The fans have been complaining, so Game Freak has decided to revamp the Pokemon franchise. They have separate teams in charge of taking care of the moves, abilities, and various other mechanics. All that's left up to you, is to come up with a new type chart. GF has a couple of requirements and suggestions, but other than that they are leaving it in your hands.
Requirements:
>Exactly 10 types
>One type MUST be 'Normal'
>immunities will no longer be handled by types, and now fall solely onto abilities
>must be backwards compatible, with all existing Pokemon being retuned to fit into the new categories
>the existing starters must still retain their weakness/resistance type match ups after the change
Suggestions:
>it is suggested, but not required, to have then 9 non-normal types fit into 3 separate 'elemental triangles' like the starters
>balancing types to all have the same number of weaknesses and resistances to each other will help prevent Pokemon from being defensively unsuitable, but is not a requirement
What changes do you make, and why?
