Electric types.

Unfortunately, it's safe to say electric types are a huge no-no. This is set way before the discovery of electricity and as such I think it would be inappropriate for there to be electric pokemon, would you all agree?

Nah, they were still aware of phenomena such as thunder, magnetism, etc. You can call them Thunder types instead of electric, but if modern day Electric Pokemon exist, we can assume they existed in the past as well.

I'm trying my best to think of something that could have eventually transpired to become electricity.

Perhaps Lightening types?

Yeah, that's actually what I meant by thunder. I always get them mixed up.

It's Pokemon. It doesn't have to make 100% sense. Just because the people hadn't discovered how to use electricity yet doesn't mean we can't have a badass Zapdos soaring through the thunder.

but electric types that look like man made things might not fit well. (Magneton, Voltorb, etc)

well back in the Egyptian era scientist now believe that they used pots and assorted copper wire to generate an electrical current. idk exactly when this game is suppose to b but you could use something along those lines with electrical types

Only man-made Electric types would be off-limits. That covers the magnemite line, voltorb and electrode... Actually that's it.

Just a ball of electricity with eyes for origin of voltorb? Implies that when Humans started to harness the power, they captured them in cases?

Or Apricorb! (Apricorn Voltorb)

Magic lightning strikes or something if you really need those two.

or watabout a electric golem builds electricity as it roles. like a static charge attack as he rolls. or static charge move + rollout for bonus damage idk jst another idea being thrown out there

aside from the previously mentioned use of electricity by ancients, there are animals who make use of electricity, such as electric eels and some species of cephalopods.
not to mention, pokemon makes electric types out of animals who in real life are just bioluminescent, like lanturn

Well seeing as there is electricity or should i say lightning could that be a like pokemon thats being studied by scientists or philosophers and they try to harness it in a very primitive way like making fire..... although fire pokemon could do that ........

wat if there was a tribe scenario as in "the tribe to the east worships the thunder" "the tribe farther then that worships the flame" and so on. so the "gym" leader of that type would reflect wat the tribe worships.

A lightning cloud for a pokemon?If so I'd be willing to sprite it, scratch or edit.

A Flying/Electric type? That sounds pretty damn cool.

wat about the old aztec stone plane thing thats made from gold. could be made into a electric type

heres a link to wat it looks like
http://www.circlinghawk.com/ancientPlane.jpg

the gold airplane might make an interesting pokemon...ill get on designing something like it

The sad part is, nobody will get the reference, so we'll probably have a bunch of people wondering why there's an airplane 1500+ years ago...

lol yea but we do need some new (or old in this case i guess) electrics or thunder i guess is wat we r calling em, and idk i mean magnemite's r pretty much machines why not have these could be another electric/steel but have em more badass. maybe have a crazy evo/pre-evo

Voltorb ancestor?
Give crit or improvements and I'll add em in.
EDIT:Damn forumotion.The pic

If you want to put a pic you put the img one

Round it out a bit more so that it resembles a sphere, and maybe add some sparks to show that it's electric.
