What I meant was an actual reboot of the game itself, not just in a generational concept.
Professer K said:If you want to be technical BW was the reboot for the series. Unova aka the new Kanto. Why do you think in Best Wishes they set Ash back to age ten and make him a complete noob. He even makes the same mistakes as he did in season one. he even throws a pokeball with out weakening a pokemon. Now if you look at things that way and see gen six as the new Jhoto then it makes sense as to why there could be new types. The new types could be anything light, sound or something else. It doesn't matter if we think it makes sense or not. It is what GF wants to do with it and if they want new types there will be new types. And you know what people are still going to buy the games even the people against new types. Same thing in the other direction.

Water + Grass? All types can be cover with combinations of different types. I've seen everyone in this thread say it and I have to agree. But if they were to make any new types what would that type be?
jynxed said:That's the problem, I think. The serious suggestions are repeated over and over (light type light type light type), the same arguments over and over. Nothing new, nothing interesting. At least if we can joke around a little bit something new might come from it. An uptight forum is a horrible forum.

What I have been trying to do in my more recent post is try to get this thread back on topic because it has moved away from such. The thread was meant to talk about possible new types not to argue about if GF would do it and why they should and shouldn't. I think everyone would feel a lot better if the people who wanted to talk about possible new types could bring their opinions to the table with out coming under fire. Then the people that want to argue about why GF should or shouldn't put a new type in can argue there. They can also say what they think in that thread. Lets bring things back to the original intent of this thread and agree to disagree.

Its the same as if I made a thread about "What new stat would you like to see?". Some people would bring something up like stamina and argue how its not the same as HP...but the rest would pretty much say how the whole question is nonsense and that there is no indication nor reason to think there would be a new stat.
Perhaps someone would then even point out that
"GS changed special to sp.atk and sp.def.."
and everyone would facepalm,
while the thread wouldnt get anywhere.
Pokemon Trainer Dark said:How would that be the same as talking about new types? I will have to say that your last post...certainly isn't the same Aspect at all. Stats affect how a pokemon are, and Types affect it's weaknesses and resistances, as well as what it gets for a STAB. It certainly isn't the same thing, one is more important then the other, sides Game Freak might add in another stat, but why would it be Stamina? We already have that in the form of Power points for each move.

Because they're both mechanics in the game that have been exhausted thoroughly and don't need to be improved. Which is something I disagree with personally (I think they could possibly make Accuracy or Evasion into legitimate stats), but that's a matter for another thread. At any rate, I agree with his point about types, there's little if anything more they could do. Most suggestions for types are either too similar to other types or too narrow in usefulness.
