Cipher 2007, VERY good point. Probably the best anyone has made. Light type isn't needed. Now that I think about it, it somewhat copies fire type too. I won't go on another rant, I have to work on my netbattle team. Thank goodness for all of you b/c I'd probably take up the whole freakin' page.

Well sweeties, I would love to see a Light type Pokémon! X3 If there's a Dark type, there has to be a Light type.

I completely agree. I'm surprised the Light-type hasn't come out in any of the new generations yet. Without a Light-type, what's the point of having a Dark-type anyway?

I've heard that the Dark-type attacks deal a little more with evil and chaos than with just plain darkness. But either way, it has an opposite--light. And Light being the opposite of Dark would kind of be the fun part about it. The Light and Dark-types could have completely opposite type matchups, so a Light/Dark-type Pokemon would be neutral to all types of attacks. (But of course, that means getting rid of the Psychic-type immunity.)

I always found it awkward that some Normal-type attacks don't really seem that "normal" to me--most notably the sound-based moves, Swift, Tri Attack, and Hyper Beam. That idea of a Sound-type could be expanded into this category of attack, perhaps called the Energy-type. This type would utilise any miscellaneous form of energy not covered by any of the other types, and has an immunity to itself. Also, this type could be weak against the Normal-type--that would be a first.

I won't even get into my hatred of the idea of light type. I have to leave to the airport anyways. I will say that a ??? type like the move curse would be interesting. Dark means more like sinister so light type doesn't make sense. It is so obvious it is completely bland and generic. RUN! He turned the lights on! Just saying. Generous type would be more like the opposite of dark but who wants that? Like Cipher 2007 said, dark and steel type were NEEDED, light type is WANTED, not NEEDED at all. What current pokemon would be light type anyways? Don't even say blissey or any of those cute little puffballs. Yeah, that's all I got. Virtual type would be pretty cool...

Well, I do have to agree on the steel and dark types being needed (But did they both HAVEto be weak to fighting?) I also have to state that a Light type would be interesting, but if they don't end up having one, I will not be phazed in any means whatsoever. I mean' I like it, but it's WAYYYYYY too obvious. That's why I tried to mix it up a little. No offence to anyone for the light type, but it's just over-rated in my opinion...

Alright people, the poll is closed as of today, and as I said I would. I will take the most popular types, having more than 3 comments about. And post them into a new poll, with dual options. Meaning you can pick two.

As it stands, Space, Light, Virtual, Sound and Chaos.

Too those who said ??? type, yeah im putting that into the chaos category.

The new thread will be;

Ok, I love that people are still thinking of new types, but the new thread is here now.
http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=98124

Please go there with any more ideas, and vote on the findings. ^^

GodSaurus @Anti Pop-culture warrior (in his post rambling about eeveelutions): Well, names like "Leafeon" and "Flareon" aren't too creative either.

Hey, what about this:
GLITCH type XD
I believe would fall under the virtual type. ^^

they should change Flying to Wind type because Flying sounds too Bird-like. If they made it a Wind instead, then you could see more pokémon with Flying abilities w/out being birds or dragons!

Probably the only other logical option, and this would be a stretch anyway, would be to add a Light type. It would be good against Dark but Weak against Psychic, like the Fighting type. But Light could also be good against Ghost. It would be really cool if its attacks were super effective against Darks but if Dark attacks were super effective against Light.

Na, I got no problem with this thread continuing, open forum for ideas is all cool with me. The intent behind the thread was to make another thread with the top type ideas into a Poll. Of which I did. Im happy people still have an want to say if they think there should or shouldnt be new types. ^^

Heck my last comment on the new poll, which is just for the voting. People been putting in their ideas if there should be a new type or not. Which belongs here, and not there. ^^

Sadly I think I underestimated you all, on how many people I guessed were going to get into this thread. lol

I think I brought this up somewhere else, but we could use a Feral or Beast type (clearly, I'm undecided between the two names). I think it would be cool to have a lot of mammal Pokemon in it and maybe some reptiles and birds, namely Staraptor, Spearow, and Fearow, because they would qualify as untame or savage Pokemon.

Here's how I figure the match-ups could be.

Defense Attributes
Immunity: Ghost
Resistance: Fighting, Fire, Water, Ice, and Psychic
Weakness: Dragon

Offense Attributes
Super-effective: Ghost, Fighting, Ice
Not-very-effective: Rock and Steel

I know that may be a weird way to list them, but it should be easy to figure out.
