Hello again peoples,
This is part two, of my New type pokemon thread. See the original here;
http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=2708037#post2708037

So, the top 5 types were the following;

Space, Sound, Virtual, Chaos, and Light.

Sound and Virtual came out with the best replies, and supportive ideas. Meanwhile Light while having many backers, had even more opponents. Space and chaos having about equal in yay or nay comments.

So now is the pick for which of those 5, you think there should be, are needed, or just sound like fun.

Also, if you have any ideas to add in for any of these 5, please by all means add them in, to either this thread or the affore mentioned.

Thanks, Vizforte

-sigh- my computer fragged out while posting, and for some reason switched to a non poll thread.. blah.

Since I got ignored last time

Honestly, A new type would cause for great excitement but almost everything is covered.
Why would we need a light type, light is everywhere. It'd be pretty hard to qualify. Okay i've done this before in another thread.
Star type, star's are gas, which would fit under poison/fire type in my mind.
Space type? Space is just space, nothing else. The stuff in space is mostly types of minerals, which is represented fine by rock, steel and ground. The other stuff (i'm talking about Aliens of course) culd probably fit under another type (like Deoxys and psychic.)
Wind in the past has been characterized under flying, which I think works. Grass and Normal could also fit this category.
The problem with wood type is that, wood comes from trees which would fit under grass type (i think it should be renamed plant type).
Virtual type sounds cool, but is a lot like psychic. Eather that or its technology (which I'll get to next).
My least favourite suggestion by people is the "machine type" if they're thinking robots then, this is my argument. Steel+Electric=Machine. Very few cases go against that. Virtual is the only one I can really think of, but Virtual technology, i'm guessing still has to do with electricity, maybe poison (like car fuel)

I myself arn't agaisnt new types, I'd love to have a new one, I'd love to get excited over it but I can't find a reason to believe we need a new type. We can't have new types for the sake of having new types.
When they created Steel, there was nothing really like it and Dark gave versatility to the game, took power away from the almost invincible (when used correctly) psychic type. The only thing like Dark was Psychic/ghost. (like evil sorcerer, which would now probably be a Psychic/Datk type.)
I'm begging to hear something that would work, but I find the purpose, is just not there, or you wouldn't really be able to draw anything for it, (like say an "air type.)

Edit: Correct me If i'm wrong about anything please

I am though looking forward to lots of brand new type combinations:P
As for sound, its noise, all pokemon make noise with their cries, how can you characterize that. A sound wave pokemon could be done but besides that nothing else could truly fit under that.

I'm beginning to see a little light on the light type but honestly, almost everything is covered. Normal, Rock, Ground, Flying....with the available combinations we don't NEED another type.
