20.) Electric/Psychic
21.) Electric/Rock
22.) Electric/Dark
23.) Electric/Poison
24.) Flying/Fighting

39.) Rock/Dragon
40.) Rock/Poison
41.) Rock/Ghost
42.) Dark/Bug
43.) Dragon/Poison
44.) Dragon/Bug

153 possible type combinations, including the 17 mono-types... And as of now 649 pokemon were introduced (including the unofficial ones in the data), with 109 different type combinations.

Using my own math, assuming GameFreak introduces around 20 new type combinations each generation on average, it seems that the franchise is going to last for at least 2 more generations before they truly ran out of ideas. Probably new features to come?

Wonder would I still be interested in all this by then?
