1) A new type should be different enough to seperate it clearly from other types. Wood-type? Lava type? These are different from Grass and Fire how?

2) Many new pokemon should be able to be created from this type. How many light-type pokemon could you make up? Go on, try it.

I think that the Digital type would be a good one to introduce.

Super-effective against:
Dragon
Steel
Ghost

Not very effective against:
Rock
Bug

Weak to:
Bug
Poison
Steel

Resistant to:
Rock
Dark
Electric

Pokemon (already created):
Porygon family

Pokemon (created by me):
Cybaratt - Mutant form of Rattata that feeds off digital information.
Datatron - Living balls of data trapped in a clear "body"
- Waretron (similar to Datatron, but larger and sleeker)
- Sphetron (Digital/Steel) - Hovering robotic sphere reminiscent of the Toclafane from Doctor Who
Interbot (Digital/Electric) - Mechanical "eye" atop a mass of wires
- Intraborg (Digital/Electric)
Viro (Digital/Ghost) - Airborne virus
Noro (Digital/Ghost) - Airborne antivirus
Spriteas (Digital/Fighting) - Resembles a 90's-style humanoid sprite
Snart (Dragon/Digital) - Draconic creature that can see all the information in the world.

Do you mean an exoskeleton type Pokémon?

Regards,
The Pokémon Professor
no... not at all

an exoskeleton type would include pokemon such as arthropods, crustaceans, arachnids and other pokemon with EXOSKELETONS

and all of these pokemon would technically be INVERTEBRATE

as you can see, i included cubone, marowak, houndour, and houndoom as possible candidates, because they have bones OUTSIDE their bodies (outer skeletons)

... just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding as an exoskeleton type is FAR from what i intended to propose

although i guess my skull type would be better off as a secondary type (like flying) than a solo type (unless you want zombie pokeymans)

Light-type. I really miss this type. He would be strong against Dark, but weak by Dark as well.
Some of the less Pokémon who should be of the Light-type: -Arceus, -Togekiss, -Cresselia, -Jirachi, -Illumise, -Volbeat, -Altaria..

Light type is just NO! Why is that its super effective against Dark something everyone is excited about? Theres only ONE bulky dark type, Tyranitar, and he's 4x weak to fighting already, and steel, and bug, and water, and grass. Seriously, light types popularity is just no. Its already covered ensemble by fire, steel, and for a small amount, bug. Unless you want to revamp a bunch of moves and maybe change like Ampharos and Togekisses typing, light is a terrible typing. And some other I have to shut down.

Wood: FOR GODS SAKES, ITS GRASS! Never metnion this, ever
Lava: Same as wood, but its fire
Ninja: This is dark and fighting together, little bit of steel... sort of secretly love this but it wouldnt work
Magic: Its ghost and psychic together pretty much, has small potential
Skull: Ghost
Wind: I know that its the only element missing, but Flying covers it
Digital: Its ok, sort of a decent idea, but doesnt have enough to really work with
Virus: Its pretty much poison, same if anyone said Radiation and I missed it
Plastic: Sort of like tougher normal typing, doesnt have any merit really
Cosmic: The only really decent one so far, although Im opposed to new types in general, Clefable and a few toher pokes could benefit, but it would be hard because a few Pokemon have 2 typings, another one wouldnt really work, like Metagross and Palkia could be cosmic typing.

So, theres my opinion on THAT

They couldnt base enough Pokemon off of steam, its to similar to water! Ice you can pull off because of the arctic and its biodiversity, but you cant make a crapload of cloud Pokemon.

Virus type
Did no one read my post? Light type being both super effective and weak to dark undermines the entire basis of turn by turn Pokemon gaming. The basis is that one type can always counter another, having a glass cannon like light type would wreck the balance.

And virus is poison.

Skull: Ghost
yeah, i dunno why you scratch off the idea of skull so fast...

i mean, THINK about it, it IS like ghost, but a physical version of it rather than special, ahhhh :O
i personally think it COULD work pretty good, though MOSTLY as a secondary type (think cubone, marowak, houndour, and houndoom(change dark --> skull) even koffing and weezing could fit), also

more pokemon like these would be good aesthetically at least
i mean SURE, skull sounds like **** (the actual word), but i couldn't think of anything else to put it as, and zombie would be even worse...

meh, i think it'd work, i don't mind if you think differently though, w/e

Well all the types are a trait or a form of energy, like fire is a form of energy, fighting is a trait. Skull is something physical that they all have, so its not really a type, it could be like an egg group or something.

Skull has too many similarities to pre existing types, like dark and ghost.

I wouldn't make a new type, but if I had to, I would do this:

Void-type Pokemon that use the powers of gravity and emptiness to decimate foes. This would call for the switching of certain moves like Gravity, Trick Room, and Vacuum Wave to Void-type. Void-type attacks would usually inflict damage indirectly or based on a percentage of the enemy's health (like Super Fang or Nightmare). There would also be attacks that nullify status-changes (like Growl, Swords Dance, etc.) and field changes (like Sunny Day, Stealth Rock, Mist, Tailwind, etc.; except Void-type moves) and inflict increased damage if any of the mentioned effects are in play. Support moves would be mainly defensive, such as changing physics around the user in order to slow down projectiles or to bend beam-like attacks away from the user. Moreover, Void attacks would be neither super effective nor weak against any other type; no moves are super effective or resisted by carrying a Void-type characteristic.

I've thought of a similar notion, I called it Rift-Type. It is similar to cosmic in being mainly support moves. But the whole thing as a whole seems a bit overly complicated, and a little too specialized.

The first things that come to my mind are

Radiant: This is pretty much light and it's rather unoriginal so no.

Berserk: Just high attack melee pokemon but then fighting kinda covers that already.

Mercury: The element not the planet, this would be one funny one all the mercury pokemon would be like a metal muk.

Non-elemental: Kinda like normal only no fighting weakness and can damage ghost types(vice versa) so it's like neutral damage all the way.

Paper: Something that's made of paper, it'll be good for paper cutting pokemon.

Serpent: There's dragon so why not serpent and it could be like the opposite of dragon giving them a super effective damage to something non-dragon.

That's all my lame ideas

I tried to make it as un-specialized as possible, but still unique (as a support type). Its main focuses are
-- to nullify status changes.
-- to use the enemy's status changes against them.
-- to nullify field changes; to impose field support.
-- to inflict damage regardless of type-affiliation.
-- to prevent attacks or to lessen their impact; to decrease the efficiency of moves.

These roles fit a variety of uses and are attractive for a number of situations. While not particularly offensive, these roles still serve to have some offensive possibilities. For example:

-- A move like Punishment that does damage based on the amount of power-ups the foe has.
-- A move that gains priority if your foe has stat-ups.
-- A move that switches stat ups and stat gains (probably a field move).
-- A move that does more damage when there are field effects up; clears field effects after.
-- A move that halves the foe's health.
-- A move that slows all Pokemon in play (but not those switched in later).
-- A move that does damage and prevents the user from being hit by Physical attacks that turn (low PP and low power for balance).

Attack names could be named "Momentum," "Inertia," etc.

The strategy would be to weaken the opponent so they are encouraged to set up on you, at which point your attacks also become more powerful.

As what did my mind tell me. I would choose Solar Type. Its effective to Dark Types/Psychic Types and Ghost Types. Grass Types. Why? It's because it's the combination of the Light Type and also the Fire Type. And it's a great one because of it's combination. And it could beat 4 Types.

Wouldn't solar type be weak against grass, since plants use light to make food?

Anyway, I don't like the idea of a solar/light type, as said before.

These are all pretty good ideas. Hopefully they will bring some new types in at some point. Anyway, I liked the ideas of the Light and Unknown type, so here are some fact files I came up with.

Light Type

Super Effective Against...

Dark (light always prevails).
Ghost (as people have said, light 'purifies').
Ice (well sources of light also provide heat, therefore ice should melt before it?)

Not Very Effective Against...

Grass (chlorophyll on plants absorbs light).
Fire (fire is also a source of light so it's they don't effect each other much).
Electric (like fire, electricity is a source of light too).
Ground (the only thing light can do to ground is heat it a little).

No Effect Against...

Steel (steel represents metal, sort of, and metals sometimes reflect light?).
Rock (light can't travel through rock).
Water (light travels straight through it).

More Effected By...

Grass (as I said before, chlorophyll absorbs light). ***
Steel (steel reflects it, which I guess makes it dominant).

Less Effected By...

Fire (read the not very effective section).
Electricity (").

Immune Against...

Dark (read the super effective section).
Ghost (").

Type Effects

Blindness - Causes bad accuracy. (intense light can cause blindness?)

Pokémon Examples


Chinchou
Lanturn
Celebi
Jirachi
Shinx
Luxio
Luxray
Rotom

***: If a light move is directed at a grass type then it should gain HP due to the fact that light is absorbed by chlorohyll. Cool idea, no?

Anyway, I think this type would work. They've got dark and normal haven't they? Light surely deserves a place. And I think the effect of blindness would be a good addition. With any other type it wouldn't work though (but I guess there are a few moves like flash).


Unknown Type

It's basically just a nothing type. It's got no strengths, weaknesses or immunities. It's just there. Any Pokémon with this type will have high stats however.

This would be a good idea for the next generation. Then in the next generation after that it could be like...discovered or something. To be something else. But then that would make it awkward if the next generation became compatible with the one after.

I don't know. I like the idea of it but I couldn't think of any special things about it. The only example I can think of is Unown.

Spoiler:
Chlorophyll doesn't really absorb light. That's just what the textbook says.






Um, replace Flying-type with Wind-type.
