>Normal has no identity
What does that even mean? It's normal that is the whole point!

>>51016896
What would they even bring to the table? They add absolutely nothing and wouldnt even work. The types we have are things something could be. You can be water, fire, fairy, rocks, etc. But you cant be light nor sound. So it just fucks everything up.

They’re honestly no more retarded than ground and rock or ice and water being separate. The real problem is we have WAY too many types.

Admittedly exploud is a bad fit for normal, but its like 10 pokemon lines at most that would be clasified as sound type

Light-type could have worked perfectly fine had it been introduced a lot sooner or from the start. Most monster collecting, TCG, or (J)RPG franchises have a 'Holy'/'Sacred'/'Light' type thing.

Fairy was overtuned. I know we debate it to death but I'd say Fairy should no longer resist Bug and should be resisted by Psychic. It's a very minor nerf but I think that's better than going whole hog on nerfing it into the ground.

>>51017134
Nah, Psychic-types are just the psychics you'll find in literally every franchise ever. They can read minds, move stuff with their mind, tell fortunes, read palms, conjure mental force fields, etc. Fairy-types are just a group of creatures with an energy signature that's unique enough to warrant its own distinct classification (this is coming from a lore angle). They're just Fairy-type.

And they could still easily be folded into one type. Ice types probably wouldn’t be so shit anymore. Also, ice’s weaknesses don’t make any sense if they are based on cold instead of physical ice. This has always been one of my gripes with the type. If ice were actually the “cold” type, it wouldn’t be weak to fighting or steel. They would probably be weak to it instead actually, since cold is bad for athletes and makes steel brittle

Not at all what he was saying at all, but it’s still worth mentioning that if ice were actually the cold type, ice melting in water wouldn’t matter. Cold makes water turn into ice, so cold should be super effective against water. It isn’t though, because gamefreak actually thinks ice type is about physical ice first and foremost.

No, but it could be a water/flying Pokémon that specializes in frozen water attacks. See: any other rpg that folds water and ice into one element. In this version of Pokémon, ice shard, for example, would be a water move because an ice shard is a shard of frozen water. It’s not that much of a mental leap, you’re just being retarded. Not all water Pokémon are aquatic animals either. Is urshifu aquatic?

The type chart is in desperate need of rebalancing. Ice, grass, and bug are generally garbage types to poses. Way too many rock+ground types and that should be fused anyway. Grass and bug are hardly different enough to be separate types.

One of them (ice) would be culled from the type chart. All ice mons and moves would become water type but distribution would not change. Some ice moves would be granted a freeze dry-like secondary effect to make up for some lost coverage. This is more of a “I wish it had always been this way” rather than something I wish they would do now, though. A better solution would be to just rework ice’s weaknesses and resistances and lean more into the thermal-kinesis side of things

This. There seems to always be some kind of Light/Holy/Angelic element type thing. I've even seen it in Western cartoons such as He-Man or W.I.T.CH. or shows and movies like Touched by an Angel or Bless the Child.

Bug, dragon, and flying are such silly ideas for types, but we’ve all become so accustomed to them that it doesn’t feel off. If they had added light (holy) back in gen 2 but there had never been a bug type, I seriously doubt anyone would be making threads saying shit like “bugs should have their own element brehs.” But I kind of like leaning into it. Give me dog type or food type or something. I’m sure you could make fun type interactions out of either of those.

imo the chart's already good as is. Cosmic is already filled by Psychic most of the time (or by Fairy in the case of the Clefairy line). Sound is already covered by sound-based moves and I don't see any viable weaknesses or strengths to it. Light is the one you could make an excuse, but I think the way it's now with it basically being Fairy is ok by me.
And removing types is just dumb. Having the type diversity it has is one of the key things that makes Pokémon unique from other RPGs. Most of the types that are here, even uncontroversial ones like Fighting, would be unthinkable in other RPGs. But I think having these weird types like Bug or Dragon is what makes Pokémon unique. Plus, with >900 creatures, having <10 types is just ludicrous.

The anon you're replying to has some points I agree with, but I also agree with your take. Bugs just have way too much odd shit going on to be something like, say, Normal-type. I mean, how do you even classify a spider web move without Bug-type? Plus, imagine giving said spider web move to a Normal-type like Sentret.

I’d say there is a good bit of overlap, especially in the moves which is what I think is the most important part. Earthquake would be fine in either type, for example. Most of the Pokémon would be fine in a type called “earth.”

The idea sounds really fuckin dumb on paper but when you actually examine it there are oddly a lot of mons that have elastic properties.

Some other ideas: elastic materials obviously stretch meaning they have very high tear resistance, and the idea of punches just bouncing/sliding right off a Rubber Type is pretty intuitive so Rubber would resist Fighting.

The internet tells me rubber resists water. I guess what it means is like how rubber gloves don't let water through, so it could resist Water I guess.

Trubbish is supposed to be a "dust bunny" hence the tied garbage bag "ears" but this aspect of its design got lost in English. That's also why Garbodor has "ears". It's supposed to be ironic, dust bunnies are supposed to be small household filth but Garbodor collected so much debris it is literally a trash monster

Hey losers, for anyone who thinks there are not enough Pokemon that fit into sound type, I've compiled a list of mons who are themed around noise, vibrations, or frequencies.
The majority of these were mono-typed before but for the ones that were dual-typed, I thought there was a significant amount of info in their dex entries about sound to fit them into this type, for ex: Seismatoad's gimmick is to create vibrations using lumps on its body to create earthquake like tremors. Noibat and Noivern are self explanatory and the Kommo-o line's whole thing is creating clanging noise using its scales.

The list goes:

Bellossom (Grass, Sound)
Politoed (Water, Sound)
Whismur, Loudred, Exploud (Sound)
Dusknoir (Ghost/Sound)
Misdreavus, Mismagius (Sound/Ghost)
Chatot (Sound/Flying)
Milotic (Water/Sound)
Kricketot, Kricketune (Sound/Bug)
Chingling, Chimecho (Sound/Psychic)
Audino (Sound)
Maractus (Sound/Grass)
Seismitoad line (Water, Sound)
Noibat, Noivern (Sound/Dragon)
Meloetta (Sound/Psychic)/(Sound/Fighting)
Pyroar (Fire/Sound)
Glossifleur, Eldegoss (Grass/Sound)
Toxtricity Amped (Sound/Electric)
Toxtricity Low Key Form (Sound/Poison)
Hakamo-o, Kommo-o (Dragon/Sound)
Rillaboom line (Grass/Sound)

This may not seem like a lot but keep in mind when Fairy first started out it only retyped 22 preexisting Pokemon

Y'know what that's actually a much better list than what most people provide for Sound Types. I've never heard anyone suggest Sound for Milotic or Dusknoir but that makes sense.

I will only complain about one thing which is something literally everyone gets wrong for Sound Type: The Seismitoad line shouldn't be it. I understand Timpole is based on a music-based Japanese pun and is many to look like it has headphones, so it should totally get a Sound split evo. It doesn't work for Seismitoad, Seismitoad uses vibration to cause earthquakes. It doesn't have any connection to sound at all, just vibration. I know sound is vibration but honestly Seismitoad has nothing to do with sound waves at all, just earth tremors.

NTA, but Necrozma, Lunala, and Solgaleo might be Psychic-type due to their extraterrestrial origins rather than due to their association with light. Deoxys, Elgyem, Lunatone, Solrock, and Cresselia also show that this might be their go-to typing to represent objects and creatures from space. There's also the space theming that they gave to Olympia and Liza and Tate having family ties to a space center.

I like to think of bug and dragon as being more than just the physical characteristics
types can honestly mostly be split into the physical characteristics of an attack (nothing/normal, water, plants, air, rocks/ground, metal), extra physical characteristics (it burns, it freezes, it shocks, it poisons), and the "energy" of an attack, which are esper/psychic, pixie magic/fairy, evil/dark, lifeforce/ki, deathforce/ghostly, swarm/bug, and draconic.
a light/holy type would actually fit really well in this scheme.
but think of all of those energy powers as having a counterpart. bug's is dragon. bug types all have a sort of instinctual and ancestral drive, even if some of them compete with their fellow, to think of the good of the species at all times in a way that is incomprehensible to other creatures, whereas dragons are the opposite and always think about themselves. dragons always strive to get stronger and stronger. whereas most pokemon species are fine not evolving all the way (you can imagine most, say, pikachu never evolve, and each forest might only have a few raichu at all, ruling from deep inside), all dragons, even the weak ones, always try to get stronger at any cost, which is evidenced by the fact that dragon is strong on dragon

As it currently stands, there doesn't need to be any new types nor does any of the existing ones need to be removed. If you want to see a reduction of the number of types and what those types would be combined to, look at the TCG.
The type chart does need a rebalance and some Pokémon could benefit from having their typing changed, but that's very few if any.
Light could work, but more as an opposition to Shadow Pokémon rather than it's own type. (See Orre games & TCG.)
Sound and Cyber are the next most likely, but the reasoning and implementation for them to be types are shaky at best.
Many Pokémon that would be Sound-type are already non-Normal dual types such as Noivern, Primarina, and Toxtricity, which would cause potential problems unless their abilities would be reworked to be given a Sound-type Steelworker. I say having sound just be a move property is good enough.
Cyber is better off as a concept that falls into the Electric or Normal types depending on context as with the only existing Pokémon most likely to be Cyber are the Porygon line and the unconfirmed, but very likely to be part Electric Miraidon.

There's also Typeless, ???-type, and a hypothetical "All" type.
Typeless and ??? are essentially the same with ??? used in special cases until Gen IV and Typeless still existing in the case of Struggle's type calculation and the use of Burn Up from a pure Fire-type. (Why doesn't Burn Up work like Roost and convert to Normal, I don't know.) I could see ???-type coming back if a new mechanic requires its use.
For an "All" type or a type that consists of more than 2 types, we do have the Arceus exclusive "Full-Plate" and "Eleven-Plate" types from Battrio and the Legend Plate from Legends Arceus, but all three just change Arceus's type in certain situations. At this point, I doubt we'll ever get something that counts as having all types simultaneously.

So people always try to say Psychic covers cosmic stuff already and that is 100% true, but also irrelevant. That's like saying if Ice Type didn't exist back in Gen I that it couldn't exist because "Water covers it already". It just doesn't matter, there is no reason they can't divorce Psychic from it's cosmic themes if the creators feel like it, especially because it would be great for marketing and it is fucking absurd how thematically broad Psychic is. There's plenty of room to do split them, Psychic's pre-existing cosmic schtick really doesn't prevent anything at all.

The other thing people often say is "Cosmic doesn't make sense as a Type, cosmic is just a location", but these folk misunderstand the idea behind Cosmic. Just compare it to Water Type. "In the water" is also just a location but that's not really what Water Type is or what Cosmic is. The main thing that DEFINES Water Type is they have an affinity for water and ability to use Water Type moves. Some aquatic-dwelling mons are not Water Type, some mons are Water Type but not aquatic.

So what Cosmic REALLY would be is an affinity for the cosmos and the ability to in some way manipulate spatial forces, or to draw power from the stars, or manipulate space-time etc. Cosmic is "star power abilities" or cosmic affinity, basically. In this way, it's perfectly fine that none of the Ultra Beasts would be Cosmic Type because none of them actually have cosmic-based elemental affinity. And yeah I get it, I KNOW that "elemental power of the cosmos" is super goddamn vague, but that is the point, no? They have mysterious enigmatic cosmic powers beyond our reconditioning. Cosmic Type can easily work in the games, it being a little bit "out there" certainly doesn't hurt the idea.

Should flying and wind be separate types? Flying is a theme/fighting style, while wind is an element, currently the type encompasses both. It would be kind of like rock/ground, where rock is something pokemon can be made out of, but ground is a theme/area that the pokemon fights in. Of course, that would also mean that the distinction between pokemon that live in water and pokemon that are made of water could also be addressed, which would be way more messy.

I think you took them TOO literally instead of imagining them as sources of ideas. I don't think that anon was talking about a literal human marching band. That example would probably be more like some kind of, say, multi-forme bug with appendages that shape and/or function and/or sound like different marching band instruments, and they always hang out in groups of five or something.

You're not going to abolish the normal type. Are you seriously going to retcon Snorlax to sound type? Are you retarded?

They're still dumb ideas that don't fit Pokemon's sense of aesthetics or design.

You could apply this same logic with Psychic, Fairy or Dark. What animal qualifies for these are pretty ambiguous and even many of elemental type mons like fire or electric don't really have animals that specifically fit them either.

>Only effective to itself
