Thank you!

To me it fits fine. It could work both ways as a bug/dragon or ground/dragon. As it stands it is still on my top five favorite pokemon.

Nop.Maybe Magenta or orange throught.
It is one of my favourites too xD (ironicly,it is my favourite ground type)
Its just that to mewhen I look at it,the bug atributes are more outstanding.

I think in the end it comes down to traits associated with it. Spirit of the desert, hides in sandstorms. You get the drill.

Doing it Wrong

Surskit -> Masquerain
I was very dissapointed about this one but fortunatelly it can evolve again(maybe using water stone)and become a bug/water again.
This is how i see it:the baby pokemon(surskit) stay in the pond they were born in until they evolve then they fly to another body of water where they become adults(to prevent inbreading or something).
They could look something like this:http://www.naturfoto-cz.de/tiger-water-beetle:dytiscus-marginalis-photo-2883.html

Wurmple -> Cascoon/Silcoon -> Duxtox/Beautifly
Not much can be done here other than perhaps giving them some cool abilities to compensate for their type disadvantages.

Volbeat
I see this one evolving into a bug/electric

Illumise
I see this evolving into either a bug/psychic or bug/dark

Combee -> Vespiquen
when i first saw it i thought that for sure it was a bug/psychic needles to say i was disappointed.Perhaps after another two generations it can evolve again with ancient power or something

Doing it Right
Heracross
Scyther -> Scizor
Pineco -> Forretress
Yanma -> Yanmega
Nincada -> Ninjask + Shedinja

I completelly agree with you

The main reason why many think that bug pokemon are generally weak is because the way the championships are held(just battles with fully evolved pokemon and specifically bred as opposed to everybody starting from scratch with only the starter pokemon and catching pokemon and battleing each other as they go to victory road for the actual championship).

Think about it.What's the bug types main advantage over the other types?You can have a fully evolved dustox for example at level 10(with confusion and a stat total of 385) as opposed to a torchic at level 10(knows ember and has a stat total of 310).I don't know if dustox will win for sure as i have never tried it myself but i know that it will be bloody hard to bring down by the previouselly mentioned torchic or other early obtainable level 10 pokemon for that matter.That's my opinion at least.Feel free to contradict me if you think otherwise.

P.S. I wish they would evolve parasect and pinsir this generation.Parasect needs a stat bust to function better and pinsir needs at least a secondary typing(preferably steel,dark,ground or even normal),like its cousin heracross

Bug/Ground legendary FTW.

I prefer them keeping the generic starter-area bug flying/poison duo over focusing on perfect typing, perfect stats and perfect movepools. There will always be "useful" bugs later on in every game.

Didn't realize rodents were capable of emitting/storing electric power. Mind sharing with me with real life electrical rodents. Since it seems I've been living under a rock for too long.

Well eventually all bugs will have been used.

Do you know how many types of bugs there are on the planet?

I like the bugs with the big black eyes like ledian!!!

There are so many, and there are many still that have not been discovered, I presume.

Very correct.

I'm always up for more bugs, though I'd love to see them fix the fundamental problems that existing Bug-types already have first (like the fact that even the ginormous Bug/Flying dual-type ones like Yanmega, Vespiquen, and Scyther can't learn Fly).

I can deal with not learning Fly.

My priority goes towards having more elemental-based Bug types. Bug/Fire, Bug/Water, Bug/Electric, Bug/Dragon, Bug/Ice, that sort of stuff. They've got physical Bugs taken care of no problem. I'm a sucker for variety.

It really bugs me, though, when I have to have two Flying-types on a team because a Bug I want to use can't learn the move. It's gonna happen with HG, because I love Yanmega to death. Considering it's visually based on a friggin' airplane, there's no reason it shouldn't be able to learn it.
