Looking at three possible new pokemon types that gamefreak could make but probably won't. Sound type, Magic type, and Cyber Type!
#pokemon - Hry
Bug should resist or be immune to sound since most insects are deaf
Plus bug needs a buff
interesting take
Wait are they actually?
Wow this is a very interesting concept! I love it, it suits the bug type so well!
chat can somebody fact check this for me real quick
I don't like the idea of type matchups only being added for the competitive, there should always be some sort of logical reason for adding a super effective or resistance.
That’s exactly what i thought every time he gave a type matchup simply because “this type needs a buff/nerf” or something like that
@@goldbergvidsironically enough they made some sense logically, if you take dragons witch are mythical creatures then it makes sense that they would be weak to literal magic kinda like the source is stronger then the carriers and fighting, well what’s martial arts doing in comparison to magic and if you interpret steel as society then magic as nature then either can be super affective against each other, although I don’t see any good reasons for poison, ice and bug
I don’t understand the reasoning behind fairy and dragon, but I can understand the reasoning for dark and psychic as those are connected to the mind and emotion and likely aren’t reliant on their senses, flying seems like a stretch mainly because of its dual nature but I can see sound resisting it because sound is just vibrating wind
I don't understand the logic behind half of the current type matchups though
Well take a type like Sound, it being good against strong types like Water or Steel makes sense, and not being very effective against bad types like Ice and not affecting Bug would add a great flavour of balance to the game while also thematically working
@@goldbergvidscongrats you just describes a logical reason for type matchups
The thing about the magic type is that it’s confusing. It’s like having a “magic element” in a fantasy element magic system: everything they do is essentially magic, so what’s the distinction? Is it just some sorta arcane energy? That would be the fairy and/or psychic type though, so what would the magic type really be? Most of the types function as an element of sort.
Arcane is a very much more fitting name
Giving a move the ability to flinch every single opponent in the field is beyond broken, infinitely more than Fake Out.
For one, Fake Out is single target and can only be used in the first turn the user is sent out, while this can be used every two turns.
You're basically giving any mon the ability yo set-up Trick Room or any boosting move for free in Doubles.
Not only that: the fact this has +4 priority makes it impossible to block if the user doesn't either have Shield Dust or a Covert Cloak.
Some neat trivia, those are pixelated versions of my Light, Virus, Magic, and Wind type symbols at the 1-minute mark. Cool how there are people who still like them 10 years later.
cool!
The challenge arises when introducing a sound and magic type, as it intersects with the existing normal and fairy categories. Abilities like Liquid Voice and moves such as Boomburst fall under the sound type, while moves like Substitute and Throat Chop counteract sound-based strategies, essentially creating a need for an entirely new type. Attempting to categorize sound as a subcategory of normal and designating fairy as the magic type has been explored by Pokémon previously. However, the fairy type itself is intended to encapsulate magical elements, making it a broader classification than just magic alone. While fairies are often associated with magic, it's essential to recognize that they embody various characteristics beyond a singular theme.
Magic intersects with Psychic more than Fairy tbh
@@utubeiskaren7796definitely
You sound like an AI
@@utubeiskaren7796 How lol
@@utubeiskaren7796but no. Magic and Fairy go hand in hand.
You know, not all pokemon would have to drop one of their typings if they're already related to something that inbodies the "new type". They could be a Dhelmise/Bombirdier situation where they have a afinity (or in this case ability) with that type but don't exactly make part of it.
"cute creatures"
Xerneas: gonna pretend i didn't see that.
Water being super effective against the digital type makes sense because what happens if you spill water on an electronic
While magic is interesting, I see a lot of people say that Psychic and Fairy types are the "Embodiment of Magic types anyway". However, putting aside legitimately any elemental type, the Dragon Type has actually be proven to have a lot of arcane elements tied into it. Check it out sometime if you're interested!
I've been working on a fanmade Pokémon region and I personally added a blood type. I felt the themes of the type (blood, organs, predators, and brutality) fit the darker tone of the plot, and the resistances and weaknesses help buff and nerf some types.
Super effective against: Fairy (because fairies are generally small enough to become easy prey to carnivorous animals), Fighting (because punching things requires muscles and blood flow to the arms), Psychic (because blood is a common fear), and Dragon (because of quite a few mythological dragon-slaying weapons being forged from a dragon's blood)
Not very effective against: Steel (the trope of knights and warriors using their own blood or pain as a source of power), Ice (because of the effects extreme temperatures have on the body), Fire (because of the effects extreme temperatures have on the body), and Poison (because poison can really mess you up if it gets into your bloodstream)
No effect against: Ghost (because ghosts don't have blood, as well as blood mysteriously appearing on walls from thin air being a trope in horror movies that feature paranormal phenomena)
Resistant to: Steel (iron is in the blood), Fairy (because fairies are generally small enough to be easy prey to carnivorous animals), Blood (because you can't out-hemomancy a hemomancer), and Dark (because of the concept of bloodlust)
Weak to: Fire (because of the effects extreme temperatures have on the body), Ice (because of the effects extreme temperatures have on the body), Poison (because poison can really mess you up if it gets into your bloodstream), and Bug (because haha funny mosquito go "bzz bzz SSSSSLLLLLLLUUUUUUURRRRRRPPPPP")
Good idea
Too edgy
@@omnii5818 if you think that's edgy, you should see the plot for my region and read some backstories
This was so enjoyable… Is it too much to ask for a part 2 already lmao 😭
so glad you enjoyed it! You should check out the 2 most recent videos on my channel if you enjoyed this one!
I personally like the idea of a data/cyber type. It doesn’t step on a whole lot of existing types since the only existing ‘mons that it would apply to are things like Porygon, maybe some of the more robotic Steel types and future paradox Pokemon, and I guess I could see arguments for some man-made ‘mons (I wouldn’t include Ditto or plain old ‘object Pokemon’ though).
Otherwise I think it’d be pretty fresh, and while adding types just for the comparative effect may be ill advised, I’d would like to say that arguments could be made for how it could be strong against some of the best types like Dragon, Fairy, Ghost, or Steel, while also weak against some of the worst types like Poison, Bug, Ice, or Rock without feeling like we’re just adding the interactions to balance type charts. (Those types are still considered respectively good & bad right? I don’t actually keep up with competitive so I only know the really good & really bad types.)
Still, preference over it and something like a Sound type may depend on what a person wants from a new type. Do you want something that’s new and doesn’t take away from existing types while interacting with them; or do you want something that can easily be added, applied to old pokemon and old moves, and just slide in like it was always there. Looking around, it seems opinions on this can vary.
I have to disagree with one thing: FAIRY ISN'T PSYCHIC
Kinda
@@coldy8665 Psychic is mind, mental powers etc. Fairy is light and straight up Magic.
None of these would really work as types. Sound already has too many moves and mechanics associated that would require massive overhaul and rebalancing to be it's own type, Magic (as you said) overlaps with Psychic and Fairy too much, and Cyber would just be far too restrictive of a concept since it'd require making tons of man-made Pokemon just to fill it with far more abstract designs that couldn't work for other types. Also, outside of what happened to the Rotom forms in gen 5, the only type that would ever be replaced for a new one would be Normal, as that is what happened when Fairy was introduced.
I dunno. Adding in a sound type just feels pointless and is a bit too specific. I mean, literally everything makes sound, so how are you gonna decide who gets the type outside of obvious picks. There's also the problem that adding another type may not fix anything except ensuring a new top dog. We don't need to mess up the type chart by adding in yet another type. But hey, maybe I'm wrong.
Yep
Everything can make sound, but not everything specializes in generating it
It’s what makes fighting different from normal. Fighting types specialize in martial arts techniques
Sound and cyber type look incredible! I would love some types also that would nerve the strong types (like water, steel, fairy) and buff the weaker types (like grass, bug, poison)! This is a very cool and interesting video!
Ice should beat sound, partially to buff the Ice type a bit, and because singers have a hard time with high notes in the cold
Well actually 🤓 sound travels faster through solid objects so it's more likely that sound would be super effective against ice
Since I feel like Arceus isn't done justice, I suggest the introduction of a God type: it would hit everything for super effective damage and resist everything except for other God types. Arceus would have this, and maybe we could give it to the Creation Trio in their Origin Forms. This would actually make my poor Fence Deer as OP as it deserves to be (And probably get it banned too)
that would be OP! but honestly, i could see a space type, giving it to arceus, all the ultra beast and so on
Maybe I’m stupid and not understanding the scientific reasons, but the super effective for sounds needs a change. They can’t just be a “it’s super effective cuz these types need a nerf” Sound has to have a reason for why it’s super effective
What would be a physical sound type move? Like Kiai Kick and Howling Strike? I think brilliant types to defend sound might be ice and grass since snow dampens noise and trees don’t have ears 😂
Great video. When thinking about those types, I can definitely see a group of starters where there regional counterparts have then. For example:
- regional Rillaboom = Grass/Sound
- regional Delphox = Fire/Magic
- regional Blastoise = Water/Cyber
Sound would be the only logical new type for me. Problem is that the type chart is already messed up and every time Gamefreak introduces a new type to fix it, things become even worse. You could make a point that Steel and Dark weren't even necessary considering the broken mechanics of Gen 1 and the absence of good Bug Pokémon / Moves to use against Psychic types. But at the very least Fairy was completely unnecessary (just buff Ice and stop making more and more broken Dragons) and just replaced 1 broken type with another one.
Your suggestions are very random, though. I mean Sound strong vs. Water, Fairy and Electric. Why? What's the logical reason? I could probably see water, as water is a conductor of sound. But why Fairy and Electric? And weak to Dragon? Makes no sense at all. And your argument for why Poison should be effective against Sound is more a reason why Poison should resist it. I could also see Bug resisting or even being immune to it. But overall, creating some "logical" type interactions with Sound isn't that easy.
Chimeco would be interesting as a Sound/Steel type.
For Magic: not a fan of this type. But not mentioning Alakazam as an obvious choice for a Pokémon getting the Magic type is a crime.
I agree. The types resistance and effectiveness are just a mess. Any of them make any sense.
I got some ideas for new types... Sort of.
1: NPC (Non Pokemon Creatures): These are almost normal animals. The smaller ones almost function like pokeberries. The larger ones... There is a spell (from somewhere) that makes them self replicate into a small army.
Berserkers: Humans that are not afraid to fight Pokemon directly. They mostly throw projectiles (seen in legends of Arcious). There strongest weapon is a Warball, the only weapon that could hurt a Pokemon.
For the cyber type they should add a new way of damage with electricity so like if it takes below a certain amount of electricity damage it absorbs it and heals but if it takes more than a certain amount it overloads and takes even more damage(like short-circuiting).
I think when we do eventually get a new type it's actually going to be something like what we just got with Stellar or something similar to Shadow: a complete and total gimmick. I just can't see them adding more types without completely reworking the type chart that exists as it is
Magma type would have eruption, lava plume, and magma sworm.
The pokemon would be slugma, camerupt, and heatran
Sound is the one I like the most out of those 3, pokemon with 2 types already could get the dhelmise treatment and have a "third type" as an ability, but I dont think it works with the current type chart
Magic wouldn't fit since special and physical is already a thing(yet meowscarada is a physical attaker for some god forsaken reason)
Cyber just feels weird, its less of a type and more of a classification kinda thing, like egg groups and such, it doesn't make sense for it to take/deal more damage because it is artificial/fake
Tbh, all 3 types suggested in this video are already in game some way or another, it becomes more of a "where do you draw the line" situation, if sound becomes a type, why shouldn't spores become a type? We have many mushroom inspired mons.
Same for cyber, why dont we also get a mollusk type for all of those water mons that aren't water? The answer is that they already are in the water 1, water 2 and water 3 egg group, (I dont remember if there is a water 4)
Returning to sound, magic and the forementioned spores, the answer is that they are merely the shape an attack takes, not the force that fuels the attack, lets take mythology for an example: If sound was a type, there would be no difference from the hypnotic voice of a mermaid and the voice of a regular human being.
Back to pokemon, personally, I hate ground type, but their relationship to eletric, rock and steel makes them work, because its not that the attack is grounded, the attack is made from the ground, such as dirt that absorbs and dissipates electricity and overwhelming pressure that can destroy rocks and minerals
Thoughts?
I can see Ludicolo replace the Water-type for the Sound-type sense its design doesn’t entirely say “Water-type” outside of it being based on a Kappa, Vibrava, along with Flygon, could get rid of the Dragon-type sense it is known as the “Desert Spirit” and would more likely require the Ground-type over the Dragon-type, and Toxtricity could get rid of the Poison-type for the Amped form and the Electric-type for the Low Key form.
If anyone wants to reply with another Pokémon that seems unclear to replace the Sound-type for another type that isn’t the Normal-type or add on to a single typed Pokémon, feel free to tell me.
As for Magic, you could easily look at Dungeons and Dragons for some inspiration. Magic could be a great type for causing various status effects with their unique attack, among others, examples of some moves:
Magic Missile - This is your 2-5 hit move, technician would of course work here.
Mystical Fire would be changed to Magic type, and would cause burn. Or it would be a Magic move thats also Fire type.
Illusion - This is your Protect or Detect for Magic types.
Mystical Chill - Weaker attack with a chance of Frostbite (which should return over Frozen)
Witch's Brew - Throws a damaging cocktail that could poison thee target.
Enchanted Binding - Like Magic's Wrap or Fire Spin.
Magic Bolt - A Shot of Magical Lightning that may cause paralysis.
Magical Terrain - Creates a field of Magical properties. It makes any Normal type moves and Pokemon become the /Magic type and increases all moves and power by 30%.
This is one of the only "what if Pokémon had this" videos that I fully support! Brilliant ideas.
Watch you inadvertenly bring back the Zubat line's infestation once the Sound types become relevant.
You can’t just throw around any strengths and weaknesses you gotta justify them
lol that’s what I’m saying
If Pokemon were to add more types, I think they should do it like this, introduce something like either Sub-Types or Fusion Types. Crystal Type could be a sub-type to Rock and for Fusion Types fuse Flying and Electric to make Sound Type. Since Flying is basically the Wind element in Pokemon.
The thing is. Sub-Types already exist. It's sound, wind, slash, etc
10:59 There's already an ability that does this, gholdengo's good as gold and i can confirm that it is very powerful in VGC
Good as gold does the inverse, this is more like a built in shield dust.
Sound type could be supereffective to ghost type and have immunity to it same as Dragon and fairy interacts with each other
What I thought they could add that could unify most of these is an Artificial type, which would cover Cyber, Tech, Rubber, Plastic, etc. Then also they’re would be a Sound type that is resistant to Artificial type, and be super effective against it, since most man made stuff is an amplifier of sound. Then I’d have a Cosmic type, that would be immune to Sound, and also be Super effective against it, but it would be extremely weak against Artificial type, as human creations litter space as space junk, and also we make probes and spaceships to traverse space.
The magic type is interesting and all, but I just wanna point out that there's actually a better version of it in the fangame pokemon Azurite. Its called the mystic type, and it's purpose is to basically represent trickery and such. There's more info on the game's website if you're interested!
I feel like the types are finalized already... especially terapagos exists, which is a pokemon that supposedly has all the typing. What excuse would they have to cook in order to justify the absence of the aforementioned new typing on terapagos' shell
Ice is immune to Sound
Ice is super effective against Sound
Why? Because snow is a natural sound dampener, that’s why it’s so eerily quiet on snowy days.
This will give Ice types the buff they desperately need.
if pokemon add 2 more types i'll be satisfied for like 5 pokemon games idc what type just with 20 total types i think that would be perfect imo
Always enjoy listening to people's ideas on new types, and this did not disappointment!
Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Love comments like these ♥️
Bug not resisting or being immune to sound was a missed opportunity
I think there should be a reverse to not-very-effective, like being beneficial instead, like a grass pokemon getting hit with water type move it doesn’t take damage, it heals, it was add more challenge to switching a pokemon with low health to take a beneficial move instead of taking damage
I can see Glitch only being learned by Rotom forms or Porygon Z. Or maybe even they change the evo method to Porygon Z being similar to Annihilape where if Porygon 2 learns Glitch it'll literally glitch into Z
Some time ago I thought of the Dream typing.
It would be good against Poison, Ghost and Dark
Weak against and resisted by Psychic and Normal
Resists Ghost, Dark and Fairy
It would be given to all pokemon that have something to do with Healing, Sleep or Space
So yea my boy Hypno gettin spoiled with this one 🔥
Sounds like it’d overlap with psychic
Both have to do with controlling minds
Right now, I think that a new type is least likely to happen because the Fairy type still hasn't really been fully optimized. It's still very much lacking in a lot of aspects. Even now, the only good physical move I know of is Play Rough. Sure, more can still be added in games to come, but it would just feel unfinished if another type was added before we got anything truly decent to better round it out.
For me, the Sound type might be somewhere near the bottom of potential types that would be added. This is mainly because, in all honesty, it makes most sense for majority of sound based attacks to affect most fairly the same, whether it's operating from the perspective of simply being sound or vibration, just like the Normal type. Not to mention, it would also be taking a lot of fairly good moves from other types that could use them, specifically the Normal type. The biggest detractor for the Sound type would be that it might run a little too similarly alongside the Normal type. The only thing I can give it, is that it shouldn't be too much work to overhaul and reprogram certain interactions within the games since there are already moves and abilities that focus on such, but where's the fun and point in that?
Rather than adding a sound type, I would like to see a "move +" mechanic where pokemon all get improvements to moves that are considered iconic to that Pokemon. So Pokemon who would want to get the sound type, such as Exploud, Toxtricity, Jigglypuff, Noiverne, etc., will get moves like "Hyper Voice +", which may improve the power by 50%. This could extend to other Pokemon moves as well. Maybe Blastoise will get "Flash Cannon +" which has 50% improved power, Hypno will get "Hypnosis +" which has improved accuracy, Electrode will get "Explosion +" which stuns Pokemon for one turn, etc.
I got some more ideas for new elements.
Coward: These Pokemon represent cowardly heroes who come on top. They would have the reverse for psychic types.
Spartan: These Pokemon represent military like elements. They are strong against dark and weak against bug.
Jedi: These Pokemon represent creatures in the Star Wars franchise. They are strong against ghost and weak against dark.
Energon: Pokemon that represent elements in the Transformers franchise. They are strong against electric and steel and weak against ground and flying.
Roger: Pokemon that represent the old rubber hose cartoons. They are only weak against poison and dark.
Mystic Fire can be changed to function like Flying Press. Where Flying Press is both fighting and flying, Mystic Fire can be both Fire and Magic.
I like the idea of the Cyber type the most, since it feels like it has its own identity without stepping on the toes of other types/mechanics as much as Sound or Magic. Especially since Porygon always felt weird as a Normal type when it's literally data brought to life
Steel and Electric(Psychic?):
I like the Sound and Cyber types but Magic is basically the same as fairy because fairy is basically magic (I think), and Fairy and psychic are two completely different things, atleast for me.
Thank goodness you understand.
@@rossjones8656 Thx.
The perfect magic type move has existed in the game since gen 1. It's called Metronome. Whenever you use Metronome it summons a random move. In gen 7 if you activate a normelium Z thus using Z-Metronome, the move that has been selected will become the random Z-move type it has summoned, creating some very unique moments!
TRUE
Well types more likely be based off their biology like toxtricity just has strings that are on its.chest but obstagoon could be changed because of its behavior and the fact that they use sound based moves and everything (so change normal to sound)
I'd love a Glass type.
Translucent parts on any character is cool af, and having shards of glass sticking out of their body or flung at opponents seems sick.
There's no current Pokémon that would make a good Glass type, but there weren't any Pokémon retroactively made Dark type either.
Mirror shot, move, & coat would become glass type. There's an argument for camouflage and Keckleon become glass type too since they turn translucent.
what i would do if i was gamefreak's ceo:
Combine rock and ground types into one earth type (and obviously balance out the type charts and try and mend pokemon who has both types or had one of the types but now just got heavily nerfed or buffed. That would be a challenge fr and thats why this will never happen)
split flying into flying and air types. Not really a spilt but some are flying because there birds and others are flying because they use the element air and i just think thats dumb. With the new flying typing ill make them have some interesting relationships with the other "animal" types and might keep there ground immunity. And with the air type imma just link it where it should have been originally... with the other damn elements.
add sound type. For obvious reasons
add a light type. This ones less popular because its too hard to differentiate it from the fairy and psychic types but i plan on changing the whole type chart to make it more balanced anyways so ill find a way to squeeze in the light type.
this ones the most interesting but obviously its been suggested before like a lot in fact its one of the most popular "new types" suggestions) and thats the cosmic/space type. It just makes a lot of sense and is so cool as well.
and with this there are now 21 types(earth type combined 2 types and flying created 2 types so overall a net 0 types added and i added 3 new types so that 18+3=21)
Bug can be Super Effective against Sound Types to give Bug types something.
I hope that game freak makes a new pokemon type called the legendary type this brand new type could act differently depending on the users surroundings, HP level, and egg group I think that it would also be best if this type was only accessible to legendary pokemon and mythical pokemon it would also be dope if they decided to add a lunar type and a sound type not to mention a primitive/ Prehistoric type would be off the chain.
Light type is the only type that could ever be implemented. It has around 30 mons that work for it, and almost all don’t have to have a type get replaced for it to work. It can make sense to be a separate type since it represents both physical light and divinity(similar to fighting, but definitely different) and it can fix a ton of the type chart. It can be supereffective on fairy, dark, and ghost since divine beings overpower minor fairies or smth and dark and ghost is obvious. Then it can be resisted by bug, ice, and grass since bugs are attracted to and enjoy light, ice and snow can reflect and deafen light, and grass absorbs light. Definitely would be my choice for a new type, but I wouldn’t want it until like gen 11-12
Sound and Light Type aren’t needed. The Sound Type does not make sense. Any element can make sound including two rocks banging together. Make more sound-based moves. Based on your reasoning making Electric weak to Sound you might as well have Normal be weak to Sound as well. Flying immune to sound makes absolutely no sense.
The Magic Type is irrelevant. Fairy is Magick, Psychic is Magic. Notice the difference. Fairy types are creatures found in fairy tales. Psychic types are intelligent big brains. No pure Psychic Type was turned into Fairy but pure Normal Pokémon were.
There are better ways to balance the type chart than new types.
This is so awesome, just found your channel . 100% subscribing lol cheers mate
Awesome, thank you and welcome aboard ♥️
Type suggestion: Food
Examples of food pokemon: Alcreamie, Applin, Swirlix, etc
I would love to see plastic, space, and light.
Plastic (weakness : fire strong : ground)
Space (weakness : light strong : fire)
Light (weakness : space strong : dark)
I feel like the Regis could also be Cyber type even though they aren’t manmade, but they do behave like machines and make internet noises.
As a long time pokemon fan (since i was 2 years old, and could turn on the tv all by myself), i've been fascinated by pokemon and their types, and what secrets these hide
as of late, i've come to think on the possible reasons and inspirations behind each type
and recently, thanks to people like Lockstin Truegreen and Hoops, i've come to understand that
all pokemon types are interpretations of either:
- Turn based RPG Magic/Special combat abilities and their damage
- Common/known RPG enemies
(sure with a few other add on themes in there, so not every type stays as reductive as Gen 1's Bird type)
So
If i were to add new pokemon types
i've got 6 in mind
each honoring the base idea of "it should show up on an (turn base) RPG before being added to pokemon"
3 are "Magic Type" Themed
and the other 3 are "Production" Themed
These are:
- Sound (yes the first one mentioned in the vid), not only as a direct representative for the "Wind/Air" element in pokemon, but also, a representation to "Spell Chanting" and Bard characters in RPGs
- Light (yes another old fan favourite one, however), Since trying to Define "Light as Light" gets a bit *iffy for most people, i'd say, Light is: Luminescence, Radiation, Intense colorfullness, near divinity, (and since i'm a fan of the original Homestuck story, i'd be remiss if i didn't add), Luck
Light would represent "Holy Magic/Skills" in RPG terms, mostly since the poke that currently represents that being the Fairy/Psychic bunch, don't really fit the bill very well
- Void (this is where i start getting ACTUALLY personal), This one's a bit harder to understand, but, bare with me here...
There are tons of sugestions for Time, Space, Dimension, Monster, Demon, Abberation, Alien, and many other kinds of types that are basicly just 1 thing, being suggested by many fans out there, but not really having much of a leg to stand on, soooo i thought to myself, "Why not make a type that incorporates all of that"
So, I thought of a middle ground for it all, as the "Void" type, the type the represents that which is so far Past Normal, even for the World of Pokemon, that they are defined as "Freaky/Weird by nature"
This being:
- - Creatures that can survive in the Time_Stream/Vacuum_of_Space/Void_Between_Dimensions
- - Beings that embody whole lesser dimensions, or just have the power to open portals to them
- - Species that look Lovecraftian/Frankensteinish/Alien
- - Lifeforms that come from places so mind boggling, that even Psychic/Dark/Ghost/Fairy types, can't beguin to handle them
I also thought of this type, as another slap on Fairies and Psychic types, but also, as a type that's weak to Normal, mostly since "How do you beat the Unknown and what you fear live in the dark? You learn to make it part of your day to day, and normalise it"
The "Magic" this type represents, is Eldrich in nature, it is the magic of non-demonic and non-spiritual curses, powers that come from "somewhere else", things that usually only the highest form of "Light magic" can disperse
(The RPGs that help this work as a possible entry for Pokemon, are games like the Fear and Hunger series)
(and for the 3 production types)
- Plastic (both in the sence on the man made material, and in the sence of "highlly maliable"), this type would represent pokes that exist as 1 with human cities and settlements, and with that, they were either:
- - Man Made, engineered in some lab/factory
- - Creatures that mutated over time, to mimmic something only found in industrial centers
- - Creatures that phisicly represent man made only objects/materials/processes
This type encompasses everything Cyber, Digital, Mimic, Rubber, Plastic, Toy.
It's ment to represent RPGs like Off, where 1 of the world's core elements is Plastic, which defines most of your enemie's main bodies
It relates to living toys, like Banette, and Stufful, things that weren't ment to be pokes, but still came to be that way, like Porigon and Ditto
- Paper, the antithesis of Plastic, Paper also relates to "made pokemon", only these are pokes that relate to "processes once thought to only be man made, only for them to be found in nature", Like Paper
(Wax, Tools, Medicine, Homes, Language), however, they also relate to "older ways of man made products that have fallen out of fashion", making them a possible stand in for a "Object that gainned a soul"-type, mostly so that Ghost isn't the only one with that kind of stuff
The kinds of RPG enemies it represents, are also connected to a type of magic, that being "living paper" enemies, Spell Tag monsters, and magic circle enemies
giving it a light edge as another possible magic type
(also, most of the REAL reason it justifies itself, is due to the Paper Mario series)
- Food, a type i'm mostly considering seing that the number of pokes that activly look like food/are canonicly eaten, is 2ce over double digits now. + How Miitopia and many other "gag-like RPGs" introduced food based enemies.
This type serves as a weak type against most "Creature types" in pokemon, Including Normal, since most creatures would have the power to eat unabated.
However!
It could have some surprising strengths, like bing super effective against: Fighting, Dark, Fairy, Poison
Mostly since:
- Eating too much can ruin your training's results
- Lots of tales of Demons/Fairies alike being tamed and pacfied with some noms
- Food can't die from being poisoned, but it can sure kill you
As a basis for the type idea
and those would be the types i'd add
I thank you for you patience/time, in reading this comment
hope you a great day/noon/evening/night
AND
if you have any opinions, add ons to my concept(s), or counterpoints against some of my ideas
i'd be open to read them in the replies
Physic type resists sound is most bonker idea imaginable. Have fun concentrating during concert, while child is crying or on construction side. Pokemon types chart has some semblance of reality
In order for a new type to work, I think it should have the following traits
* It should help types that are suffering with interactions and nerf types that are too overpowered. So being weak to Bug and Ice but strong against Fairy and Steel is a good start. Steel and Dark were added to balance the Psychic type. Fairy was meant to balance the Dragon type but ended up being a bit too good at its job
* It needs to be a concept that you can easily slap on to a bunch of past Pokemon and have it fit. Maybe consider some of the egg groups for inspiration? Fairy used to be specifically an egg group. I could see a "Beast" type (there could be a better name) with a bunch of Pokemon in the monster and field egg groups
* Speaking of retconning types, it seems they are only willing to completely change the Normal type. They were fine adding the Fairy type to previously mono-types, but there was absolutely no switching of a non-Normal dual type to Fairy
* Think carefully not to overshadow an existing type. Don't make the same mistake Fairy made when it stole Psychic's job
Ik it’s never gonna happen but every new gen since 6 I’ve been hoping for a sound type( I remember rumours of yveltal being sound type before the game released lmao)
Finally some one gets that cyber should be a type 😂
Sound should actually be supereffective against Water and Steel as it travels faster in liquids and solids.
I agree on Cyber/Digital being weak to Bug, because of computer bugs.
"glitch isn't fake out on roids" double battles:
4:02 as well as these, noivern would become a sound and dragon type. Its my fav pokemon and I would love to see Noivern get an upgrade in some form or the other in the new z game.
Sound moves faster at night or if its just dark in general
Personally I think if Pokemon ever adds new types it should probably cap at 20 (I am not counting the stellar type since it’s a gimmic, same reason we don’t say there’s 20 types cause of shadow and ???) I think the criteria for the types needs to be that they buff weaker types and hinder newer types, give enough creative freedom to create a ton of Pokémon, and can easily be slapped onto pre exsisting pokemon. That’s why I think the two next types should be sound and cosmic as there’s already a sound mechanic and space pokemon have existed since gen 1. They could even introduce them simultaneously and show off the wigglytuff line as part sound and clefable line as now part cosmic. A lot of people say that “oh those types are covered by normal and psychic” but like…. All of what fairy is conceptually was covered by psychic. It makes more sense to not have space themed pokemon all be psychic type anyway as they’ve already split the magic vs mental part with fairy. For normal, normal has always been the type they use when nothing else fits. Like there’s no reason for the clefable line to be normal but it is, or the exploits line. The sound mechanic already existing makes sound the perfect next type. Cosmic a close second
Pokemon should add traits instead. Think of it like a secondary set of types that can overlap with what we had before but also get super specific without the need to dramatically change the formula. Then you could have a Toxtricity with its OG types but the sound "trait" on top of it.
2:27 Honestly! No Joke!
Since this year
HToAZ was exactly what most of fans wanted.
9:31 There is only one sense here to add a type based on some yet unknown material or on the cyber level - an evil team. Because here you can stuff yourself with a lot of resistances and immunities,and give the ability to damage him only to certain types, as Crimsonite did in Koromon. These "alien materials" and "human-developed cyber Pokemon" are made to completely destroing their original, as was the case with Mewtwo, Ditto, and Porygon, who was just joking.
I think,what you just put them a elektro resist / weakness and someone else,but i think in another way.
I usually see space like types with fakemon im surprised he did not bring it up
Icecream appears.
Points at it, "CYBER TYPE"
lolol
A Space or Technology type would be the only ones that make sense. Sound is just normal. Fairy already covers Light IMO
bug ice and grass will be super effective vs the new types
I always thought SOUND type could be added as there were so many Sound based Pokemon and Moves already.
I disagree with MAGIC as like others say, it is already redundant with the PSYCHIC and FAIRY TYPE.
For the CYBER Type, I would change it to TECH (as in technology because for me CYBER means Cyberspace which doesnt correspond to others aside from Porygon line). I agree with those pokemon mentioned in this video to be included in the TECH type.
I would personally would like to add SPACE or ASTRO type which will include pokemon from out of this world. Pokemon included are Clefairy (Astro/Fairy), Minior (Astro/Rock), Lunatone (Astro/Rock) and Solrock (Astro/Rock), Elygem and Beheeyem (Astro/Psychic) Deoxsys (pure Astro), the Ultra Beasts (Astro/secondary type) and others. This will be immune to Psychic, Resists Dark, Normal and Fighting but is Super Effective to Fairy, Sound and Ground.
I wish when people made fanmade types, they also made fanmade Berries/status conditions to go with them
Oh true!
Magic makes no sense because they are by definition, magical creatures. They were literally called that before they were canonically called Pokemon.
Pokemon=Pocket Monsters
Id personally say magic could deal with pp so mana punch could maybe restore some pp for moves kinda like how drain moves deal with hp mana types could potentially see play as pp manipulators
Id personally like something more ekin to how steel started with it being introduced in evolutions to make it feel like a powerful type.
The thing about these typings is that they feel like subtypes at best. Sound type honestly feels weird to be a different category when there are sound based moves in different typings. Unless they introduce two-type moves, Sound type still feels lacking to become a real typing because it would share most of it's moves with other typings, making it just a visible type but not as prominent as other typings. If there's any typings I can consider as possible typings would be Light and Wind. Sure Wind is already incorporated in Flying type moves but I honestly think Flying and Wind should be separate, like Flying type moves should be more contact focused while Wind is more non-contact focused. As for Light, argument of it being Fairy type doesn't feel right at all. We know that in the Japanese version of Pokemon, Dark type is known as the Evil type so why shouldn't we make a Good type as Light? It will sadly add another strong typing against Dark but it would be fun if Dark is also strong against it.
I always thought about a cosmic type mainly for legendaries,mythicals and ultra beasts
Awesome idea! Keep up the great work 👍🏽
thanks fam, glad you liked it! Will do!
I thought of quite a few; light, sound (or rhythm), void (or space), and yeah. We have dark, so why not light?
Most likely to work if they finally introduce triple tying which they sadly never will
Psychic is all about the mind, that's why it's weak to common fears like insects, ghosts and darkness. It would also be weak to Sound because it breaks your focus.
yo i cant argue with that logic!
The cyber type is a fun concept and would give them a good excuse to create some more man-made pokemon. As a kid I always wanted to see that robot pikachu from the super nerd sprite to become a real pokemon
I propose fiend.
Fiend type pokemon are largely evil.
4x weak against fairy and dragon.
Resists dark, fire, water, electric, grass, rock, ground, steel.
4x strong against dark, ghost.
Does neutral damage against everything else.
Angel types: are more on the defensive side.
Resists ALL types by 20%.
Does neutral damage to ALL types.
Majority of Angel type moves are supportive/healing/defensive, like dance of light, which increases all stats by one stage of all allies in battle.
Or the move truce, which prevents all pokemon from using damaging moves for 3 turns. (Good for setting up, eh?)
It only has a few offensive moves.
Like rain of light, which hits all opponents 2-5 times with 15 base power.
But majority of ALL its moves affect all pokemon, like all allies or all opponents.
So basically all the future paradox pokemon are cyber type
what about sound moves? should bug buzz be sound or bug type? or both?
for me
SOUND
Effective: Water, Rock, Fairy, and Dragon
Resist: Steel, Ground, Ghost
Weak: Poison, Electric, Flying, Ice
NVE: Psychic, Dark, Bug
Immunity: Sound
Instead of Magic, I would call it Mystic type.
MYSTIC
Effective: Dragon, Psychic, Fighting
Resist: Steel, Bug, Electric, Ghost
Weak: Mystic, Ice, Poison, Dark
NVE: Water, Grass, Fire
Immunity: Fairy, Normal
Bug should be immune to confusion status effect.
Sound has the problem of how you make it physical?
Everyone wanting sound type then me in the corner who made 24 new magic types hoping it would be in pokemon some day soon
Poke mon already add sound type, some pokemon have sound moves OR have things on their body that involve sound, but for some reason they never told us it's a real type.
