I think that it would beat Dark and Ghost, and it wouldn't do much to the Fire and Grass types. OOOH! I know! POISON would be good against it! The Poison type is terrible offensively, so this could put it back in place. Dragon would also be good against it, I sink.

It would be super effective to dark, dragon, and ghost
Dark, poison, and psychic would be super effective to it. I like the idea of dark and light being 2 opposing types that are both effective and weak against the other. I also like the idea of electric and light being a lose-lose. They both are weak against the other. Last edited by Buizel456; May 17, 2010 at 03:47:30 PM. Reason: Typo |

Lite Type would be the most broken type ever, you guys. They won't put it in the games, I'm too epic. It'll end up breaking the fighting system.
A Light type should be x2 effective against Ghost and Dark. It'll at least fix the Sableye/Spiritomb thing. |

never played them Q.Q

That would explain it then.
Curse is ??? type. It's not like the mystery flavor in Dum-dums and airheads that it could be this or it could be that. It's just like any other type. It just only has one pokemon to match it. (Arceus) |

But yea. Super effective against dark and ghost. Although I can't think of anything that would hit it hard. Maybe normal type? |

*facepalm*
It is a "type." They have their weaknesses and strengths, as well as a whole cash crop of Shadow type attacks to choose from (Shadow Sky, Shadow Rush, Shadow Hold, etc.) If nintendo tried to make a shadow type, they would probably be criticized for being unoriginal. We already have shadow type! Come up with something else! AND, if they plan on extending that series (it's possible) then having shadow type pokemon would make the whole purpose of the games fail. |

Maybe. Normal should get some sort of type trump, its basically only weakness is Fighting and it can't do much else to other types. A Light type being able to break the Spiritomb/Sableye typing and is still balanced by Normal type would work well.

Now that I'm done correcting all of you (its kinda fun), I personally wouldn't care for one, but it could play in well with the storyline of White/Black. I would imagine it being super-effective to dark and vice-versa, however the only strategic advantage of Sableye, and to some extent Spiritomb, is that they have no weaknesses, defeating the purpose. The Light-type is also in many ways the same thing as the electric type. |

I'd actually enjoy a new type to shake things up, and taking somewhat from others here's what I think it's strengths/weakness would be:
-Light-type moves vs. Dark, Psychic, Dragon, Ghost, Water, and Ice would be super effective. -Light Moves vs. Electric, Fire, Grass(maybe a Light Absorb ability, where if a light-type move hits a grass Pokémon, they heal some HP), Ground, and Rock would be not very effective. -Light-type Pokemon being hit by a Ghost wouldn't effect it. -A Light-type Pokemon being hit by a Dark or Poison move would be super effective. I don't think it would be game-shaking enough to make everyone fear Light-types and make them over or under powered, I think it would be a nice addition though. (and if you think that Light would be too overpowered by my type strength/weakness listings, then just pack a Houndoom and you'll beat any and all Light-types pretty easily.

Think of it as a big movie hero being pitted against a dragon. The hero would win, and therefore Light vs. Dragon = super effective. |

But if there were to be a light type in the new games, here's how it should be (click spoiler):
Spoiler Alert:
If I think of anything else that deserves to be on any of the lists, I will post them |

And then there's dark because sometimes dark does prevail.(however light is still SE against Dark due to Light prevailing most of the time) Also, just thought of it, there could be a Pokemon that is Light/Steel that is like a Samurai(already done in Gallade, but oh well). That or a special ability where if a Light type uses a Steel move, it's powered up.(think of a hero using a sword/katana/etc.) Last edited by OMGITSJAD; April 16, 2010 at 11:16:35 AM. |

Let me make this clear: Dark =/= evil in Pokemon. It, simply put, is just what would be "unfair" if Pokemon battling was a real sport. Pokemon have been established to be not good nor evil, just following what their trainer tells them to do. Light, therefore, is not likely to be a type.
But if it was, I'd go for literal light, i.e. Flash and similar. That would certainly throw a curveball at the Light-requesters. As for what it would do, I'd imagine it as being a mostly status- and stat-related type with little offensive moves because, really, how do you attack someone with light? |

I was speaking to nobody in particular, but to the people who thought Light would bring in a Good vs. Evil dynamic into Pokemon. Sorry if you interpreted it as directed to you. |

SOMETHING DIFFERENT! I didn't think of that though. It would make sense if they beat each other though because light can over-power dark and vice versa. Last edited by Quadcentruo; April 19, 2010 at 11:35:13 AM. |
