At first I was surprised that Golett and Frillish were Part-Ghost.
Until I read the Pokedex. -------------------- |

I used to think Mienshao was Fighting/Psychic because of its appearance. And that Elgyem and Beheeyem were ghost-type since Elgyem was found in that tower with all the Litwicks (forgot the name). And that Dwebble and Crustle were part water-type...

When I was a kid, I could have SWORN that Machop was part ground type. I have no clue why though |D
Also, why isn't Mawile Steel and Dark type? It's the deceiver Pokemon! That just screams "Dark type"! On that note, it being steel type at all doesn't make much sense. This post has been edited by Rika Kitty: Jun 16 2011, 09:24 AM -------------------- |

The fact that Gyarados is part flying instead of part dragon really baffles me. It's based on a Chinese legend about a carp that jumps over a waterfall and gains the ability to fly, or something like that. The fact that it doesn't learn fly contradicts the legend though; that's the part that baffles me more than the cosmetic side of it. It does look remarkably like one of those Chinese Dragons, yes, but I don't recall any of those being able to take to the air -- unless I missed something? *shrugs* I would've added the legend, but I forgot what it was after I first heard of it. He didn't finish the legend. The carp transforms into a flying dragon and goes wreck havoc on a nearby village. As a punishment the gods take away the dragon's ability to fly, hence Gyarados' typing. And Chinese dragons actually fly without wings (at least in everything where one appears). -------------------- |

I always thought Tangela was part water type. I have no clue why. And I never understood why a lot of Flying types are part normal.

For the longest time, I always thought Shellder and Seel were part Ice due to their evolutions.
I think a couple other Pokemon that baffled me at first were:
That's all I got right now. Locations of some confused me though, like Stunfisk (Who's WEAK to water) only being found IN the water. It was like "What are you doing. By the looks of this you can't even swim. Stupid fish." -------------------- |

I would have to say Gyarados being a flying type was surprising.

[*]Drapion as Poison/Dark. Would have thought Bug/Poison like its pre-evo. Completely flipped me for a loop. I like the typing, but I was so confused at the time. I was confused to when I first saw it. Plus Aaron was using it, and I thought that it would be a Bug-Type because he's a Bug-Type Trainer. Sure surprised me. -------------------- |

When Lucario was first revealed I thought he was dark/fighting. Tynamo/Eelektrik/Eelektross surprised me because I presumed they were part water as well.

On another note,HOW IN THE %&^%^$ WORLD CAN GOLETT LEARN FLY?!?!?!?! Well, in-built jet packs immediately comes to mind. "GOLETTE, USE FLY!" Golett: *Takes superman pose and farts fire like there's no tomorrow* But yeah. Emoboar. I love the thing to death, but THREE fire/fighting starters in a row is too much. For the longest time, I could've sworn that Noctowl and Stanler were part psychic types, that Baltoy/Claydol were part rock, and I was pretty peeved that Gyarados didn't know how to use fly. -------------------- |

Lanturn, he's water and electric. Is he like an eel or something O__O He's actually an anglerfish. Lanturn's just a lot prettier. (I've actually eaten an angler. Tasted good.) Anglers have a little "fishing-rod" they have on their forehead, but they don't emit electricity like electric eels do. Instead, they only emit light that draws small fish to them. ...With those teeth, who needs electricity? This post has been edited by Raiden: Aug 16 2013, 07:16 AM -------------------- |

Actually, the fact that the Golett line can learn Fly is a direct shout-out to that movie, The Iron Giant. Scroll down to Shout Out in the New Pokémon Tropes folder on this page and enlighten yourselves.
And I agree with the posters who find Mawile being Steel-typed weird. Even if you look at its inspiration (the Japanese futakuchi-onna), it still doesn't make sense. -------------------- 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.

I would have to say Gyarados being a flying type was surprising. This. I really didn't notice this until now. I really thought it was part dragon? Someone did mention why its part flying on page 1 of the thread, but still since it can't learn fly it kind of defeats the purpose...

And Chinese dragons actually fly without wings (at least in everything where one appears). I heard it was because the programmers were going to make it Dragon, but they decided they just wanted the Dratini family to have that type. The type that surprised me was Litwick's Ghost typing. It doesn't look like a ghost. -------------------- |

1. Gyarados should have dragon. IT IS A DRAGON. Also i thought it could learn fly until a little wwhile ago (2 months?)
2. Arceus's multitype, Like, You'd think the default type would be somethin better, Not normal 3. Giratina. Y U NO DARK? 4. Lucario and the whole metal thing 5. Palkia confuses me, Y U WATER? 6. Chinchou, I thought it was an advantage in battle tower when it was a water only battle, send in chinchou, Thunderbolt, Ďnsert water pokemon here" Fainted. 7. Audino. Would thought to be physic? But only normal. 8 the pan's Y U NORMAL TILL EVOLVE?. Thats about it. :/ -------------------- |

The fact Lugia is NOT a water type baffles me. I mean, it lives underwater!
