See, I always thought there should be a Chaos type. Kinda like dark, but a little different. The pokemon that could fufill the Chaos type could be Mightyena, Absol, Ninetails, and so on. Another good type would be the Sound type, with Exploud and Kricitune and stuff...
Chaos I like, and have thought of aswell. Sound.. I like that one, alot of attacks would be changed to it, Supersonic, Sonicboom, (technically all the thunder moves as thunder is NOT electricity but the sound therein caused by, lol) Sing of course. Alot of the confusing attacks would be under the sound type. Should then addin a new status effect "Dazed" Kinda like Paralyze and Confuse put together, might hit might hit self, may fall over on their butt. lol

Wouldn't be gone, but tweeked yes, either change the name to Soundguard, or make it be a confuse proof deal, or increase there in. Sound type would need to be sound proof though, like ghost to normal, the only type thats immune to itself. Because most of those pokemon are deaf anyways, and just can't hear.

Ok, I was pondering this Light type which seems to be a pretty popular one.. and thinking.. ok yeah shoulda had it in GSC, but... maybe they fell upon the same issue I am now... I can't think up a decent type setting. Like ok, Dark it would be weak to, and strong against. IE Dark attacks would do X2 dmg, and light would likewise do X2 dmg to Dark. Thusly they are equalled out. But from there... yeah can't think of anything else. I mean fire and electric would need to be in the set somewhere, as they would effect light...

But Steel, Fighting so on, idunno. Throw me a line on ideas.

So far its looking like Light, Space, Virtual and Chaos are going up into the next poll so far.

No new types. It really is fine. Maybe one would be aight, but NOT light type. It's just a copy of dark but opposite. If there's a new type how about something creative.

Sound is pretty creative, as is Virtual. Didja check the first couple pages of the thread?

Fire/Grass would be interesting, the Burning Bush pokemon, it is said that it hears voices.. lol.
A toast to you, sir. That made me chuckle.

Uh, back on topic, I think maybe just one more type wouldn't hurt. My vote go onto the Light-type.

Non-Elemental. One that isn't weak against any one Type, but also doesn't do extra damage against other Pokemon. That's where attacks like Hyper Beam would fit into (instead of Normal Type, which is still weak to some other types).

The words 'Non-Elemental', always strike fear into the hearts of opponents.

New types I see should be added:

Shadow (I find it really annoying that Shadow type pokémon are only available in XD Gale of Darkness, so I say, let's bring em into a new game and make them available)
Light
Wood
Iron
Animal (I'm not kidding here)

And I had some ideas for Eeveelutions on another thread but I was directed here :P

So, here we go :D

Drageon (Dragon)
Steeleon (Steel)
Pesteon (Bug)
Eartheon (Ground)
Soreon (Flying(soring through the sky :D))
Toxeon (Poison)
Illuseon (Ghost)
Boldeon (Rock)
Fighteon (Fighting)
Shadeon (Shadow)
Shineon (Light)

um...iron? steel = treated iron.
That's like saying we need a "stone" type when rock is already present.

Animal? Umm... that = normal.

No new types are needed. However i think a merge between rock and ground into an "earth" type would work well. Since 80% of rock types are ground as well. Though it's definately not needed.

Space type? Eh?

Wouldn't they have to change Palkia's type then? Goo type? Something like a poison type?

There really aren't any more elements to add, unless you think time and space are, but those aren't elements anyways. If you change the past, the future will be affected, so I don't see why they had to add in 'pokemon of time'.

But that's just me.

Light! It makes me seriously mad that dark has been around for three generations, but light hasn't. I mean, without light, how can there be dark?

Also, I would like a type for inanimate object-like pokemon, and man-made pokemon. I would say a 'fake' type, but that sounds kinda... stupid. xD Normal makes no sense for Porygon.

BIRD. xDD

Space would be another decent choice. With all these space-related pokemon, it would work. Deoxys and Jirachi are aliens, Cresselia and Darkrai have something to do with the moon, and then there's Palkia.

If there was space, there would have to be time as well. Pokemon like Ninetales, Celebi, etc. I would assume.

That's all I can think of.

I think that the creators of pokemon thought that psychic pretty much covered the light part... but then again, it could make sense.

dark is another word for "evil" in pokemon types.

Since there is an "evil" or "dark" type, common sense says that pokemon who aren't "Evil" or "dark" type...aren't dark or evil, there fore a light type isn't needed/makes no sense.

Light is a dumb idea imo. it makes no real sense.

Sound type however, i could see that happening. maybe add "deafness" as a status infliction :P

Yeah, I did. I quite like the virtual idea. After all, pokemon is a virtual game. Is it not? Sound would be cool, but space and time are just cuz of palkia and diagla. Light type...Oh boy. It is just so stupid. I mean really, light? It is too similar to psychic and electric type.

This was originally posted by "I am not a noob" Couldn't get the quote function to work right.

"New types I see should be added:

Soreon (Flying(soring through the sky ))
Toxeon (Poison)
Illuseon (Ghost)
Boldeon (Rock)
Fighteon (Fighting)
Shadeon (Shadow)
Shineon (Light)"

Are you dead serious? Wood? No. Iron? We have steel type! Light? You know my stance on light type. Animal? Oh boy...I won't comment cuz I'd blow a fuse. I'm tired of all of these eeveelutions. It was fine at 5.
Drageon? Gee, that's creative
Steeleon? Another creative masterpiece
Pestion? I actually quite like the idea of that
Eartheon? More creativity from I'm not a noob
Soreon? Ya, maybe. I dunno
Toxeon? Any more creativity and I'll have to call the police! Jeez! If you're gonna make eeveelutions at least put in some creativity! Dang...
Illusion? Pretty cool idea
Boldeon? Decent I guess
Fighteon? Tell me this: How is a cat gonna use fighting moves? Another plain pathetic name. Worst one so far. If nintendo used all thes, they'd be running out of eevee-like designs to make these generic pokes
Shadeon? Two things: Try not to overwhelm us with your creativity, and: There is no shadow type! Kinda defeats the purpose of ghost and dark types. Might as well destroy Pokemopn XD because it would be incorrect if shadow type was made.
Shineon? At least the name doesn't make me barf. I'm so sick of light type.

There's my prime example of why new types and eeveelutions shouldn't be made. Bland bland bland. Virtual and sound actually make sense and could actually cause some damage to a pokemon. Cloyster turned on a light! Kyogre fainted! No.

I'm not trying to bash everyone who has a different opinion from mine, so if you want light type that's your opinion not mine. I just would like suggestions for new stuff in pokemon to be something that ian't so generic and bland!

Sorry if I offended antone I'm just stating my strong opinion on the matter. Nothing more...

In a previous idea about Sound that I posted, I posted Dazed as a status effect that could be added in.

Chaos I like, and have thought of aswell. Sound.. I like that one, alot of attacks would be changed to it, Supersonic, Sonicboom, (technically all the thunder moves as thunder is NOT electricity but the sound therein caused by, lol) Sing of course. Alot of the confusing attacks would be under the sound type. Should then addin a new status effect "Dazed" Kinda like Paralyze and Confuse put together, might hit might hit self, may fall over on their butt. lol
Deafness or what have you, I think wouldn't work, as then it would/should mean that they are no longer able to ne hurt via sound type attacks, as they wouldn't hear them.

I would qoute anti-pop, but omg me qouting that much respectible thought, would put me unto a whole new page, and the next poster would be on another one after. lol. I can respect your opinions and I agree for the most part with some of them.

Some new Eevee evolutions would be cool, but I can also understand we don't want Eevee becoming the first pokemon to become baby god, then in the next gen becoming nerfed stat wise.

About the 5 main types that are being discussed here.
Light; while it would make sense, I personally can't see it working. And no one has stepped up to show me what or how it should go. Dark being its weakness and strength and vice versa makes sense. But otherly I can't think of any other setups.
Virtual; I can see this one evolving into something fun, maybe even taking a note from the banned ep with Porygon, where you get to go INTO a computer and finding the pokemon that have been created inside the pokemon programs by Bill and Lanette. A whole new world to play in. Just keep it from becoming like Megaman Battle Network. eepk.
Sound; I think has the best potential, specially with pokemon that should already be in this categoyr, ie Spinda, Whismur, Loudred, Exploud. Then many attacks, such as Supersonic, howl, many others. This one I really like.
Chaos; this one I can see working, just form the GCN games alone. Where they introduced the 'shadow' pokemon. Which while being just an affliction. Could say over years become part of the pokemon strain.
Space; Would actually make sense, if they wanted to get into the history of pokemon. Satoshi Tajiri's history. Pokemon were aliens came to earth, over years our animals became infected and gained new powers to become what we know as Pokemon.

I personally think there are many more viable types for pokemon to work with, I would very much like to see pokemon get back into the history of pokemon, and stop the repetitive gameplay, develop a more involving storyline. Anyone who started with pokemon red/blue then picked up Yellow will understand that feeling. Where you go from no story to, omg hey theres a story in my pokemon game!!! The heck!

We all know pokemon is far from over, and hopefully NIntendo and Gamefreak will start noticing that it could continue even longer if they make it feel new, and seem new. Same thing over and over gets abit like a repeating rash. lol. Lets fight team rocket again!... oh your groups name is Aqua, and yours is magma eh... OK lets fight team steam!.. oh my bad galaxy... are you ALL owned by Giovanni or just using the same inferior model of being beaten by a kid who hasn't hit puberty for fun?

They dont really need anymore types. That would just make the game a lot more confusing. I would love to see way more type combinations. Im glad they tried to make so many new ghost types. Some types that need more pokes:

Fire/Electric
Fire/Water, Grass/Fire (I dont know how, but they will some day)
Ghost/Steel
Electric/Flying (only Zapdos)

I also think changing the types of the starter pokes would be cool. I hate the same old thing over and over again.

Well, there should be a light type, a star type, a wind type, and some other types.
There's a lot of made-up types that I want in the next generation of Pokemon.
I thought of light type too.

Light type, moan...(I know, I didn't say "groan..." this time!). How generic. Light is SE (supereffective) against dark and vice versa. Tell me something I haven't heard. It's early in the morning and I'm in no mood to go on a rant, so I'll go on a mini-rant. Dark type doesn't refer to lighting. Last I checked "crunch" or "faint attack" darkened the sky or made it darker. Light type misses the point. Light type...oh boy. It would confirm to me nintendo is out of ideas. Light? What's that gonna do to Kingdra? Make it light blue instead of normal blue? The other types each have some good points. We need something that is either effective against dragon types or hurt by dragon types. Light type is the good vs. evil concept all mixed up. Dark is more like tricky or sinister, not pure evil or the darkness of the room. My best example is Weavile. Does that darken the room or look like a pure evil guy? No! Since when does light type mean "good" (rather than evil)??? It's so generic and obvious. To be honest, I don't think a light type would beat ME up. Light type is basically psychic type and electric type mixed in to a (for lack of a better term) retarded type. Virtual would be cool. Maybe add a type to a few pokes like steel was added to magneton. The porygon evos are obvious, but what about ditto? He could be virtual type. How about Zam or Clefable? They don't look like they're from a video game, but what pokemon does? (there's a strange irony in that statement.) So yeah, as you can see my stance on light type remains the same.

EDIT: Light type sucks! Sorry, I couldn't resist. So bland. Plain and simple.
