Body, Mind and Soul's the best idea on this forums I've seen apart from the decision to ban AnimeFreak.

So, Galar, is Flying type "elemental" or "enigmatic"? Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos and Ho-oh are elemental, but Lugia and Rayquaza are enigmatic. There goes your theory.

Actually, I pretty much agree with what Galar said, except that what he said about the two different types of legendaries only applies to primary types. Flying is seen as a second type on 6 legendaries (7 if you count Skymin), there's no reason why Fighting, Bug and Poison can't be second types as well. For example, Regigigas fits the bill for being a fighting type. Its very physically strong, both offensively and defensively, and it looks like it could crush anything. Heatran was just as likely to be Fire/Bug as Fire/Steel, although it probably won't be #1 in OU coz it doesn't have as many resistances. So yeah, I agree with Galar, but it doesn't mean there won't be Fightings, Bugs and Poisons.

Yes, i think that the combination of Body, Mind, and Soul is a very good idea. Hope the Nintendo will make one in the future generations. And also, the decision to ban AnimeFreak was heck, made me LOL once. I knew that he will get that soon, but i think that he is a spoiled child.

I've never really thought of the Bug type as a natural element, but more like a ramifictation of the Grass type that exists for no real reason aside from "japanese children like to collect bugs, so let's create a Bug type!". To me, the category "Bug" is more suitable as a breeding group than an actual type, because it always seemed to me like an animal classification other than a pokemon/attack type category. Same goes for Dragon types, but they're in a different level.

And Poison... I don't really have a solid opinion on this type. It's like Dark and Grass put together and gone wrong. It's more like an area distribution, but also not exactly... I'm not quite sure where to put it.



That's actually a pretty good idea! Still, it's just that Figthing doesn't sound legendary-ish at all to me, heh. The Fighting type in this case would only be made "Legendary" to accompany the other two and balance/close the trio, to go with the whole "body, mind and soul" idea. The type itself has pretty much no "legendary" aspects to be of use: it has little (or nothing) to offer in its concept to be able to generate "legendary" material/base for ideas. That means no close/obvious relation to what I consider to be "legendary".



I've always seen the Flying type as the "Air" element of the Pokemon world. So it's elemental to me.


In my point of view, it doesn't really matter if it's a secondary or primary type, as long as it falls under one of the two categories. That means if a Legendary Pokemon is a dual-type at least one of its types needs to be either "elemental" or "enigmatic", there's no need for both of its types to be.

It's just that Fighting, Bug, Poison and Normal don't really have any kind of "legendary-ish" characteristic. Bugs are bugs, Normal is... well, normal, as the name implies, and Fighting... there isn't anything really special about it that's, like, "stuff of legend", or whatever. And my opinion on Poison is, unfortunately, basically "i dunno lol", because I truly don't.

Even if you can come up with a great idea for a Fighting legendary, it will only be a Figthing type because of its design and visual appearance, or another secondary reason. The Type itself has no association with ancient myths, nature, or anything you can use for a "legend". Like, there's no reason why a Fighting type should be a legendary (unlike the other types I mentioned before), besides "oh, it looks strong and it's a warrior thing, so let's make it part Fighting". If anything it will be the Legendary's second type, and it would still be for the sole reason of in-game balance, general design or something like that.

Of course, there's Arceus, which is a Normal type and a Legendary. They'll have to come up with a very good reason/brilliant idea to make a pure Fighting legendary. But it still won't change my opinion on why the Fighting type can't produce legendaries on its own. At least, I don't think so, haha.

Uh... I guess the more I try to explain the more confusing it gets. Sorry!

FALCON PAWNCH!!!!!
ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!!!!

maybe its just those two, but fighting type feels VERY legendary to me

A fighting legendary sounds very interesting. The back story for this legendary, however would be difficult to make, I would think. We already have a pokemon that pulled the contenents. Maybe the pokemon of war? Then it would be Fighting dark? Of course there would have to be a pokemon of peace. maybe a psychic? (Just joking) A flying type for the pokemon of peace sounds good. Id still like to see at least one legendary for each type.

Well wouldn't we all.

I thought the Fighting-type legendary has already been discussed in this thread. But yes, if you think about the back story, it would be hard.
