Should there be new types in future Pokemon games?

I think there should be a few new types mabye like Light, Alien, Wind, etc.

What do you guys think, should there be more types.

Light is a rip off of dark, Alien just makes more sense as a description (eg. Pikachu the electric mouse pokemon), and wind is essentially flying type. No extra types really are needed, I don't see what their purpose would be. Steel and Dark had a reason. Psychic types were overpowered in 1st gen competitive (which I didn't play, but I know from reviewing the trends in first gen play). Mewtwo could sweep a whole team if it was unprepared, and Alakazam was nearly as good. Dark was needed to balance out these overpower psychics. Steel was also needed to give some type resistance to dragon. Without steel today's metagame would need to ban salamence, and probably dragonite, Kingdra and flygon too. All of those would easily knock out 3 pokemon with choice outrage, at the small cost of confusion (big whoop, just swap in a sacrifice, and continue sweeping). That make for a too centered metagame, which is exactly the opposite of what clauses try to do. No new types are needed now though, I really don't see a point for them.Hegna1

light = most stuff related to light are plant/bug/psychic already. BrunoBRS

True. However, if light were added, it could help set the theme for the next generation of Pokemon. It could be something like Shadow and Shine.

IMO, what they need is attacks with 2 different types. that would add a LOT of new depth and change all strategies. an example? the elemental punches.BrunoBRS

That would be interesting. I agree with the elemental punches thing.

Maybe. Maybe wind should be good against Rock and weak against fire. I think that's an idea that might work. hydralisk86

Umm, not really...because would wind blow boulders away? unless it was a hurricane / tornado, and flying types are too related to wind would be anyways, and why weak against fire? i would see it as maybe weak against psychic, but I see clearly no need for any new types of Pokemon, that would add too much to think about and they're plenty already, personally, we dont need that at all

Ohh, yeah, sorry, I was thinking the oposite way, yeah, you're right about the fire

Shadow, Shine, Fail. A light type idea is poppycock. What we need to do is to give some attention to some neglected types like my favorite type poison which hasn't got a legendary pokemon yet. Deoxys could had easily have been a poison type, but no they made another light typ... I mean psychic type legendary like we haven't seen one of those before.

That make for a too centered metagameHegna1

They really have made enough types and pokemon. You can see on some of the new pokemons that Gamefreak are starting to go out of ideas.

I can't tell yet because they haven't made a poison/dragon type yet.

And I dont think combinied type attacks will be a good idea. It will just be buzz.

But isn't Tri Attack the combination of Electric, Fire, and Water or something like that? and that would mean they already started some combination with Doduo and Dodrio, although they never continued making attacks like that, I think it was a good idea that they stopped with those attacks, but in the next game I would like to see some new attacks, the same ones are getting boring, but atleast they could keep the same attacks but make them look different when they hit the opponent, that would be cool

NO MORE TYPES!!!! :x
What I do want to see is a pokemon with a Fire-Electric combination ;)

Wow, that actually might be a good idea, nice thinking! =D

Tri attack is a normal type attack, but has a change of burning, paralazing or freezing.

ya, so, it KINDA mixes

They need a digital type pokemon. They could call them Digipokemon. >_> Missingno and the Porygons would all be good candidates. Porygon used Digital Blizzard! :PZumaJones07

Ya...but digital is just kind of a rip-off of electric and steel and if it was called "DigiPokemon" then it's too close to Digimon, it's like stealing their idea so not DigiPokemon

I think there are too many types of pokemon. Few more are going to cause confusion to many people.

I, also, think steel type should change into metal type because, for example, the type is STEEL and the move is IRON tail or METAL claw. I suggest steel renaming into METAL and all IRON moves into METAL moves...:lol::P

Yeah, but Steel, Iron, and Metal are all related so it doesn't really matter, maybe they can make an attack possibly called Steel Strength or something to represent it more, but I think they chose Metal Claw instead of Steel Claw and Iron Tail instead of Steel Tail because it sounds better and why would they want the attacks to sound weird when they can just change Steel to a related word, like Irol, Metal, etc. To them it makes more sense, and apparently to me it makes more sense too =P

alien = nonsense light = most stuff related to light are plant/bug/psychic already. wind = flying.BrunoBRS

They have ghost and bug so why not alien.

Why does everyone think psychic and light are the same thing,? And how the hell can a bugrelate to light, bugs are little creatures and light is something completely different.

Wind and Flying are not exactly the same thing.

Lolz, I think people are confusing

"Bugs are Light" with "Some Bugs are attracted to Light"

lolz

Well alien sounds cool but what I really want to see are different combination of types, even more than the current gen such as, say, Fire/Dragon, Ghost-Grass or Steel-Water can you imagine, it'd be awesome :DSim_genius

I agree with this. They already have a Water/Steel.

Combination types I really want to see are:

Ghost/Normal, Fire/Water, Fire/Grass, Poison/Steel, Electic/Ground, Ice/Dragon, and Rock/Ghost.

Here is all types:

I don't think we should have more types this is enough

Why no alien? What would alien be weak to or strong to? We already have many pokemon from outerspace and they tend to be psychic typed for example, Metagross, Solrock and Lunatone. I see no point in changing there psychic type to alien type. It sounds to me that the alien type is an excuse to make an overpowered type.

I think the alien type is something like the dragon type. For example, charizard is a dragon but his type is fire. I agree with the alien type because there is already a nonsense type, the dragon type. It could be strong against itself, like dragon, and weak against itself and fire...More types with more strengths and weaknesses, I think, will unbalance the game...It's my opinion...

Yeah, I think it sould be a ghost/normal combination to protect the pokemon from Ghost, Normal & fight type moves...Great idea
