  • With B/W out it was revealed that there are no new types. Was anyone disappointed? Personally, I didn't really care.

    I really don't see why you should complain. Think of all the other things they gave us :/

  • It is good imo that there are no new types. People were expecting a Light type, thank God that didn't happen.

    Didn't expect any, and if there were it would have been weird. We have enough types already, no need for more. All Nintendo can do now is combine more types because there are so many possibilities.

  • I am perfectly happy with no new types. They wanted to stay with the roots or go back to them with Black and White, so making a new type or types would not be the way to go. Then again they did introduce Triple/Rotation battles. I am in different when it comes to new types, as it stands we are perfectly fine with what we got, so why change it. Then after Generations in the distant future it may be nice for a change up, like new types.

  • I'm happy with the types we have now to be honest. Light Pokemon would be silly, as the psychic type is the opposite of the dark type.

    Wait... what about a plastic type? Pwahahaha.

    Meh, I'd too lazy to learn the new typings and advantages. I already have it down enough and know how to balance teams and stuff. A new type would make me have to not be lazy.

    I'm open for new typing but I'm more interested in expanding Eevee's evolution tree to include more types.

    Moved to Pokemon General, since it's referring to whether you want new types in general or not, rather than specifically about B/W's typings. And there was no active one I could see, so if there is, I must be blind.

    As for me, I don't want any new types in Pokemon. :x I think what we've got is good enough to last til the end of Pokemon.

  • It would be a bit silly to introduce a new type, would it not?

    It would mean some old pokemon gain a new type, and only a handfull of pokemon would have been spefically the new type. Not to mention it would be competing with allready existing types (such as Ice or Dragon), who do not have a very big roster to begin with, potentially cutting in to there numbers in order to make room for these few new type pokemon.

    Finally, there's like what, 12 types allready? I think that's enough.

  • I know people have been pining for ages for a Light type to go alongside Dark--it had some really heated debates in BW for a while, at the very least--but I don't want new types at all. I think it would just confuse things and there isn't really a need for it, nor can I come up with any reasonable elements that need representation.

    But mostly I'm just too lazy to memorize a new typechart--I barely have the current one in my head as it is. :(
