Light has been thought about as a new type back in the G/S/C days but many people think it's a stupid idea 'cause they already have psychic. :/

But.... I thought about it too when I was about 11 creating my fake Pokemon so... meh...

To stay on subject I thought about the "love" type.

 

[ShiningScizor]

Hmm...a love type eh...guess tha would be cool too

 

[Eerie Fuwante]

But if Psychic is light,then why psychic is unnefective against Dark?Thats why I think the real Light type is FIGHTING,since its strong against dark types.Have you ever heard the saying: The Might is Right?

About new types,LOVE?Thats the most c**piest idea ever.So is magic and Sound type pokemon.And Wind also.Any "new" types are quite n00bish ideas...

 

[ijea4444]

I think that if love was a type attract charm etc would be in that group

 

[killerjaw01]

what about cloud/smoke pokemon? Like poison/dark except they will be gaseous

 

[Metal Force]

Ummm..... Wood type!! (it pwns water/electric/ground types & fire/steel/flying pwns them) it can have moves such wood blast & woody punch & some grass moves.

I think there should be a mafia type.
Rhydon, Lizardon, Donmel, Utsudon, Yadon, Donphan and Groudon would all benefit from it. They'd also be more effective when used against a pokémon with Thief.

The only addition they should put is Sound; it applies to Whismur, Loudred, Exploud, maybe Slakoth, Vigoroth, and maybe even Slaking. Any moves that aqquire sound, aka, Growl and Uproar, need a type of their own, so it wont be a minor setback as a Normal attack when going up against a Rock or Steel type.

Anything else, like the Light and Gas ideas, will fit into the appropriate types of Normal and Poison, in my opinion.

To all those people who say Light=Psychic, think before posting.
The only Psychic Pokémon who I would consider "Light" would be Espeon. And that is only because it is the opposite of Umbreon.
There are more evil Psychic Pokémon then good Psychic Pokémon:

1. Mewtwo. It destroyed a whole science lab on his own and probably killed many humans while doing it. But although that, I don't really think that Mewtwo is evil.
It was experimented on untill he became horifically mutated and psycological scarred until the day it had enough and wanted to escape. Then it escaped deep into a hidden cave to avoid all contact with humans. How evil.
And it's pink. How can pink be evil?
Anyway, I wouldn't call it "Light" in any way.
2. Lugia. As Ho-oh represents the sun and the day, Lugia represents the moon and night. And as we all know, the night is evil while the day is good.
3. Deoxys. I also don't consider this one evil as well, because it is just like Mewtwo. It didn't do anything evil and it fled away from all humans.
4. Alakazam. Finally the real evil Psychic Pokémon. This one had many rebels against it, because it looks like it worships Satan. That can't be "Light".
5. Drowzee/Hypno. They eat by putting it's prey to sleep and then eating it's dream and gives you nightmares in return. It's also listed in the Pokédex that a Hypno once took away a human girl whom he hypnotized.
6. Giraffarig. Giraffarig itself isn't evil, but it's tail is.
7. Wobbuffet. Just look at it's tail. Just like Giraffarig, it's tail is evil. And also look at it's ability: Shadow Tag. How can prefenting the opponent to escape using it's shadow be considered light?

Psychic Pokémon are far from Light. Most Psychic Pokémon are just animals and as we all know, animals aren't good or evil.
And just look at the attacks. How can you asume that using your mind as weapon is the same as using light as a weapon? Anoth great example here is Hypnosis. Hypnosis puts the enemy to sleep. I don't know if you've ever tried to sleep during the day, but it's much easier when it's night and dark. And sleeping also isn't light, as in good. Sleep and death are often assosiated with eachother. In the Greek mythology, Hypnos (Sleep) and Thanatos (Death) are eachother's brothers. They thought that Sleep was just a temporary form of Death.

That is also partly why I think there should be a real Light type.

How can Lugia be evil? It is supposed to calm the 3 legendary birds. And just because it represents night does not mean it is evil, it is just misunderstood.

A sound type would be good (as mentioned by others).

Hmm, Create your own anything thread, I'm guessing you could create your own types!1!1 It's not there just for kicks.
As for the topic on hand, Light is really the only type I would like to see, and maybe Glass

 

[Mew King]

I guess a couple of types that I created were Time (attacks that would let the Pokémon attack more than once or stop time for the opponent) and Radiation (a slightly better form of Poison but with more focus on power instead of poisoning).

 

[Dramatic Melody]

Maybe a virus type?

My other suggestions (Sound and Light) were already said and I want some of them too

 

[Blaze Dragon]

Light is a good idea, and maybe Laser could be a type (Advantage over Dark, Ghost and Disadvantage over Steel and Rock)

 

[Bling Slaking]

Wood as a type I think would be silly but Wooden Punch sounds like a neat Grass type attack. Grass equivelant to Fire Punch, etc.

If you want a new type, how about Virtual? Porygon and Porygon2 are the most obvious candidates, as Normal doesn't suit them. Perhaps make a few more, making Virtual a.. rare type.. like Ghost.

 

[Magma Grunt Alex]

I would also like to see a light type!

 

[ArrEmmDee]

Light is ridiculous.
It's assumed by default that all Pokémon have an essence of goodness to them, Dark types just mean they have some sort of affiliation with dark magic or the occult or more sinister powers by their very nature... not even that, just a sort of power they find themselves able to wield, it doesn't mean they're necessarily evil at all, in such cases. And that'd basically make a heck of a lot of Pokémon that aren't Dark Light-types, so there'd not be a single monotype.


I don't think any more types are needed-- and a lot of people I talk to think Steel and Dark pushed it to the limit already anyways.

 

[ShiningScizor]

Hmm...wood eh...nice...
I also like the smoke idea too
*thinks*
How about a mecha (mechanical type)

Mecha is already considered as Metal type. Well, there should be Machine type, but it shares same weakness and resistance. So, it wouldn't work.

I like the idea of Light type as it is opposite to Dark type.
