>>47563939I've said it before but Light missed its moment now that fairies exist. There are already light moves in the game and it doesn't have to be attached to holiness. Just literal light. Flash, Tail Glow, Signal Beam, Aurora Beam, Double Team, Swift, Solar Beam, Morning Sun, Moonlight, etc. could all be light type attacks. Moves that generate lasers, holograms, or hard light constructs would be light. Light-type pokemon would generate Light, like Lanturn, Starmie, Ampharos, Volbeat, Luxray, etc.
Lightning would still be Electric, Flames and Heat would still be Fire, Illusions, Telekinesis, and Telepathy would still be Psychic, but now that Fairy is a thing I can't justify it in my head anymore.
There is no actual elemental difference between moves like Dragon Tail and Tail Whip, or Mega Horn and Horn Attack, or Brave Bird or Take Down, or Night Slash and Slash since most of the elements in Pokemon are poorly defined to begin with so I don't why people get vehemently mad when it gets brought up.
To say Light is the same thing as Fire, Fairy, Psychic, and Electric is like saying Green Lantern's hard light constructs or Superman's laser vision is the same powerset as the Human Torch, Black Lightning, Emma Frost, and Doctor Strange
If they wanted to make a Light-type now they could still do it but i don't see a reason for it in a post-Fairy-type world
