Each pokemon plays a role. To give any pokemon any move just to make it "better" kind of defeats the purpose of their being separate pokemon. For example, Regigigas has an incredible stat spread, but his ability, Slow Start, heavily cripples him - to the point where many consider him useless. If Gamefreak (the people who actually make the pokemon games) were to remove this ability, then he'd be a fantastic pokemon with great stats. But, he's that way for a reason.

As others have said, Black and White are already out in Japan. If they were to change any pokemon moves or types now, they'd have to re-release the game in Japan, which is NOT going to happen. Sure, they could change it in the next installment, but I doubt they'll do that either. Magnimite and the few other pokemon that received a new typing as a result of the addition of dark and steel were given new types because new types were introduced that better fit their description. Simply changing a pokemon's type to include already existing types isn't something that GameFreak has done, for several reasons, the largest being imbalance. So while it might make sense to add fighting to the water starters typing, it's not something they'll do at this point in time, or in the future. If they add a new type, like say "light" or something, then it's possible.

Also, Bulbasaur has always been a dual type pokemon.

Your third suggestion isn't a bad one, and it's certainly possible in a future title.

Here's a screenshot from Pokemon Red of Bulbasaur's stats screen:



Bulbasaur has always been dual type. With the new typings introduced his weaknesses and resistances were changed, but not his actual typing.

As for the type being light, I don't doubt it. We already have dark and light pokemon cards, and there's even the temporary "Shadow" type from the series. I doubt they'll give it to us as a type, but it's certainly not out of the question. I just don't think that, with this many pokemon, they'll go back and retrofit all of them to accommodate another typing. It was ok with 151, but with more than 500, it'll be mundane.


(One of the best Pokemon Light type Cards)

As for Togekiss's move, it's still possible via special edition pokemon. They do it all of the time with event pokemon (Surfing Pikachu, Flying Pikachu, etc.) Hell, with the next spinoff pokemon game they could include one. It's not impossible. It's just introducing one via the game itself at this point would be unfair because the game is already out in one region.

You realize that these are most definetly are not going to happen. I mean why would Nintendo give 1 Pokemon 5 moves while everyone only gets 4?! Biased in my opinon.

no duude..u misunderstood, what im trying to say is..check..there are a few pokemon with 5 moves whch can be learnt in the 1st level of the pokemon, eg: Shibirudon learns : Crush claw
Headbutt
Acid
Discharge
Crunch
If that is the case, then why cant they do the same for togekiss? : therefore adding an extra move whch it can learn at level 1 too, thus, it being able to learn the move Stormwind along with the moves extreme speed, Airslash, Sky attack, aurasphere...thus, its not biased at all...or they can remove one of the moves, like extreme speed or sky attack for windstorm(because togekiss' attack is very low). And for ur information, i was just trying haha...its kinda impossible for nintendo to even get here, but...who knws...its worth a shot of 1 in 20. still a chance....but anyway..do u guys knw where i can the official Nintendo forum is?
