new types in the next gen?

i've looked for ages but i cant find a thread about this, if there is and i've missed it i'm sorry


but basicly, do you think that there should be any new types in the next generation? and if you do, what should they be, who should they be effective against and whats effective against them

two ideas i had were

holy-super effective against, normal, dark, ghost, fighting.
weak against- psychic, holy, dragon.

wild/savage-super effective against- grass, bug, rock, fighting, normal (not sure about normal)
weak against-psychic, dark, fighting, steel, electric.

any thoughts/ideas? :)
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

i don't really think there will be new types.

holy is sort of like ghost type though. and wild/savage doesn't describe a type because all types of pokemon can be wild.

I like the topic though, I just hope there's definitely going to be a Gen V.
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

yeah, i spose the types at the moment all fit in pretty well together, but i'd like to see psychic made more powerful again

well i kinda imagined holy would be like, bright and white and stuff, like a combination of psychic and ghost, cause ghosts are made to seem menacing while holy could be made to seem good.

and with wild i thought it could be like, a different slant on the fighting type, like all brutal and viscous.

and yeah a gen 5 would be amazing, i wonder whether there will be a new games console by then
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

i could see that (holy), i might call it something different, but maybe an opposite of dark type.
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

maybe light? though that would be a bit of a cliche :/
i thought it would have been cool if they'd done somthing like making acreus the only holy type pokemon, like the dragonite line was the only dragon types in gen 1

i was tryna think about like the types before, and i dunno how they came up with them :p i mean poison? whod have thought that would make a pokemon type lol
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

Uh, "Poison" isn't a terribly uncommon element type in RPGs.
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

Why would they suddenly start making new types again? We have enough of them now as it is.

I suppose I could get on board with a Light-/Holy-type, though, no matter how overused the idea may be.
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

There's over 250 type combos they haven't done yet, so there's no way in hell they'll create new types.

They only introduced 2 new types because it was horribly unbalanced in favor of Psychic types. Now that it's more "balanced" (kinda...) There's really no need for new types.
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

No need for new types. Didn't know there were so many combos that haven't been used. Could be interesting in gen V. Grasss/Fire, Water/Fire, Dragon/Fire. Basically, more Fire-types.
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

i suppose you are right, they dont need anymore really, i just think the idea of more types would be quite cool :)

yeah, i thought like a firefighter pokemon, water/fire

and a pseudo legendary dragon/ice :D
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

Water/Fire

Totally opposite, can't see it. I know we had water/electric, but electric eels are basically that, sort off, but grass gets burned by fire, They would need to invent a move that is fire that won't have a chance of burning the user as fire hurts rass pokemon.

If there is good importance on firey areas in new region, I might see new fire types coming, otherwise, hardly any will com IMO.

I honestly can see a water/fire Pokemon based on the ventfish, a fish that lives (unsurprisingly) near underwater volcanic vents.
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

New Types....NO, just no...

New type combos...maybe
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

I want to see a Fighting/Flying type. Fighting
is the only type that hasn't been paired with Flying, dont'cha know.

I was surprised when ground got paired with flying with gligar/gliscor as ground sky are basically opposites and ground can't fly. Also, what about Ghost/flying, has that been done? We have ghost with levitate, but not sure if any actually flying types.

If they had power of starraptor and used it as part flying/fighting, now that would be a great pokemon IMO. Should have been that flying fighting was starraptor, its close combat is great afterall. We would need a few new fighting moves desifgned for flying types this way.

Maybe "Talon Kick" or "Wing Punch" etc...
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

There is two flying Ghost, Drifloon and Drifblim remember.

A flying/fighting pokemon could work, like an eagle or a hawk, even though many bird pokemon are based on them. You came up with some move-ideas, I'd like to see them in a game.

A STABed Close Combat from Starraptor would have been nice. Starraptor is the pokemon that fits best with the Flying/Fighting right now, but changing types would have been stupid anyway.

Where do you get 250? There's only 65 not counting reverse typing.
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

What about 'Magic'? Weak to Ghost, Psychic, Electric and Steel.

Moses' burning bush says hi. XD

No, but seriously, there are types of vegetation that won't bloom/reproduce unless they're exposed to fire. A few species of flowers in Hawaii and some forests in California are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

More Fire-types, definitely! :-( They've always been so screwed, with either type combos that accentuate their weaknesses, horrible stats, or really crappy movepools. I would love to see Fire/Psychic, Fire/Ghost, Dragon/Fire, Fire/Electric....
 
Re: new types in the next gen?

Hopefully a pure flying Eeveelution.
