Voting Fire because I was all for fire/grass last typing poll and I'm going for it again. A serious, all-out, no questions asked Physical Fire Sweeper would satisfy me too but it'll be difficult to differentiate it from Infernape. It's a shame Stealth Rocks exist, it really hampers on Fire's tanking ability.

Electric, it'd be nice to have finally one that actually has a decent movepool.
I suppose Electric/Dragon might work for my guy...
Request to change to Electric
Request to change to Electric
If we make an Electric Cloud-Pokemon, we could give it an ability that extends the number of turns that Rain Dance goes on for (kind of like an auto Damp Rock). And speaking of Electric/Water Pokes, a Lanturn evo would be fabulous! That thing's got so much potential, the only thing holding it back is its sub-par stats. Seriosuly, give it like 100SDef, and we finally have a viable special wall besides Blissey. The only downside is that we'd pretty much only be raising its base stats, as there's little we can change in the way of typing, ability, and movepool.
Just either edit your last post to be either electric, or edit one of them so only one of the two is bold. Basically make one of them the official vote via bolding (easier if it's the first), and then you'll be fine.
Well, Lanturn does lack a recovery move. So if we were to design it to be celestial (it's a major stretch for electric, but whatever) we could add Wish. I've also always thought it should learn Moonlight because it just made sense to me considering how dark it is where the lantern-type fish live, but the low PP does not help it wall in the slightest.
However, creating a brand new special wall that can actually stand up against Blissey is something that I think we should all at least consider. It'd be a great challenge to actually make one that's not too broken. Specifically with Lanturn who has an automatic 25% healing ability. Do we want the use of Thunder Wave to completely die on anything not named Gallade?
Water pokes get too much love, but they deserve it! Fucking Blastoise, I'll always wuv you.
If you are going to throw out one-sentence trolling posts like this, at least back it up with some information or discussion. If not, then keep it to yourself. Stuff like this is worthless, non-productive, postcount++. I'm not tolerating crap like this in these threads.

Nope, no good Rock types in OU.
FIRE BHLAAAASSSST!
Sure, most fire types are already beast attackers, but they have crap-all type diversity.
Fire/Grass would be cool, but I'd also like to see a Fire/Psychic than can tell Infernape to take a hike, plus be (somewhat) a counter to Revenankh and Syclant.
Fire is beast.
Shit, I was at school all day so I missed the time to argue for my point.
I am going to vote for FIRE now and grass in the next poll. Why??? Think about it, a Fire/Grass type is perfect for a subseeder. Has STAB fire to take down all the Grassers who try to switch in. It also functions as an anti-subseeder in the same way. I think that a Chili Pepper design would actually be quite cool for this.

When I saw Chimchar for the first time, I assumed his final form would be a Fire/Psychic combo. To account for the more mystic style that Sun Wukong could have. All in all though, the most innovative Fire type right now is Heatran, and fire deserves more famed reps than a chimp and a toad.
Fire gets my vote, it could definitely use some help. I'd like to see a dual Fire / Grass type created too.
...Wha? Go-kart? The Chili Pepper part I obviously understand, but a Go-kart?
Vroom vroom?
Ya really, now that I think about it...
Bad Idea
Poison.
Why?
I believe Poison, for once should be the main type of an OU Pokemon. I think that it is usually a useless secondary type, Gengar comes to mind, but I think we should have a Poison type that can make use of type effectively!

Normal, simply because it is the least diverse type out there...
The only types that accompany normal are Water, Flying, and Psychic

Blazing Donkey Kong go kart = Fire/Grass lol
Fire
The only four fire pokemon that are considered playable in OU(Infernape, Heatran, Charizard, and Typhlosion) are getting a little old. This type definitely needs more variety.

I'll be changing my vote to Electric (yes, I know how to do it), because I was thinking about it in school today, and Grass/Electric could be a really nice typing. No significant weaknesses besides Ice and Fire, and Grass does well in removing the major limitations of Electric (Earthquake weakness anyone?). I'll try and do a write-up of it later.
I actually do want a Muk Evo personally. Make is Poison/Dark because come on, we all can see him turning into a freaking tar monster >_>
Cooper, No Ele/Grass. Fire/Grass subseeder with Fire Blast is too good to pass up. Electric should go with something cool like... uh,,,, I can't think of anything good outside of Fight, Ice, and Fire. Maybe Ele/Rock... why are all the cool Ele combos left either 4x to EQ or weak to Stealth Rock (or both).
potentially adding wow to all the standard support moves grass get is also too good to pass up.
