What "new" types do you think would be acceptable/would

The only good one there is maybe light. Maybe.

>>25053322
I dunno I saw a pretty good discussion on /vp/ that convinced me that sound was pretty viable.

Almighty

>>25053322
Light exists under a different name and certain light themes are split across existing types.

>>25053332
Sound does have a fair amount of moves and at least some pokemon that would become sound type.

I think pretty much every other type is either something that's "already covered" by other types, or would just have to have new pokemon made for it.

>>25053312
Team Sound here!

My second best is Cosmic.

Maybe if sound becomes a thing we'll finally get a dolphin pokemon.

none. All of them I've heard sound retarded.

>>25053312
>Blood type
I smell Carlos

>>25053358
Yeah I was thinking about Cosmic as well but I am not sure if its to close to psychic or not.

Only other type I could see "work" is Sound.

Every other one has its niche fufilled by am already existing type or is stupid.

the same was true of fairy

I wouldn't mind seeing ampharos, starmie, volbeat, lanturn, luxray and heliolisk becoming light type

>>25053312
Add sound
Subtract dragon, fairy, and bug (my type is a type of creature!)
Condense rock steel and ground into earth type.
Condense ice and water.
Condense ghost psychic and dark.

I think it'd be a much better idea if things like ice and steal were just treated like abilities and specified in moves (this move is super effective against grass!)

>>25053312
The problem I have with most of these new types is that they can usually fit into existing types already and if they were to change these types, it would vastly eliminate the amount of pokemon of certain types and there would be less new pokemon of that type.

Fairy already has gotten rid of the 'cutesy' normal types, as well as some psychic types. So anything that could remotely effect normal types would end up making normal type pretty much useless. That is why sound type in particular is a dumb idea to me, any pokemon that relates to sound could easily fit into normal or psychic type.

The ONLY type I could see really working would be a 'cyber' type. Not 'robot' or 'machine' type because that kind of type would mean there would virtually be no more new steel type pokemon and would get rid of quite a few already existing steel pokemon. They're not quite electric and not quite steel, they're 'digital' and there may be room for it.

I imagine Divine is suppose to be non-ghost afterlife pokemon or pokemon based off of religious material. Like angels and gods.

>>25053402
Fairy is the light type I'm talking about in the first part of the post. Electric has the literal light covered.

>>25053452
Anything that would fit into a nonliteral light type would fit into normal, fairy, or psychic.

Weak Against: Rock, Water
Resists: Ground, Rock

Nuclear

Resists: Psychic, Rock

Divine had better be like Almighty from SMT, with nothing to resist it or to be weak to it, but also no weaknesses or resistances itself. Like Normal type, but better and with less distribution. So timeless, like Struggle.

Need a feces type so we have somewhere to stick all of the shitmon.

>>25053436
I wasn't trying to simplify or complicate. That wasn't the purpose. The purpose was to rejoin things that shouldn't be split.
Just some types are pretty much the same thing, and some types shouldn't even be types.

Ground and rock are the same thing, and although steel is mildly different, it's pretty much just a different type of rock.
Psychic dark and ghost are all paranormal stuff.
Water and ice are the same, just one is cold.
Bug dragon and fairy are like saying 'mammal' 'beast' and 'elf'. So they're retarded.
Sound is the only type that isn't included that makes sense to me (so many moves are already sound based).
The argument against that is usually (should sight be a type too?) but making something visible either means creating an object or making an illusion, which would just make the power correlate to whatever the element of the object is, or be paranormal type if it's an illusion.

>>25053477

checkmate atheists

Ethereal - a counterpart to ghost, it would be immune to fighting and normal, super vs ghost, resist dragon, weak to flying. Other matchups would need to be sorted out obviously.

It would be similar to ghosts, but would be more mistlike, and feature less shadows and more light themes.

>why is this different to ghosts
It allows more variety for origins - ghost is usually a dead or sinister something, while Ethereal could be a fog bank or cloud theme (water/ethereal), or smoke (fire or poison) or even something as simple as shadows (dark.)

>>25053644
magic goes with dark/ghost/spooky.
In all honesty I don't have enough understanding of plasma to know it's relation to electricity and fire, but they seem to react differently in the world.
Dragon should not be a type.
Why is thunder a type?

The Japanese name is あくタイプ, Aku Type. Aku as in 悪, literally the kanji for "evil" or "wickedness." It's the paranoid coddling of American marketing that decided "evil" in a kids' franchise was too risque and substituted "dark."

>>25053844
I'm sure marketers had a hand in the name but Evil type doesn't sound quite right in English and it was was probably a flavor thing for the most part.

It's fine already with nine "physical", nine "special"

Any more would upset me

>>25053358
So, cosmic/fairy for clafairy? And Lunatone and solrock will lose psychic type?

>>25053312
most of those types are covered by other types: see >>25053382

however, I would love for Cyber/Virtual to be real. Porygon's line gets retconned and a bunch of new pokemon get discovered/created. A cyber/dark computer virus, a electric/cyber pikaclone computer mouse, a steel/cyber robotic 'mon.

>>25054301
If we absolutely *had* to add a new type, I'd prefer there to be two more, since we just got an even number of types for the first time and it'd be nice to keep that balance.

That said, Digital/Data/Cyber/Virtual type, I don't care which, would work well. Porygon is obvious, but if it was called Data type then perhaps a couple of mons like the Klink family could be worked in, or even better Rotom becoming Data/Ghost and Data/Whatever in his other forms.

The other I could stomach would be Sound, considering we already have a sub-category of sound-based moves, and several pokemon (Noivern, Exploud, Chatot, Jigglypuff, etc.) that could be switched around to Sound type to give them stab with the newly sound-typed moves.

Toss in a handful of new pokemon of each type and they'd have a pretty solid update while changing things even more drastically than just one new type did.

>>25053322
Light type runs into the same problem that Sound would, it requires gutting too many attacks to really make sense. Bug loses a good special attack, and steel loses its only special attacks.

>>25054364
>Bug loses a good special attack
Fire Punch and Fire Kick aren't Fighting type, right? Nor are Mega Punch/Kick.

I see where your concern comes from but remember how Pokemon treats types, that being, "loosely".
Sliver Wind and Megahorn could be seen as Bug-element Gust and Horn Attack, respectively.

The only moves that would be retconned into Sound would be all the Normal typed ones, like Howl, Round, and Boomburst.
As for "muh Pixelate+Hyper Voice", just give those who use that an identical Normal move called "Hyper Burst" or something. Problem solved.

>thunder = lightning
No.
And I was confused because you said that lighting and fire should be combined AFTER including thunder.
The confusion was caused by you.

Anyways, I made a chart with what I think is better typing. If a type has a net loss, I gave it special attributes (higher than average hp for example) and if it had a net gain, I gave it handicaps (lower than average speed, etc.)
I think that naturally some types would just naturally be weaker, so this is a more honest approach than pokemon's attempt to balance the game.

The wood type

>>25054882

i like how it fixes tornadus within the trio. it being flying as its elemental type already makes it odd with how types are currently shown in the UI, since flying isnt in the secondary type slot like the other two

still a shitmon tho

Many pokemon would become useless with those changes...

>>25054890
I unironically want the ??? type to come back, but I dont know how to implement it.
Would it have type matchups?
Would any pokemon have it as a type?
Would it have a gimmick like doubling the type matchups of the second typing of a pokemon? (.e.g. a ???/Fire pokemon double resists fairy but is 4x weak to Water)
What would pokemon with this type even look like?
What theme would the moves all share?
Maybe its a special type you can only acquire via some Mega Evolution-style mechanic?

>>25054989
It's more of a design choice that would have had to have been in mind from the beginning.
Pokémon has already solidified it's typing to stringently, and based too many Pokémon on dragons and bugs.
They'll never subtract a type. But if pokemon lasts another 30+ years, they'll probably add at least 2-3 more types just to keep people's interests.

I would only like to see Gas type pokemon because Flying and Levitate are just thrown in to pokemon they don't fit. If you float or fly because you are really light then you are probably just contain something lighter than air like gas.

How did I do?

Sound type makes sense. Would like to see it.
Cosmic type has potential, but I guess it's too close to Psychic and Fairy.
Maybe Data/Cyber type exclusive for Porygon line, since they always looked really weird as just Normal. They are as far from Normal as you can get.

>>25055349
But normal is also the "uncategorizable" or "versatile" type. Hence Dunsparce, Smeargle, Kecleon, Regigigas and Arceus

I once had the type "Beast" come up in my dream, but I've no clue how it would work nor why would that be needed.

bird

>>25055406
Normal could be Beast, while pokemon that are Normal typed but not animalistic get retyped
e.g.
>Regigigas = Fighting (now it truly rules over the Regis)
>Jigglypuff = Fairy or Fairy/Flying (since it is an air balloon, and it would also allow it to get some decent Flying moves)
>Castform = Flying (its more cloud than even Tornadus, not to mention it levitates. Flying is also the closest thing to a "sky/air" type, which suits its weather theme)

Yep, would really like to see sound, they'd already have a good base of potential pokemon, moves, and even abilities surrounding sound.

Only problem I would have is coming up with weaknesses/resistances/etc. Definitely super effective to water, grass resists it, I don't know how bugs hear compared to people/animals but hopefully bug would resist it. Other than that it would probably be all ass pulled.

Light-type
Super effective against Ghost (shadows), Water (purely for balance), Fairy
Not very effective against Ice and Rock (refracts light)
Does not affect Grass (photosynthesis)

Resists Ghost, Fairy and Light
Weak to Bug (bugs are attracted to light), Grass and Electric (something about waves and particles i don't remember from high school physics). Excluded Fire-types with flames because that's a cop out option

Retyped moves: Moonblast, Aurora Beam, Signal Beam, Solarbeam, Psybeam, Wish, Light Screen, Reflect, Flash, Tail Glow, Mist Ball, Luster Purge, Mirror Shot, etc

Retyped mons:

Psychic moves remain based on telepathy, telekinesis. Move/Pokemon based on illusions or invisibility can go either way
>But muh fighting-types
Still based on martial arts and chi moves, completely unaffected

They remain a clusterfuck. If they don't naturally produce light then they don't count as Light-types. Only possible exception would be Diancie who I could see going either way
>but muh retyped moves
Replace retyped moves with other moves based on their types, problem solved. Buff Leaf Tornado, Silver Wind, etc if you need to

Only retyped a small fraction of mons and moves on the assumption that the rest would be brand new. I may have missed good candidates.

some of these have already been mentioned, like Wind, Earth, and Beast
really pokemon's types cover a really broad range, it's hard to realistically justify too many more without getting terribly specific

>>25062571
>these types

>>25060035
"Strong" and "weak" arent used as opposites in here, they are used in the same way pokemon does. "strong" means "super effective against" and "weak" means "not very effective against" which arent always the case.

For example, Water is weak to Dragon but Dragon is not strong against water.

>>25053312
Air and Sound are the only good ones in here that could have more than a few pokemon. Everything else can go into the already offered types.

I always felt like Psychic should be perhaps divided. I think there is some difference between mystical pokemon, whose power is more like magic (like Xatu, Sigilyph, Claydol, Bronzong, Unown, Braixen etc.) and mind-manipulators whose power is actually psychic/brain-related (like Hypno, Beeheyem, Musharna, Malamar etc.). But then again there are some pokemon who unites both aspects (Alakazam, Gardevoir) so this probably wouldn't work.

>>25053312
All legends should have divine typing as a sub type

>>25063190

>>25063190
Sacred should have no SE offenses as well as no SE defenses. Only resists and things that resist it.

>>25063190
>not making deoxys and cresselia mono cosmic

>>25063212
Sounds like a good idea actually.

>>25063334
Deoxys' signature move is Psycho Boost, there is no way you can change it into Cosmic type, so it has to remain partially Psychic.
Cresselia would look good as pure Cosmic, and her signature move Lunar Dance is easily changed into Cosmic. But lore-wise she is linked with people's dreams, so Psychic type makes sense.

>>25063378
They introduce new sig moves all the time though

Divine
NVE vs Steel
See Iron Chariots and metals in general in mythology.

Weak to fighting- heroes fighting/defeating the divine, examples being Jacob outwrestling the divine, along with other mortals.

Fairy is weird, since it can go either way- fae creatures often being chased of by a cross, or being powerful seid users who are very threatening to gods.

>Fairy is weird, since it can go either way- fae creatures often being chased of by a cross, or being powerful seid users who are very threatening to gods.
That means it's both weak against and strong against Fairies.

>>25063542
what would taste and polycephaly be strong/weak to?

we need less types, not more. Make like the TCG and have Water/Ice be one and the same, Psychic/Poison/Ghost be one, Ground/Rock/Fighting be one, Normal/Flying be one, Bug/Grass be one.
Once down to a reasonable amount, it becomes much easier to balance the type chart from the fucked up lobsided seesaw that it is right now.

I think Sound type has a lot to work with when it comes to retrofitting existing mons with it.

Human-type for mons like Mr. Mime and Jynx

We should have these regular types:

Normal
Fighting
Poison
Bug
Steel
Fire
Water
Ice
Grass
Electric
Psychic
Fairy
Dragon

then these remastered types with different effectiveness charts:

Earth (Ground + Rock)
Dark (Dark + Ghost)
Wind (instead of Flying)

then these added types:

Sound

Other changes:
>certain moves like Earthquake and Magnitude don't effect pokemon that fly/levitate (they can make a list, there's only a few extra non-Sky-Battle eligible ones like Venomoth and Magneton)

>>25053312
they all suck and are basically one of the existing types like storrm and air... how dumb

>>25053397
Divine could be a cool "God Card" like typing, reserved for the most powerful legendaries.

>normal effectiveness against everything
>no weaknesses
>gets STAB on every type

Hey, this guy >>25063190 here, I came up with a few Sacred type moves, should I post them here or just make a new thread for new moves/abilities in general?

>what is humor

All of these get more ridiculous as you read left to right, all of which are aesthetic over tactic. Bar Sound.

Excluding sound is a reflection of personal bias. I'd argue that echolocation and sonoluminescent blasts are natural and sorta formidable as far as hunting tactics go. Light contrasts this by being almost exclusively for mating, escape or blinding

i would like delta and shadow types to be integrated in the game and add sound type to the game

Divine - Weak AND SE against Dark (polar opposites, and to show that good can't exist without evil and vice versa), weak AND SE against Dragon (Saint George and the Dragon. 'Nuff said.), NVE and resists Psychic and Fighting (since both are on the side of good, and thus allies)
