My question is what regions of Japan do you think they could use?
And just for fun, what geographical region on the planet Earth would you like to see in Pokemon?

Let's head down to Okinawa!! Swamps, beaches, and tropical forests filled with beasts, reptiles and amphibians-- sounds like a perfect spot. :D

Well Kanto/Johto cover the biggest centers of Honshu, Hoen did Kyushu and Sinnoh went up to Hokkaido. Let's head out farther out next!

Or maybe they could do the hiroshima/okayama area.
 
The desert had mountains on two sides in Hoenn. Moist air would have trouble getting over the mountains to either side thereby creating the desert that you need Go-Goggles to enter in RSE, but not on Route 226, for some reason.

That's actually probably what you'd expect. If it were ever winter in Hoenn, I'd bet it'd flood when the snow melted.

And there will be absolutely no sound type because it would make 0 impact on the game.

Lol what? It can make a a impact on the game. I could see sound being SE against steel and others:
Attacking SE:
Steel
Bug
Psychic
Water

Defensive SE:
Flying
Psychic
Normal (for the lols)

NVE:
Rock
Flying
Electric

Not Effected:
Ground

Resists:
Steel
Electric

I think those make sense(I think it being NVE against Electric and it resisting electric is a cool little twist)

Here are some possible types I've been seeing or I can think of:
Light (of course)
Sound
Wood
Space (I don't think that one makes much sense)
Virus
Void
Artificial

Edit: Wow I didn't realize how much that screws over all the psychic/steel types, lol.

Edit2: Make ice resist dragon, then we're playing with a totally different metagame(possibly too different lol)
 
people, as stated earlier, dark type is a mistranslation of evil type so, sorry no light type, also the "opposite" even though you don´t need one would be in fighting, remember how the good guys kick the bad guys asses well kinda that i guess...
No new types probably since type chart is "balanced" nintendo´s metagame is at least so they won´t change that, also it has been stated by them a long long time ago

Keywords: long time ago.

The way they're talking now, they going to change something that impacts the game in a big way. When I hear the words "rebirth", "revolution", and "change" I think anything is game.

yeah i have been wondering about that "rebirth" of the series, probably just a marketing tactic :P if there is a new type it would be good but yeah, i don´t think there will be so far, VGC is fairly balanced so they have no need to do it
 
Just putting this out there...

There should be a legendary pokemon in B/W unlockable by catching all 28 Unown forms.

Back when I first played Silver, I didn't know Celebi was an event pokemon, so I thought it's unlocked by catching all the Unown forms. Imagine my surprise when nothing happened. Sure, in Hg/Ss you get some items and some stupid quotes, but considering that the Ruin of Alphs have such a kickass music theme, I really hope my catching that 28 Unowns actually go to some use.

Yeah, they seem so important in the movies you'd think they'd unlock something cool right?
 
Actually I think Flying & Normal & Psychic are being pushed to much. Especially Flying. Sample:

Flying: Drifloon/Rayquaza/Gyarados(Though Gyarados makes a little sense)
Normal: Porygon
Psychic: not really an example...

I mean look at all of them. Drifloon, sure it can 'fly' but seriously is it really like a bird (what flying was meant to be I guess). Porygon normal? Cmon! Electric even makes more sense >.>.

To really make up with those three types these three would be far better:
Air & Sound and Light.

Yeah yeah. Flame me for the use of Sound and Light. But looki here:

Air:
Natu line
Hoppip line
Rayquaza
Drifloon line
All make far more sense being Air type than Flying agreed?

Sound:
Jigglypuff line
Whismur line
Skitty line
Chingling line
Chatot

All (Except maybe the Skitty line) Would rather have Sound than Normal, or atleast Sound as secundairy type (Except Chatot who's normal type would be replaced with Sound then).

Light:
Cleffa line
Staryu line
Ralts line (Minus Gallade who gets fighting instead of light)
Solrock
Lunatune
(Not likely) Lati@s
Cresselia

And moves...

Air:
Aeroblast
Air cutter
Air slash
Defog
Gust
Tail wind
Razor Wind
Whirlwind

Sound:
Belly Drum
Encore
Follow me
Growl
Heal bell
Howl
Hyper voice
Perish song
Roar
Screech
Sing
Snore
Sonic boom
Super sonic
Teeter Dance
Uproar

Light:
Wish
Swift
Safeguard
Reflect
Light screen
Recover
Odor Sleuth
Moonlight
Morning Sun
Growth
Cosmic Power
Future Sight
Gravity
Healing Wish
Hearth Swap
Lunar dance
Magic coat
Mirror coat
Trick room
 
There won't be new types. They are either going to fuck this up badly or make a totally new game... either way its not looking good if you enjoy the older generations...
 
I've said time and time again that we don't need a light type in specific, but after seeing all other ideas for new types it is easy to see why people keep requesting Light. Sound sucks. I don't mean to offend, but it really does. It's not interesting at all. Light on the other hand is as common an element in games as Dark is. The only other really old classical element that's been left out of Pokemon is Void, but Giratina is based on that and he's ghost type so there ya go.
 
I never thought I'd be making such a troll-ish statement, but seriously, all the new-type comments (I've been trying to ignore them but they're at annoying levels now), lacking even the slightest relevance to the current game, current information (and from what I can tell looking over last 3 pages, lacking any relevance to common sense too) seem to have degraded to little more than fanboyish drivel . . .
 
i am not the kind of guy who say this often around the forums but i cant stand this anymore, all those retarded types you guys have being talking about is making me sick, so what if gamefreak said it will have a new awesome thing? you guys really expect then to add shit like light or SOUND? how STUPID is that?! even light type is retarded and we dont reallly need one right now, dark is the USA name while evil is the original name, so if you guys want a light type then there should have a GOOD type right?! since evil=dark so good=light, i am pretty damn sure gamefreak want a GOOD type! i am sorry for sounding like a complete jerk but this discussion about new types becomed almost retarded. ok maybe not retarded but fanboyish at minimun since you guys have at least being TRYING to make sense when talking about those types. (also lol at the artificial type, this one deserve a special mention)

QFT
 
What would sound even be super effective aginst? Dragons? No. Steels? No. Thats stupid. You can't break metal with sound and Dragons would fear it as much as any other creature.
They should set the next game in Britain and you would walk through boring nearly empty towns, everything would be grey and it would rain all the time. A bit like red/blue except that had no rain.
 
There's nothing to discuss so we're speculating/wishing here, what the hell do you want us to do? Just let this thread die until Nintendo throws us a new bone?
Just sod off and don't read this thread until there's new info.

And on the subjects of types, there's something wrong with you if you think the current chart is balanced.
And on the subject of Light type, in my opinion it will happen and the poster boy for White version will be a Light type.

Yes I'm sure sense is the one thing that would stop them from adding a new type.
Not. If you can explain to me how punching steel is super-effective then go ahead.

And hurray for the second idea!
 
Obviously the line has been drawn. War has now started between the New Type Advocates and Negatives. Much blood will be spilled before this is all over, and only one group will survive.

Oh wait, this is the internet.

The argument will never die. :/
 
the type chart is not balanced but not a giant piece of shit has people people think, dragon is overpowered and poison is horrible, but besides that there is not a lot and this can be fixed with easy so there is no need for a new type, there is a certain extend to what point a discussion can go until people start to give fanboyish ideas, does a artificial type or sound type would ever be useful? i mean serious, just because they are some moves that are based around sound we should have a complete new type for then? come on now, gamefreak can do better then this.

And steel. Steel is ridiculous, just look at how many of them are OU to see this. This metagame is basically centralized on steel and dragons.

I think both need some nerfan, and poison needs an offensive buff. Defensively it's actually not horrible at all, and it does have TSpikes...

I agree that sound and artificial sound kinda silly, but then again so does steel. And dragon. And ghost.
Light type is a classic though, I can't believe Pokemon doesn't have it.
 
steel dont sound silly at all, neither does dragon OR ghost because they all make sense, steel resist a lot of shit because steel in real life is VERY hard to break, dragons are creatures that existed(already comfirmed) a long time ago, they could fly(check wings), split fire from the mouth and were pretty darn big, ghosts are the ones that are already dead and have no physical form, this explains why fighting and normal moves have no effect but the light type is not classic at all, just because this type might exist in some random RPG like final fantasy then it should also exist in pokemon only because it would sound cool since we have a dark type and everything? we dont need a new type made only to make the type chart look more cute. on a side note i want you to remember dragon cant be nerfed because it got a small but precise balance, it hit a lot of shit neutral, resisted by steel and hit SE on other dragons, if you nerf this then it will be tied for normal for worst atacking type, on the defensive it only resist 4 types while being weak to 2 very common ones.
 
I think some alterations could be made to the type chart, just no new types.

Some possible changes would be:

Grass neutral against Flying, Poison, Bug and Dragon. That way it still resists itself, Steel keeps it in its resistance collection, and the starter triangle is still intact, but Grass becomes an actually usable offensive type. Grass should also lose its Bug and Flying weaknesses - neither of them make sense at all, and five weaknesses is waay too many,

Psychic gets another SE hit. Flying maybe?

Poison SE on Water and something else.

And that's about it. I've avoided nerfing Dragon and Steel, because if you try to make a type even just a bit worse, it can become near-useless. Dragon is currently SE on one thing and NVE on one thing, while Steel has a shitload of resistances, but three very big weaknesses, and it's shit offensively.

Just my two cents on the whole type-chart thing.
