Invent a type

[Miracle Fingers]

Probably has been done to death already, but if you could make up your own type, what would it be? What would the weaknesses be? If you could MODIFY someone else's idea that would be cool, too. You don't have to be original as the idea for some types have come up already.

Well, here's an idea...

Plastic
Type: Physical
Weaknesses: Fire, Steel, Rock
Resistances: Water, Ice, Grass, Poison, Bug
Immunities: Electricity
Not effective against: Steel, Rock, Fire
Super effective against: Electricity

Here's my version of the Light type

Light
Type: Special
Weaknesses: Grass
Resistances: Fire, Electric, Ice, Ghost, Dark
Immunities: None
Not very effective against: Grass, Fire, Electric, Bug
Super effective against: Dark

 

[Too-Angel]

Soul

Type: Strong
Weakness: Flying Type Pokemon
Resistances: Ghost, Dark
Immunities: None
Not effective against: None
Super Effective against: Water, Fire, Rock, Steel, Electric, Bug

That sounded too powerful. :P

 

[Miracle Fingers]

Soul

Type: Strong
Weakness: Flying Type Pokemon
Resistances: Ghost, Dark
Immunities: None
Not effective against: None
Super Effective against: Water, Fire, Rock, Steel, Electric, Bug

That sounded too powerful. :P

Cool idea.

I'm a little confused on your weaknesses and strengths. Could you explain them to me? Is Soul a Special or Attack based type?

Sounds cool, though.

i actually amde a thread about this a few months ago, about inventing new types for the new generation of Pokemon games.

Light was 50/50 choice, a lot of people thought it was necessary to balance out dark, but others thought it would become too spiritual, like the Soul type invented by Too-Angel.

another popular type was Sonic, attacks and pokemon using sonic-realted attacks, like voice, hearing, and sight attacks

I saw a thread like this on another site. You should add a section for attacks that would fit the type, new or old. I'll give an example.


Non-Elemental

Type: Special
Weaknesses: None
Resistances: None
Immunities: All Status Effects
Not Effective Against: None
Super Effective Against: None

Type Attacks: Hyper Beam, Metronome, Giga Beam, Terra Beam, Neutron Blast, Meteor Storm, Celestial Blade, Cosmo-Shift... that's all I got for now. I'll think of more attacks for it later.

Non-Elemental is an extremely rare Type in Zanta that very few Pokemon species actually fit under. Its power and rarity have actually caused Pokemon of this Type to often be banned from Leagues and Gyms in certain Regions. Its greatest asset is the fact that no known Pokemon is strong against its Attacks. However, its weakness also fits into this, never doing more than base damage to any Pokemon. Some Pokemon have been known to learn Non-Elemental Attacks without actually fitting under the category.

*For all you Pokemon Game Designers, this would be the perfect Type for a Boss Creature.*

Well since Fly Type of pokemon can easily attack ghosts type of pokemon easily by using fly. It will only be effective if a fly type pokemon will use fly. Since ghost type pokemon cant be hit with anything, I decided to make another version of ghost type which is Soul which would make it more powerful and can easily beat almost all types of pokemon. Since Ghost already is weak against Psychic and Dark, Soul is the second version of Ghost, so its more superior, when it hits more power points will be taken off the opponent. It wont be weakened easily by any of their attacks but if Soul attacks on Psychic and Dark, it wont be super effective either, it would just take power points off the opponent normally. Soul is pretty much a Attack Based Type.

 

[Star6]

Star Type

[Sunflorazumarill]

Chemical

Thay are super effective against Poison and Bug Pok?mon but weak against Grass and Chemical Pok?mon. Also, Grass attacks are super effective against Chemical Pok?mon.

Ghost type Pokemon are only immune to Normal and Fighting. Flying DOES affect ghosts. Every other physical attack EXCEPT Normal and Fighting hits them, but Flying does damage. That, and Ghost is NOT weak to Psychic.

Plastic
Type: Physical
Weaknesses: Fire, Steel, Rock
Resistances: Water, Ice, Grass, Poison, Bug
Immunities: Electricity
Not effective against: Steel, Rock, Fire
Super effective against: Electricity

OK. Plastic Pokemon are made of Plastic or similar things. They can be balloons or other materials that are similar. The type is ATTACK based.

Plastic attacks:

Plastic Wrap: Traps the foe for 2-5 turns
Stretch: Raises ATTACK but lowers DEFENSE
Protect: Evades attack that turn. It may fail.
Snap Back: ATK: 95 and 20% chance of lowering DEFENSE
Close Lid: Prevents switching or running away.

Light
Type: Special
Weaknesses: Grass
Resistances: Ice, Ghost, Dark, Fire, Electric
Immunities: None
Not very effective against: Grass, Bug, Psychic, Fire, Electric
Super effective against: Dark, Ghost
Doesn't affect: None

The Light type Pokemon attack by using Light. It is SPECIAL ATTACK based. The side effect of Light Attacks is reduced accuracy. Put simply, Light Attacks blind the opponent.

Light attacks:

Flash: Lowers accuracy 1 level
Laser Beam: ATK: 150 and 20% Chance of lowering accuracy 1 level
Bright Sky: Lowers Accuracy 1 level and reduces the power of Dark attacks by 50%. Same effects on time-of-day dependant Healing moves as Flood Light.
Heavenly Glow: Recovers HP. HP recovered is affected by time of day. Always heals more in the daytime.
Flicker: ATK: Attacks 2-5 times and lowers accuracy 1 level. The Light equivalent of Fury Attack in terms of damage.
Light Burst: ATK: 100 and always lowers accuracy 1 level
Halogen: Reduces accuracy by 2 levels
Flood Light: If a Pokemon uses this, Morning Sun, Moonlight, Synthesis, and other time-of-day dependant helaing moves heal their regular amount of HP. Any other effects of Rain Dance stay in effect.

[Murpheos]

An interesting type, Neko, but a thought: woudlnt Mirror be immune to mirror? the attacks would keep reflecting back at each other? just a though is all.

Hmm... never thought of it like that.

 

[pokefan007]

Well, I think its safe to say that a mirror pokemon wouldn't have ALL mirror attacks...

Since you made Omega, I have come up with Alpha. It's not a type, but rather one Pokemon. (Haven't come up with a name yet).
