What if Pokémon Were Only a Single Type?

Out of the hundreds of Pokémon across the series a great many of them combine different types together to form unique pairings, however what if didn't? What if, by some fluke or limitation, Pokémon were only allowed to be defined by a single type? How would that change some of our most beloved pocket monsters and influence how they interact with the world?

    now we need a mod where evey pokemon that's normally dual type gets to be the single type that EC suggested, and every pokemon that's normally single type gets the dual type from that series of videos.

    Venonat and Venomoth losing their Poison type means they're just Nat and Moth now. Fun.

    I think it would have been better to have the different Nido's to be split between Poison and Ground, so that way it isn't just a blue/purple difference for the most part

    I like how Cassette Beasts does it where every monster is only single-type like this but there's a lot more emphasis on moves that change a monster's typing and even a lot of moves that change typing depending on the user. It could be cool to see a Pokémon game or hack that takes this approach.

    I really hope this is the start of a new series
  • @starwolffnyota
    I would love to see the contrary "what if pokémon were all dual types"

    I am all for the idea of Charizard losing the flying type but getting the levitate ability. Fire flying gets crushed by spikes and this would make him more viable supposedly.

    I think the Nido line would be neat if the different genders embodied different elements. Like King could be the ground type with a different ability than poison point and Queen could retain the poison.

    'sea-dwelling Kleavor' bro, you might've just helped with a little lore, mayhaps

  • @XVYQ_EY
    Thank you for finally making this video.

    This is a long time coming and I like it. I do think there are several Pokemon across the franchise that make some more sense as mono-types as well as a few that would make more sense as duel types. I'd love to see your thoughts on Pokemon from the other generations.

    I was wondering about this same thing a couple of days ago. Amazing video.
  • @justinn8541
    Lugia better be a flying type because I see too many people who still keep the psychic type even when there is the possibilities of a type change.
  • @zerokura
    Here i thought it was going be picking different duel type from different reigons than all kanto.

    In an alternate reality: "Man, why is Charizard not a flying type? It has wings and can fly, but pidgey which is clearly just a plain bird, is flying but not normal?"

    I hate to do this, but if I can't unsee it, neither can y'all, the cubone skull channel icon looks like a skeletal mouse (the eye sockets are the ears, the nostrils are the mouse's eyes, the teeth are the paws)
