    I'm interested on everyone's views. With Black and White being unveiled discussion about the Light-type has picked up.

    I'm against it, because it just doesn't seem necessary, and it's already represented by other types like electric, psychic, and steel. It could really mix things up, and not in a good way like the physical/special split. Of course, I'm just one person.

    No Please NO we don't need them there are enough types no light no light please
    you can see where I stand on it but seriously no there are how many 17 or 18 already so no
     
    No, because I think it'll make pokemon too complicated...and there are enough types anyways.
     
    Doesn't seem necessary? I guess...but maybe it'd be cool to have one more type around, i was pretty excited in G/S that they made Dark and Steel types (although very rare to have back then) I mean what's the hurt? In my opinion, i think it'd be great, sure there are about 17 types but we've had them for a while let's add some more spice to the typing chart =)
     
    NO. 17 types is confusing enough, 18 or more is gonna be hell for competitive battlers trying to memorize type effectiveness combos.

    Besides, Dark seems appropriate, but as someone already said, Light is represented in other types. No need to add something that's unnecessary.
     
    I don't understand why people think it would be reasonable to add anyway. Dark and Steel were only added in the second generation to balance out Psychic's supremacy. The type chart is already pretty much perfect. Why throw it off?
     
    I can think of at least three other fanmade elemental types that make more sense and can be better balanced than a light type.

    I can see how people think it's probable with the next games obviously playing off a darkness/light theme, but it really isn't needed
     
    Nintendo is already known for making crazy ideas such as this come to life.

    The Pokemon world doesn't need it, nor will it beg for a new Type such as this, but it would be kinda cool.
     
    It would be nice, but I just feel like adding something as major as a new type is a bit too late. I mean back when steel and dark types were introduced the franchise was fairly young and the following was also at a fairly young age. Now that many of the original fans have grown up I don't think a new type would be as appreciated or accepted.
     
    If anything they should just get rid of half the types they already have. Bug, dragon, and fighting don't need their own types. Ghost and dark should just be combined, as well as rock and ground. Type advantages are complicated enough as it is.
     
    im not really up for it...plus I cant think of many weaknesses it would have

    that would totally and utterly kill battling. You would not believe how screwed up it would be without that many types.
     
    Ehh another type? I think Light type would fail.. honestly, i have no idea why theres a "ground" and "rock" type..

    i think i'll just stick to the types we have right now :]

    Not necessarily. It would obviously require some arrangement of types. But if anything, that would make it easier to balance the fewer types that are needed. Each type should have the same number of strengths, weaknesses, and resistances. But it's much too difficult to do that while juggling 17 (let alone 18) types. Some of the type weaknesses and advantages don't even make sense, but for the sake of balance, bug is strong against psychic and dark is weak against fighting. That should all just be scrapped and redone.
     
    I voted unsure, but on second thought I think it's pretty unnecessary. The only real reason we got the Dark type was because Psychic was too broken, and it's fine enough to where we don't really need to add Light to the mix. I've heard a few suggestions for new elements that could be good, but I doubt this would work out.
     
    I Think We Should Make Virtual Instead.Make The Porygon Family Virtual And Scrap The Normal Typing,Add New Ones Too.Like,Pixebotv1 (Pixel And Robot) And,Which Evolves Into Pixebotv2,And Make It Weak To Electric Because Electricity Can Wreak Havoc On Video Games If Lightning Strikes A Power Pole Or Something Like That.Also Make It Weak To Fire.Plastic Video Game Consoles Can Overload And Start A Fire.
