>>48203733What is the point?
We are beyond 90s GameBoy coding. A single move can be specifically coded to have special matchups (Flying Press Freeze Dry).
OR an ability can become so common that it becomes a subtype (Dry Skin).
The main issue is that (You) thought of an ATTACK type and equated that to mean that it can also be a complete type.
No.
Most move in real life would be neutral, hence they don't make sense as a type.
Wind is neutral...
Light is neutral...
Sound is mostly neutral...
Sand is neutral...
For a type to exist it must describe a completely different SPECIES, not an ATTACK.
Fairy serves its purpose almost fine, but light wouldn't add anything.
If you are designing a new game, then I suggest that you split SPECIES types(plants, bugs, beasts, fae) from attack types(light, sound, poison, heat)
