If Gamefreak introduced a new type to Pokémon,... [Part 2]
[Original post]
@darkvioletcloud If I remember correctly, there were a bunch of rumors about new types, but I didn't really expect there to be a new one added. I don't know if anyone predicted Fairy-type. I still feel it was an odd choice compared to a more general "Mystic" or "Magic" or even "Fable" type.
@undeaddragon88-blog That'd be kind of cool. There's... what, around 15 food-based Pokemon (including fruits)? But that might be tough to categorize because technically, all Pokemon could be food (just like all animals)? Maybe just for Pokemon based on artificial food? A Confection-type, maybe?
@friendlyneighborhoodmadscientist My thoughts exactly for Sound. Music is probably too narrow a name, though they did go with Steel-type instead of Metal, so it wouldn’t be impossible. Psychic encapsulates Cosmic, but I don’t necessarily think it should. The cosmos/space is different than psychic powers and could be treated as such, if they want to. The Ancient-type idea is more of focusing on primitive power instead of focusing on ancient = fossil = rock.
@spiderqueenpc I love cosmic horror, so I think that sounds really cool! I guess Ultra Beasts do fill that roll of extra-dimensional creatures, but I’m not the biggest fan of them, so I’m all for Forgotten-type.
@april-ace Oh, I like that! I always found it anticlimactic that Areceus is just Normal-type (by default).
@severebagelmakerpeach I like Mystic. Rubber seems really specialized, I think an Artificial-type might have more applications? That’s an original idea though, it makes me interested in checking out the Zorneo region.
@tokiro07 Beast feels like a combination of Normal-type and Fighting-type to me, but it could be cool. I really like the idea of a Healing-type. New type or not, those move ideas are awesome!
@officialscud I thought of Nuclear-type while making this list! Ultimately I feel it falls too closely under the umbrella of Poison-type (even though they’re different), but I gotta say, that hits differently after finally watching the HBO Chernobyl miniseries.
@prince-amethyst Naturally ;)
@apokeypse-now Probably not. But maybe those ideas could fit together with @tokiro07′s Healing-type to be... Bio-type?
@itsernestok That’s cool - like an alternate dimension type. That would fit into my personal interpretation of a Cosmic-type, but I like how you looked at it.
