Thoughts?? What do you want to see in Gen 6? Rainbow type? :p Thanks for the tip Josh!
< ;3 pokejungle
ps- Join our forum!!! (Three exclamation marks mean I REALLY want you to!)
your welcome PJ 😀 and i really cant think of what the new type may be called if this is all true lol maybe a cosmic type? or maybe even the popular light type alot of people want
As far as I know, “light” attacks are split between many types right now, like Steel for Flash Cannon, Doom Desire, and Mirror Shot, Psychic and Mirror Coat/ Light Screen, Ice and Aurora Beam, Bug with Tail Glow/ Signal Beam, then many other attacks like Power Gem, Flash, Acid Armor, Luster Purge, Reflect, and many others
why would people want light type anyway.
well only reason i can think is it can possibly cover the dark/ghost types. not saying light type will be the one its just a possibility imo
So after some serious thought…if this rumor of a new type is true…I think I know exactly what it will be and I have my reason for it which I will share.
The new type (if rumor is true) will be ALIEN type!!! And after doing some research on alien invasion movies I have come to the conclusion that this type could have 6 possible resistances, 3 weaknesses and 10 current pokemon whose types could be changed to this.
Possible Resistances
In alien invasion movies, all life-forms (humans, animals and plants) stand no chance against the invaders without the aid of weaponry which means that every type that represents a life-form shouldn’t be able to do normal damage to it so this would include the 3 types that represent special human individuals (Fighting, Dark and Psychic) and the 3 types that represent animals & plant life (Flying, Bug and Grass). You ask why I include Flying? Well in Japan Flying type is actually Bird type which is why we have moves like Peck and Wing Attack so…yeah.
Oh and Dragon type doesn’t count since they are mythical.
Possible Weaknesses
The obvious one would be its own typing so that makes 1 of 3, but the other 2 are much needed for these STAB moves to be worth using in competitive battling.
In the movies, there are a few themes in which the invaders are defeated. One is by simple weaponry such as guns, tanks, aircrafts and etc. as well as a simple computer virus. The other ways as seen in the movie “War of the Worlds” is that the aliens are incapable of living on Earth due to the airborne toxins and bacteria. Weaponry and Toxins lead to its weaknesses being the STEEL type and the POISON type, which as I said is much need for those 2 types.
10 Current Pokemon Whose Types Would Change
These 10 are rather self-explanatory as their pokedex entries refer to them being from space or communicating to something in space.
Deoxys
Cleffa
Clefairy
Clefable
Staryu
Starmie
Lunatone
Solrock
Elgyem
Beheeyem
I think they would simply scarp the Psychic typing on the Psychic types and put the Alien typing on them. The Clefairy line will drop their Normal typing. Staryu would simply have the Alien typing added to it since it is just Water type.
So what do you guys think?
YES! I would honestly love this. Actually, as a fakemon fan, I created the Alien type years ago. I think any Pokemon that has a cosmic theme to it, but that isn’t already dual-typed should have Alien tacked on to their typing. For example, the whole Clefairy evolutionary line could become Normal/Alien typing and Elgyem and Beheeyem could become Psychic/Alien. However, I don’t think Staryu and Starmie would fit the Alien typing. I mean, they may seem weird, but they’re still just starfish.
You do realise you sound like one of the Area 51 nut cases?
Aww two years would be too far away. I’m hoping that since they released BW2 so quickly, they’ll skip RSE remakes this generation and get on to gen 6 soon.
I think a new type could be some sort of virtual or computer-based type. Porygon could have its type changed to reflect this, and they could have pokemon based on things like computer viruses and… light? I dunno, but I think it would be cool.
That’s called the grass type.
I’m really not sure what type they can introduce that is completely necessary considering that I feel like every type is represented pretty fairly.
I’m also not sure about the forms thing. I think it would actually be pretty neat where some Pokemon had regional forms (kinda like Shellos), only they also had different attacks, abilities, stats, and maybe even types instead of just physical appearance.
Oops, that was meant to reply to Gr8 Monst3r.
-Gen VI coming in about 2 years
More like 1 IMO, but definitely more likely than anything else starting the 3DS era for main pkmn games lol.
-Storyline focused on a world in crisis
How vague is that. We just saw an interview with gamefreak where they said that the pokemon world has had wars long ago but is actually a place with good morals and only exceptions in villainous teams and individuals.
-Full 3D world and models
Dafuq. Masuda expressed his support for sprites not long ago, and as a diehard sprites fan, I hope that’s wrong (not like the list seems any legit but hey.)
-New type will be introduced
The end. Okay, I know now someone made this up. Thank you.
-Fewer new Pokémon, but some existing ones get new forms/abilities
Im sure the next gen will be something smaller and more complementary, but if it was a forme-festival, Im not sure people would be pleased lol.
-Wii U will get a Pokémon Battrio (Japanese arcade exclusive right now) game which uses NFC technology
Duh…….
how about PBR2/XDŽ/Stadium3? That would be something to make use of the 3d models before they have to make more again. And the next year seems like the perfect timing for this too, since gen V is essentially done and we should be waiting a bit more till gen VI.
Imagine. PBR2 – PBR done properly, THE game for competitive battlers:
-Move tutors
-Breeding center (breed more than one at a time and hatch a few dozen by doing other stuff)
-Battle frontier (a costumizable trainer, and actually walking in an Emerald like frontier area)
–pokemon gifts, some wild (making any still hidden abilities available, especially starters through hard tasks)
-Berry growing place
-EV training place (gaining EV through some minigames or fast battles with opponents of the same EV kind in a row)
-awesome wifi battle options
-faster paced animations n stuff.
Now THAT would be awesome. Battrio can suck it.
Wood type? anyone…
As Krake said:
“That’s called the Grass-type.”
2 years? Yeeeh not sure about that rumor. Seems to long from now.
It seems legit for me, since they can bring RSE remakes next year 😉
Prodigy type.
This is crap, there is not going to be a new type. Anyone who desires a “light type” needs to stop that hope because it is never going to happen because it makes no sense.
I hate rumors this early on!
Makes me feel extremely vulnerable to… being gullible.
;n;
Now I have to choose what to believe and stick to (which will then be proven to be wrong once Gen 6 is near and Q.Q about) and what not to believe and shoot down (which will then be proven as true once Gen 6 is near and >:| about…).
Da feels, meng…
There should be an edit option on this!
I missed two its after about…
>.<
3D world and models…this would be the perfect time to let us customize our characters.
Not to sure about a new type…honestly the light type isnt my cup of tea never really got why so many people want it…but I wouldnt mind as long as it works.
I guess a lot of people see “light” type things in other games and feel like it’s the only option to go with.
Personally I don’t see a light type happening.. Pokemon has never been one for conventional, y’know? It’s too conventional to add it as an opposite to dark, everyone would see that happening a mile away. I think that they’d go with something out of the blue, but it’d make perfect sense afterwards.
Yeah I agree.
I always thought that Psychic was in a way similar to a “light” type..I just don’t see much of a difference there. Then again I’m not analyzing it as I know tons of people do and will pop up and start throwing facts left to right. xD I’d rather keep it as a fan base thing..it’s kinda cliche.
Yep, you’re pretty much right, that’s why most ‘light’ Pokemon are psychic– again since they don’t like being conventional, psychic is a good unconventional light type.
Light has been too much of a fanbase thing to really get into the games without seeming a tad too much like fanservice as well.
Guys, if Nintendo clearly told Game Freak in an interview that they are disappointed with BW2 not being on the 3DS, then I highly doubt Game Freak wouldn’t keep that in mind. I do believe Gen V is coming to a close for this reason. They wouldn’t make more DS games at this point, and they wouldn’t extend Gen V onto the 3DS with R/S remakes. Why introduce the 3DS era of Pokemon with remakes instead of original titles? Also, if you haven’t noticed, we’re already nearing the largest amount of time a generation took to debut since the newest Nintendo handheld was released (1 year and 10 months between the Japanese releases of the DS and D/P).
I’m not sure where Geno gets his information from, but if Gen VI does in fact debut in two years, expect a lot of backlash from fans. Seriously, if this is true, owners of the 3DS who bought theirs at launch would’ve had to wait nearly FOUR YEARS for a mainline Pokemon RPG.
2 years? Thats a long time for the filler saga in the anime… if they had that much time left,..they would not need the filler anime saga…. I don;t buy this news.
Is it finally time to be able to talk about rumors?? 😀 I love the fact that the pokemon will finally become 3D. I mean, if they put in the work to make 3D pokemon models in the Pokedex App for 3DS, i would find it hard to believe that they would not be used some other time. While reading down the comments, i saw Jenny’s post about the custom playable charecters, which would be great as well, it is something that i have always actually wanted in a pokemon game, everyone plays as the same charecter -_-. The idea of less pokemon is also good, it may be a way to stretch pokemon out for a long period of time, because one of my biggest pokemon fears is that there will be too many for them, which impacts competitive battling, and makes it harder and harder to “catch them all”. Or simply, you can’t remember them all. But those are my opinions, let me know if you agree or dissagree
have to be honest. even though i am the one who sent these rumors in i am kind of leaning towards them being fake but only because the filler saga is starting next year in the anime and all the event pokemon are revealed and i really doubt a filler saga will last all year so i kind of expect gen 6 the middle of 2013
This might sound stupid and honestly the more I think about it…it does sound stupid! But if there is a new type then maybe it can be (DRUM ROLL) Magic Type!
It sounds silly but I literally can’t think of anything else other than a Space Type or Cosmic Type which has already been mentioned.
I like your idea of having a cosmic type, it is unique and unexpected. I would enjoy that more than a Rainbow type.
We really don’t need a new type but Game Freak could do a lot with type combinations and maybe redo the stats of older generation pokemon.
I’m praying for a non-fighting type fire starter.
a beast type to complement the overpowered dragon types.
and a fish, mammal, monster, bird type too eh…
Bug is there because bugs were the original idea for pokemon
Dragon is there because it is a uniform mythological creature known by all seperated cultures even though there is no real world reference of any such thing.
Bring back ???-type!
Carbon-fiber pokemon
I’d like to see new cries for old Pokémon. When you send out a first generation Pokémon into battle it just sounds so weird in comparison to a fifth.
Hell no!
…Maybe it’s because I grew up with Pokemon since Generation 1. I love the first Gen’s cries. Listening to every single Pokemon’s cries over the years has been pretty special each time a new Gen was at hand.
To me, what sounds weird are the newer Generation’s cries. They seem to incorporate real life sounds, like birds chirping for Starly or a xylophone being played for Kricketot. Not that they sound bad, I just think it’s a bit strange to hear the sound of multiple birds chirping outta one Starly’s mouth.
Although, I wouldn’t mind if they slightly changed the cries of Pokemon who sound similar, but aren’t related (Charizard & Rhyhorn and Poliwag & Ditto). I’d love more individually unique cries for each Pokemon, not just the same sound made slower, faster or with a different pitch.
Yes, I completely agree with you Benny. They should change the cries. Let put the boring nostalgia head somewhere, first generation cries are okay, but not good as the newer generations.(more to the point, they sound weird in advanced games and don’t sound cohesive with others) New generation cries adds uniqeness to each pokemon. For example, this cry sounds like the newer generation cries, like it has a real bird of prey voice. But at the same time it is based on the second generation cry:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmilkk1LpV0
Why not changing them, actually, upgrading them?
Well…
I honestly never thought of it that way. When Benny said “new cries” I was thinking of completely new cries altogether; an overhaul. Didn’t think about •enhancing• the cries to make them sound better. I actually like this idea.
Hell yeah! Enhance the older Gen’s cries and make them modern! Same cries, just less beep-boopy and more life…like? I guess that what the new ones are…
It’d be exciting to hear older cries rejuvenated.
Yes, it would be really exciting my friend 🙂
Okay guys.
I have REAL news to speculate about, not these lazy in 2 minutes made up rumors.
http://saiph-charon.deviantart.com/journal/An-8th-eeveelution-incoming-340690769
false alarm xD
That pic is apparently not new and already revealed that the questionmark was a group photo of them.
Speculation storm leading up to the new generation.
There’s never anything quite like it.
Fewer pokémon sounds good, they went overboard in the last couple of gens. Maybe have 100 pokemon in total, and have 3 legendary pokemon not 14 like in diamond and pearl…
A new type hmmm , well obviously there’s light type, maybe light would defeat dark types in the daytime, and dark would defeat light types in the night time?
And no more HM’s, they’re useless, except for surf and fly.
Can’t wait for this :3
The DARK in the dark type is not the opposite of the light. It is the opposite of the honourable fighting as in the fighting type. So dark vs. light type ideas doesn’t make sense.
Gamefreak please. Do NOT add a new type! It’s just not needed IMO. Our current system works. The only thing I can think of that would be nice is something for Normal to be supereffective against, but the point of normal is to be normally effective to basically everything.
Also not liking the phrasing of “forms” rather than “evolutions”. Even gens always have lots of prevos and evos to existing Pokemon. I want Gen 5’s lot to be fleshed out more. And some other older dudes (Our favourites Tropius and Torkoal for example) could use a prevo or evo too. Maybe if Gen 3 remakes DO come in Gen 6, we will have these Pokemon evolving? Who knows.
I am liking 3D models ingame though. Would like the Pokemon following you back, and customisable trainers too. I still want the Game to feel like a Pokemon game though.
Also liking the possibility of a Colisseum on the Wii U. Means getting it will be twice as justified (Smashbros is the first justification)
I don’t want a new type because 17’s enough. Right?
