@darkvioletcloud If I remember correctly, there were a bunch of rumors about new types, but I didn't really expect there to be a new one added. I don't know if anyone predicted Fairy-type. I still feel it was an odd choice compared to a more general "Mystic" or "Magic" or even "Fable" type.

@undeaddragon88-blog That'd be kind of cool. There's... what, around 15 food-based Pokemon (including fruits)? But that might be tough to categorize because technically, all Pokemon could be food (just like all animals)? Maybe just for Pokemon based on artificial food? A Confection-type, maybe?

@friendlyneighborhoodmadscientist My thoughts exactly for Sound. Music is probably too narrow a name, though they did go with Steel-type instead of Metal, so it wouldn’t be impossible. Psychic encapsulates Cosmic, but I don’t necessarily think it should. The cosmos/space is different than psychic powers and could be treated as such, if they want to. The Ancient-type idea is more of focusing on primitive power instead of focusing on ancient = fossil = rock.

@spiderqueenpc I love cosmic horror, so I think that sounds really cool! I guess Ultra Beasts do fill that roll of extra-dimensional creatures, but I’m not the biggest fan of them, so I’m all for Forgotten-type.

@april-ace Oh, I like that! I always found it anticlimactic that Areceus is just Normal-type (by default).

@severebagelmakerpeach I like Mystic. Rubber seems really specialized, I think an Artificial-type might have more applications? That’s an original idea though, it makes me interested in checking out the Zorneo region.

@tokiro07  Beast feels like a combination of Normal-type and Fighting-type to me, but it could be cool. I really like the idea of a Healing-type. New type or not, those move ideas are awesome!

@officialscud I thought of Nuclear-type while making this list! Ultimately I feel it falls too closely under the umbrella of Poison-type (even though they’re different), but I gotta say, that hits differently after finally watching the HBO Chernobyl miniseries.

@prince-amethyst Naturally ;)

@apokeypse-now Probably not. But maybe those ideas could fit together with @tokiro07​′s Healing-type to be... Bio-type?

Just one tiny detail: Beetle pupae come from inside the larva: a final instar larva molts its skin, and what comes out is a pupa, from which the imago will come out by the next molt (as Vikavolt does there). Still, damn nice work, glad to see this project still ongoing after all these years.

Thanks for the info and your kind praise! I like researching the animals Pokemon are based on and incorporating real world life cycles into their in-progress stages. I did look into Stag beetle life cycles and kept the info I found in mind. While the dex entries don't tell us much about Grubbin's transition into Charjabug, I based my concept on this official image from it's settei (reference sheet):

You forgot the “Joltik not to scale”

I would never! The “not to scale” warning is still there, just a little more subtle this time around.

It did not redirect me to Feebas and I actually find that mildly disappointing

Wait… this isn’t a redo? I thought you did this one? Oh God… Is it all blurring together? I want the memories to be distinct!

This is SO COOL What is the name based on? Canopic + ???

Old version link is broken, at least on the app.

the old version just takes you to the Liepard post so I assume it was deleted maybe

Isn't Fire/Water the same as Water/Fire...?
