All I can say is that the Ground type would give horse STAB on High Horsepower. As for abilities, recently Game Freak has established a trend of giving horse-specific neigh abilities so that's something to keep in mind.- what is a good typing for a horsemon? what about ability?
- what should the horse do in the meta? (nb: there's absolutely zero chance this thing gets coded into showdown so this is purely hypothetical)
- do we want our horse to be similar to or different from current horses?
I think we should have a really evil horse. What about the kelpie? Kelpies are really cool, and I don't think we have a Pokemon based on that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelpieone of the most important questions to answer here, as put forth in the original concept, is if our horse should be good or evil. I believe the horse should be good.
frankly, most of the existing horses are morally neutral, at best. the only one that stands out as definitively good to me is keldeo (which was one of the best horses for a long time). the most evil horse was spectrier and we all know how that one went. I just don't think that making an evil horse will lead to an end product that we can be proud of.
with respect to typing, dark and ghost are morally evil so they should be ruled out. bug and poison are more debatable but I would argue that they're also evil. lastly, I don't think we should be the same type as any existing horse, because every horse is unique. the rest of the typings are all conceivable options for us.
Why, are you really scared of Normal horse? Are you weak? Do you fear being kidnapped by a horse while on a school trip? (okay I can forgive you this last one since it actually happened to me)Nah, we need more...creativity. We can’t just have a plain old horse. You guys need to remember that’s this is Pokémon, no Pokémon is just plain, there must something special about them (excluding normal types). I am not voting for normal horse
No, it’s just that normal animals in Pokémon make no sense at all. Every Pokémon at least has one quirk.Why, are you really scared of Normal horse? Are you weak? Do you fear being kidnapped by a horse while on a school trip (okay I can forgive this last one since it actually happened to me)
no.in a world like pokemon where everything is like a water-balloon racecar or like a stapler that can sing, normal horse is unique
it's gotta be normal horse

this is wrong, because it implies that every horse isn't already specialYou guys need to remember that’s this is Pokémon, no Pokémon is just plain, there must something special about them (excluding normal types). I am not voting for normal horse
horses are special, but they can be even more special if we make them have some quirks. And besides Normal is ass.this is wrong, because it implies that every horse isn't already special
I support normal horse
yes we knowhorses are special, but they can be even more special if we make them have some quirks. And besides Normal is ass.
i do not support normal horse

Let's have a horse that tricks unsuspecting trainers into riding it, then takes them to the bottom of the lake, drowns them and eats them. Maybe Water/Dark for the typing
that would be epic.what if we brought the horse upstairs and kept it by a window so it could look outside
