I know that the Vanillite gets a lot of flack for looking like ice cream, but I like the fact that its lore states that ice cream cones were made to look like Vanillite, rather than a pokemon randomly looking like food.

Everything stays.
I've always liked these Pokémon, but I understand why the fans complained. And that lore is awesome, too.
Though they seem to have understood that food Pokémon should be based on food and not exactly like food. I really love what they did with Swirlix and Slurpuff.

I want cosmic type pokemon. Long overdue, what with whole undiscovered pokemon out there in space (Staryu, Starmi, Jirachi, Solrock, Lunatone, Deoxys). Surely they're not ALL psychic type
Personally I'd like a Fairy/Water type based on those drinking bird toys: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Sipping_Bird.jpg
I swear I saw a fakemon on deviantart based on that once and it looked really cool....or maybe I just imagined it.
We already have that: Porygon2
I mean, it's not really based on them, but in the 3D games its animation was the same as those drinking birds.

Why? They all use their mind as a tool and manipulate the world around them with telekinetic power. How do they not fit into the Psychic-Type?

I think he's saying that making a Cosmic typing would fit them better than Psychic.

There is no need for a new type. The type chart is pretty much balanced now that Fairy is introduced. Adding a new type would unbalance it again. Anyway, I like to see some gen 7 pokemon that evolves by day and night as a way of representing Sun and Moon. They would be version exclusives of course.
I'm all in for lots of new fairies!
There are just so many concepts they could use IMHO.
An imp or ogre would be my dream! Make it a Dark/Fairy and I'm sold!
I dunno about an ogre pokemon. It's just that when I think of fairies, I don't think of ogres since they seem more like monsters than benevolent beings. An imp pokemon sounds decent however cuz at least imps are small creatures with trickster tendencies.
Meh, Psychic kind of covers what they are. Frankly, I don't expect nor want a new type of Pokemon in S&M. Just give me more Poison-types, like some kind of venomous iguana mon.

A new type would still be a good new feature for the games, regardless that the type chart is "balanced" (which is somewhat subjective).
With that said, I doubt there'd be a Cosmic type this gen, as if there were one it probably would've been given to Solgaleo and Lunala.

They did specifically say that there's no way they're all Psychic-Types, inferring that they shouldn't be Psychic at all.

Can we please get the older, old forum back?
If there was going to be a "Cosmic"-type, then Solgaleo and Lunala would have it, as opposed to Psychic. Shot down.
Have you seen base-Vanillite? I mean without the icecream? Yeah, that appears because it's so cold.

Swirlix and Slurpuff were honestly about as subtle as Vanillite, all three have characteristics of food, but also draw from different things (Vanillite's an icicle, Swirlix takes some cues from dogs). I wouldn't say that they 'learned their lesson' from Vanillite when there's another food Pokémon line introduced the generation after.

The one thing I'd REALLY like to see this gen is our proper gorilla Pokemon, called Jungorilla. It would be Fighting/Ground and could, like Marowak, have a Bananarang (instead of a Bonemarang) although the name may have to be changed as Bananarang is copyrighted by Ape Escape 2. I think this is more likely this gen as there are jungles in the map of Alola.

grass/ground and you've got me sold! They could make a banana club move and a bananarang, which would be the grass counterparts to the ground bone moves.

Gives 'em the slip..
Don't forget Audino with its ear fetish. I know OG Audino isn't a Fairy type, but it still has issues even after Mega Evolving into Normal/Fairy. Now all we need is something with big eyes for sight. Hmmmmm....
I would kill a hundred Slowpokes for another Grass/Poison Pokémon that looks like pou. Bring on the food group Pokémon.

Wanted to say this, because I saw a rumor video and have heard some whispers. Please, we do NOT need just about every Pokemon to have a Mega Evolution. I haven't even checked for other Gens, but just off Gen 1 alone, on top of the 46 Pokemon that have Mega Evolutions (48 stones counting the doubles for Charizard and Mewtwo), that would add in another 60 Mega Stones for people to hunt. 60!. That isn't even factoring in if they decided to give more Pokemon double Mega Evolutions. Do you all really want to go search Alola for 108+ Mega Stones?

Providing they're not version exclusive, sure. I love a good collectathon.
