Yes, that's a good example. Imagine if Charizard could fuse with Dragonite (if you wanted to go classic), or Haxorus (if you wanted to just be straight-up badass). He would finally be Fire/Dragon -- just give him Levitate if you want him to have the Ground-type immunity of his former Flying-type.

What if Pokemon introduced FUSION?

Sorry!
Oh my god, that is incredible.

I'm always in favor of this. I really hope whatever evolution pokemon games eventually make they just include the original 151 at first so they can focus more time on actual gameplay mechanics and forming the world. Then introduce more established pokemon each new update/iteration. I feel Game Freak has it all wrong, we don't want more pokemon, but a new way to explore the pokemon world and interact with existing pokemon.
Speak for yourself! I love all 649 Pokemon and can't wait to see what new ones they invent. I'm still waiting for a moose, alpaca, goat, possum, platypus, mosquito, barreleye, vampire squid, narwhal, dolphin (seriously, there hasn't been a dolphin yet??). Not to mention new type combos: Dark/Electric, Dark/Psychic, Fire/Water, Steel/Ghost, etc.
And it's not like they don't continue to expand the potential of the old Pokemon. Gen 4 added loads of evolutions for old Pokemon (I.E. Tangela -> Tangrowth, Magenton -> Magnezone, Electabuzz -> Electivire, etc), and each sequel adds new abilities/moves to spice them up.
If they introduced that for every Pokemon available to fuse, then I'll fuse a Zubat and Tentacool to make the ultimate annoyance.
Why would you create such a thing, man!??
Actually, thinking about its evolution (Crobat/Tentacruel), it's pretty badass. Picture a great purple bat with Cthulhu-esque mouth-feelers. :X

Since we're still posting those sad recolored sprites with badly zoomed faces, I feel obliged to toss Juggernatu into the ring and straighten you guys out.
Maybe the first official Pokémon fighter besides Brawl could be a gang of fused Pokéthugs?

My apologies, you're right. I really just want to see a a more fully realized pokemon world, and I don't really like the new evolutions for old pokemon (in terms of design).
Juggernatu is UNSPEAKABLY badass!Since we're still posting those sad recolored sprites with badly zoomed faces, I feel obliged to toss Juggernatu into the ring and straighten you guys out.

(Fun fact: My username is the Japanese name of Xatu, Natu's evolution!)
I like the idea but I hate the example. IMO they ruined my favorite legendary pair and made them ugly as hell.
Maybe I shall steal the idea for my Pokemon clone.
Now which Pokemon to fuse with Jigglypuff to make it cuter?

Who are the Starlies fused with? And great job btw.What an unfortunate site. Years ago we put actual effort in our splices. There's no algorithm for a great mix.
I had tons of fun doing it too!
I don't care about stats, but you want badass? Aggron/Luxray. MECHA. LION.

No, it would be a stupid game mechanic.
This website is wonderful though.

Innovation? In a Pokemon game? That's asking a lot.
I think longer and more branching evolutions would be better than fusion. At its heart, Pokemon is meant to be a fun representation of the natural world, so whilst you occasionally get zany and silly designs a lot of them are grounded in reality. I don't think fusion makes sense if you take the naturalistic view of things.

Pokemon has introduced new things which have really added to the experience (like double battles which changed everything). This however is an idea that doesn't belong anywhere near pokemon.

Here's how I picture them handling fusions:
First, there would be the addition of 100-150 NON-fused new Pokemon. So people would still get their "standalone" Pokemon fix.
Separate from them, Nintendo would design 50 fused forms, each made by combining two specific old Pokemon. In the pokedex, these would be treated as forms -- sharing the name of one of the component Pokemon, with something in parentheses to distinguish the form, I.E. "Charizard (Spliced)." Their appearance, stats, ability and move pool could be different -- even their type combination (Fire/Dragon in the case of Charizard X Haxorus) -- but their pokedex number would be the same as their namesake.
In terms of which Pokemon would be fusable, I think Pokemon that are "paired up" in the pokedex should be prioritized: I.E. Plusle and Minun, Volbeat and Illumise, Solrock and Lunatone, etc. The reason being, it would be hard to give one of them an evolution without giving both of them evolutions, and potential-wise that may be redundant in cases; however, merging the two together to get a stronger Pokemon kills two birds with one stone (as much as I dislike that saying).
So there is real utility in that sense, and a practical way to approach it from a dev standpoint, and the result is an interesting way to get some fun designs and competitive usage out of old Pokemon lines that were previously considered not fit for high-tier competition.

You already have one.
It's called Pokemon ReBurst.
And it's terrible.
Good god no
If this is innovation then it's a great example of "innovation is not always correct".
Alternatively, spoken like someone who never played Pokemon.

That doesn't make the opinion on fusions becoming better any more right though.

When you see a Pokémon you can either weaken it to catch it for completion or to train. Or you you can defeat it for exp. Hope that helped.
Fusions would work, but there are problems like typing. What would happen if you fused Charizard with Flygon? A dragon/flying, a dragon/fire or a fire/ground type? Or all of them? If they just selected a few Pokemon, it would be really cool thought. And this should have its own dex.
I just think 649 is a good number to leave it at and adding more Pokemon means features like fusion get more difficult and/or time consuming to implement well. At this point I'd value more gameplay additions than an increase in something there's already an abundance of.
