5th Gen New Types?

[Dubstep]

If they do make light Pokemon, they could be like the holy monks or temple guardians of the Pokemon world. Maybe they could have a fu dog Pokemon.

Fu dog:

 

[BleuVII]

Yes, though I believe Growlithe and Arcanine were based off of the Fu Dogs to begin with, just like Vulpix and Ninetails were based off of Inari Fox Shrine Guardians.

Light and Dark would be SE on eachother. When light stands up to the dark, it shines the dark away. When darkness goes into the light, it covers up the light, creating darkness.

Not only is that not how light works, Dark type is not literal darkness, it is fighting dirty.

 

[Satoshi_poketo monsta]

New type? I guess Light type...Why? I don't know too! But that's sure accurate for a New type to appear.

 

[Tanaki]

Somehow I doubt that they would add a light type. To me it seems more likely that Reshiram would be part Psychic since a similar scenario occured when Espeon and Umbreon came into play with the day/night gimmick, or normal because of it's white color.

You are ignoring what you refuse to say... the majority of Dark-Types are based on literal darkness, but it also takes into account other ways of being "dark".

That make sense. Reshiram looks so...so...Well maybe look so Psychic type and Dragon of course! Which means its a Dragon/Psychic. But many people also said that Reshiram is also a Dragon/Light! We don't know for sure, We'll just have to wait a few days or maybe weeks.

 

[Ravecat]

the majority of Dark-Types are based on literal darkness"dark".

Such as?

Darkrai is the only one I can think of, and even then he's still "dark" in the sense he is menacing and will rape you in your sleep.

See also the dark-type moves, all spare maybe 3 refer to fighting dirty or using evil/frowned-upon tactics.

 

[Hibaru]

New type would probably be Light type! Many rumors come, many people also speculate for a Light type to appear. But that doesn't mean Light type is really going to appear! Who knows, Maybe yes and maybe no! We'll just have to see if this Light type appear or not. But I think we're gonna get Zekrom and Reshiram info this/next week...

 

[ElectricScyther]

I think a Light type would be cool. We could see more Poison types because Light would be weak to Poison and Psychic, and good against Dark. Maybe some others, but what the heck.
And Light could go either way, holy or bright. It could be actual light, like Lanturn, or holiness, like a sort of angel Pokemon.
And Jeez, It's called Black and White versions! Reshiram SO looks like a light type!
So yeah, there WILL be a light type. End of story.

 

[Ravecat]

I'd like to hold you to that.

You can never say anything will definitely be introduced.

Why would they make 90% of Dark-Types black? You can be intimidating, fight dirty, and be vicious without being black in color... because literal darkness plays it's part.

 

[Camara]

Light type, I don't get all the love about it, I see it sort of part of the electric type. The only one I agree reasonable enough of the proposed ones is radioactive, it makes some sense.

All I want is something to break the dark/ghost no weakness combo. Make e.g. poison super effective against Ghost instead of not very effective and for me the typing chart it's fine. Also we never know if Gamefreak will make a Dark/Ghost Lugia-thing.

Maybe half of them are black, and that's likely because black is often associated with evil.

You realize the guys who design these Pokémon are Japanese, right?
And you also realize that in the original Japanese version "Dark Type" is known as "Evil Type", right?

Why would they go against their own name for the type?
Exactly. They wouldn't.
Dark type has little if anything to do with darkness.

Spoiler:

Black Dark Types: 8
Varied Dark Types: 15
...Sure is "90% of all Dark Types are black" in here.

Sure whatever... my main argument for the Dark-Type has been stated before already, I just wanted you to know that SOME Dark-Types are indeed based on literal darkness, but that's not where I'd want it all to be based, or a Light-Type really would not be needed. You say Dark means Evil, well Psychic doesn't mean Good right? That would be dumb.

I never said Psychic meant good, I don't care about any of that and you're pulling at straws now.

A light type is fine if it's supposed to be a "Good" or "Holy".

Just not if it refers to the light that refers to luminescence, because that is stupid and unfounded.

Oh, and if you mean "SOME" say "SOME", don't lie about statistics and then backpedal.

 

[ElectricScyther]

Come ON. A light type is in B/W. I guarantee it.
Based on Reshiram's appearance, though, I agree it'll most likely be "good" to balance the Dark type. (Finally! Good vs. Evil conflict!)
And like I said before, (in my last post here) the Light type will be included with like an angel pokemon. Fact.
Thre are going to be light types in Gen. V, point-blank.
Of course, I never said there will be about 500 of them. And, once again, they balance out the Dark type, so they'll be a new type in B/W.
And if I'm wrong, you can eat my sig.

The appearance of Reshiram, IMO, further augments the evidence for the inclusion of a Light-type in BW. That mention of Zecrom being related to Electric-type on that Japanese Pokemon blog ups my hopes a bit, too, as it may be a hint. Sadly, nothing is 100% until the actual games are released...

Here's hoping (very strongly) for a Light-type, with Reshiram being one of the first! Maybe there should be a Light-type petition or fanclub or something of the sort, to strengthen our chances...? :D

Don't use words unless you know what they mean.

They are all White, non of them are Light types. Reshiram's appearance means nothing. And what's the point of it being Light when Zekrom is Electric?
