Okay, i know what you’re like, so i know your answer to begin with. But i was hoping you could explain WHY everyone is so negative to the idea of “light” type. I mean, it’s not asif it’s too similar to a type already and everyone saying it might ‘break’ the type chat more seem to be basing that on no logic whatsoever. The only other time they added more types (dark and steel) as to fix the thpe chart (abit)

Do you mean ‘negative’ or ‘skeptical’?  Those are two very different things, and there are people going both ways.

I’m not sure I can answer why people might be negative about it, because personally I’m not.  I might have said before that, if I were going to add a new type, I’d go with Light or Holy, although I don’t think the game needs it.  If they are going to add a new type, that’s fine by me.  I can only pray that it does a better job of creating balance than Steel did.

I’m skeptical that this is what they’re doing because I simply don’t think we have sufficient evidence to conclude something like that.  I’ve seen people’s arguments that Ninfia and Xerneas are Light-types, and they do not convince me.  I still think Ninfia is a Bug-type, and I have no clue what Xerneas is, but really, that means little.  How many people picked Palkia as a Water-type before Diamond and Pearl were released?  How many people were convinced Reshiram was going to be a Light-type?

Of course, I don’t think we have sufficient evidence to conclude that they’re not adding Light as an element either.  Since we’re all going to find out sooner or later, I’m not sure what all the fuss is about.  I am the very soul of apathy on this matter.

  1. My _lord_ things like this are so entertaining to look back on. You though Sylveon was a bug type! That’s incredible!
