Huh, I just saw this post by someone on Pokebeach:
I've kinda had the same idea before (but not as fleshed out obviously) because it really doesn't make sense that some floating pokemon can't avoid ground moves and such.
I'd be really happy if something like that was added to the game.
Quote:What bugs me is that Mega Altaria out of all things can be hit by Earthquake.What do you guys think about an idea like that?
go home gamefreak, you're drunk.
I was okay with Charizard X, but if they do stuff like this, introducing an "airborne" mechanic is waaaaay overdue.
>Make Flying resist Ground
>make moves "ground-targeted" (which should include most Ground moves obviously, but not all either)
>have each pokemon be considered either airborne or not (a wing icon somewhere in the stat-window or similar)
And tada, suddenly all the dual type bugs are fixed (ie Dustox getting hit by Ground moves), Flygon can get Sandstream instead of a Levitate-excuse-of-ability (and maybe even Weezing getting a new toy?), and perhaps a Vanilluxe is then immune to Surf or some other non-Ground moves that fit the ground-targeted category etc etc...
only problem with this suggestion is that Levitate becomes useless. But it's not like they couldn't just change it's effect to something else, like keeping it airborne even in Gravity.
