I would've gone with Saint type instead of fairy. Saints can slay Dragons, like heroes and basically can retain the balance of fairy while being less faggy.

The 18 types are ok. We just need a few changes. Each type weak against 3 types and strong against 3 types. Just move some weakness. PLUS: change normal with beast, flying with wind and fairy with light

Water could use a buff, that's for sure.

I work at Gamefreak, they're streamlining the type chart in Gen 7.

Ground and Rock are fused into Earth type
Sound type is introduced
Flying is renamed to Wind type
Grass is renamed to Plant type
Steel is renamed to Metal type

Pic related, it's the new type chart.

They should add a new type: "Toy" which is for plastic-like pokemon that resemble puppets or animal toys.

Weak VS fire, earth, fighting
Super effective VS normal, bug, dark... i dunno

Kricketot, Kricketune -> Bug/Sound
Audino -> Normal/Sound (Fairy/Sound Mega)
Meloetta -> Sound/Psychic and Sound/Fighting
Noibat, Noivern -> Sound/Dragon
14 Pokemon, 7 evolutionary lines...
Fairy type had 22 Pokemon and 8 evolutionary lines, so I don't think it's THAT much of a stretch.

I never liked Rock/Ground since Steel happened.

Rock > Ice > Ground > Steel > Rock
Rock/Ground x 4 weakness to water/grass
Ice/Steel x 4 weakness to fight/fire

> No Ice/Steel types
> No Regiground

I understand rock being like boulders and shit and ground being dirt, but something about it all makes my autism shiver.

That's because there never should have been a Rock-type to begin with. Almost all RPGs, Japanese or no, have an Earth-type, since it's one of the classical elements. Ground and Flying should have been Earth and Air from day 1, and Rock should never have existed.

The thing is, they're not "elements", they're "types". Classifications.

Ground-type Pokemon are specifically Pokemon who live underground or in mud.

I mentioned I understood it.

It might just be because I played Gen 1 for so long. If you play the game without reviving the fossils, you can't get a Rock type that isn't also a Ground Type, while Ground gets three evolution lines to itself.

Type interaction has always been ugly imo, but I guess that gives the franchise its charm.

Saffron Gym had a Trainer that said something like "Psychic pokemon only fear bugs and ghosts!" The anime had the main character sort of beat the Gym Leader with a Haunter.

So I tried to train a Haunter to fight Sabrina. Psychic was immune to Ghosts in Gen 1.

Of the 5 moves Ghosts can learn through leveling, 3 are Ghost-type. Night shade, Lick, and Confuse Ray.

Gen 1 was ass.

How about a magic type to round out the fantasy motif?

Fighting (hero)
Dragon
Fairy
Dark (bad guy)
Magic (the wizard)

Let's see...

Magic is super effective against:

Steel (alchemy)
Ghost
Dragon

Magic is not very effective against:

Grass
Dark
Fighting
Bug

Magic resists:

Fairy
Ghost
Fire
Poison

Magic is weak to:

Dark
Grass
Bug

Stuff like Alakazam, Delphox, maybe Cresselia would gain a secondary Magic typing.

Thoughts?

Thats actually pretty decent
>>22184596
yep, another Sound post but it still feels like the mostly likely next type.

Sound
Attacking;
X2 - Water, Flying, Ghost, Ground
X1/2 - Steel, Rock, Grass
=0 - Electric

Defending;
X2 - Ice, Psychic
X1/2 - Electric, Water
=0 - Sound

Boosts Ice, Grass and Psychic while being good against those with common top-tier types like Talonflame, Aegislash, M-Gengar, Landorus, Greninja etc.

Retconned pokemon;
Jigglypuff line (Sound/Fairy)
Exploud line (Sound)
Chimeco line (Sound/Psychic)
Misdreavus line (Ghost/Sound)
Meloetta (Sound/Psychic-Fighting)
Kricketune (Bug/Sound)
Audino (Normal/Sound)
Illumise (Bug/Sound)
Pyroar (Fire/Sound)
Chattot (Sound/Flying)
Gothitelle line (Psychic/Sound)

This fucker gets the whole balance thing.
What pokemon would be retconned to Cosmic, though? I imagine a large portion of Psychic will become that type
it could be worked into the story/lore that certain Psychic types had such a connection with space that their psychic abilities were just a patch, and during a celestial event (planets aligned or something) that only happens every 10'000 years, their connection grew so strong their Psychic type evolved into Cosmic. A bit like Rock typed becoming Steel by eating ores and the heat and pressure from deep underground

Whether you want to call it Cosmic or Alien:

Cleffa, Clefairy, Clefable
Staryu, Starmie
Lunatone
Solrock
Jirachi
Deoxys
Elgyem, Beheeyem
Primal Kyurem

At the very least.

I hate type-retconning, I feel like you'll always step on toes no matter what. Though no remorse for switching Clefable to Fairy/Cosmic since they already changed it this gen.
