Agro Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 [quote name='Armadilloz' timestamp='1357787084' post='6116898'] So its safe to say Yvelta will be either a Blood or Plasma Pokemon, in terms of species. ... Right? [/quote]NEW TYPE "PLASMA" LIKE I MADE UP IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. It's the same as Fire except it's immune to Fire, normal against water, and weak against ice. So new guesses: Xerneas: Electric Yveltal: Fire Also, putting my bet that Z is based on the heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad enough we had 2 sets of dragons in a row. Couldn't tell you their types (though safe to say Yveltal's part Flying), but I'm hoping it's different than we're used to. And if the legendary/germ layer stuff is true, then that's really cool. They got creative with this gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffee. Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Would be pretty neat Yveltal was half Water. Though, it might be a little bland and be half Dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think Light is like the only one they could add that's left. I mean like seriously.

Fusion X. Denver Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Light [i]would[/i] be cool, though I'm trying to wrap my head around how the mechanics would work. Light and Dark super effective against each other. Either super effective or not very effective against Ghost. Super effective against Bug maybe. And uh ... I think I know why they never added it.

Toffee. Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 To be fair, Dark-Type is just bizarro Normal. No, really, its practically the exact same thing, but with the ability to hit Ghost-Types.

Ideas: Light Attacking: Ineffective against Dark (x0) Then Light would be super effective against Light (x2) Not very effective against Steel (x0.5) Ineffective against Psychic because Gen I (x0) Super effective against Ghost. (x2) Against: Dark is ineffective against Light. (x0) Fight is ineffective against Light. (x0) Light is super effective against Light (x2) Bug and Poison are not very effective against Light.

Mr.WHAM Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I would think that if Light became a type then it would be Super Effective against Steel think lasers.

Mr.WHAM Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I respect your opinion Agro. I just don't think the game needs another Pseudo Type. At all. I already call Psychic Ghost and Dark the Necromancers. Normal also seems to have the Light thing covered IMO due things like Arceus Judgment Hyper Beam Swords Dance etc. I like the idea of light types as the Laser Pokemon.

Mr.WHAM Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 But Light also opens up the possibility of Chaos. And we don't need Chaos Dragons in Pokemon too. It fills a niche very nicely true but it seems a bit unneeded. They have plenty of other things to focus on like evolution, balancing and new moves etc etc. It'd be cool yes but a bit cliche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is also the issue that Light and Dark under my idea has no weaknesses unless I were to make Dark super effective to Light and Light super effective to Dark.

Merci Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 The type [i]Dark[/i] doesn't correspond to the traditional views of 'Light vs Darkness'. In Pokemon, the Dark type should actually be read as [i]'evil'[/i] and not shadows-blackiness-darkness, therefore if they ever introduce a Light type, it shouldn't be related to Dark at all. Personally, I'd rather they keep that cliche Light type out of my beloved games. They're doing well enough as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloister Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Don't think they're adding any type, but I wouldn't be suprised if they troll us with Level 200 instead of 100 or something. Would be kinda cool, but also, not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master of Sabers Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Good lord. Think of how long it would take to level yourself up to two hundred... And just think of how borked the comp would be with that... Jeeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazubat Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Never gonna happen. It would screw up people who came from the last game with all their pokemans, so highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A number of Pokemon that can be retconned or evolve into sound-types, the sound based moves wouldn't exactly be hurting from it, especially Metal Sound and Soundproof is pretty dumb right now. It should also be powerful and weak against Normal because that would be funny. And strong against fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cin Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 That and it's not unknown for the them to adjust Pokemon for a new type like Magnemite. Thing is they haven't added a new type since Gen II when they added Dark (which Bite was moved to) and Steel. Oh well off to look for a used 3Ds today.
