Pokemon Legends: Z-A's starter trio proves it's time for a new type, and I know what it should be

The player character in Pokemon Legends: Z-A looks at the three starter Pokemon, Totodile, Tepig, and Chikorita.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A revealed its starting trio during the Pokemon Day Pokemon Presents, and it reignited a dream I had since I was a wee boy playing Pokemon Gold for the first time: an all-new Dinosaur-type that finally puts all the ancient and huge beasties into the typing they deserve. And they can knock Dragon down a peg or two.

Please put your pitchforks and torches down and just hear me out, okay? It's been almost 12 years since X and Y introduced the Fairy-type, and it was 14 years before that when Gold and Silver brought the Steel and Dark-types into our lives. So, the timing lines up quite nicely. That doesn't mean Game Freak is going to add a Dinosaur-type, but I'd be very happy if it did.
