Electric/Psychic is still at the top of my list, because Electric is a great type with not-so-great Pokemon lately.

1. Ghost/Psychic - The weaknesses are horrid but the design would be hard presses to disappoint
2. Ghost/Grass - HOW HAS THIS NOT HAPPENED YET? 3. Fighting/Ghost - The coverage... the delicious coverage. 4. Ghost/Steel - I'm sure if they made this work it would be awesome. 5. Electric/Fighting - This Gen's Pikachu is a Kangaroo? 6. Fire/Water - THIS HAS NEEDED TO HAPPEN SINCE GEN II. 7. Ghost/Rock - Why was Spiritomb not this? 8. Poison/Steel - Garbodor evo? 9. Fire/Ice - Just. Cool. 10. Ice/Rock - Yes please. |

>Poison/Steel
I always imagined it as a Weezing evo to further emphasize the line's mine-like appearance. Also it should be named Choaking. |

No idea why you force the A in there (just to fit with the misspelling theme?) but yeah, I've been calling for Poison/Steel Choking since 2000 and regular Choking since 1999. So obvious. Bud off the baby head to make a Koffing, what remains is an enormous head that is Choking.

So does Choking wear a crown or is that just a coincidence?

I didn't picture him with a crown. Also, Nidoking, Seaking, Kingdra, Slaking ...

Hahaha, point taken.
But mostly asking if you were just using -ING because of the name mechanic of it's previous evolutions and it was just a coincidence it had KING in it's name or if you guys actually thought about the KING part. |

The name pattern has to do with symptoms of breathing disorders. You cough (Koffing), you wheeze (Weezing), ... what's worst of all but to choke (Choking) and die?
But yes, even as an 8th grader, I realized the obvious "king" / "supreme form" significance in the name. He's the final form, the "king" form as it were, so it fits. Better of course than if we had gone (say) from Koffing to Choking and then to Weezing. That would've just been dumb. Not only do you step down from a king to a non-king, but how is weezing (where you're still getting some air in) worse than choking (where you're getting none)? Anyway, tallied results. About to sum them up and find out who the top five are. Will make Phase 2 thread here in a bit.

Wow kusari I actually really like that fakemon. That's surprising considering my general disdain for them.

Was just thinking that Rock/Fighting would be a really cool type. Then wondered how the hell I didn't rank it higher (as I didn't remember ranking it at all). Then came here and saw it wasn't on the list. Before finally remembering fucking Terrakion. -.-; Stupid
*still waiting on non-Rotom Electric/Fire too* *pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease make that either a bitchin' Gen 6 capture or else the super-bitchin' Gen 6 Fire starter*
