    What @clasingla is true. If there was a new type it would have to be Grounded in reality. Think Time as a new type. For many people that play this game this would be very hard to conceptualize even though it could well easibly be drawn as a Pokemon.

    And then there is the trouble of reclassification of already existing Pokemon to the newest type. I can see my Youtube subscription box Now.

    Newer typs could very well easily be implemented into the game even if there was only one family but defending the type to stay in a sequel game sounds like a PR Nightmare.


    So to start a new type I think you'd need like 50 different pokemon to start us off but at this time I do not think it is needed. It would be hype to also go in the opposite direction like making Rock and Steel the same thing but I don't know

    @Michael629303 Synthetic would be interesting to retroactively apply to older Pokémon like Porygon and potentially Mewtwo. It might be more fitting than Steel which served to represent the more artificial nature of some Pokémon.

    I am not sure how that type would translate into gameplay, though.

    @SmartAlakazam I interpreted Light as an antithesis to Dark Pokémon, bur Fairy already fills that niché in a 90s era censorship kind of way.

    @TheJeffers In my understanding, yes, but Fairy could also have the Light type (is there a dark-fairy Pokemon?) and kinda be like a secondary typing that gives fairies their powers.

    @SmartAlakazam the Grimmsnarl line is dark/fairy typed

    @Tacolaser i was asking because most fairy types embody the aspect of being good, right, and kind. So the Light type can also kind of do that but be like the bestower of those qualities. @TheJeffers It could also be used alone for a legendary.

    My guess is Physics needs to catch-up; if Light was considered to be a molecule, it'd be easier to comprehend as a soluble and it would therefore be able to exist in Pokemon type

    @SmartAlakazam My guess is Physics needs to catch-up; if Light was considered to be a molecule, it'd be easier to comprehend as a soluble and it would therefore be able to exist in Pokemon type before those other qualities you listed are applied.

    Periodic Type.

    Bad against Fire, Ground, and Flying (elements are found underground and can be reactive to fire and air)

    Good against Steel, Fairy, and Bug (some acids burn steel, fairy because it's too OP, and Bug because bugs are just defenseless)

    I thought about a couple:

    Light-type: the counterpart of the dark-type, this is just logic

    Abnormal: the counterpart of the normal type, all types are super effective against it, but abnormal is also super effective against all types.

    Magnetism:-type: super effective against steel, electric and fire

    Space and time type: This will give powerful Pokémon

    Pixie: perfect addition for cute Pokémon.
