Type Defenses

[Tackle]

pls add this one in our pokedex....

it helps us to know the weakness of pokemons easily..

im not that smart to fully memorize the type weaknesses of all 367 pokemons... XD

The only way I would be okay with this is to have some pop-up you can click on Pokedex window to see the type-advantages but having too much stuff on the Pokedex window just looks bad imo. It isn't that hard to memorize 17 types' weaknesses/resistances/immunities anyways.

It would be cluttered and unnecessary to add this to every individual species' page.

 

I think a type chart within the 'dex would be a better substitute. Then ideally users could access the chart directly or by clicking the typing of in the species page they're currently looking at.

Just adding the type of the pokemons is a must (unless i'm blind)

That's 294 combinations to remember even with Pokemon with just a single type. Dual typing adds a whole new level of complexity. Memorizing it isn't hard if you've been playing your whole life like many of us, but not everyone has.

What complexity? And why would you need to know every combination?

 

Weakness + weakness = 4x weakness

Weakness + neutral = weakness

Weakness + resistance = neutral

Neutral + resistance = resistance

Resistance + resistance = 1/4 resistance

Immunity + any = Immunity

 

What comes to dual-typing this is all the extra information one needs to know, these 6 combinations. If 8 year olds figure this out I wouldn't talk about complexity. We have actual mechanics that really are complex and then we would include in game the most basic information it would make the game look really 'basic' in front of the eyes of most people, at least as I would imagine it to be. In addition like DS said it would be cluttered as heck.

It takes a lot of fire to melt a rock.

Fire just adds to fire (ignore fighting fire with fire).

Dragons live in volcanoes and stuff so they are used to fire.

Generally throwing plants on poison doesn't turn out well.

Grass only adds fuel to the fire

Grass doesn't affect dragons very much cause they are already high as fuck.

Ever try to break steel with grass?

 

Electric spreads through water.
