Bold prediction: No Light type this gen either

Every. Single. Generation. ZOMG WE'RE GETTING A LIGHT TYPE THIS TIME. Last time it was because of Reshiram, and this time Xerneas is the culprit. Seriously, just... stop. Steel and Dark really only exist because gen 1 was so incredibly imbalanced, and while some types are still better than others, adding a new type isn't exactly what's needed to change this. Not to mention, introducing a new type now will make it incredibly underpopulated compared to the currently existing ones. A problematic that wasn't much of an issue in gen 2, if you understand basic math.

  1. I keep telling my fellow Pokemon fans that there will be no new types. They will not believe me...

    1. Welcome to the RSE remake debate all over again.

    2. The RSE remake brigade doesn't give up - they just move on to "there'll be RSE remakes in Gen VI!!!! :D :D :D". Seriously insufferable.

    3. The only way they will happen is if they cannot connect a DS game to a 3DS game wirelessly (I am pretty sure they can)...

    4. But there MIGHT be gen 3 remakes in gen 6. The entire point was that they wouldn't happen in gen 5. Sure, Hoenn fanboys are as insufferable as Genwunners, but there's actually a chance they might be right this time around nonetheless, as much as I want them to get denied once again (also because I don't want to deal with those sea routes anymore).

    5. Again, my point is that they MAY not do it unless they somehow make it so X, Y, and (speculative name) Z cannot connect to Gen 5. I never said that it was impossible...

      I like Emerald enough (I am not a Hoenn fanboy myself. I said I like Emerald, not LOOOOVE it) though it is far inferior to the later games. Yes, the Hoenn Sea Routes from Hell can go to...a deeper level of Hell...

      At least we get to gloat if the remakes pass by Gen 6 as well. Let us face it, between Genwunners, Gentwotards (what is the official name for them?), and Hoenn fanboys who refuse to remove their nostalgia goggles to see that the later games are far superior...

    6. That was a reply to Thomas. God the reply system here sucks moose testicles.

    7. Indeed. Sorry about that, Slow...

  2. I think that some of them have actually thought that as well. On the bright side, we do get to gloat when Gen 6 comes out...I actually have heard rumors of TWO new types. Do I believe them? No. Sure, Dragons, Fighters, and Steels are good, but they are not BROKEN...all three have common (commonish in the case of Fighting) weaknesses to keep them from being broken...

  3. It's simply too late to feasibly implement a new type unless a LOT of old Pokemon are reworked.

  4. If they were going to introduce the Light type, wouldn't they have done it back in Gen III along with abilities and natures?

  5. You clearly haven't seen everything yet... A Pokemon X & Y Facebook fanpage I'm currently following is speculating there might be a SOUND type that would be introduced along with the Light type. (Hey, don't give me that look, they're distributing free shinies as a way to get more likes, who wouldn't try to take advantage of it ? I almost won a Shiny Porygon2 once.)

    1. Typically those "distributions" are hacked Pokémon. I know GCPM used to do it, dunno if that's a thing anymore for him though.

      Also, if you're this easily bought, I have bad news for you.

    2. The only Shiny I would care about there is Mewtwo (my favorite, though I know he is not the best), and even then, when I get to him in my replaced SoulSilver, I could just soft reset until I get a Shiny. That guy IS easily bought...he could spend about $20-30 U.S. dollars (convert that as you will) to just make a Shiny himself via Action Replay...

      Delete
    3. Actually, those shinies are so random that it's believable that they are Legit. The Admin did say that he tried to get a few on the GTS and that he couldn't guaranty that these particular ones wouldn't be hacked, so... I think the guy is okay.
      And Ness Prower, you can go to hell. You don't even know me. I didn't spend a single dollar for that and I'm just trying to socialize with the community. I don't care if I win or not, I'm not trying some complex strategy to make sure I win, I'm just doing this for fun !

    4. Seriously, I can't believe what I'm reading. Fuck you. Fuck you both. You are constantly telling people to not judge people based on their actions and decisions and here you are, doing the exact same thing.

      Delete
    5. I do have little excuse for offending you, but a Shiny is worth much more if you know that it is legitimate, and especially if you get the legitimate one yourself...

      Delete
    6. I actually intend to hand them over to my brother, because I don't care all that much about Shinies myself. And being 10 years'old, do you think HE would even care if a Shiny is hacked or not ? Heck, he doesn't even know that a Pokemon can hacked in the first place. He doesn't intend to play competitively either. What you said was still totally uncalled for !

    7. There is still that satisfaction factor to it. Also, if you want me to admit I am a terrible person, then fine. I am a terrible person. Even before I found out for sure that I had Asperger's (and OCD, clinical depression, and probably many other things that I know not about). I was still so. I have been a horrible person for the past four or so years. You still could have told us, "This page gives away free Shinies. I have no use for them myself, but my brother would like them, so I will give them to him," so we would not think that you were intending on using Shinies that you know not whether they are legitimate yourself...

    8. I can understand that it created a bit of misunderstanding, but you could have taken a clue from Slowflake here. He didn't go for the direct insult and just told me the facts and dangers about that in a calm tone. (By the way, I'm sorry of dragging you into this, I was just really mad.)

      You have absolutely no excuse for personally insulting me, Asperger's or not. I want an apology, not the knowledge of the story of your life. If you expect me to stop feeling offended out of pity, then it's the proof that you know absolutely nothing about me. I absolutely loathe when people take pity on me and it would be hypocritical of me to do it on others. I'm sure you hate being judged by others because of your condition, so you shouldn't do the same thing.

      Delete
    9. Friend, I am afraid that my admitting to being a horrible person before I knew of my conditions IS my apology. I was not looking for your mere pity. I do not tell many people in real life of my disorder because I also find pity itself rather disgusting. I would much rather have people hate me with all of their being based on my personality, rather then having them feel sorry for me due to my conditions. Hate is honest. Pity is not...

    10. Well, I'm sorry, but "hate" is something I'm way too weak to be able to feel when it comes for such insignificant matters. I admit having a misplaced pride, but this pride is what keeps me from becoming completely insane... I won't hide to you that I'm still going to be royally pissed off for a while, but you can't ask me to hate you just for some petty insults.

      I know the satisfaction of finding a Shiny yourself. Heck, it almost made me consider to use a freaking Pidgeot of all things. I know that it wouldn't be the same thing if somebody just gave it to me. But sometimes, you have to lower your standards a little bit. I learned the hard way that setting them too high will make you completely unreachable for others... And we know how low the society is sinking these days. I won't give up on my pride, but what I want to do is try to understand. That's why I started to call myself the Seeker of All Equations. (As well as to be a reference to a Japanese novel series that nobody will ever get... x) )

  6. (kicks self for forgetting) SOUND is the other type that the fan I know heard about! Why did I forget that?! On the bright side, it at least looks like the mascots will not be MORE DRAGONS based on their appearance...
