Is there a Pokemon out there that you love to death, or just some random one, and you realized it was a /completely/ different type/another type?
I just now discovered that Jirachi was Psychic AND Steel! He was in my first Pokemon movie when it came out, my friend let me borrow his Jirachi on Diamond, and that thing was is one of my favorite Legendaries! When the /hell/ did he gain a Steel type? .__o' Don't get me started on the Creation Trio... '>.> (Yeah, Giratina, I'm lookin' at you...) -------------------- Pictures and links!

Oh, yeah. Gen III 'mons had some deceptive typings. I also thought Azurill was a Water type. So I was quite surprised to find out it was Normal type. And (even though I personally never suscribed to the idea) I remember reading a preview of some of the R/S 'mons, and one of the 'mons in the preview was Kecleon, which was theorized to be a Grass type, most likely due to its green coloration and the fact that it was an arboreal lizard. Nope. And same thing with Volbeat. I thought it'd be Bug/Electric too, what with being a firefly and all. Nope.
On Ho-Oh's predicament (x4 Rock weakness): Fire/Flying was an already established typing at the time, with Charizard and Moltres. So, having one Legendary with a x4 weakness, they didn't want the other version exclusive following suit. And the basis for Lugia's design, the ocean kami Ryūjin, has aquatic, avian, and psychic characteristics. (And if you look at the name, draconic characteristics.) The physical design of Lugia wasn't taken from Ryūjin's physical design (who is more like Gyarados or Rayquaza, appearance-wise), but its personality/mythos were. Ryūjin-focused stories tend to be violent or dark in nature. Fortunately, that particular characteristic wasn't carried over to Lugia. TL;DR: Lugia is based off of an aquatic-dwelling dragon god in Shintoism, which also has some psychic characteristics. (Information on Lugia obtained from Beckett Pokémon Unofficial Collector issue #125) This post has been edited by Mars Adept Enten: Jul 7 2012, 12:02 PM -------------------- I'm also known as Queen_Lugia on SPPf, and Queen-Articuno on dA, as well as a former aspiring trinketer on GPX+, a proud TheRunawayGuys fangirl, a proud participant of Extra Life, and proud supporter of TwitchPlaysPokemon.
