Instead of being a new type, should Light be a subtyping/mechanic that works like Sound currently does?

Yes, definitely. It's way too spread out among different types for a simple Normal->new type conversion like Fairy.

Great idea, actually. Could introduce some blind Pokemon line which has an Ability that works like Soundproof but with light-based moves.

Sound's gimmick is going through Substitute, what would light's gimmick be? Going through screens?

Western fans ignore Fighting type is already the "Light" type

Fighting = Hero
Dark (called "Evil" in Japan) = Villain

Concepts borrowed from the "honorable warrior" stories and tokusatsu. Disscuss

Doesn't necessarily need a gimmick off the bat. Could just start with an ability that increases the damage from light-type moves. That said, if they make a Pokemon with a Blind ability it won't make much sense if they are immune to things like Aurora beam just because they can't see it.

I'd like rare types. Ones that only a few Pokemon get or are even just moves. If Ultra Necrozama was the only light type Pokemon I'd be ok with that

Maybe the creation trio be retconneced so each one has a completely unique type

Dark types resist all light-based moves, this is treated as an additional type to the move in this case (ala Flying Press). They are also immune to the effects of targeted non-damaging light-based moves.

Light based moves ignore the effects of Light Screen and Reflect.

New Dark type move: Enveloping Darkness. The user summons a darkness that covers the battlefield. Light-based moves have their accuracy halved and Dark types gain a 50% boost to Speed.
New ability: Nightbringer (casts Enveloping Darkness when entering battle).

New Fairy type move: Denderwaz. The user summons a bright light that covers the battlefield. Light based moves deal 50% more damage, and Dark types have their speed lowered by 33%.
New ability: Dawnbringer (casts Denderwaz when entering battle).

Considering all color and light properties Dark should receive super effective from a Light type if any

Then again Dark isn't based on literal darkness, it's about being mean

Dark and Ghost should be vulnerable to light if anything. They're creatures of the night. Other than Lunala I'd imagine they'd all be disoriented by a sudden flash of light.

Necrozma gets Morning Sun/Moonlight as a Lv1 move via the Move Reminder. Although it doesn't get Dazzling Gleam which is fucking retarded. I know it's more specifically called something like Magical Light in Japanese, but Xurkitree gets it despite being far less supernatural.

Possible ability:
Absorbant
Restores HP if hit by a Light-based move, instead of taking damage.

If the Pokemon absorbs too much light (move would've OHKO'd), Pokemon is inflicted with a burn.

If anything you could make a pokemon with a cristaline body immune to light based moves making him restore health or let them take damage but have their Sp.atk or Sp. def increaced every time they are hit by a light move.
Or we could use refraction and make it an ability that works like counter but only for light based moves. Reflecting damage and status modifiers.

I just wanted to remind the thread that sound isn't the only subcategory of moves, there's also "powder" and Grass types as well as Pokemon with overcoat and Pokemon holding Safety Goggles are immune to.

Logically the only type that should be immune or resistant to light-based moves is Steel. Do we really want that?
