>>21491262Dude, how can't you understand such a simple thing? Sound is a way of hurting the enemy, not a type. It'd be a new stat (like physical and special), not a type, if it were expanded upon. Leaving all offensive sound moves as special is fine as is and makes sense.
Fire/Ice/Thunder/Sucker/Bullet Punch are PHYSICAL moves of their respective type. Get it? There's nothing wrong with that. They shouldn't be Fighting or Normal because they're is imbued with an element/substance/concept/whatever.
>>21491324I never brought up that stupid only substances or only concept thing. We have examples of both. I'm fine with whatever makes sense. Going by your logic though, sound is neither a substance nor a concept. It's a wave.
>>21491349Sound is a vibration and mechanical wave.
>It'd be like if there was Fire type but then there was Heat type.You're wanting exactly that though. Heat is an energy wave while Fire is one of the most prominent ways of attaining that wave.*cough* mechanical wave *cough* See the similarities?
>>21491402When did I ever mention secondary effects? Or do you mean effectiveness? Well, sound moves aren't imbued with anything else, they're just a vibration that moves through air. Bug Buzz, on the other hand, is Bug type because it is imbued with the of bugs...
The explanation of Fighting types being able to break rocks and steel is because they have a proper technique whereas normal Pokemon using Mega Punch don't.
>>21491487Congrats, you've been the only one to make a concise point. You're thinking of a more magical sound type, which kind of makes sense, but can be covered by the Fairy and Psychic types. Heck, even sang curses are covered by ghost types (why isn't Perish Song Ghost type again?).
And about the sound waves piercing harder substances, where did you get that from? Things like water are worse sound conductors than air. And Sonic Boom already has a similar flavor purpose - it always deals 20 damage to any type.
