Bug type is generally useful though. Fire isn't much of a trouble and bug is a good counter to the powerful types and defensively resistant to the common offense types (ground and fighting).

I'm trying to think about another type they could add, but besides Light, I can't think of one...
Im actually pretty okay with this. But I would definitely go grass in this situation
And my record is:
Squirtle
Totodile
Treecko
Piplup
Tepig (hard choice, didn't really care to much for any honestly, Might go Osha in B/W2)
Im really a water guy and surprisingly no mudkipz
I might go grass in this case too...
Best shit ever, Im Froakie all the way in this situation
Ehhhh Im not feeling the water version of Emboar....
Aren't all pokemon bacon type by default?

I think the biggest reason new types are unlikely is that the new gen 2 types were mostly added cause psychic was way out of balance, correct?
I think a new type is also mostly useful when it actually genuinly opens up new design possibilities for pokemon that essentially weren't viable before. I don't think there's many types that could really fit that spot.
"light" is a bit too nondescriptive and lingers somewhere between normal and psychic at best. Sound is already largely represented (we have quite a number of sound-based and themed pokemon actually.)
I'm having a hard time thinking ofany sort of new type that'd really make sense in this light.

Tepig and Grumpigs are, for sure.

...could.
Probably change Trubbish/Garbador...right?
or am I misunderstanding how these Pokemon became Pokemon?
Lol.
New ability: Fallout.
Like sandstorm but more glowy.
Doesn't affect steel or ghost.
Personally I wouldn't mind seeing the return of the shadow type though. Also Orre. I wan't to go back to Orre.

They could add Jelly type.

All I want is another game in the same vein.
That could work aswell...Every Pokemon would have to be retyped at this rate.
Neither should affect Rock or Ground, Radiocativity Heat would instantly destroy steel though, but only in case of a bomb(fission, fusion) or something.

Bug would be super effective against Radioactive (;
Problem is a lot of new types can be conveyed with current type combinations, or things like Fossil really don't convey anything unique until give a type.
Light works, but it would feel forced. Anything else would fit pokemon that have already been typecasted into certain categories.
Anything I can think of ends up being better conveyed by two types, then adding unique ability or signature move.
Ya, Radioactive is the only type I can think of that could be neatly fit into existing strengths/weaknesses

There are too many types as it is. Did ground and rock really need to be separate? They should have been called Earth type.
They don't need to add types. They can just change the type chart to balance things. Poison should be super effective against water. Steel should be renamed metal so Electric is super effective against it. Dragon should definitely get another weakness, maye Psychic because that type was over nerfed. Fire should maybe resist Dragon for balance. Ice should definitely resist Flying.
If I had the chart in front of me I could have done it more seriously. The type chart desperately needs balancing. Dragons are overpowered, when they were created only Dragobite existed, now there are tons of them.

This has always confused the hell out of me. I still don't know what their weaknesses/strengths are.
Me neither, and I have sunk hundreds and hundreds of hours into the DS games.

Glass would be super-effective on flying too, for the bird that smashed its head into my window this morning.
Anything that doesn't have a resistance to it immediately evolves into a Grimer/Muk/Garbodor/Numemon?
Maybe a Virtual type(like ghost but scientific)weak to bug/fighting/water/fire/ground/rock resistant to ice/psychic, immune to poison and ghost, effective against dark/flying/electric
or Ancient(mythology type which would be created to counter to counter Dragon type)
weak to Fire/Ice/Ground/Rock Resistant to Psychic/Dark/Ghost/Dragon Effective against Dragon/Poison/Grass/Fighting
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Vacation magical vacation has some interest types like ancient and love

Glass is sand heated technically so it would be considered ground.
Going back to music I really hope all the music is like this song.

Some types need balancing, like Dark (needs more weakness), Bug (needs to be SE towards Ground and Fighting instead of just defensively NVE) and Poison (needs to be buffed).
However it's generally balanced. Dragon only resists the "starter" types, is resisted by Steel, and can easily be taken down by an Ice attack (Ice Beam kills Dragonites, Salamences, and Garchomps).
Ground and Rock are different enough to be distinguished. Ground is essentially the earth, whereas Rock are rocks that can be sling or moved. Ground is a good offensive type that affects many popular types whereas Rock is a more specialized type. Notice how a Bug would burrow/crush the ground but be easily squashed by a rock?
Playing too much Pokemon made me somehow feel attuned to them
It's the dual type that causes confusion.

Eh, nah on the steel < electric thing.
And nerf Fighting type, why don't you (getting rid of rock). Don't know how Earth would play out against flying - Ground can't touch it, rock is super-effective...

What about a Wood type?
DUH DUH DUUUUUHHH.
DUH DUH DUUUUUHHH.
I thought that. But Grass is too close. It's like having...Iron as well as Steel.
I think the classification Grass in the world of pkmn is a man made classification in which they groups together pkmns which has common weakness and resistance :C that's why we see in the bugs type things like arachnid, crustaceans, etc as well with grass there are algae and fungi which are not plants :C.

I say cosmic type.
I actually agree with this a lot but didn't have a good name for it, I was think quantum or something but...

What I was trying to think of earlier. Thank you very much kind madam/sir.
Same. I was thinking Star, but that seemed stupid, and wrong.
Antiwhippy
the holder of the trombone
I'd say alien type.
The story is about pokemon from outer space invading the region.

Bacteria has evolved, Bacteria has learned resistance... FUCK
PKRS should also get a detrimental counter part
Music love? Then I pick the anime version of the Aboned ship from RSE.

Oh right.
Poison isn't SE against Water because water washes away pollutants. It is the ultimate cleanser. If anything Poison should be SE against Water
Steel only conducts electricity but not necessarily be totally electrified by it.
Psychic already damages Fighting. But it needs more SE. Dragon doesn't make sense. And why would Fire resist Dragon?
Flying is already in trouble as it is so it doesn't need any more types that resist it. It's already weak to Ice.
Fighting is SE to any "hardness" types (Rock/Ice/Steel) because... hey, fighting. Ground doesn't work on Flying because it's grounded, but Rock does because it can be sling. You can't sling soil but you can with rocks.
Grass
