[–] e0qdk@reddthat.com 8 points 5 days ago (2 children) Presumably Moo Deng would be the water type... would Punch be the fire type and Jimothy the grass type? Or, is it the other way around? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] snooggums@piefed.world 8 points 5 days ago* Jimothy is Trash type. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Apeman42@lemmy.world [S] 4 points 5 days ago (1 child) That works, though they did have a fire monkey before. I think there are some alternate triangles they could do, like I've heard people mention Fighting/Dark/Psychic, but I still don't know who's who in that one except Moo Deng again, who's probably dark because of her ferocious chomping. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago Moo Deng is fighting, because the chomp. Jimothy is dark, it fits the nocturnal, crafty bandit, and cryptid like posture. Punch is a snow monkey so he starts as ice. As a flip, they could then take the water, fire, grass, as the evolve. Moo gets water because hippos are aquatic, we base the final evo off the Columbian cocaine hippos maybe give him a luchadore outfit or style him after a drug enforcer. Jimothy gets fire because of the feral/dumbster fire/arson memes that frequently have raccoons and opossums. The final evolution he's more upright with abody shape like these guys but he's got a zippo and Molotov. Punch gets grass because orangutan means something like "man of the forest" in it's original language. He now wears the worn out orangutan plush as a coat/pelt with moss and frost like a boreal ghilie suit. We only have 4 water/fighting, two are modal one is mythic, and the last is gen 1. There are only two dark/fire and one is legendary. Finally there is only 1 grass/ice. So all 3 have open niches. permalink fedilink source parent
