I have devised a simple way to make delta species.

 

Yes, the delta species from the trading card game.

 

It's simple, using proximity to the RGB code, we could determine what type the pokemon would be.

 

For pokemon who have a single typing, we would find the most common color in the pokemon and determine (by code) what type coloring it is closest to.

 

The type coloring would be an RGB value assigned to each type.

 

As for pokemon with dual types, we would then assign the second type based on the second most common type coloring on the pokemon.

 

On a case by case basis, we could make certain pokemon have typing based on shape (like psychic or dragon typings, or dual typing pokemon who have only one color typing).

 

Of course, delta species shinies would have a different typing than the regular delta species.

 

The biggest issue pops up elsewhere: assigning a moveset, which I assume would best be handled with the help of the community.

 

So @mods @devs

think this would be worth doing? Would you be willing to implement it?

I guess one of the biggest problems with this would be balancing the delta species for PVP, but that could also perhaps be one of the upsides. Pokemon that otherwise don't see use might show up due to the all new typing!

Well.. this is something we can analyze in future for sure. Not saying will be implemented, but i still consider this interesting (personal opinion).

In any case, if this could be accepted as request in future, im quite sure Delta Pokemon will be banned from battles in order to deny possible advantages gained from said “type buff”.

That would be nice,although ban them for PvP.
