Been having fun with the retcon aspect that (with any halfway valid type) should be unavoidable in a "what if type X was added" scenario. Initially I was just contemplating one type idea at a time, but I figured that I've narrowed each of them down to distinct enough concepts that there wasn't any serious overlap between them, hence I decided to consider them all at once as well.
pic related is all currently existing PKMN with their types and my retcons of them.
(pic with only retcons coming in reply)
Some thoughts in regard to each speculative type:
-Aquatic
The main point of making this one was to split up the most common Water type (133 out of 802, in other words, every 6th PKMN is a Water type).
It sounds super silly and redundant at first, but hear me out.
Ever since the Tynamo-line (along with Stunfisk) got introduced, I've realized that being an aquatic creature does not have to equal being a Water type, and have hoped that we'd see more and more examples of non Water type fish and other aquatic creatures (Malamar is another line that comes to mind, but one could also count in some of the fossil-PKMN as well as ones like Crabrawler). The Tynamo-line is also the perfect example because it doesn't learn practically any Water moves.
Simialrly, the opposite holds true as well. Being a Water-type does not have to equal to being an aquatic creature. Meaning you can have Water PKMN that have Water slapped onto them as an element, like for example Suicune, Keldeo or Simipour.
So Aquatic as a type would on the defensive side be akin to some of the "species" types (Bug, Fairy, Ghost, Dragon..), including most fishes and sea-dwelling creatures, and on the offensive side it would be like a "skill" type (Flying, Fighting, Psy, Poison..), which would encompass being able to battle well in water (Aqua Jet) and general things like swimming up Waterfalls, Diving, or using body-parts more common in certain aquatic creatures (Crabhammer).

-Wind
similar case of redundancy here, as Flying currently covers any unflavored wind-concepts. But in addition to the literal wind-aspect of it, the Wind type as I envisioned it would also include any strong association with agility (hence also including PKMN like Arcanine, Dodrio, Ninjask, the beasts), as well as using means of affecting the opponent at a distance, either by spreading spores/harmful particles or gases etc. (hence Weezing, Aromatisse, some of the butterflies/moths). Moves would include things like Gust, Extremespeed, Hurricane, Razor Wind, Air Slash, Smokescreen, Defog etc, while also having the gimmick of there being a diverse selection of dual-type moves with other types (Leaf Storm, Fire Spin, Whirlpool, Blizzard, Ominous/Silver/Fairy wind, etc.)
-Plastic
this is the type I'm least satisfied about the name, but I just can't come up with something better that doesn't do a worse job at representing the type.
It's basically everything that seems at least partially unnatural (but not in a mystical, paranormal way, while also being distinct from alloys/machinery), as well as amorphous creatures (irregular/changing body structures) and being able to grow new limbs.
I started doing this one as a joke, but was legitimately surprised in how big and diverse the potential application was.
Moves are less clear-cut and would certainly need new ones (not like Fairy relied on retconning old moves either anyway), but some examples would be Substitute, Recycle, Minimize, Self-Destruct, Bind/Constrict, Thrash, Tri-Attack..
-Sound
probably the most popular fake type out there. Just felt like I needed to include it, since I came across plenty of PKMN that were screaming for it, at least as much as any of the other fake types above. The concept is straightforward and already has some presence in game mechanics.
>>33118403
-Cosmic
Feel like this one is the least elegant to implement, due to anything relatable more often than not already being covered by Psychic (resulting in lots of Psy/Cosmic combos, as well as the most cases where a non-Normal type has to be taken away for it). But fairly obvious theme: aliens, space in general, moon-related things, as well as astrological association and wish making etc.
I'll list some particular PKMN that I had trouble deciding how to retcon their type combination:
-Shiftry. Clear wind association. It's a prankster demon. Evolves with a Leaf stone.
-Flygon. As if not being able to be Bug or Flying wasn't unfortunate already, it could also be a candidate for Wind (causing sandstorms) and Sound (mostly due to Vibrava).
-Voltorb. Electric/Sound or Electric/Plastic?
-Scrafty. Getting rid of secondary Fighting for Plastic likely too significant. (did the same with Kommo-o, but feels way more justified there)
-Seismitoad.
-Noivern.
-Yanmega, Wind or Sound?

Serena’s flight was “Latias H71" (it is said right before the kiss scene starts). Serena was going to Hoenn, so the #71 in the Hoenn dex is Mawile - or in Japanese, Kuchitto. Kuchi (Mouth) and To (with). Or in a rough translation, “Latias - but with the mouth”.
It’s the writers saying: “We can’t actually show you what they did because of censors, but she basically did what Latias did in the 5th film, but with the mouth.”

Post your Pokemon Maids bc best maids.
The next generation game has a region based on Chile
>Diverse natural landscape (Desert, forest, ocean, mountains, a city, etc.)
>Mines, facilities, ghost towns, dunes, caves, islands and more types of dungeons.
>Earthquakes
>Condor flying type legendary Pokemon
>Huemul Ground type Legendary Pokemon
>Moai Legendary type Pokemon
>Caleuche Water/Ghost legendary Pokemon
>Pokemon based on folk tales, and real flora and fauna
Problems with this idea
>Linear as fuck unless and earthquake forced you to go through sea to get to the southern part of the region
>Almost no water routes, maybe a river or two and some optional seashore routes
>Ice types are once again relegated to the lategame unless you go through a mountain or do the whole go to the south first.
What do you guys think ? How would you improve it?
I thought of this after looking at Kalos again and noticing how stupid it is to have a random patch of desert in the middle of a grassy region,
