The thing about the magic type is that it’s confusing. It’s like having a “magic element” in a fantasy element magic system: everything they do is essentially magic, so what’s the distinction? Is it just some sorta arcane energy? That would be the fairy and/or psychic type though, so what would the magic type really be? Most of the types function as an element of sort.

Arcane is a very much more fitting name

Giving a move the ability to flinch every single opponent in the field is beyond broken, infinitely more than Fake Out. For one, Fake Out is single target and can only be used in the first turn the user is sent out, while this can be used every two turns. You're basically giving any mon the ability yo set-up Trick Room or any boosting move for free in Doubles. Not only that: the fact this has +4 priority makes it impossible to block if the user doesn't either have Shield Dust or a Covert Cloak.

The challenge arises when introducing a sound and magic type, as it intersects with the existing normal and fairy categories. Abilities like Liquid Voice and moves such as Boomburst fall under the sound type, while moves like Substitute and Throat Chop counteract sound-based strategies, essentially creating a need for an entirely new type. Attempting to categorize sound as a subcategory of normal and designating fairy as the magic type has been explored by Pokémon previously. However, the fairy type itself is intended to encapsulate magical elements, making it a broader classification than just magic alone. While fairies are often associated with magic, it's essential to recognize that they embody various characteristics beyond a singular theme.

You know, not all pokemon would have to drop one of their typings if they're already related to something that inbodies the "new type". They could be a Dhelmise/Bombirdier situation where they have a afinity (or in this case ability) with that type but don't exactly make part of it.

Water being super effective against the digital type makes sense because what happens if you spill water on an electronic

I've been working on a fanmade Pokémon region and I personally added a blood type. I felt the themes of the type (blood, organs, predators, and brutality) fit the darker tone of the plot, and the resistances and weaknesses help buff and nerf some types. Super effective against: Fairy (because fairies are generally small enough to become easy prey to carnivorous animals), Fighting (because punching things requires muscles and blood flow to the arms), Psychic (because blood is a common fear), and Dragon (because of quite a few mythological dragon-slaying weapons being forged from a dragon's blood) Not very effective against: Steel (the trope of knights and warriors using their own blood or pain as a source of power), Ice (because of the effects extreme temperatures have on the body), Fire (because of the effects extreme temperatures have on the body), and Poison (because poison can really mess you up if it gets into your bloodstream) No effect against: Ghost (because ghosts don't have blood, as well as blood mysteriously appearing on walls from thin air being a trope in horror movies that feature paranormal phenomena) Resistant to: Steel (iron is in the blood), Fairy (because fairies are generally small enough to be easy prey to carnivorous animals), Blood (because you can't out-hemomancy a hemomancer), and Dark (because of the concept of bloodlust) Weak to: Fire (because of the effects extreme temperatures have on the body), Ice (because of the effects extreme temperatures have on the body), Poison (because poison can really mess you up if it gets into your bloodstream), and Bug (because haha funny mosquito go "bzz bzz SSSSSLLLLLLLUUUUUUURRRRRRPPPPP")

I personally like the idea of a data/cyber type. It doesn’t step on a whole lot of existing types since the only existing ‘mons that it would apply to are things like Porygon, maybe some of the more robotic Steel types and future paradox Pokemon, and I guess I could see arguments for some man-made ‘mons (I wouldn’t include Ditto or plain old ‘object Pokemon’ though). Otherwise I think it’d be pretty fresh, and while adding types just for the comparative effect may be ill advised, I’d would like to say that arguments could be made for how it could be strong against some of the best types like Dragon, Fairy, Ghost, or Steel, while also weak against some of the worst types like Poison, Bug, Ice, or Rock without feeling like we’re just adding the interactions to balance type charts. (Those types are still considered respectively good & bad right? I don’t actually keep up with competitive so I only know the really good & really bad types.) Still, preference over it and something like a Sound type may depend on what a person wants from a new type. Do you want something that’s new and doesn’t take away from existing types while interacting with them; or do you want something that can easily be added, applied to old pokemon and old moves, and just slide in like it was always there. Looking around, it seems opinions on this can vary.

Sound and cyber type look incredible! I would love some types also that would nerve the strong types (like water, steel, fairy) and buff the weaker types (like grass, bug, poison)! This is a very cool and interesting video!

Since I feel like Arceus isn't done justice, I suggest the introduction of a God type: it would hit everything for super effective damage and resist everything except for other God types. Arceus would have this, and maybe we could give it to the Creation Trio in their Origin Forms. This would actually make my poor Fence Deer as OP as it deserves to be (And probably get it banned too)

I dunno. Adding in a sound type just feels pointless and is a bit too specific. I mean, literally everything makes sound, so how are you gonna decide who gets the type outside of obvious picks. There's also the problem that adding another type may not fix anything except ensuring a new top dog. We don't need to mess up the type chart by adding in yet another type. But hey, maybe I'm wrong.

Everything can make sound, but not everything specializes in generating it It’s what makes fighting different from normal. Fighting types specialize in martial arts techniques

None of these would really work as types. Sound already has too many moves and mechanics associated that would require massive overhaul and rebalancing to be it's own type, Magic (as you said) overlaps with Psychic and Fairy too much, and Cyber would just be far too restrictive of a concept since it'd require making tons of man-made Pokemon just to fill it with far more abstract designs that couldn't work for other types. Also, outside of what happened to the Rotom forms in gen 5, the only type that would ever be replaced for a new one would be Normal, as that is what happened when Fairy was introduced.

Great video. When thinking about those types, I can definitely see a group of starters where there regional counterparts have then. For example: - regional Rillaboom = Grass/Sound - regional Delphox = Fire/Magic - regional Blastoise = Water/Cyber

Well actually 🤓 sound travels faster through solid objects so it's more likely that sound would be super effective against ice

10:59 There's already an ability that does this, gholdengo's good as gold and i can confirm that it is very powerful in VGC

What would be a physical sound type move? Like Kiai Kick and Howling Strike? I think brilliant types to defend sound might be ice and grass since snow dampens noise and trees don’t have ears 😂

Sound would be the only logical new type for me. Problem is that the type chart is already messed up and every time Gamefreak introduces a new type to fix it, things become even worse. You could make a point that Steel and Dark weren't even necessary considering the broken mechanics of Gen 1 and the absence of good Bug Pokémon / Moves to use against Psychic types. But at the very least Fairy was completely unnecessary (just buff Ice and stop making more and more broken Dragons) and just replaced 1 broken type with another one. Your suggestions are very random, though. I mean Sound strong vs. Water, Fairy and Electric. Why? What's the logical reason? I could probably see water, as water is a conductor of sound. But why Fairy and Electric? And weak to Dragon? Makes no sense at all. And your argument for why Poison should be effective against Sound is more a reason why Poison should resist it. I could also see Bug resisting or even being immune to it. But overall, creating some "logical" type interactions with Sound isn't that easy. Chimeco would be interesting as a Sound/Steel type. For Magic: not a fan of this type. But not mentioning Alakazam as an obvious choice for a Pokémon getting the Magic type is a crime.

You can’t just throw around any strengths and weaknesses you gotta justify them

This is one of the only "what if Pokémon had this" videos that I fully support! Brilliant ideas.

Watch you inadvertenly bring back the Zubat line's infestation once the Sound types become relevant.

I got some ideas for new types... Sort of. 1: NPC (Non Pokemon Creatures): These are almost normal animals. The smaller ones almost function like pokeberries. The larger ones... There is a spell (from somewhere) that makes them self replicate into a small army. Berserkers: Humans that are not afraid to fight Pokemon directly. They mostly throw projectiles (seen in legends of Arcious). There strongest weapon is a Warball, the only weapon that could hurt a Pokemon.

I can see Ludicolo replace the Water-type for the Sound-type sense its design doesn’t entirely say “Water-type” outside of it being based on a Kappa, Vibrava, along with Flygon, could get rid of the Dragon-type sense it is known as the “Desert Spirit” and would more likely require the Ground-type over the Dragon-type, and Toxtricity could get rid of the Poison-type for the Amped form and the Electric-type for the Low Key form. If anyone wants to reply with another Pokémon that seems unclear to replace the Sound-type for another type that isn’t the Normal-type or add on to a single typed Pokémon, feel free to tell me.

I think when we do eventually get a new type it's actually going to be something like what we just got with Stellar or something similar to Shadow: a complete and total gimmick. I just can't see them adding more types without completely reworking the type chart that exists as it is

Sound is the one I like the most out of those 3, pokemon with 2 types already could get the dhelmise treatment and have a "third type" as an ability, but I dont think it works with the current type chart Magic wouldn't fit since special and physical is already a thing(yet meowscarada is a physical attaker for some god forsaken reason) Cyber just feels weird, its less of a type and more of a classification kinda thing, like egg groups and such, it doesn't make sense for it to take/deal more damage because it is artificial/fake Tbh, all 3 types suggested in this video are already in game some way or another, it becomes more of a "where do you draw the line" situation, if sound becomes a type, why shouldn't spores become a type? We have many mushroom inspired mons. Same for cyber, why dont we also get a mollusk type for all of those water mons that aren't water? The answer is that they already are in the water 1, water 2 and water 3 egg group, (I dont remember if there is a water 4) Returning to sound, magic and the forementioned spores, the answer is that they are merely the shape an attack takes, not the force that fuels the attack, lets take mythology for an example: If sound was a type, there would be no difference from the hypnotic voice of a mermaid and the voice of a regular human being. Back to pokemon, personally, I hate ground type, but their relationship to eletric, rock and steel makes them work, because its not that the attack is grounded, the attack is made from the ground, such as dirt that absorbs and dissipates electricity and overwhelming pressure that can destroy rocks and minerals Thoughts?

As for Magic, you could easily look at Dungeons and Dragons for some inspiration. Magic could be a great type for causing various status effects with their unique attack, among others, examples of some moves: Magic Missile - This is your 2-5 hit move, technician would of course work here. Mystical Fire would be changed to Magic type, and would cause burn. Or it would be a Magic move thats also Fire type. Illusion - This is your Protect or Detect for Magic types. Mystical Chill - Weaker attack with a chance of Frostbite (which should return over Frozen) Witch's Brew - Throws a damaging cocktail that could poison thee target. Enchanted Binding - Like Magic's Wrap or Fire Spin. Magic Bolt - A Shot of Magical Lightning that may cause paralysis. Magical Terrain - Creates a field of Magical properties. It makes any Normal type moves and Pokemon become the /Magic type and increases all moves and power by 30%.

"glitch isn't fake out on roids" double battles:

Ice is immune to Sound Ice is super effective against Sound Why? Because snow is a natural sound dampener, that’s why it’s so eerily quiet on snowy days. This will give Ice types the buff they desperately need.

What I thought they could add that could unify most of these is an Artificial type, which would cover Cyber, Tech, Rubber, Plastic, etc. Then also they’re would be a Sound type that is resistant to Artificial type, and be super effective against it, since most man made stuff is an amplifier of sound. Then I’d have a Cosmic type, that would be immune to Sound, and also be Super effective against it, but it would be extremely weak against Artificial type, as human creations litter space as space junk, and also we make probes and spaceships to traverse space.

Sound type could be supereffective to ghost type and have immunity to it same as Dragon and fairy interacts with each other

The magic type is interesting and all, but I just wanna point out that there's actually a better version of it in the fangame pokemon Azurite. Its called the mystic type, and it's purpose is to basically represent trickery and such. There's more info on the game's website if you're interested!

I think there should be a reverse to not-very-effective, like being beneficial instead, like a grass pokemon getting hit with water type move it doesn’t take damage, it heals, it was add more challenge to switching a pokemon with low health to take a beneficial move instead of taking damage

I can see Glitch only being learned by Rotom forms or Porygon Z. Or maybe even they change the evo method to Porygon Z being similar to Annihilape where if Porygon 2 learns Glitch it'll literally glitch into Z

Rather than adding a sound type, I would like to see a "move +" mechanic where pokemon all get improvements to moves that are considered iconic to that Pokemon. So Pokemon who would want to get the sound type, such as Exploud, Toxtricity, Jigglypuff, Noiverne, etc., will get moves like "Hyper Voice +", which may improve the power by 50%. This could extend to other Pokemon moves as well. Maybe Blastoise will get "Flash Cannon +" which has 50% improved power, Hypno will get "Hypnosis +" which has improved accuracy, Electrode will get "Explosion +" which stuns Pokemon for one turn, etc.

I'd love a Glass type. Translucent parts on any character is cool af, and having shards of glass sticking out of their body or flung at opponents seems sick. There's no current Pokémon that would make a good Glass type, but there weren't any Pokémon retroactively made Dark type either. Mirror shot, move, & coat would become glass type. There's an argument for camouflage and Keckleon become glass type too since they turn translucent.

what about ice type?

2:27 Honestly! No Joke! Since this year HToAZ was exactly what most of fans wanted.

Right now, I think that a new type is least likely to happen because the Fairy type still hasn't really been fully optimized. It's still very much lacking in a lot of aspects. Even now, the only good physical move I know of is Play Rough. Sure, more can still be added in games to come, but it would just feel unfinished if another type was added before we got anything truly decent to better round it out. For me, the Sound type might be somewhere near the bottom of potential types that would be added. This is mainly because, in all honesty, it makes most sense for majority of sound based attacks to affect most fairly the same, whether it's operating from the perspective of simply being sound or vibration, just like the Normal type. Not to mention, it would also be taking a lot of fairly good moves from other types that could use them, specifically the Normal type. The biggest detractor for the Sound type would be that it might run a little too similarly alongside the Normal type. The only thing I can give it, is that it shouldn't be too much work to overhaul and reprogram certain interactions within the games since there are already moves and abilities that focus on such, but where's the fun and point in that?

I got some more ideas for new elements. Coward: These Pokemon represent cowardly heroes who come on top. They would have the reverse for psychic types. Spartan: These Pokemon represent military like elements. They are strong against dark and weak against bug. Jedi: These Pokemon represent creatures in the Star Wars franchise. They are strong against ghost and weak against dark. Energon: Pokemon that represent elements in the Transformers franchise. They are strong against electric and steel and weak against ground and flying. Roger: Pokemon that represent the old rubber hose cartoons. They are only weak against poison and dark.

The perfect magic type move has existed in the game since gen 1. It's called Metronome. Whenever you use Metronome it summons a random move. In gen 7 if you activate a normelium Z thus using Z-Metronome, the move that has been selected will become the random Z-move type it has summoned, creating some very unique moments!

I hope that game freak makes a new pokemon type called the legendary type this brand new type could act differently depending on the users surroundings, HP level, and egg group I think that it would also be best if this type was only accessible to legendary pokemon and mythical pokemon it would also be dope if they decided to add a lunar type and a sound type not to mention a primitive/ Prehistoric type would be off the chain.

fairy doesnt really make sense to being weak against sound imo

Light type is the only type that could ever be implemented. It has around 30 mons that work for it, and almost all don’t have to have a type get replaced for it to work. It can make sense to be a separate type since it represents both physical light and divinity(similar to fighting, but definitely different) and it can fix a ton of the type chart. It can be supereffective on fairy, dark, and ghost since divine beings overpower minor fairies or smth and dark and ghost is obvious. Then it can be resisted by bug, ice, and grass since bugs are attracted to and enjoy light, ice and snow can reflect and deafen light, and grass absorbs light. Definitely would be my choice for a new type, but I wouldn’t want it until like gen 11-12

In order for a new type to work, I think it should have the following traits * It should help types that are suffering with interactions and nerf types that are too overpowered. So being weak to Bug and Ice but strong against Fairy and Steel is a good start. Steel and Dark were added to balance the Psychic type. Fairy was meant to balance the Dragon type but ended up being a bit too good at its job * It needs to be a concept that you can easily slap on to a bunch of past Pokemon and have it fit. Maybe consider some of the egg groups for inspiration? Fairy used to be specifically an egg group. I could see a "Beast" type (there could be a better name) with a bunch of Pokemon in the monster and field egg groups * Speaking of retconning types, it seems they are only willing to completely change the Normal type. They were fine adding the Fairy type to previously mono-types, but there was absolutely no switching of a non-Normal dual type to Fairy * Think carefully not to overshadow an existing type. Don't make the same mistake Fairy made when it stole Psychic's job

Well types more likely be based off their biology like toxtricity just has strings that are on its.chest but obstagoon could be changed because of its behavior and the fact that they use sound based moves and everything (so change normal to sound)

Physic type resists sound is most bonker idea imaginable. Have fun concentrating during concert, while child is crying or on construction side. Pokemon types chart has some semblance of reality

Ik it’s never gonna happen but every new gen since 6 I’ve been hoping for a sound type( I remember rumours of yveltal being sound type before the game released lmao)

Pokemon should add traits instead. Think of it like a secondary set of types that can overlap with what we had before but also get super specific without the need to dramatically change the formula. Then you could have a Toxtricity with its OG types but the sound "trait" on top of it.

Personally I think if Pokemon ever adds new types it should probably cap at 20 (I am not counting the stellar type since it’s a gimmic, same reason we don’t say there’s 20 types cause of shadow and ???) I think the criteria for the types needs to be that they buff weaker types and hinder newer types, give enough creative freedom to create a ton of Pokémon, and can easily be slapped onto pre exsisting pokemon. That’s why I think the two next types should be sound and cosmic as there’s already a sound mechanic and space pokemon have existed since gen 1. They could even introduce them simultaneously and show off the wigglytuff line as part sound and clefable line as now part cosmic. A lot of people say that “oh those types are covered by normal and psychic” but like…. All of what fairy is conceptually was covered by psychic. It makes more sense to not have space themed pokemon all be psychic type anyway as they’ve already split the magic vs mental part with fairy. For normal, normal has always been the type they use when nothing else fits. Like there’s no reason for the clefable line to be normal but it is, or the exploits line. The sound mechanic already existing makes sound the perfect next type. Cosmic a close second

There will never be another new type it was balanced at 18 when Fairy was introduced

Grass and Ice should resist or be immune to sound, as snow and trees are able to absorb sound. It’s why it gets quiet when it snows outside.

I feel the sound type should have it super effective and resisted swapped round

9:31 There is only one sense here to add a type based on some yet unknown material or on the cyber level - an evil team. Because here you can stuff yourself with a lot of resistances and immunities,and give the ability to damage him only to certain types, as Crimsonite did in Koromon. These "alien materials" and "human-developed cyber Pokemon" are made to completely destroing their original, as was the case with Mewtwo, Ditto, and Porygon, who was just joking. I think,what you just put them a elektro resist / weakness and someone else,but i think in another way.

The cyber type is a fun concept and would give them a good excuse to create some more man-made pokemon. As a kid I always wanted to see that robot pikachu from the super nerd sprite to become a real pokemon

Sound and Light Type aren’t needed. The Sound Type does not make sense. Any element can make sound including two rocks banging together. Make more sound-based moves. Based on your reasoning making Electric weak to Sound you might as well have Normal be weak to Sound as well. Flying immune to sound makes absolutely no sense. The Magic Type is irrelevant. Fairy is Magick, Psychic is Magic. Notice the difference. Fairy types are creatures found in fairy tales. Psychic types are intelligent big brains. No pure Psychic Type was turned into Fairy but pure Normal Pokémon were. There are better ways to balance the type chart than new types.
