Would you like to see new Pokemon types?

    The question is as stated. There are two arguments for this, and I'll present them:

    NO!: The only reason that Gen. 2 introduced steels and darks was to balance out the Psychic type. Any new types would be extremely redundant and possibly unbalanced; making it so that there would be too many to keep track of when considering dual types.

    YES!: New types would spicen up the games a bit, and provide hundreds of ideas for new Pokemon that could fit for them. And GameFreak knows what they're doing, they'll make sure that the new types are balanced and not go crazy with dual type alignments.

    I tried to make both arguments fair, although I'm a bit biased because I saw yes to new types. Still, what do you all think?

    EDIT:     For some reason it's not making a poll, so unless anyone knows a way to add a poll to a pre-existing thread the results can't be tallied. Sorry NGOL(nervous giggle out loud).
     
    Did you know?

    The Steel Dark type is VERY WEAK against FIGHTING type.


    I want a pokémon with "???" type (like the egg type.) with ability WONDER GUARD.
    There's no Pokémon will hit this pokémon...

    No...just...no.

    fiiiiiiller
     
    It would be fair for Normal type Pokemon to have a resistant, but there are too many Normal types and too many normal attacks so it balances out. But 17 types is enough already, we don't need anymore


    :t354:TG
     
    I say sure, why not? I still think a Sound and/or Light type could be plausible. There are plenty of moves that could be switched over to those types anyway.

    Seriously, Flash. Light. It makes sense.
     
    I have no ideas for any new types. Light type could be a possibility. ( I used to think Espeon was light type when I was like 6).
    But seriously, if you can think of a plausible type other then that, you can have a cookie.

    Sound type does look plausible maybe too. Exploud, maybe Slaking (facade spamming) and maybe some previously normal type moves such as growl, screech, or metalsound.

    Couldn't have put it better myself.

    No, I don't think we need more types. Seventeen is enough, and the new moves that come within each generation are enough new elements to battling, if you ask me.
     
    I dont think theres any immediate need of new types. i mean it wouldnt be bad, but they probably won't be that good. Like light seems okay, but i kind of equate that to psychic, like someone mentioned espeon. :P
    I guess sound might work out but i don't really see it as a type, i mean some pokemon can utilize it better than others, ie uproar and stuff but it seems like thats stretching it.
     
    I dunno. I wouldn't mind new types, like Light, for instance, but there's just not really any need for it.
     
    For me it would depend on what they could come up with maybe Space or Crystal might be interesting to see but, then again I'm happy with the types they have now.
     
    Well if anything give Normal a type that it hits super-effective against.
     
    ^Yeah deffinately.

    I always thought that if there's gonna be a "dark" type, then there should be a "light" type, because dark just seems like a useless balancer.

    I agree with that, but then what will be super affective against what? Light Super effective on dark or the other way around?

    I would say light being immune to dark and then light super effective against Ghost / Darks. That would give the dark an unfair disadvantage, but hey :classic: I would have to give this more thought though.
     
    I actually have been thing of a new type for awhile, this is what I thought up.

    Type: Light

    Strong against Dark Types
    Weak against Normal Types
    Weak against Dark Types [obviously vice verca]

    Moves:

    Light Beam - Sp Atk
    Light Shield - Sp Atk
    Heavens Gift - Self-used - Heals User
    Heavenly Punch - Atk
    Life Restore - Used Berry will be returned on user
    Flash - Special - will now become a TM and become Light.
     
    ^Seems good, but I don't see how it'd be weak against normal types. Now that I think of it, maybe GameFreak's idea of "light" is actually "normal" type? I don't know, just something I think.
     
    no new types please. we don't need anymore. and for what the person said near the start, hack a spiritomb, give it wonderguard. there.
