XY Possibility for Triple-Types? What existing Pokémon would be changed?

RE: Possibility for Triple-Types? What existing Pokemon would be changed?

I don't see how its more intuitive right now to be honest. Unless you just mean it feels right that way because it always worked like that.
Actually it always felt counter intuitive to me personally, since it made no sense to me that you could be more weak than regular weak to something in the first place. It all depends on how you define the concept of weakness, but even moreso, on how its decided to work in the first place.

Anyway, look at this example

dual weakness: x (1+1+1) / (1+0+0) = x 3
weakness: x (1+1+0) / (1+0+0) = x 2
neutral: x (1+0+0) / (1+0+0) = x 1
resistance: x (1+0+0) / (1+1+0) = / 2
dual resistance: x (1+0+0) / (1+1+1) = / 3

it looks just as natural as having just multiplication in there. Who says weaknesses have to multiply instead of add and why would one be intuitive and not the other one?
The only real difference is that this way its less crippling when you happen to have dual weaknesses *points at charizard and co.*

I don't believe (nor agree) that they'll move the weakness multiplier without adding the triple type. It cripples some Pokemon but it is still good as it is IMO. If they introduce a triple type, they should make it:

Triple weakness: x 5
Double weakness: x 3
Weakness: x 2
Neutral: x 1
Resitance: x 0.5 (/2)
Double Resistance: x 0.33 (/3)
Triple Resistance: x 0.2 (/5)

I stated earlier that if this were implemented, it would make sense to model it after the stat boosts. In that way, a triple weakness would equivocate the current double weakness (which isn't broken) Ihis is what I satated, just rearranged so you can better see it:

Current stat mechanics (not accuracy and evasion):
-6 = 25%
-4 = 33%
-2 = 50%
0 = 100%
+2 = 200%
+4 = 300%
+6 = 400%

I am proposing weaknesses would work the same way:

Triple weakness = 400%
Double weakness = 300%
Weakness = 200%
Neutral = 100%
Resistance = 50%
Double Resistance = 33%
Triple Resistance = 25%

Triple types? It would ruin the games completely.
The formula with a Pokemon having either one, or two types works perfectly and gives a perfect variation with lots of strategy and depth, while at the same time keeps it relative simple, so adding triple types would be way too much, and way too complicated.
The damage calculation would also has to be totally restructured, and in the end, I think it would be totally broken and unbalanced.
So triple types is one of the last things I would ever hope for, and fortunately, it will probably ever happen :)

Now that I think of it....Id rather see single types get some kind of buff to their stab so they are more equal.

Its a big difference if you have one STAB or two.

(3 would be broken so I'm not even considering that)

I like your idea (that you posted like, months ago) that secondary types would receive a lesser STAB than primary ones, that'd be a good balance.

Or single type ones getting a bigger STAB (so Arcanine and Typhlosion have stronger Fire attacks than say Infernape or Heatran). Id like either or any other interesting idea they could come up with.

Groudon: Fire, Ground

Triple Type:
Flygon: Bug, Dragon, Ground
 
RE: Possibility for Triple-Types? What existing Pokemon would be changed?

Nah, they probably won't do that, but if they did....they'd make:
Gyarados (Water/Dragon/Flying)
Charizard (Fire/Flying/Dragon)
Masquerain (Bug/Flying/Water)
Gengar (Ghost/Poison/Dark)
Lapras (Water/Ice/Dragon)
Tyranitar (Rock/Dark/Ground)
Drapion (Posion/Dark/Bug)
 
RE: Possibility for Triple-Types? What existing Pokemon would be changed?

I think the rumor about dual-type moves is more likely than triple-typed Pokémon. People are used to dual-types, so moves wouldn't be too, too hard to get used to. But triple-typed Pokémon would complicate the games too much, even more-so than dual-type moves would. I suppose I would get used to it, though, and would grow to enjoy it.

if they do triple types, it better mean the pokemon still have a max of 2 types and the abilities have their own type system
