06.20.19 | fantastic concept and descriptions my dude |
Muppelope
06.20.19 | I enjoyed this list far more than I'm comfortable admitting. |
J() Alexander
06.20.19 | The description for grass is accurate because I always thought Pokemon was a shit game with boring gameplay and I didn't like the "cute" designs (didn't dislike them tho, just not my thing), but I also thought that the mythology and lore was kind of neat; some years ago, at least. |

06.20.19 | Also, Digimon is better. |
Viriathus
06.20.19 | Digimon is better. [2] This all the fuckin way |
Avagantamos
06.20.19 | sweet list, although in my mind electric types would have been represented upbeat chaotic noise rock bands like melt-banana |
Mordecai.
06.20.19 | Greatest list of all time hands down. |

06.20.19 | This is awesome |
Winesburgohio
06.20.19 | yea what about missingno huh: may i suggest, "glitch" |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.20.19 | Glitch would be a Dark/Electric or Dark/Psychic dual-type, and I don't think either exists :[ |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.20.19 | also Melt-Banana would undoubtedly be electric type but not all electric types are Melt-Banana |

06.20.19 | Also, Digimon is better.
Anime: Digimon > Pokemon
Videogames: Pokemon < Digimon, BUT, the game system is more interesting in digimon than in pokemon so that's a tie. |
J() Alexander
06.20.19 | Digimon > Pokemon for anime and Pokemon < Digimon for videogames, agreed. |
J() Alexander
06.20.19 | "the game system is more interesting in digimon than in pokemon so that's a tie."
Which one? Digimon changes the mechanics and general design of its games very often.
Digimon World is one of the best games ever btw. |
Wubs
06.20.19 | Nice but what would Jazz be? |
granitenotebook
06.20.19 | nice. http://i.imgur.com/uxcVTqp.png classic pic with more genres but much iffier choices |
Keyblade
06.20.19 | Digimon doesn't have anything on the level of the main pokemon games but it does have Rumble Arena 2 which is the shit and the first 4 seasons of the anime is goat so Digimon > |

06.20.19 | ice should be black metal

Cygnatti
06.20.19 | Dude poison is like good now.
Like poison has Gengar, Nidoking, Venusaur, Crobat, Scolipede, how can you hate em? (Toxapex kinda gay tho)
Ice should be black metal [2]. |
TheSpaceMan
06.20.19 | Toxapex is stupid good though |
TheSpaceMan
06.20.19 | sickk list too. boutta read these |
Cygnatti
06.20.19 | Toxapex is broken and super unfun to fight against. Literally the 2nd coming of Ferrothorn but even worse. :( |
TheSpaceMan
06.20.19 | yeah true really aggravating, and fuck ferrothorn |
Tyler.
06.20.19 | dragon is not pop. i am so sorry to tell you but this is simply not true. the fact of the matter is that this list is wrong and should be deleted immediately. thank you for reading my comment.

TheSpaceMan
06.20.19 | also as far as broken OU dudes, I hate fighting landorous every game |
Cygnatti
06.20.19 | agreed, fuck landorus. we're speculating that he won't even be available in the new game, which is BIG lit for me. |
TheSpaceMan
06.20.19 | BIG lit if thats true |

06.20.19 | i like this |
Typhoon24
06.20.19 | Fighting is definitely hip hop |
Cygnatti
06.20.19 | Fighting is good for hip hop, but I'd argue Rock. Get rid of some of the niche stuff like groove metal because lol c'mon. |
deathschool
06.20.19 | Holy fuck, I love this list |
Wubs
06.20.19 | What the kids are listening to = latest generation, whatever that is |
dedex
06.20.19 | Fucking awesome list bruh |
Demon of the Fall
06.20.19 | This is amazing, no exaggeration. Your explanation for Bug was nothing short of genius. I chuckled far too much at this (because I'm a massive nerd, clearly).
I don't 100% agree with all the selections, but then it's not a perfect science and you performed more than admirably, the comparisons make more sense than they have any right to.

GhandhiLion
06.20.19 | Dragon is a normie type, just like pop music. |
Kusangii
06.20.19 | "Poison - Metalcore"
holy hell was that funny |
Demon of the Fall
06.20.19 | yes it was, my 2nd fave after Bug. |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.20.19 | Will concede Fighting as hip-hop, although the type effectiveness against Rock doesn't quite translate there. Ice is bm in isolation, but it doesn't work nearly as well in relation to others and Dragon is pop sorry ty no arguments you're gonna have to start a hunger strike or something |
Scheumke
06.20.19 | This list makes so much sense, incredible! |
MrCoffee
06.20.19 | What a fun read |
Prancer
06.20.19 | could also argue for noise rock being electric and black metal being dark, but I get why noise rock is dark when you consider new wave as ghost.
"Will concede Fighting as hip-hop, although the type effectiveness against Rock doesn't quite translate there."
I get rock = stoner rock in this case but you could argue hip hop is effective against rock for its rise to mainstream in the 00s over rock. |
Space Jester
06.20.19 | I love the bit about the best poison types having great synergy with bug, couldn’t be more right about that |
GreyShadow
06.20.19 | this is the best list on the site and probably always will be |
GhandhiLion
06.20.19 | Nice but what would Jazz be?
hey don't ignore this man. |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.20.19 | Oh damn I ignored this! Pretty hard to fit jazz into any single type tbh - it's got the technicality and esotericism for Psychic, but also too much immediate emotional resonance and occasional danceability for that to fit. Maybe Ghost, with a more positive spin and the note that occasionally Pokemon are arbitrarily made as dual-types with Ghost just to seem more edgy? |
GhandhiLion
06.20.19 | Ghost /Fire seems good to me. |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.20.19 | Yeah, Fire would be a good fit too |

Zany, endearing and burns through evolutions in an indecently short span of levels. If compound eyes aren’t nature’s metaphor for a polyrhythm, please tell me what is.'
Best comment ever. |
mindleviticus
06.21.19 | you legit stole my idea from a year ago asshole prepare to be banned
edit: the list is deleted but it was there and I'm still pressing charges |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.21.19 | Damn. Weirdly the chances of there being two independent Pokemon lists, and me having seen yours a year ago, forgotten it and then unconsciously copied it are roughly equal so I guess we can settle outside of court? |
mindleviticus
06.21.19 | okay you got off easy tho |
foxblood
06.21.19 | i would change a few genres but nice idea, the fairy one is spot on
idk why digimon is not really in pop culture anymore, I guess normies don't remember it. the monster designs are always just infinitely better |
J() Alexander
06.21.19 | Digimon World is the God Hand of PS1 videogames. |
dedex
06.21.19 | Ok just re-read everything and it's clearly one of the best lists I've ever seen here |
keza
06.23.19 | This is such a sick crossover. |
keza
06.23.19 | Also fairy being k-pop and dragon being pop? fucking genius. |
Demon of the Fall
06.23.19 | @fox: idk, my bro was into it for a bit, but I saw the cartoons & just thought it was trying to be too ‘cool’ which made it less cool in my eyes. Ha. |
Keyblade
06.23.19 | agreed fox. i rewatch the show like once a year, easily my favorite show from my childhood |
Demon of the Fall
06.23.19 | Pokemon was more universally appealing I guess, then anything that was in competition with it was the ‘enemy’... also it sucked. |
Keyblade
06.23.19 | it holds up surprisingly well today, especially the third season which if it were a standalone anime would have been eaten up by anime fans. can't say the same for pokemon's show tho |
Demon of the Fall
06.23.19 | That’s the funny thing, a lot of the Pokemon’s anime wasn’t that great... all nostalgia and being young I guess. Most of my memories are more based around the cards and/or (early) games. |
beefshoes
06.23.19 | I have always been most fond of ice types. Cloyster never fails to unleash mayhem. |
Keyblade
06.23.19 | yea Demon, same. tho i did love the show as a kid. I would rent a 3 episode tape every weekend. it helped that the show was largely episodic. the entire pokemon craze was a package...u couldn't miss out on any part of it haha |
Tundra
07.01.19 | Cool list, but have a question, where does good ol heavy metal fit in? |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.01.19 | Hmm it'd probably share Rock with stoner rock, for similar reasons |
Tundra
07.01.19 | Also would prog rock be bug since it's kinda similar to math rock? |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.01.19 | Prog doesn't have the short attention span of Bug/math. Ghost would probably have been more accurate, might have missed a trick there (although new wave deserved what it got) |
Egarran
07.01.19 | I enjoyed this list far more than I'm comfortable admitting [2]

TheSpaceMan
06.29.20 | "Sure, its scope is mostly limited and it’s never going to conquer the Pokemon league by itself"
ive done a mono-type run with every type (play thru the game using only one type like a gym leader does) and honestly i fucking SWEPT the hoenn elite 4 with a belly drum + return linoone at like level 50. easiest mono type run of them all |
SteakByrnes
06.29.20 | belly drum linoone is the fucking truth bro |
