Magnemite and Magneton didn't stop them from making steel. They just retconned that. Again, I'm not saying I even think there will be a new type (I'd lean towards probably not just because they haven't shown any interest in doing so in a long time), but the idea that just because certain types of moves or species names, etc. already exist probably doesn't mean much. Again, I feel like that's being a bit too literal and hard-line for a series that clearly isn't either of those things (I mean, they added baby pokemon to species of pokemon that you could already hatch from an egg, and just worked their way around that--if they do that, I feel like they could do anything, lol).
