Pokemon X/Y

My argument against Flying applies to Bug as well.

Ah, you got me.

Now you've made me eager to see what this supposed "new type" will be.

[Neosquid]

I'm eager too. I'm betting against light, but I lack any amazing reasoning. I'll give you it anyway.

• Too obvious
• Kinda random at this point. I feel like there has to be a reason for a new type appearing instead of it just popping out of the blue. GSC had an excuse, being the second games in the series. This is part of why I think it may be related to genetic engineering, as that would be related to story elements.

EDIT: Wait, you're betting against Light?

[Neosquid]

Well, that too, I guess. Light typing could be considered too similar to other types, like Electric and Psychic.

The thing I like about my genetic engineering theory is, not only does it tie in the the likely themes of X and Y, but the Pokemon with the type don't have to look super different then the Pokemon we have already. One could argue that Light typing would require too many previous Pokemon to adopt said type, such as Lanturn, Ampharos, Volbeat, etc. A type created via genetic engineering would only apply to maybe Mewtwo and Genesect. Deoxys isn't genetically engineered by humans, it's just mutated.

This is why I don't want a new type to be introduced. It makes it too complicated for the other Pokemon, if they change.

And if they don't change then I don't even know what'll happen.

What would be the difference between that and Psychic?

A shitton of things. What does good/physical properties of light have t' do with psychokinesis 'n other such mental powers?

Maybe.......Bug?

lolno

The hell does genetic engineering have t' do with XY... ?

Also, the excuse for GS t' introduce new types wasn't just bein' the second game in the series, t'was for balancing purposes. Both Steel 'n especially Dark were meant to hamper the overpowered Psychic types of RBY.

Speakin' of balancing, Water types need t' stop bein' so damn good... Poison types need a buff too. Why they don't yet hit super-effective both Normal and especially Fighting confuses me deeply.

No, definitely not. Steel 'n Dark improved the game's balance wholly. We've been over this. A new type won't destroy anythin' unless Game Freak literally does a terrible job balancing it, stop with the logic-lacking "do not want new type" talk.

There's theories involving X and Y being related to genetics. I find it likely.

That too!

Poison should be super effective against water. It makes sense (pollution), and it would help solve both problems.

[Tragonight]

Wouldn't it make sense either way?

Water could wash away Poison, making it super effective against it.

Everything about it's many names have to do with fairies
I say this makes it seem Normal type like Clefairy
