Serpyro - Aqua Fire Pokemon
Serpyro's outer membrane is made of a substance similar to a bubble, and is able to hold a burning fire inside, while still being 100% underwater.
(It's a serpent thing, kinda like Eelektrik, but half orange and half blue with a kind of "glowing" middle, like a fire.)

Moveset:
Ember, Bubble, Leer,
Wrap, Will 'o' Wisp, Aqua Ring,
Whirlpool, Agility, Fire Spin,
Hydro Pump, Flamethrower, Bubbling Flare (special move)*

*Bubbling Flare-
Is a Fire-Type attack, but provides a same-type attack bonus for both Water and Fire, and is powered up by Water items like Mystic Water as well as Fire items like Charcoal.

Space type. We have a good amount of Pokemon from Space as it is.

You'd have to change a bunch of pokemon...that would just be confusing.

Not necessarily, in Gen II, the Magnemite got Steel typing and Bite turned to Dark type. Then again the weakness and such would need to be fixed.

[pacack825]

That was to balance out the psychic type that was only weak against itself. We don't need anything to balance stuff out now, and the pokemon that we've had for years now will suddenly change. This has a HUGE chance of having negative repercussions. Besides, technically, we're from space too since we're on a planet. Same with pokemon. Just because a pokemon is from space doesn't mean that it's amazingly different. Look at deoxys. It's from space and is quite similar to mewtwo in all honesty.

[YourPermanentRecord631]

True, yes but though pokedex entries aren't relevant, Elgym, Lunatone, and Solrock came from space and then came to Earth. Heck, we don't even know Klink's existence besides suddenly showing up in Chargestone Cave. Guess the Psychic type could relate to a galactic feel or something=p

[pacack825]

The pokemon's types have to do with their special powers. A dragon is one that's a bit of an oddball, but dragon types have powers that are known to be rather unique still. More powerful than most pokemon and all whatnot. Seeing as though we have no need to add them and the system we have now works, there's no real need to do anything to it.

[LightSuicune]

Maybe Light type! Thats all I can think of. If we have to many types... it would be to difficult!

[Crimson Penguin]

That was to balance out the psychic type that was only weak against itself.

Psychic has never been weak against itself, unless you're saying that only Psychic-types could stand up to other Psychics. The only type Psychic was weak to in Gen 1 was Bug, which didn't work well, because there were hardly any offensive Bug moves and most Bug-types were part Poison anyway. Ghost-types were supposed to be supereffective as well, but due to a programming glitch, Ghost moves were made completely ineffective (and again, there were very few Ghost moves and the only Ghost family was part Poison).

As others have said, Dark and Steel were only introduced to combat the blatantly broken Psychic-types. I personally think a Light-type would be cool, but if Game Freak were to have done something like that, they should have implemented it in Gen 2 or 3, because with hundreds of Pokemon and moves now, they'd have to change a huge number of things to make it work. And apparently it would cause a large number of fans to get really p***ed off.

[pacack825]

Psychic moves were what I was talking about :P I knew that.

[Ti4558]

How about a fusion type for reshiram and zekrom. Also I think it would be cool to have a crystal type that would be as rare as getting shiny pokemon.

[Endolise]

How about a fusion type for reshiram and zekrom.

I've actually toyed around with the possibility that, if they ever introduced the Original Dragon, it could have a unique, one-time-only "Plasma" typing to a) tie in with the whole "plasma" theme of Gen V and b) to represent the fusion of fire and lightning (both of which are forms of plasma). Well, technically speaking, I'd suggest that it be a Dragon/Plasma type and that the Plasma typing be resistant to Dragon and Ice type moves (albeit hitting nothing (except maybe Dragon) for super-effectiveness (wouldn't want to make it too broken, now would we?)), thereby giving it no weaknesses, which I think would be fitting.

Also I think it would be cool to have a crystal type that would be as rare as getting shiny pokemon.

That's actually an interesting idea and, if executed, I'd be interested in seeing how it played out mechanically.

[AquaWarrior]

Sound could work, or maybe Cosmic, or in theory Nuclear even.

Sound actually wouldn't be that bad of an idea.

The Whismer line would definitely fit in there.

[Poliwhirl'sMittens]

I don't think there should be any change since we're so far into the series that it would just make chaos but I would have liked to see some more weakness/resistance revising in gen 2.

Some possible examples: ice super effective against water (since ice freezes water), water super effective against steel (since water causes metal to rust), etc.

The fire typing seriously needs some reworking though.

I guess things are fine the way it is though (since I'm too used to it lol)....But it took 5 generations for me to realized that ice isn't super effective against bug times >.>

I also wish Blastoise was part steel :3

[Bolt the Cat]

Also, about the poison needing more strengths, if you gave poison a strength against anything that poison would beat easily, you would have to make it super effective to normal, flying, bug, water, and grass. Because normal animals are hurt by poison, birds are often the victims of accidental poisonings, bugs because...come on...insecticides kill bugs, water because fish and whatnot are killed by poison, and grass is already there because of when a plant is in contaminated soil or something, it will die too. See what I mean? It would be kind of overpowered.

Good point, actually. Still, they should at least do something, having one single type advantage and one as common as Grass isn't very balanced. I'd say Normal, Water, or Fighting are good candidates. Flying and Bug have too many weaknesses already.

I think they need to make a poison type legendary already, though. Think about it...the one type that doesn't have a legendary pokemon.

If you don't count Arceus, that is.

Not necessarily, in Gen II, the Magnemite got Steel typing and Bite turned to Dark type. Then again the weakness and such would need to be fixed.

Here's why they could afford to do that in 2nd gen but not now. There's were only 151 Old Pokemon and maybe 100-200 old moves. Not that much by modern standards. So only changing a few of those moves which happen to fit the new types better would've been a fairly easy fix. But nowadays, there's just way too many Pokemon and moves to think about. There's also another issue. Magnemite was an easy fix because it was pure Electric in 1st gen. Making it Steel type was as easy as tacking it on as a secondary typing. But there are so many more dual types nowadays that many of them would have to lose one of their types in order to add a new type, and that's a decision I think they'd want to avoid. So it'd just be way too much of a hassle to add a new type. The types we have are fine, it's the weaknesses and resistances that might need some retooling.

I've actually toyed around with the possibility that, if they ever introduced the Original Dragon, it could have a unique, one-time-only "Plasma" typing to a) tie in with the whole "plasma" theme of Gen V and b) to represent the fusion of fire and lightning (both of which are forms of plasma).

Still doesn't make more sense, and from a programming perspective it's unnecessary to give one Pokemon a unique type. The OD will probably be pure Dragon.

The fire typing seriously needs some reworking though.

I fail to see what's so horribly wrong with Fire, it seems like a fairly balanced type. It's weak to Water, Rock, and Ground and strong against Grass, Bug, Ice, and Steel. Its advantage against Steel in particular makes it useful enough.

[Mr.FusRoDah]

I do have to admit, there would probably be one thing about Light that would be good...if it ever made it out of the cutting room, it'll probably be super effective against Ghost and Dark...And tbh, I would love to see Sableye and Spiritomb die hard. Lol.

Get a Fighting type that knows Foresight. Problem solved.

What's wrong with Fire?

I think the dark and light types should be super effective against each other.

[PinkPrincess]

I think the dark and light types should be super effective against each other.

Exactly what I was thinking!

[Pokénaut]

They would need to balance the types depending on how many additional ones are added.

[keyinjpop]

Here's some types I've been thinking of: Blood-type and Tech-type.

Blood is based on anatomy and some pokemon I thought up are inspired by things like nurses, skeletons, vampires, and human systems. They're weak against poison, electric, and bug and resistent against water, and grass and they deal super effective damage to fighting, dark, and other blood types.

Tech types are based technology and some pokemon I thought up are inspired by machines like jets, cars, robots, plugs, and power tools. They're weak against water, fire, and ground and are resistent to steel, fighting, and poison and they deal super effective damage to rock, bug, grass, and ice types.

Just some ideas I wish i could see happen but won't (^_^)

[Bolt the Cat]

Tech is too much like Electric and Steel, but Blood is an interesting idea. Creepy, but interesting.

[red2000]

well remember the only reason we got Dark and Steel types was to balance out Psychics stranglehold back in Gen 1, there really isn't a reason to add any more types, plus most abilities cover any other inconsistencies

Blood Type? That sound dumb. Keep dreaming.

Imo they don't need any more types since every Type has it's strength's and weaknesses. Steel / Poison Type pokemon are more Defensive based , while Dragon / Fighting Types are more offensive. I'd say that it's a good balance , certain pokemon are Defnsive and certain Offensive.
