Alright, it seems that Fire has won the main type poll by a reasonable amount of votes so I guess the question we’re all asking ourselves is “Is it going to be a dual type pokemon?”

The poll is as same as before, a bold poll. Your options for this poll are quite simple actually, you either choice No for secondary type and it would be implied that you want it to be mono typed or Yes and type out the typing you want Fire to be combine with (bolded of course). There are 17 type combos to choice from and they all have their pros and cons, it up to you to convince others that your type combo idea is worth their attention. As well as discussing pros and cons of the type combo you're supporting, you can also make discussions about if this fiery critter could be a possible evolution for an existing pokemon or not, what kind of role you like to have, and maybe some ideas on possible designs.

Now that I got most of the detail out of the way, let start voting people.
 
Yes, Grass.

I feel like certain types are excluded for the sake of creativity, and this leaves us with Grass, Psychic, Poison, Electric, Water, and Normal as viable secondary types. Out of these, Poison and Electric would arguably make the Pokemon worse, so I think they should be disregarded.

This leaves Grass, Psychic, Water and Normal. Psychic has the cool factor going for it, and Normal opens up the possibility for a Lion Pokemon.

However, when it comes to battle mechanics, Grass and Water have the most immediate usefulness. Grass removes Fire's Water and Ground weaknesses, while also giving it an offensive option against all three types it is weak against. Water does the same but to a lesser extent, though with every Water getting Ice Beam access, it's offensive coverage would actually be greater.

I'm sticking with Fire / Grass however.
 
bandwagoning grass

Given that the first 8 or so posts have been nothing but Grass, I think it's pretty safe to confirm it as a type and continue onto discussing basic concepts for a Grass/Fire. So far, we've had
-Panda
-Sunflower (Sunflora evolution?)
-Pepper
-Hedgehog

Thoughts on these, or any new ideas?
 
We've got to let it run for a little while longer in case someone decides to vote somthing else.

Like gsumbreon.
 
Fire/Poison Weezing Evo gets my vote.

(Gasp! Something besides Grass and Water! We all know Grass is going to win anyway.-_-)

Edit: Point taken. Fire also indicates energy. And Weezing couldn't be energetic looking if even if we popped him.
 
Weezing needs no Evo; it's good as it is. Fire would just open it up to Stone Edge weak leaving it unable to counter hera.
 
Not bandwagoning. Because Fire/Grass annoys me.

Fire/Normal. This is a badass typing. No question. I see a lion/panther working excellent as a character design here.
 
Would it be possible to ask people to give reasoning behind their voting? ALl mine is in the previous thread -_-
 
Yes; Fire/Poison although I doubt it will win, it'd be cool to do one with a common 4x weak so we could give it better stats/abilities. Plus it would still have some sweet resistances. I don't want to do electric because we should make that it's own poke so that fire and electric will each get an extra poke instead of one poke for both to share. In other words I think both fire and electric need more pokes so let's give them each more pokes.


P.S.
fire/fighting = firefighter! LOL.

Although to be serious fire/water would make a cool firefighter combo.
 
Again, i don't see your reasoning behind fire/psychic. Will it be a Evo of somthing? What will it do? ect, ect.
