>>36362604Not that anon, but back in gen 4, I made a fakedex and added the light type.
The concept was literal light as well as energy. There was also a sub concept of good/holy as a counterpart to Dark. Think of a paladin or priest in an rpg but without any overt religious undertones.
retyped pokemon would include Sunflora grass/light, Lanturn water/light (there's no mention of electricity in its dex entries), Absol dark/light, and Volbeat bug/light.
No attacks would be retyped, but stuff like flash would. New moves included Glow ray, a weak starting move, Photon Blast, a late game move, and Phase Out, a special version of Dragon Dance.
For type machups, I wanted to balance the types a bit. it would be weak to Steel and Poison as they had few types they were SE against (exactly what Fairy turned out to be coincidentally). Steel would reflect the light and the "pureness" of light types would be tainted by poison. Dark and Light would be super effective against each other. Ice would resist it and Grass would be immune.
there are other types I imagined it would mach with, but couldn't decide exactly how. Possibly strong against Ghosts and some relation with Bug.
At the time I think it could have worked as its own type despite moves like Signal Beam or Solar Beam. However, at this point I don't think it's really possible. If Necrozma, a being of pure light, wouldn't be light type, then I don't think they'll ever add it. It could definitely be retyped (maybe Solgaleo and Lunala as well), but GF doesn't seem to like retyping legends.
