if there were a light type, wouldnt it make sense to make the mascot of the brand new games a light type too?

but then again, zekrom isnt a dark type, so i have no idea. :D

LOLOL, you guys are so easy to troll. XD It was really obvious he was being sarcastic.

But actually, no, if there was going to be a Light-type it really wouldn't make as much sense to make it the mascot of a game as people are implying. How many Dark- or Steel types have been mascots of a game, eh? If memory serves me correctly, the answer is one, and that was for the current generation.

It isn't needed, but it would be cool to have. Then we could have 18 types.

Type: Light
Strong to: Dark, Flying, water, Ghost
Weak to: Dark, Psychic, Ground
Resistant: Light, Ghost, Fighting
Not effective to: Steel, Ice, Bug
Types immune to it: Grass

This would change around the game quite a bit though:
-Some Pokemon's types would have to be changed to make up for the lack of light types.
-Some attack types would have to be changed around.
-Hidden power will have to be fixed up.
-Ceartain types like water will gain more weaknesses and pokemon like spiritomb will have a 4X weakness to light attacks.

Adding another type would be very cool and all, but I think that the negative effects of changing the game up might outweigh the the positive side of having it.

Some of your match ups don't make any sense. Water would either be resistant or Immune. Water can Refract and Reflect light so it simply passes through or bounces off, similar to Ice. Light Resistant to Fighting? How'd you come up with that? Makes no sense. Weak to Psychic and Ground? Why? I can see a weakness to Dark, but that's it. Ghost would be pushing the envelope, but still. Also Light Immune to Grass? WTF?! Grass would be immune to Light. Grass absorbs light to create energy.

you can't punch light, can you? maybe that.

Dude what the Heck. Stop talking about me in this thread. I never really did anything except say there was a light type. Now all you guys are rubbing it in my face when reshiram goes Fire and I say theres no light type. I dont think theres even a chance at a light type anymore, but Giaru makes me think maybe a Time type? Then you have Dialga...
Anyone feel free to join me in my suport of a Time type.

Okay we got over the grammar arguments but stop insulting each other. This is a thread asking about new types in a Pokémon game. We're allowing discussion because this is a discussion board but I am very close to either banning all replies that are not blatant "no I do not think there will be a new type" or "yes I think there will be a ___ type" because you guys are not showing me you can handle it maturely.

Seriously, this is a good thread to have but if you can't go a page without flaming each other, it's only going to be closed.

(Same goes for trolling. Yeah, it's ridiculously easy, apparently, but don't do it.)

Lmao you can't troll me dude. Unlike a lot of people, I know I'm on the Internet where jokes are bountiful =]

Also, also: You said there'd be no light types before this post. hehehe

As for the time type....I really don't ever see that happening. Dialga is one pokemon out of 493 (sans B&W pokemon)

Perhaps it could be those who are ancient in comparison to modern ones (by pokedex or other mentions)? Such as Unown, Ho-Oh, Ninetales, Aerodactyl, etc, straying from the conventional time storyline and instead referring to older Pokemon, if that were to happen, that is. :x

^Good point, however it's far too late to start retyping pokemon. =P

@electricscyther: In fact, the light type had a far better chance of making it. We knew it wasn't gonna happen but they certainly had more than two pokemon retype possibilities.

Ok by this statement you also rule out, Grass. Grass can't hit light. Water can't hit light. Steel can't hit light. Fire can't hit light. Rock can't hit light. Ground can't hit light. Electric can't hit light. Ice can't hit light. I really don't need to go on because only dark would have any effect to light. Oh wait...you can't punch darkness or Shadows either...They why can fighting be super effective? hm....

Now seriously. You can't set up a weakness Chart for Light types without giving a base for which you made the light type. Cause if you don't then you are saying its the same thing as what allows us to see during the day. If that's the case, then NO Type can hit it cause nothing can hit light.

well the third game mascot could be dark/light to really show ying & yang but its speculated that third mascot will be a green serpent light type isnt something that has just been thought of im sure when dark type was made they thought of light type but decided that it would unbalance the game.
With Reshrim and Zerkom being Yin and Yang I doubt there will be a third Legendary to compliment these two. They balance each other out already. If a light type would be implemented they would show it later using non-legendary Pokemon.

When they introduced Steel and Dark in Gold and Silver, there wasn't a Legend for it.
