This question continues: “…in combat it would also be equal, if not ABOVE dragon/fire as it hits steel types hard. It fits a physical attacker very well. And c’mon. Fighting/dragon would be eeepppiiiccc. (Also that tacked on truth vs ideas thing, it fits that a bit better, probably)”
Hmm.
You know, when you put it like that, Dragon/Fighting makes a lot more sense than Dragon/Electric. Bear in mind that the whole ‘honour and glory’ thing is as much my interpretation of the Fighting type as anything official, but of course I think it makes sense, and it fits very well with Zekrom’s ‘ideals’ thing. I’ve probably mentioned before that I would have written Black and White very differently, allowing the player to choose between Reshiram and Zekrom, and having the story unfold differently depending on the choice, emphasising the differences between their ‘truth’ and ‘ideals’ instead of whitewashing them, and I think if you were going to go that way, Dragon/Fighting is a combination you could do rather a lot with. Naturally, you’re right that it’s also a very potent combination offensively, and a much nearer match for Dragon/Fire (Zekrom wouldn’t miss Earthquake so much, and wouldn’t have to suffer the gross indignity of being totally walled by Steelix, of all things).
The flip side to that is this quote from Ken Sugimori:
“The tails on both Pokemon are the central points of their respective designs — they’re based off of those electric turbines you see, and they give the impression that they’re these great big generators of fire or electric energy.”
Clearly the designers regarded energy as being a very important part of what they were doing here, and changing Zekrom’s type to Dragon/Fighting would require significantly reworking his art to account for the loss of that particular resonance. Reshiram would need to be changed as well.
In short, I like the idea lot, but I feel I should point out that there’s rather more work in it than you may have realised.
