attack (ok hyper beam can be learned by all maxed evolved pokemon) But it scream normal, and the name says seem to point toward flying type....which in turn would mean a normal flyign type. OH and last thign DO NOT FORGET that it is the lightest eeveelution to date.
Just because you see swift doesn't mean it screams normal type.
The reason fighting beats dark is because fighting is supposed to be honorable combat while dark is supposed to be sneaky and underhanded. Most dark type attacks don't even cover literal darkness, which is also why dark beats psychic(tricks and theft). People call fighting "light" type because they assume it to mean good and dark to mean bad, but it's still fighting in japanese.
