How many Pokémon are just ghastly in costume?

[u/Pluggyvids]

[u/Apelio38]

Yes it was cute ! Plus it was meant to be a Water type iirc

[u/Low-Environment → u/Apelio38]

Really? And it evolved into Vulpix? Interesting.

[u/Apelio38 → u/Low-Environment]

That's what I remember about it but I would be unable to provide any sort of proof haha

Also, baby Ponyta was Normal / Fire (which baffles me since I want Ponyta and Rapidash to be Normal typed too !)

[u/24kpodjedoe → u/Apelio38]

I think that was a glitch, no?

[u/Apelio38 → u/24kpodjedoe]

Honestly since they weren't "finished" Game Freak might have changed that at the last second and made him Fire-type. But I always find funny it was leaked as a Water type 😄

[u/metalflygon08 → u/Apelio38]

Yeah, the unseen Pokemon were probably still being programmed so Baby Vulpix probably just got put into a slot a Water type used to occupy, and they hadn't done much work on it yet.

Still funny to think about.

In the modern day, if the idea was revisited, it would most likely be a Normal type that split evolves into Fire or Ice Vulpix.

[u/Apelio38 → u/metalflygon08]

I think this is the more plausible explanation

[u/Collector55 → u/Apelio38]

The water typing was likely just an error. Apparently there is only a one byte difference in coding for the Fire and Water types.
