Hypothetical Types

I remember having light and heal type pokemon in fake games of mine xD

And, in my older fake series, i also had 'cosmic' and 'dream'. Which were mainly types for the main legendaries of those games :P
 
i used to be a big fan of the light type, but i think between fairy, electric, and normal it's not really necessary anymore.
i'm not sure what types i'd add. i haven't seen any fake types that made me go "oh that's smart!" in a long time. i guess maybe i'd like some renaming of types, like flying -> wind/air, or grass -> plant.
the fan-made gaiien pokédex has some derivative types like crystal types and toxic types and whatnot which is kind of a neat idea but i'm not sure i'd put it in my own work—i think it strays too far from the main vibe of pokémon for me.
 
Personally I have never been a fan of alternative types, though I was excited by the idea of triple-typed 'mons. Once I created a chandelier fakemon (before Chandelure; I was inspired by a chandelier at my grandparents') that was grass/ghost/steel, which I now realize is Basically Dhelmise.
 
Honestly the thing about Pokemon is that its type structure is getting a little old and creaky (I mean for Pete's sake it's almost 30) and there's not a lot of ways they can give types fluidity without absolutely crushing other types.

I remembered going over Flying Press to see if there was some 'mon it could hit for 8x damage, and it can't. hit for supereffective damage on more than 1 type at a time. I feel a lot of type fluidity is locked behind those concerns.
 
Sound Type

Weak to: Normal (because the most simple of things can disrupt noises), Dragon (aaaah Dragons!!! so why not?)
Strong to: Fairy (I dunno, try screaming at a hatterene/cutiefly/clefable and see how that goes for you), Steel (some noises can totally DESTROY metal and steeel), Water (idk why not)
Immune to: NOTHING
 
One of my favorite gag types i've come up with is a SWEETS type, which is basicly a type for all the sugary junky themed stuff pokemon xP

Had to mention that. Probably pops up in my head every now and then cos I am so girly lol
 
Maybe bird type could be the resulting type combination of normal and flying, i.e. a bird monotype = a normal-flying dual-type. That way you could do triple types without having to add a third type (e.g a steam type that is fire/water, or a marsh type that is water/ground).
