>>29625944
Or you know, space type

>>29625934
what would clown be strong/weak against tho I'm curious

>>29626031
>>29625934
Yes, please tell us about this wonderfull type.

>>29625934
Is it just me or is Cerebreign literally a recolored M-Mewtwo Y.

>>29626104
it literally is

Id like a Digital type. Then make it weak to bug for the pun.

>>29625924
Mystic type, Cosmic type, Sound type, and Light type. They make a lot of sense, though mystic itself would just be a renaming of Fairy.

Fairy

>Light type
Maybe

>>29626207
I partly agree, but light type is included in both psychic and fairy... Sound on the other hand is more plausible because there are already a lot of sound based moves and quite a few pokemon that would fit in the type

Hits 2x: Flying, Electric, Water
Hits 0.5x: Ice, Rock, Bug, Psychic
Takes 2x: Psychic, Rock, Steel, Ice
Takes 0.5x: Electric, Water, Fire
Takes 0x: Flying

That alone does a shit ton of balancing

Now give me my Water/Space Starmie, GF

>>29626181
Sure, you can get a sound type when I get a contact type.

>>29626207
>Exploud? This one is just stupid
Noivern? Kricketune? Chatot? Meloetta?

>>29626291
It's like making a type for Wish because there are a bunch of Wish moves and wish-themed pokemon.

>>29626207
>Light type

that's literally normal type because ghost can't hurt that.

Does anyone have a cap of that "Hair-type" thread

I was thinking about a new type, specifically one that could realistically exist and be strong against water. Since we're getting more and more artificially created pokemon, what about a Plastic type? Could expand on artificially created pokemon; something like mass produced "pokemon". No idea about weaknesses and strengths other than it's super effective against water because fish get cucked by plastic waste.

18 sound based moves. Fairy has only 17.

22 fairy pokemon (not counting the ones introduced in and after gen VI)
~20 pokemon that would fit into the sound type (+ the ones being added in a future gen)

>>29626428
>Taking away almost all of the Normal Special STAB options

>>29626428
Couldn't Parting Shot be considered one?

>>29626437
Most of the pokemon that learn those Normal Special STAB moves would be retconned to Sound type anyway so where's the problem?

>>29626461
Yeah it could, but it's pangoro's signature move so I don't know how (hypothetically) GF would approach this

>Dog type
Weak to: Bug, Flying, Fire, Dog
Resistant to: Water, Cat, Ghost
Strong against: Cat, Dog, Fighting
Weak against: Rock, Dark
>Cat type
Weak to: Dog, Water, Grass, Poison
Resistant to: Dark, Flying, Psychic
Strong against: Fairy, Dragon
Weak against: Dog, Bug

>>29626488
There have been mons with a non-STAB signature move (Exeggutor, Genesect), and it's not like it particularly matters in this case.

>>29626471
It fucks over my bro Heliolisk. Besides, I prefer the way they have things now, with sound as a move property, so sound moves can be different types

>>29626437
Then just replace them with new Normal equivalents, like Power Beam or some shit.

>>29626525
I understand, but I suppose that if they do change those into sound type moves they'll probably add new Special Normal moves to replace them, so your bro could still have a STAB special move

>>29626497
Why is dog weak to dog? That makes no sense.

>>29626664

Honestly, the only ones I see working well are Sound and Cosmic.

Sound:
>Offensive 2x: Fighting, Rock, Ground, Ice, Dark
>Offensive 0.5x: Electric, Steel, Bug
>Defensive 2x: Electric, Steel
>Defensive 0.5: Rock, Ground

Cosmic:
>Offensive 2x: Normal
>Offensive 0.5x: Ground, Rock, Steel
>Defensive 2x: Fire, Ice, Rock
>Defensive 0.5: Normal, Fighting, Psychic

What do you guys think?

Demon type. Sort of like the opposite of Fairy, where Fairy types typically tend to be cutesy designs, Demon types would typically be edgier designs.
>Weak to
Psychic, Ice
>Resists
Dark, Ghost, Poison
>Super Effective
Fairy, Ghost
>Resisted by
Psychic, Ice, Dragon
Admittedly there's no particular reason why Ice is good against it aside from giving Ice a buff; it just seems like something that makes sense in my head.

Blood type.
Strong against: Dragon, Fairy, Dark, Ghost
Resists: Water, Grass, Fighting, Normal
Weak to: Psychic, Poison, Electric
Immune to: Ghost

Special Blood attacks typically absorb HP.
Physical Blood attacks deal tons of damage, but consume user's HP.

We are made Pokemon by the blood.

They should be taking types out, not adding more.
Ice and water could be only one type, so could ghost, dark, psychic and fairy (mystic?), ground and rock, flying and normal (flyind should be an ability of a certain kind of pokemon, not a type) etc.
We'd be down to 10 types, just the way God intended:
Fire
Electric
Water
Ground
Mystic
Normal
Bug
Dragon
Poison
Steel

>>29626711

I think the only type they could possibly do at this point and it making sense is an alien/cosmic type. Clefable and Deoxys would obviously fit. Maybe Starmie? But other than that i can't think of anything else that wouldn't just be pointless

>>29625924
I like your idea. Here's mine.

>Cosmic Type

Essentially an "Alien" or otherworldly type. Also based off of celestial bodies or space itself.

Strong Against: Fighting, Ground, Fire, Water, Flying, Cosmic
(Fighting because you can't punch space, and aliens are almost always depicted as being superior to brute force. Fire because Fire can't burn in space, and Flying and Water to sort of complete the elemental advantage. Cosmic because the universe is always at war with itself, planets crashing into eachother and throwing other planets off course, black holes, supernovas etc.)

Weak to: Ghost, Bug, and Dragon (Dragon and Ghost because these are Forces native to Earth that aliens have not encountered before. Bug because some aliens are known to be weak to viruses and illness, like in War of The Worlds, Also to give Bug a buff).

Resistant to: Fire, Ice, Fighting (Fire and Ice because Aliens are usually adapted to harsh climates. Fighting again because aliens have superior abilities to brute force)

Resisted by: Dragon (Because dragons are a powerful, threatening force of nature that aliens are not used to dealing with)

Gameplay wise, Cosmic type would have good defenses, good HP and mainly be focused on special attacks and status.

Some Pokemon that would be retyped to Cosmic are Deoxys (Cosmic/Psychic), Elgyem line (Cosmic/Psychic), Cleffa line (Fairy/Cosmic), and Lunatone and Solrock (Rock/Cosmic)

>>29626876
>flying and normal (flying should be an ability of a certain kind of pokemon, not a type)
I disagree. Flying should be more of a traditional "wind" type.
I also don't think Dark type belongs with the other three. Dark type has very little to do with the supernatural and more to do with fighting dirty. If it had to be merged with anything, If it had to be merged with anything, I'd say Fighting.

>>29625924

Digital type

Retcon Porygon and Rotom lines

typing strengths specifically designed to make SMOGON faggots kill themselves

4x weakness to bug

>>29626924
Broken.
>SE on way too many types
>Resisted only by Dragon, and even then most of them are neutral because of their secondary types

>>29626971
(You)

>>29626924
Strong against 6 types, and resisted by one. Nope.

Slime Type
It would probably alter or add to a lot of poison types in general, but it would basically be "amorphous, but not about to outright go through physical objects like a ghost". In my head the type match ups are kind of ambiguous, but I'm thinking it would probably be close to

Strong against flying.
Weak to fire, electric
Resistant to water, ground, fighting, fairy, ghost
Resisted by bug, fire, grass. Maybe ice too for pity's sake

Generally it would be a type for slow tanky fucks

I don't think there really need to be more types though. Fairy seems a bit too good at the moment to me, but I don't think there's pokemon that are hard to describe with current type or anything

>>29625924

time travel type

>>29626964
>If it had to be merged with anything, If it had to be merged with anything,

Slime/Psychic Reuniclus would be amazing

>>29626972
>>29626988
Alright, Take away water and flying strengths, and make it resisted by dragon, psychic, ghost and bug. Is that more balanced?

Food type

>Offensive 2x
Fighting (exercise causes hunger, it's hard to fight when overfed)
Psychic (food is irresistible)
Flying (hard to fly when you're fat)

>Offensive 0.5x
Poison (poison and food don't mix)
Rock (rocks don't eat food)
Ground (five second rule)
Steel (robots don't eat food)

>Defensive 2x
Poison (poison ruins food)
Water (water ruins food)
Ground (dropping food ruins it)
Normal (animals eat food)
Bug (bugs eat food)
Flying (birds eat food)

>Defensive 0.5x
Nothing (food is fragile and easily ruined)

>Defensive 0x
Ice (cold preserves fridge)

Now hear me out here. Negative type matchups. Pokemon getting healed by certain types of moves. It would give a new way to be an asshole by switching, and it's a way to heal allies in doubles.

>Offensive -1x
Normal (eating = healing)
Bug (eating = healing)
Flying (eating = healing)

>Defensive -1x
Fire (cooking makes it tastier)

And think of all of the Pokemon that could be changed to food types. Snorlax, Miltank, Seedot, Nuzleaf, Cherubi, Cherrim, Vanillite, Vanillish, Vanilluxe, Swirlix, Slurpuff,

I tried to understand the reasoning behind the typings of Pokémon and came up with different kinds of logic. I know that in japanese, many of these typings have different meanings, but this is what I came up with:

1.First, we have the obvious elemental ones;
> Water
> Fire
> Ground
> Rock
> Steel
> Electric
> Grass
> Ice

2. Then, we have those that seems to describe common RPG creatures:

> Dragon
> Ghost
> Fairy
> Bug
> Normal (meaning non-magical)
> Poison (seem more or less to describe mutants, aberrations etc.)

3. And last but not least, the ones that describe the human nature:
> Fighting (body)
> Psychic (mind)
> Dark (evil).

Following that logic, I'd say that adding any type to the first segment would just beat a dead horse. If you want new types, you should aim for Creatures or Human Nature. This is what I came up with:
> The obvious Light one (representing good and kindness etc.)

Strong against: Dark, ghost and dragon
Weak to: Dark, Psychic, Poison
Resistant to: Dragon, Ghost
Resisted by: Psychic, Poison

Focus on HP and Special Defense.
Pokémon that could have this typing: Absol, Togepi line, Butterfree line etc.

> Construct type (machines and generally Pokémon made by man, not necessarily made from steel)

Strong against: Rock, Psychic, Fighting
Weak to: Fairy, Bug, Water
Resistant to: Normal, Electric, Fighting
Resisted by: Fairy, Fire, Ice.

Pokémon: Magnemite, Gollurk, Yamask, Voltorb etc.

> And, finally, Outworld type (not just aliens, but beings that come from other plane of existence, like other dimensions and such).
As it is pretty much the cosmic type sugested by many people in this thread, I'll refrain from saying how it relates to other types.

What I learn from all this is that Gamefreak pretty much got everything covered up, guys. It was a pointless exercise. Good night.

>>29627036
I was kind of going on the assumption (without really thinking too hard on it) that most shapeless blob pokemon I could think of off the top of my head are kind of shitty with not much left to go but up, and a few more resistances to fairy and water might be nice, but in that particular case it would sort of turn that space fetus into a pain in the ass. Maybe add a bug weakness since that sort of seems like something that would eat "slime" in general

>>29627039
This is good. I can imagine Eevee getting a Wind type.

Poison

>takes double damage from

>takes half damage from

>takes no damage from

Fungus type moves would be a lot of status moves with a light smattering of special and physical attacks

Magic Gardevoir

As of now, the Fairy type is a fucking mess. None of the included Pokémon have any correlation to each other, and it seems to just being randomly slapped onto whichever Pokémon they can slap it onto. Cute, pink, fat, girly, magical, good, innocence, nature. Many different aspects where most have nothing to do with each other, which is extremely noticeable in the Pokémons' designs.

So in opposition to this, I would like a type that ACTUALLY specializes in what is good and divine. An opposite "Evil type". Not the "cute and innocent" kind, but the strong and powerful kind we see in many of today's RPGs. Think Mercy from Overwatch, to name a current example. And to mix this with an existing element that all on its own symbolizes what is good and divine in real life, I think calling it "Light type" would be completely justified.

Super Effective against:
>Poison, Ghost, Dark

Not Very Effective against:
>Grass, Ice, Steel

Resistant to:
>Fire, Electric, Psychic, Dark, Fairy

Weak to:
>Poison, Dragon (just to give it a buff)

>>29627458
>Mushrooms
>Weak to Poison
Why?

>>29627514
>dragon needing a buff
>implying fairies from myth aren't even more random and ridiculous

Pokemon's fairies are 'cute things that kick ass' essentially.

>>29627223

0. default
-Normal

1. Elements/ Energy manipulation
-Ice (cold/freezing temperature)
-Water (good medium, conductor, storing energy)
-Electric (electricity, magnetism)
-Fire (heat, high temperature)

2. special abilities/skills/techniques
-Fighting (strength, martial arts)
-Psychic (telekinesis/ESP)
-Dark (sneaky/unfair/dirty tactics)
-Poison (making the enemy vulnerable)
-Flying (ability of flight)
-Ground (using firm ground aka digging/burying/quakes..)

3. creature/species/the organism itself or covered in "armor" relating to the concept
-Bug (insectoid creature)
-Grass (plants)
-Rock (mineral-based lifeforms)
-Fairy (magical creatures)
-Ghost (ghastly/shadow-y creatures)
-Dragon (hair. jk)
-Steel (artificial/metal armor/alloy-based lifeforms)

Only thing I can see to add in the first category is something like >>29627039, or possibly something even more "air"-like, to have all states of matter covered (solid=ice, liquid=water, gas=wind?, plasma=fire/electric)

while something like sound would be in second category

I don't think we need more in the third, but if I had to pick one, it'd probably be something to take all the space/alien-related creatures (change lots of Psy types to it) and go with "cosmic" for that

>>29627543
>Pokemon's fairies are 'cute things that kick ass' essentially.
No, they're "cute or pink or girly or badass or regal or basically fucking anything" where only a few kicks ass.

Gem Type
>Staryu
>Starmie
>Mega Steelix
>Suicune
>Sableye
>Spoink
>Grumpig
>Clamperl
>Jirachi
>Dialga
>Roggenrola
>Boldore
>Gigalith
>Carbink
>Diancie

Not really sure what the type matchup should be, but I know Carbink, Diancie and especially Mega Diancie shouldn't be weak to Grass and Water.

>>29625924
Not balanced. At all. Ghost and Dark don't need more weaknesses.

>>29626181
All of those exist as subsets to existing types. Mystic = psychic or fairy, light = fairy or electric you mean literal light, sound = special normal moves, cosmic = psychic.

>>29626257
At least you did okay balancing but the idea of space is lame since it exists as part of psychic.

>>29626711
Holy fuck your shitty sound type is unbalanced as all hell. Never post again.

No. stop being an edge lord.

Might be a bit similar to Steel, but okay.

>Artificial type:
For man made pokemon and mimics
>Strong against:
Grass, Rock, Ground (Pollution and ruining the environment)
>Weak against:
Fire, Water, Steel (Ways to refine something to its purest state, washing, burning and scraping)
>Resistant to:
Grass, Ground, Flying, Fighting (Similar reasons for pollution and you can't really punch the fakeness out of something)
>Resisted by:
Steel, Fire, Bug, (Same for reasons above and because bugs usually survive massive disasters like nuclear bombs and meteor strikes)

It'd be physical a special atk/ special def oriented type,

Magnemite (Art/Elec), Mewtwo (Art/Psy) and Muk(Art/Poison) woulbe retyped.

>>29627530
fungicide

>>29626924
The reason I stopped wanting a Cosmic type is because imagine for a second they make a space faring region/generation and everything was at least one type, possibly a handful of rock and ice without much else. Boring as all hell right? Consider that the type is a reflection of how they a t t a c k. Summoning meteors would be interesting but what else is there? Auroras? Comets? It all becomes pretty bland after a while as cool as it sounds. I believe they are not tempted to insert the Cosmic type for those reasons and because they will in that far off gen reveal that Pokemon are in fact from space, a la panspermia, and that types are an adaptation only Pokemon and Ultra Beasts (alien overlords or w/e) possess.

Sound however is a reason method of attacking on Earth and on atmosphere bearing planets and moons, with a notable absence in actual space. Psychic has been reskinned as Cosmic which I'm more or less okay with. A lot of psychic and normal mons are sound types.

It includes a lot of interesting physics which I'm sure you could appreciate like Resonance, a Sound move that always hits Steel for, at least, x2 SE damage regardless of secondary type. Sonoluminence morphed into an attack could be an accuracy lowering priority attack w/ or w/o damage. Bass Blast, a Fire extinguishing move that deals damage and lowers attack, defense, and speed 1 stage while targeting Fire types Tremors and the lot are included. Interesting moves really, Earth-based and already practical to implement.

>>29626428
>>29625924
I really like the idea of a sound type so here's a list I compiled a while back

Igglybuff Sound/Fairy

Mismagius Ghost/Sound

Whismur Sound
Loudred Sound

Audino Normal/Sound
Mega Audino Sound/Fairy

Maractus Grass/Sound

Meloetta (Aria form) Sound/Psychic
Meloetta (pirouette) Sound/Fighting

Litleo Fire/Sound
Pyroar Fire/Sound

Noibat Sound/Dragon
Noivern Sound/Dragon

* = maybe

>>29629342
I'd loved the idea of a sound type and had nearly the same list of possible pokemons. But some anon said something clever about it. If you change types of all sound based moves, there will be no more Normal special moves.

>>29629443
That's true. But if they introduce a new type it would be in a new generation meaning there would be brand new moves introduced. They could easily just make new special attacking normal type moves. Plus some moves like tru attack would still be normal.

Ice/snow insulates sound well. Ice is like amorphous glass, and yes glass breaks from sound. However this is not a crystalline lattice, shit on Rock if you HAVE to but not Ice. Pull that punch, my friend.

Steel however needs a Nerf, like always it has been an OP type for a while and resonance and other forms of conduction, like Electric, are what Steel should be weak too.

I say that Ice should get a Sound immunity and Psychic as well. Possibly even Bug or Grass. Sound is a special attackers type, largely. So this is a good chance to balance out more than one type again.

Nerfing fairies would be nice since they are weak to the "modern/industrial" type and lore wise avoid noisy areas and seek refuge away from cities, deep in forests and caves.

Psychic types should get immunity because it is a rehashed Cosmic type and some focus on mediation and absolute concentration.

Grass have been suggested to grow with sound and Bug, given access to plenty of sound moves hopefully, would utilize sound more than most and are characteristically impossibly loud for their size would at least merit a resistance

Dark types should become susceptible to them, following the logic of a guilty conscious or whatever sneakiness they possess being foiled.

Starting with Jigglypuff and ending in Noivern, the Sound type theory is a favorite of mine and could bring a reshape type chart that works. A lot would resist it, but it would also make a great attacking type alongside the likes of Rock, Ice and Electric Sp. sweeper builds
