They should have been Psychic/Poison.
Explain
>>58831655>>58831701No need to explain, only galarian slowpoke/slowbro and Munkidori deserves it.
>>58831701The motherfucker thinks children are parasites before they are born. He will never be a woman and will never experience the joy of concieving a child from his own uterus.
>>58831701>It's said that drinking the liquid surrounding Reuniclus grants wisdom. Problem is, the liquid is highly toxic to anything besides Reuniclus itself.
>>58831746Fact that was only mentioned nearly 1 decade after the Pokémon had being introduced.
>>58831761*been
>>58831761they have lore prepared for every pokemon and only reveal parts of it in the pokedex or on the site
>>58831766>lore More like random bullshit. They have to have dozens of possibly conflicting tidbits to potentially use for any given mon. They just as easily could have said the liquid is sweet to allude to a fairy type, or spicy to make you think it could be fire type too.
>>58831701I just think it would be cool and it's a cellular organism which makes me think of diseases. Not any of the schizo nonsense >>58831737 said. Also, psychic/poison is my favorite type combination.
>>58831882oh and bonus, I just think it would make it more interesting. A lot of people complained about unova mons being somewhat derivative and I think it would have been cool if this guy was a bit more unique that way. Plus it's a good type combo defensively and post-fairies poison is good offensively.
>>58831885>good type combo defensivelyI would not consider adding a weakness to fucking earthquake good defensively but whatever man>good offensivelyfucking lmao, a stab move and focus blast already let reuniclus hit most pokemon at least neutrally and it's not giving up either calm mind or recover
>>58832024these are the opinions of someone who's only ever heard about competitive pokemon. Come on man...
>>58831737based chad>>58831882cringe psycho
>>58831885Unova had a lot of baffling decisions for typing. Zoroark should've been dark/ghost, Gigalith should've been rock/psychic, Haxorus should've been dragon/steel. Braviary should've been flying/fighting, Cofagrigus shouldve been ghost/rock etc.
>>58831882>see fetus>think of diseaseIf you like that typing so much then go play with that faggy monkey, leave the children alone.
>>58832137We gotnormal/ghost zoroarkanother gigalithsteel white barneymega staraptorrunerigus (which is nor rock desu)
>>58831655Should've been Psychic / Slime
>>58832090Poison is still useless defensively since Magic Guard already provides immunity to Poison status
>>58832397wtf fairy, poison, fighting(doubled), grass resists and being neutral to bug are absolutely great boons. Only downside is the weakness to ground, but that's very evitable. And I guess the neutrality to psychic? that's not a big deal.Magic Guard was not primarily used to be immune to poison. That was a situational upside at best. Sand immunity, hail immunity, life orb immunity, avoiding stealth rock chip, and being able to switch into burns were the main reasons you'd use magic guard. Regenerator is probably better on reuniclus anyway.
>>58831737>bringing up sex out of nowhere, claiming op will never get any pussyProjection?
>>58832807You are the op thobeit
>>58831655It really depends on what the Pokémon company wants the Poison type to represent.Some people see this line and thinks "muh cancer, viruses and diseases!!" but this line looks like healthy cells/organisms, so there isn't a direct link with disease.Cells under stress/toxicity can produce more hydrogen peroxide which is toxic to DNA and cells. But H2O2 is itself is important in homeostasis so is it "poison"?If they want to make a Psychic/Poison version of the line, just make a regional form. The easiest way would be to make it infected by a virus (or any other kind of parasite), or make it more like a shapeless blob to represent cancer.>>58831746That's not enough. Umbreon oozes poison. Turtonator gushes poisonous gases from its nostrils. Seadra has poison on its fins. Gligar/Gliscor can inject poison. Butterfree has poisonous powder on its wings. Wooper oozes poison too (way before Paldean Wooper was a thing).
>>58832884>If they want to make a Psychic/Poison version of the line, just make a regional form.I'm saying it should have been psychic/poison in the first place, they could have altered the design slightly to better illustrate it without it losing any of its earned charm imo>>58832884>Umbreon oozes poison.that guy wasn't me but this is a bad example because umbreon was originally going to be a poison type.
>>58833151>I'm saying it should have been psychic/poison in the first placeAnd why should it be?
>>58833151You’re fucking retardedThe line represents cellular growth, which has nothing to do with being hazardous
>>58833376Because a pokemon designed to look like a single-celled organism could have been designed with pathogens in mind and it would have been cool?>>58833411You call me retarded when you can't comprehend the simple idea of "maybe they should have designed it slightly differently! it would have been interesting!"
all the people in this thread mindlessly saying "NO NO NO IT COULD NEVER HAVE BEEN MADE THAT WAY CUS OF THE WAY IT IS NOW" have got to be kidding, right?
>>58831797but they didnt
>>58833719>Because a pokemon designed to look like a single-celled organism could have been designed with pathogens in mind and it would have been cool?Reuniclus is not a bacteria, nor a fungi nor a protozoa. It's not a pathogen.As I said earlier, if they want to do something related to cancer or pathogens, a regional form is better.>>58833725So what? You want to argue about something that doesn't exist then? If they added references to cancer, pathogens or even immune cells using perforins to kill contaminated cells (as an example), then YES it could have been Poison type. But that's not what happened. Instead, we got a fusion of a cell and a homunculus, who loves to use its arms to punch things before using its psychic powers.Now that I think of it, Fighting could have beeen another decent secondary type for Reuniclus.
>>58833955I'm just gonna link back to what I said already because you're asking me why I'd like it if it had been designed slightly differently while being unable to understand that that means it would have been different than it is now>>58831882>I just think it would be cool and it's a cellular organism which makes me think of diseases.>>58831885>oh and bonus, I just think it would make it more interesting.

>>58831655>EVERYTHING MUST BE LE DUAL TYPE
>two reniclus threads up>both filled with autists and meltdownsReally makes ya think
>>58834207>wojakposting in current yearalso>EVERYTHING MUST BE LE MONO TYPE
