Geo should be Terra.
Ghost- Phantom? Spirit?
Poison- Toxic?
Steel- Metal, since Titanium is very specific. Or reflective. Sounds baws.
Never thought of Grass as herbal tho.

Edited,do i have your support?^^

TheArtOfRuin · 2012-09-11, 04:40 AM

You're forgetting ghost in the list, and if anything ghost should be phantom. Maybe dark could stay the same. Otherwise, I support this. I think it'd be a good idea to distance ourselves from Pokemon a little more.

Ice = Frozen
Ice monsters can't get frozen status problem from the start. :/

Ice = Glacial instead?

honchkrow14 · 2012-09-11, 09:59 AM

I support and maybe fire can be Pyras rather then Pyro

fjkulit · 2012-09-11, 10:29 AM

Grass= herbal seriously ??maybe nature will do .-.

Eh...nature could apply to a broader range of types than just grass. Maybe "flora" or "gaia" for grass?

fjkulit · 2012-09-11, 10:34 AM

Blegh I was thinking of flora a whole ago.. .-.

TheArtOfRuin · 2012-09-11, 10:39 AM

Great minds think alike haha. Makes sense though - "flora and fauna". Flora meaning plant life.

Just noticed that the list is also missing normal. and all I can think of are things that sound ridiculous. "Plain", "regular", "vanilla" haha! Normal might be the only one that wouldn't hurt to leave as is =/

fjkulit · 2012-09-11, 11:02 AM

Flora=grass

Fighting needs tweaking

**zacherymatthews** · 2012-09-11, 11:08 AM

Updated :p

fjkulit · 2012-09-11, 11:27 AM

Blegh. I have made up my choice:
We dont need renames

**zacherymatthews** · 2012-09-11, 11:30 AM

why is that? *and get online >_>*

fjkulit · 2012-09-11, 11:46 AM

Why? I am online...

And bcuz, it will look bad to change the meta, people will be confused, etc

the point is to keep this game further alike from pokemon

fjkulit · 2012-09-11, 12:07 PM

Just dont change the beautiful types

**Snes** · 2012-09-11, 02:34 PM

i am okay with this idea, but some of the names need to be refined. like the ice - frozen, and the grass - flora.

Hmm.. but it takes the originality Sad

Whatever is in red, I agree with.

Steel.. Meh, imo no change :/

**zacherymatthews** · 2012-09-11, 09:49 PM

im not sure if thats a support or what .-.

night phoenix · 2012-09-11, 10:02 PM

I like, but
light-stay
Ghost-phantom
dark-void

ShockZekrom · 2012-09-11, 10:53 PM

not void. It's too hard to understand what it is. But yeah zach I have your support.
Or you could do Terra as Gaia. But whatevz.

fjkulit · 2012-09-12, 09:45 AM

Since many are supporting.. Ill help

Steel= pewter?

Meh just dont change.

SkyRock · 2012-09-12, 10:12 AM

Sky doesn't support... renaming them will just keep newbs more confused than they already are now.

well they are already going to be confused. changing types is not going to confuse them lol,changing stuff like this will keep them from asking is this pokemon and pokemon related questions

Ghost · 2012-09-13, 12:09 AM

It sounds so fake. No-support.
