soc_puppetReasons Cubone should be mixed Ghost/Ground type instead of pure Ground:
1) It's originally found in Lavender Tower, the ghostiest place in Gen I
2) It fits thematically, what with the skulls and bones and all, as well as the lore surrounding it
3) It would have added a much needed second Ghost line to Gen I, helping to better counter the Psychic powerhouses and fill out types
4) It would have added a new Ghost line in general, where the franchise had only two total Ghost type lines prior to Gen III (the Ghastly line and Misdreavus)
5) Alolan Marowak would make more sense as an evolution, not being a 200% type change (from pure Ground to Fire/Ghost, the most dramatic evolutionary type change in the series)
Tune in next time, where I'll argue that either Butterfree or Venomoth should be part Psychic, or that the Drowzee line should be a mixed Dark type!
