If Pokemon added a new type, what would you like that type to be? What should its type effectiveness be?

Sound would definitely be supereffective against steel and water. Not only are they some of the best types in the game, but it fits thematically too. Ghost and grass should probably resist it, not necessarily balance wise but just because sound wouldn't really do much to them no matter the volume.

Do you have any actual reasoning for these type matchups or are you just retarded?

Ok
>Dragon
Royalty being kidnapped by Dragons
>Dark
Dark being super effective because they backstab royalty, but would be weak to Regal as well since kings are religious
>Poison
Royalty being poisoned
>Ice
Harsh winters and kingdoms rarely being established in cold areas
>Fire
Kingdoms would often be burned down when the invaders were done during the assault
>Ground
Land expansion
>Grass
Agriculture expansion
>Water
Harbors and settling by rivers to use
>Fighting
Soldiers would not attack their kings but kings can’t do shit to soldiers by themselves either
>Fairy
Outlawing magic
>Steel
Like with fighting, a king can’t do shit against an armored knight
>Psychic
Psychics representing king’s advisors, jesters, and stories about kings trying to change future predictions but failing to do so
>Electric
Kingdoms having been left behind in an era of new inventions

I'd like a Shadow type but it wouldn't work like a normal type. It would work like the GC games but instead of punishing you for keeping them shadow mons you could choose to go for shadow mons. Ideally some pokemon would have unique designs like Lugia, but I wouldn't mind it working like in the GC games/GO.

I won't be able to exactly repost what I said earlier in another thread way back when, but I'll paraphrase. If and when they introduce another type, which they probably will, it is not going to be something like Sound or Light or whatever. Most of the element/monster categories are covered so whatever the next type has to be needs to be something that opens up the door to new concepts and gameplay mechanics. Anything else that people suggest typically does not do that. We have sound as a property of moves and it would require retyping far too many Pokemon, more than fairy for sure, and just seems like more trouble than it's worth. Plus if you're going to argue for the sound type, outside of maybe fixing the type chart what else does it really do as far as Pokemon designs
or conventions? Steel, Dark and even Fairy opened the door to new types of Pokemon that we had not before they existed. Yes, some things got retyped, but looking at the Pokemon you've gotten since I think they make a lot more sense being the newer type than they would one of the classic 15. Even Fairy types I feel have started to strongly represent their own identity and it would be hard to conceptualize them as something like normal or psychic without changing what they are. Personally I think moving forward there's only really 3 options that they could use to bring a new type into the games:
>Reintroduce shadow type or similar concept, which works more as a gimmick to create Shadow / whatever versions of already existing Pokemon who follow different rules but are still "a new type"
>An actual new type that is currently covered by none or very few currently existing Pokemon, which would open the door to new design concepts. My mind goes to stuff like Digital type or Saint type, types that would really not make sense for many of the Pokemon we have now but work for new ideas
>Redoing the type chart from the ground up, which means altering them all drastically

Shadow type is a weak bland concept

"Digital and Saint", retarded

The last one is alright.
But the reasons why Sound and Light wouldn't happen are also retarded. You literally just said "it's too much work". Lol.
No, it's not, and it's not for Gamefreak. They also aren't covered at all, since PSYCHIC can't fucking be light and FAIRY can't be light either, they're supposed to be psychics and fairies. While sound is just normal.
Also, they haven't covered all fairy Pokemon to make them fairies, like celebi, illumise, Volbeat, Jirachi, etc. So I don't see why they should be so precise this time around

Obsidian Slice 100 90%
10% chance to flinch

Tempered spear 80 100%

Existing lore/designs that fit the type:
Crystal Onix, Chandelure, Carbink, Diancie, Necrozma,

Rather than thinking of what types should be added, think about new ideas for Pokemon that aren't already covered by any of the other types.
Otherwise, you end up with tacked-on and unnecessary bullshit like sound type or fairy type.
