Okay, so Ash recently caught a Gible, marking his first Dragon-Type Pokemon. But what of the other types? Ash has yet to capture a Dark-Type, Psychic-Type, or a Steel-Type Pokemon. Will Ash ever capture a Pokemon of these Types?
 
Oh the capture of Gible starts off a new fad.

There isn't much need for a Steel-type as Pikachu covers that with his tail sadly, but wonderfully.

Dark-types, I don't know. Only thing he can get is a species that is actually said to be good in their dexes, and of course that belongs to next gen/ has a next gen evo as other gens are out of discussion. No, anime did told us they are actually good just misunderstood(except for Spiritomb and maybe Cacturen though only ones we saw I can remmeber was Harley's) and both Drew and Gary, while being antagonistic rivals, were not villains at all and had Dark-types(Absol and Umbreon).

Psychic-type? The Psychic-types main characters owned never shown to be very useful and I don't think Ash is ready to handle such thing yet. Noctowl did knew Psychic-type moves but barely used them and lost its personality after its capture.
 
Stuff like Steel, Rock, Dark? Not taking the individual pokemon into account, most of these remaining types aren't really associated with anything we haven't seen Ash deal with before. Same goes for Gible's Dragon type, quite frankly. Only ones I'd really care about seeing him get to grips with in the future are Psychics and Ghosts, since there's a lot interesting things they can do in general. Levitation, illusions, hypnosis, teleportation, phasing through solid objects, manipulation. That sort of stuff.

I completely agree, although I don't think Ash would end up using them as well as he could do. I would like to see more psychic Pokemon on the cast, but when Ash had Noctowl, he really didn't make the most of his psychic abilities.
Of course, the writers could always change this.
 
Well, the trend (If you'd even call it that) started when Ash caught Snorunt back in Hoenn. Now, in Sinnoh, Ash captured Gible. So Ash may catch another type of Pokemon in BW's region.

So has yet to capture a:

- Steel-type
- Poison-type
- Dark-type
- Psychic-type (I'm guessing Ash will catch a Pokemon of this type in the next region.)

sorry to bust your bubble, but wasn't Muk a Poison type? Ash had a poison type since Kanto (Muk).
 
Haunter was a perfect opportunity for Ash back in the day, damn! If only Ash used his brain more back then, but then again, this Ash was much more entertaining.
 
I think Ash needs a ghost pokemon in his next team as the wild card. A ghost type would be really interesting and he has not ever used one since the last one he had was never in a poke ball and was never commanded in a battle. I could hardly call that a capture. So the next type I want to be added to this team is a ghost-type.
 
The only Psychic type I could ever see Ash getting is Grumpig or Espeon he should have gotten one of those back in Hoenn and Johto. But its possible one of those types will be Ash's wildcard during Gen V not likely but maybe *cough* zorua*cough*
 
yes^^^^

or a psychic, he needs to learn this type of stuff already. can you imagine what teh writers could do with ash if he captures a psychic type? so many plot devices :)

I think the reason why Ash hasn't captured any of these types is so that the people around him can catch these types to make it seem Ash still needs to grow stronger.

Yeah but none of the main characters have captured a dark type. TR are the only ones who have ever owned a psychic type(not very good ones at that) and I'm pretty sure Brock's the only one with a Steel type. Ash has not captured 4 different types

Psychic
Dark
Steel
Ghost(never officialy captured Haunter)
You could also count rock since he didnt capture Larvitar either
 
Ash is too dumb to exploit the ub3rh4xx wonders of a Psychic-type. I'd want to hang myself just watching the idiot not teleport away at a dangerous moment or not putting the bad guys to sleep for the sake of fairness even though they would most likely maim him regardless.
I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

I wouldn't mind him getting a Dark-type though. Break the damn pattern of making Dark-types seem too evil for the main cast. It's already been established that they're not actually evil by nature.

And Misty has had a psychic-type...but along with what I said earlier, I think since Ash caught Gible, this could mean the start of more "different" captures as in Ash is growing stronger!

Oh yeah totally forgot about Starmie being part psychic. Even though, we never saw anything from Starmie in the way of Psychic attacks. It be nice to have an actually useful Psychic type on the main cast
 
Ghost or psychic... count me in.

I'm actually surprised that they had Ash catch Aipom at the end of BF instead of having him catch a Kirlia to have him gain Gallade later on... But Zoey's got a Gallade so it all worked out in the end.
 
I would like him to get a fighting type and actually keep it. Primeape was barely on his team before it left and Heracross seems to be more bug the fighting. Also all for the Ghost or Psychic type as well
