Stereo Rotom has a unique typing, Electric/Normal. On top of having a form name and not just a special name, this heavily implies it's going to be in the mainline games.I think this only makes the Sound speculation more interesting since a new type was never going to be announced in a spnoff anyway, and Normal is the obvious transition to Sound. It's suspicious how much special treatment it's getting.
>Electric/Normal>unique
>>59010443>Boomburst Rotom will be realHyped
>>59010458Unique in the context of Rotom forms
>new Rotom learns boomburst>fan Rotom STILL has air slash instead of hurricaneThis forme has been one move away from being good since gen 5
>>59010473Don't get too excited, you know they can always cuck it with something like Uproar or Echoed Voice. Or go the boring route and just give it Hyper Voice.
Damn. That's not very interesting.
>>59010443It’s Normal because special Normal-type moves are largely sound-based.
>>59010443yep, I told ya so.
Soundbros................it's over.........
>>59010443if anything this means they are adding this form into WW at the very least
>>59010443>New Regis in Gen 8>New Rotoms in Gen 10You know, that checks out. I wonder if we're getting any more
>>59010443I fucking told all you sound type fuckers, eat shit
>>59010443At this point Sound Type is basically a thing. What do you think the type boosting held item and Arceus plate will be called?>Favored Record>Musical Plate
>>59010588This doesn't kill Sound type though, Pokopia was never going to throw in a new type just 1 week after gen 10 was only announced
>STAB boomburst spammerExploudbros... our niche... a-at least we can hit ghost types...
>>59010443It will become a Sound-type in WW, buy the dip right now and be rewarded tenfold in 2027
>>59010588Indeed. Everyone knows that when a Pokemon is introduced, its typing is set in stone and never ever changes when new Types are added.

Game developers read vp regularly. Whenever somebody comes up with sound type, this idea will never be picked.
>>59010443It WAS Electric/Normal. Fuck the anon in the Sound thread who said it wasn't.This DOES prove, however, that sound is just a special component of Normal - although it opens the door for a distant type change generations later.
I will forever maintain that they will never do "Sound," but something like "Music/Rhythm/Dancing/Festivity" is about on par with Fighting as a concept.
>>59010443>Synthpop>CD>Dollar-tree speakersThis Rotom is a complete failure.
>>590105092 of those moves it already learns
seems kinda odd to just introduce one new rotom form, maybe there will be more alongside it in gen 10 or maybe it actually is just to tie into sound becoming a type
>>59010843Dancing is considered to be Fighting type. See: Meloetta and H-Lilligant
>>59010923No, that's Normal type. Which is why both forms of Meloetta are Normal type. Hisuian Lilligant is Fighting because it attacks with kicks.
I mean it's not like the Rotom forms' typing are supposed to make sense; how is a lawnmower a plant or fungus? It's just to match the STAB of its associated move, which will presumably be either Boomburst or Hyper Voice.If Boomburst ever changes type to Sound, then so too will Stereo Rotom.
>>59010923Also Quaquaval & Hitmontop
>>59010933Makes no sense for it to be Hyper Voice when it already learns it.
>>59010930NTA, but since the one that dances is Fighting, I'd argue that. I feel like had it existed when Meloetta was introduced, Aria Forme would be Normal/Fairy. I feel like the Normal type comes from sound in general.
You know I wish they introduced TV-screen from rotom that acts as a throwback to its first apearence in DPPt, and that it allows it to keep the ghost typing.
>>59010966might be visually too similar to heat
>>59010981I think the can make it bigger and wider enought that it feels distinct. The TV antennas could be made out of the plasma aura it has. I think it could work.
>>59010588>region based on letters/chromosomes>fairy type
>>59010810>Sound is already part of the battle system, you have to be retarded to think sound type is coming.so what's stopping them from just... converting it to a type? They already have a list then.Besides calling it "music" would avoid this pretty handily and some people have suggested as much last thread.
>>59011022Making Sound its own type is like making punching its own type
If it was intended to be a placeholder type, it'd just be pure Electric like Rotom Dex was in the anime, or keep Ghost
>>59011031>FightingI obviously know what you mean but come on man, if they can have such obviously related themes for one move quality and a type why not another? It would even help explain all the non-sound sound-based moves when you compare all the elemental punches.
>>59011038That's possible but there's absolutely no way for you to know that, it's been a decade since rotomdex was introduced and they could have simply changed their mind about how to handle it since then.
>>59010443soundfags in absolute shambles
>>59011057>it's been a decade since rotomdex was introduced
>>59011078https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Punching_moveHas coexisted just fine with the Fighting type and includes non-Fighting type moves, never post on this site again you midwit
>>59010443>B-but must sound typeYou fags know that Sound type will never be a thing right?
>>59010966I've thought this out before, using the TV static to make a hand that physically reaches out to hit the opponent, which keeps it pretty Ghosty
>>59011120Glad we agree Punch should be a type
>>59011149It is a type dumbass
>>59010443Most Pokemon that changed to Fairy type were Normal, just saying
>>59010443no confidence to introduce a new eevee type, goes for another rotom appliance instead. yawn. remember when pokemon used to try?
>>59011326So why should sound be a type, and not the other move classifications? Should there be an aura type, explosion type, dance type or wind type too?
>>59011274They literally can't make a new Eevee unless it's a new type that hasn't been done to death by fans already. They wanted to make a Flying Eevee in SM but every time they came up with a design, someone or some sub-group of GameFreak who was tasked with prowling the internet for any JP designs that might coincidentally be too similar kept telling them "no, this resembles a fan design too much" so they ultimately scrapped it.Sound is one of the most well-known fan types, so naturally there's a long of fakemon Sound Eeveelutions.
>>59010443>Electric/Normal with Levitate and Boomburstthe hopium is real, would use on my WW team instantly>>59010481Don’t forget that Fan Rotom has no real ability. It’s not just the moveset that sucks.Justice for Fan Rotom>>59010588Look, I think I’d also prefer Sound type isn’t added. But it’s still not dead. Obviously they would just make it Normal in Pokopia and then change it to Electric/Sound in WW.
>>59011399>They literally can't make a new Eevee unless it's a new type that hasn't been done to death by fans already. They wanted to make a Flying Eevee in SM but every time they came up with a design, someone or some sub-group of GameFreak who was tasked with prowling the internet for any JP designs that might coincidentally be too similar kept telling them "no, this resembles a fan design too much" so they ultimately scrapped it.The better question is why they waited so long to try and make a new flying Eeveelution? They had all the time in the world to fill out the type charts between gen 1-6.
>>59011399>so naturally there's a long of fakemon Sound EeveelutionsThere are barely any due to it being a non-canon type
>>59011326A lot of words but unable to construct an actual argument.>By that logic, moves like the elemental punches should all be fighting type which is obviously retardedYes, that’s precisely my point, you’re drawing up autistic preconceptions of what is and isn’t Sound when Pokemon themselves blurs the lines all the time. Razor Wind is a Normal-type move, Doom Desire is Steel-type, Bite was once Normal and is now Dark-type. Anyone with a working brain understands how easy it is to establish a distinction between Sound-type and sound-based (not that they even have to, because they’re the developers and can also just retcon the category as Sound’s move base expands), but I understand that’s beyond you. There’s still hope for guys like yourself though, you can get drafted to go die for Israel overseas and be remembered as a hero all while soundchads jody you and crash at your place playing WW on release date on your switch 2 that you saved up so hard to buy.
>>59011460Wow thats crazy anyways google sound eevee fakemon and there's literally endless results.
>>59011438The only generations that didn't have an Eeveelution up to that point were 3 and 5, which were both soft reboots that didn't really do cross-gen evolutions (outside of two babies). And I guess they didn't want to take attention off Sylveon with another one in gen 6.
>>59011478In no way was gen 3 a soft reboot.
>>59011477There are literally 4 rows of results before it starts bringing up non-Sound types. That's nothing compared to fake eeveelutions of existing types
>>59011488you cannot be serious
>>59011488>large pokedex>no ability to transfer mons from GB/GBC>no ability to obtain a large chunk of mons until FRLG and the GCN gamesIt definitely was
>>59011499Cope.
>>59011509If that's all it takes then sure man it can be a soft reboot in your little world. Yeah its a soft reboot if the logos are in the red and blue spectrum, the series has been rebooted 9 times now. Anything is a reboot if you're going to set the bar that low.
>>59011488Maybe it doesn't seem that way in retrospect, but when it happened, it absolutely felt like a soft reboot due to the inability to send Pokemon forward and a good chunk of the Pokemon being gone with no real indication they'd ever be re-added. Of course, NOW you know that you could trade them over from FRLG/Emerald, but at the time that wasn't apparent.
>>59011645There is a status condition with the same exact name as the type that most frequently causes said condition and yet everyone understands this distinction. People (not you, who is having an autistic freakout over a simple concept) can intuitively understand that sound-based moves would include both Bug Buzz (bug-type) and Boomburst (retyped as sound-type) because their brains are capable of understanding nuance in a series that’s full of it. Anyways I’ll see you in 2027 and of course I’ll make sure to screencap your seething as I train a Sound-type Exploud in WW while you’re busy on the front lines of the zog wars over in the middle east.
>>59010443Sound fags on suicide watch
>>59010443Are they gonna make texture and taste types too, OP?
>>59011704Don't forget Smell type

>>59011165Yes, just like Sound is already a type. Glad we agree you’re retarded.
>>59010443Electric/Fairy form leaked.
I didn't for a second think they were going to add a sound type but I am delighted to see spastics were yet agin flat-out-fucking-WRONG when they sperged there HAD to be a new typing on Stereo Rotom.
>>59011743Anon, it's more likely the thing that got /Normal slapped on it will indeed have/Normal on it if it shows up in the mainline games (but frankly it feels a bit like Peakychu and Mosslax - Pokopia-exclusive Rotom that appears in a stereo, as Game Freak wanted to let people change the music tracks and had to sit down and work out how they could do that WHILE adhering to their universe's lore. And Rotom possesses machinery as it is).
>>59011745I will be sure to dance on your grave when Sound-type happens. Reminder: I only get stronger with each trailer
>>59011078>Because converting it to a type would require a complete rework of the perfectly fine existing battle mechanic.same argument for fairy not being real lol
>>59011959Theres no reason a normal stereo or something like it would be against lore.
>>59011078>Soundproof, Throat Spray, and the litany of sound based moves would all require mechanical changes to fit into a type.water absorb... an item that procs when you use a move of a type.... just not changing the mechanics because types already have specific unique mechanisms... not to mention ignoring the suggestion of it being music where sound-based would still be exactly what it is now with a lot of music moves being sound-based but not all... seems like a strange thing to get hung up on. It's a trivial set of barriers. It's alright if you don't think it'll be added, you're probably right, but it's not impossible or even hard for it to be added. That's just silly.
>>59011402It doesn't need an ability. Its typing and stats are good when paired with WoW. All it needs is a strong flying move to spam.
I think Champions could give us a hint if sound type will happen or not.I'd imagine they wouldn't want to change up types for their super competitive game if they can help it. If every potential sound pokemon like exploud and noivern is suspiciously absent from Champions, I think that could be cause to speculate
>>59011326you in 14 years:>Obviously Cosmic couldn't be a type. They've had Spatial moves as a mechanic for 10 years and having Punch-based or Sound-based moves has never meant that the moves they're tied to are fighting or music type either you moron. By that logic, moves like the elemental punches should all be fighting type and moves like the elemental songs would all be music type, which is obviously retarded.
>>59011754>We already have Fairy type, nerd.
>>59010443>Sound type loses yet again>Regal type stays winning
>>59012138This is important to note too, Champions would have to suddenly retcon a lot of Pokemon out of nowhere if they introduce another new type that changes the properties of currently-existing moves and mons.It's one thing if the change happens across games, but having it happen abruptly during an ongoing service game would be jarring.
>>59012155First argument all thread that even touches at bring convincing. Pokemon has never patched a game like a live service game, updating all the mons like that would just be too much.
>>59012155>>59012161I've been a bit nervous that they'll be reluctant to balance types now that Champions is a thing.I'd prefer if rock and ice didn't stay useless forever
>>59012154I'd rather be allies than enemies, regal type sounds cool to me.
>>59012138>>59012155Champions is gonna be getting updates every new generation regardless, it's not gonna be stuck in perpetual gen 9 rules. If they add sound type in gen 10 they'll just update all the old mons that gain sound.
>>59012450Sure, but nothing as major as "hey, this move/mon is a different type now! Have fun!", just number changes and maybe a few more abilities gaining interactivity with Intimidate.
>>59012452>hey, this move/mon is a different type now! Have fun!They will absolutely have to do major changes like this to follow what gen 10 does. This also includes moveset and stat changes that come with WW.
>>59010443Blatantly gonna be turned into Sound type in WiWa. Normal has always been the placeholder for Sound.
>>59010443>pokedex entries in pokopiaSo I guess this means the other new forms have this too? Do we have pics of the other entries like Mosslax?
>>59011438I think GF wasn't aware of how hyper popular eeveelutions were until after the outcry for them being absent in Ruby & Sapphire, and BW had the whole no cross-gen thing going on.
>>59011438Eeveelutions have become so popular that they likely refuse to release a new one unless they can come up with the absolute most perfect design.
>>59012517How can one man be so daft to not see the obvious point being made?

>>59010443>DUDE rotom EVERYTHINGim tired boss...
>>59012514Found Snorlax from a random video and it's still just normal type.
>Stereo Rotom>still no Mono Rotom
>>59012500Sound has and will always be an effect, rather than an intrinsic elemental affinity. All pokémon make sounds, that's why sound-based moves are Normal type. Because it's normal, in a world where there's elemental magiacal monsters running around they'd find ways to weaponise their vocalisations (boomburst/sound wave explosion - literally screeching hard and loud enough to damage opponents physically) or use it to bolster themselves (Howl) or disadvantaging their opponent (Growl). It doesn't however make sense that any or many would find affinity with sound, when sounds are vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach the ears of humans or animals (or pokémon). In fact, the few sound based moves that aren't normal, end up aligned with a differing type as an intrinsic value of the associated type (grasswhistle, producing sound from blades of grass, Parting Shot a shouted threat channeling Dark type energy to lower an opponent's stats or Snarl using Dark type energy to deal damage AND break the will of the opponent). Face it, sound is part of the realworld-ish physics they transplanted from the real world - gravity, apparently carbon-based human(oids, they're more than us humans, they can tank pokémon moves without getting fucked right up) breathing oxygen, living in a world where water is apparently H2O like on earth, etc. It's no more a magical elemental type than sex type.
>>59012573this falls into the same fallacy that arguing against Fighting or Dark would. Those are just behaviors and skills. >Fighting has an always will be just ways to describe moves, rather than an intrinsic elemental affinity. All Pokemon fight, that's why Mega Punch and Mega Kick are normal-type. Because it's normal, in a world where there's elemental magiacal [sic] monsters running around they'd find ways to weaponise [sic] their combat.>Dark has and will always be techniques rather than an intrinsic elemental affinity. All pokémon make can trick others, that's why Facade and Fake Out are Normal type. Because it's normal, in a world where there's elemental magiacal [sic] monsters running around they'd find ways to weaponise [sic] their skullduggery.I don't think it's guaranteed by ANY stretch to say that sound would be added. It's probably more likely it WON'T. But these so-called arguments just don't stand up to scrutiny. The truth of the matter is that sound (or music, or whatever) is either going to get added or not added purely by gamefreak's whims, not by whether it makes sense or not. Lots of people said this stuff for fairy, and while I was too young to notice it I'm sure some people complained about Dark and Steel being added, too.
>>59012138>>59012155So there are some old mons that would obviously be updated to sound type like Exploud, Chatot, and Jigglypuff. Looking at all the revealed pokemon so far for Champions none of them fit the bill for being a sound type in the future. It's possible that Champions intentionally avoids adding any mons planned to be turned into sound types until gen 10 arrives.https://serebii.net/pokemonchampions/pokemon.shtml
>>59012547Rotom is the biggest shill mon of them all and I'm tired of pretending it's not
>>59012629really small sample size though, absolutely nothing certain so far. And Kommo-o could easily be Sound-type if they wanted as well so it might already have a negative ping.Definitely worth it to keep track, though, just to see if it lends any clues.
>>59012647Oh Kommo-O would absolutely be sound type, that's pretty damning.Not to say that they can't update the types later, but there goes that theory that they might be avoiding sound pokemon
>>59012625No anon, it doesn't. Being facetious will not in fact help you to convince me an intrinsic part of the pokémon world should be an element. Fighting is based off eastern martial arts, which teach discipline as well as how to split someone's head open (and the discipline to not run around splitting people's heads open just because), the culture's history and use of them in various times informed the universe of having pokémon that have that same discipline (nearly all fightingmons are based off a related martial art, with boxing, kickboxing and bodybuilding being used in Gen 1 alone). Dark occurred as a mirror to Fighting - using underhanded, deceitful or flat-out scumbag tricks to gain victory (but from a meta standpoint, as they needed to try and nerf psychic) or being a facetious prick to try and argue a retarded viewpoint. Sounds can be any type, if the user channels energy into it, but can't actually be an energy that affects the world around it. And the Types are all elemental energies that infuse the world.
>>59010763don't forget can learn diaper beam
Show me what Noiseon would look like
>>59010443very cool rotom form, fits in very nicely with the others.sound type enthusiasts need to come to terms with reality
>>59012687What you said here is entirely illogical.

How is "pokemon that participates in kickboxing" any more worthy of being a distinct type than "pokemon that has a unique physiology adapted to sound generation"??? >Sounds can be any type, if the user channels energy into it, but can't actually be an energy that affects the world around it.

Because the latter two have some explanation for why they're totally more nuanced and artistically valid, or something? They have a HISTORY as if acoustic practices like music don't?

doubt they will. fairy felt like a big bandaid to nerf dragons who were shitting all over everything before then.the typechart issues as of now are nothing in comparison.
>>59010443>Electric/Normal Sound typefags on suicide watch lol
>>59012792If sound type buffs bug then it will serve it's purpose.
I for one wouldn't mind if a bunch of Normal moves got retyped to Sound. Normal always worked better as the miscellaneous "can be anything" type.
>>59012866Sound type will resist bug because fuck you
>>59010621>Exploudbros... our nicheThat was Swellow's, actually
>>59012868Which is exactly why Sound moves that aren't any other type go into NormalSound works fine as an attribute. Gen 6 making sound moves bypass Substitute is enough to give it an identity without making it a full on type
>people thinking rotom getting normal means sound isn't comingIt confirms it if anything. They won't introduce a new type in a random spinoff game.
Must be a Copium leak in here
Noivern, Kommo-o, Primarina, Toxtricity, and Skeledirge are all already heavily themed around sound AND already have dual typings
>>59013038Liquid Voice and Punk Rock would function exactly the same even if Sound moves get their own type.
>>59012711don't forget a trust fund kid killed Ballio

>>59013038If I were in charge I'd finally introduce triple types into the series alongside SoundMusic?, with these being some big examples. Could retroactively hit a BUNCH of mons with that, too.
>soundWAVES travel on the WINDholy shit it's actually happening
A new type is not happening, there's no overpowered type that needs a counter
>>59013086Yeah man poison was so OP they had to add Steel.
>>59013038Ok and Flygon could be Bug/Dragon, the Rotom appliances are still Ghosts, and Lugia has a case to be a Water-type. They’re just outlier case Pokemon that use a sound motif in their design/concept, it doesn’t represent the entirety of the Pokemon. Noivern is the only one with a strong case>>59013060Every argument against Sound-type ends up being an argument in favor of it.
>>59013067>>59013071soundfags are somehow even more retarded than expected
Would be awkward to introduce a new type right after a generation that's entire gimmick was types and it's final legendary was a turtle with a picture of each type on it's shell.
>>59013086No but the type chart is in need of balancing, Tera exposed how many Pokemon default to wanting to be Fairy/Water/Steel etc, and some tera types were almost never used.
>>59013147SV is not canon.
>>59013147True, although maybe that's why they gave Terapagos an unnecessary transformation whenever it enters a battle. If they add new types they can retcon the battle form without altering the "actual" Pokemon and justify it as "Terapagos was gathering the type energies in that region" or some BS.
>>59013145It's not like triple types haven't been heavily requested for decades. What, do you think that would somehow break the game and be impossible for gf to add, too?
>>59013177In your dreams maybe
>>59013086Seems strange to say "no no there HAS to be an issue with a specific overpowered type for them to introduce a new type" as if a sample size of 2 is enough to determine gamefreak's decision making with full certainty over the course of 30 years. Not to mention they sorta-halfway added a type last gen already for no reason.
>>59011402>WWWind Waker ?
>>59013086There are underpowered types that could use a new type to bully
>>59013230>WiWaWind Waker?
Sound-type IS dead.It would've been completely acceptable to believe in it in Gens 3 to 5, but from Gen 6 onwards it has fully integrated itself as a property of moves spread across various types with its own interactions, and even Liquid Voice. If one were to introduce the Sound-type and replace every Sound-based move's typing with the new Sound-type, it would truly fuck a lot of shit up. Same reason why we'll never get Light-type, except with stronger backing.Yes, Light-type is leagues more likely than Sound-type. You're better off begging for the Light-type.
>>59013288something something punch moves, something something gamefreak can do whatever they want, something something these arguments were there for fairy too, blah blah blahanyone claiming "Sound type is IMPOSSIBLE because of these arbitrary rules I made up!" is as much of an idiot as anyone claiming "Sound-type confirmed! This new rotom form is 100% proof!"
>1999 > 2013>2013 > 202714 years is the magic numberSee you in 2041
>>59013305OK, can you name any damaging moves that have been changed to Fairy-type in Gen 6? Or a battle property akin to the Fairy-type (not counting fog since it was only upgraded into Misty Surge after Fairy-type)
>>59013201How does being heavily requested make it more likely to be added? Pokemon is a casual game, most of the intended audience can't even remember the type chart. 3rd types are never going to happen outside of in battle gimmicks.
>>59011842That’s electric/ ground with earthquake
>>59013251WinWav wins
>>59013365Why do you think it not happening before means it can't happen again? Also just fyi a new type HAS had damaging moves retyped before: Bite went from Normal to Dark.>But- that's different! It was a different time then! Different rulesUh, yeah? So there's nothing stopping gamefreak from doing something that you, personally, don't expect. Fairy had 3 moves changed to the new type. Cool. None of them were damaging. Cool. That somehow means Sound can't do that? Nah, that's dumb. You're saying "it never happened before" but your sample size is 3 types across 2 instances with 14 years separating eachother and 14 years since the last time it happened. (just a coincidence by the way, I don't think it's a magic number or anything.)It doesn't matter if they have to change some types for more moves than before, or work around a move quality, or have to decide what to do with some existing sound-themed dual-types: none of those preclude its addition. You're free to find it less likely because of them, but don't delude yourself into thinking that it's some smoking gun.
>>59013425>there's nothing stopping gamefreakThere's nothing stopping them from making a Pokemon sex game either but you don't see retards fighting for that. If your entire argument boils down to "uh it could happen I guess" then you don't have one in the first place.
>>59013466that's not how arguments work, and it's not how this entire discussion has been going.>here's this evidence>UH IT WON'T HAPPEN CUS UM YOU KNOW THEY NEVER CHANGED ANY NORMAL MOVES TO FAIRY OR WELL AT LEAST ANY DAMAGING ONES ALSO IGNORE BITE IN GEN 2
>>59010443The rotoms were better when they just got the new move without their type changing from electric/ghost
>>59013425>>590134871 Normal type move getting changedvs
Can you imagine Pixilate Hyper Voice just... no longer being a thing?
What other concepts for Rotom forms can you see go nicely with the others?
>>59013632Not all of them would be changed, and even still... why would that even make it less likely? It's not like it would be hard to swap their types, it's literally just changing a value for a few entries.
>>59013650Honestly? Just do a Combiner mecha at this point. Mega Rotom perhaps?
>>59013642Music might be more likely in which case that would probably stay the same
>>59011399>They wanted to make a Flying Eevee in SM but every time they came up with a design, someone or some sub-group of GameFreak who was tasked with prowling the internet for any JP designs that might coincidentally be too similar kept telling them "no, this resembles a fan design too much" so they ultimately scrapped it.the way this mistranslation has evolved into it a narrative of its own is truly fascinating
>>59013147just pull an arbok and update its design in the new generation lol
>>59013632There’s 8-9 on there that should be changed, that’s it>>59013719Pokemon fans love their bad headcanon
>>59013719What is the proper translation then?
Can't wait for the autistic debates about whether Stereo Rotom is consdiered a Gen 9 form because it debuted in a spin-off between Gens 9 & 10 or a Gen 10 form because its first mainline appearance will be in Gen 10.
>>59013832it appeared in gen 9 so it's a gen 9 form. That's how it's always been.
>>59013832it doesn't really matter, but it should go by whichever mainline game it appears in first similar to mons like bonsly munchlax and lucario, which is gen 10
Sound type just fragments normal type further which already got fragmented by fairy type. And it just gives ice another weakness it didn't need. The real problem type is water type because stupid retards sperg out when anything that lives in that thing most of the planet is made of isn't a water type.
>>59013864>fragmenting Normal typenot an issue really>ice another weaknessIce would resist Sound, snow dampens it very effectively, it's why winter is so quiet.>the real problem is waterWhich Sound would definitely hit SE, just like Steel, Fairy, and Ghost.
>>59013466>There's nothing stopping them from making a Pokemon sex game eitherDesperate times lead to desperate decisions, anon. You never know.
>>59013864>Oh no the second most common lost like 5% of its mons, it's fragmented beyond belief and ruined forever
>>59010443>The Sound type project has started!
So if sound really does become a type... how the hell do they design physical sound moves? Currently every single sound attack is special.
>>59014405Guitar SmashStrum your opponentRaping them
>>59014405Clapping your handsHeadbangDancing
>>59014405>clapbasic 40bp physical move>rapid tappinga multihit physical move
>>59014405>some sort of supersonic dashing attack that a bird of prey pokemon could learn>loud vibration that physically shakes the ground too (learned by Seismitoad)>tuning fork bashing move, attack power is different for each type?
SoundKEKs lost and will never win in the foreseeable future. Too many Pokemon already have a dancing/music theme to change their typing
>>59014480>Raping themleave the music industry out of this

there is no sound type. and soundproof ability makes you immune to sound
>>59014993>soundproof ability makes you immune to sound...and?
>>59014993There will be. And Soundproof will uh, make you immune to Sound moves.
>>59015015>>59015118yep, will not work.
>>59015198>They couldn't possibly make sound a type because uhhhhhhh there's an ability that makes you immune to those types (I MEAN KINDS) of moves... like a "sound absorb"... Such a stupid concept. Would NEVER fit in pokemon.
>>59015198How would it be any different to Levitate, Water Absorb, etc.?
>>59014405This is why I advocate for the type to instead be called something like Music or Rhythm and the physical side could mostly be multi-hit dancing-themed attacks.
>>59014405The same way physical electric moves work.
>>59014405Reverse of Rock type where physical involves literally smacking the opponent with minerals and special moves involve attacking with abstract values of rare minerals like gems and fossils. Special Sound moves would be literally hitting the opponent with sound waves while physical Sound moves would be hitting them "to the beat."
>>59010613pokopium
>>59015306>>59015342soundfag cope
Would Wailord, Palafin, or Cetitan gain the Sound type? Nothing in their Pokedex entries about sounds but it's a huge part of their IRL animal counterparts and seems like an easy way to add type combo variety, which I assume played a role in some of the choices for the Fairy retcons.
>>59014405Percussion attacks, physical moves that leave a sonic impact and have the foe’s ears ringing, multi or consecutive hit moves with the physical hits done according to some kind ot rhythmic cadence or time signature (obviously just in a flavor sense). Most of Psychic’s physical attacks are in normal-type moves with a psychic adjective slapped in front.
>>59015198Sounds broken, imagine if you could be immune to Ground or Water or Grass-type moves. Imagine there were some types that were immune to other types completely, would be a balance nightmare!>>59015372Probably better to just use the concept for a new Pokemon instead
>>59015372I think Wailord could get it but I think it's not terribly necessary, they could always add another whale/dolphin mon that's themed after echolocation primarily. A mono-sound pink river dolphin would be sick actually.
>>59015372I'd say Cetitan should get it because it currently has the longest cry of any Pokemon and because GF would use any excuse to not make new Ice types.
>>59011488Get a load of this zoomer retard
>>59013288>Yes, Light-type is leagues more likely than Sound-type. You're better off begging for the Light-type.I don't think Sound-type is coming, but absolutely not. Light fits firmly in existing types (depending on physical light or "goodness" you can use Electric, Fire, Psychic, Fighting, or Fairy). Gamefreak has removed attacks, changed mechanics...it would be more likely Sound is introduced with gameplay mechanics altered than Light becoming a type.
>>59011520remind me when you couldn't transfer gen 3 to DP. Or gen 4 to BW. Or Gen 5 to XY. Or gen 6 to SM. And no, being locked to post game doesn't count. They were all still immediately available/ Best you got is Home support being delayed for the Switch era, but even then people knew it was coming. You could still transfer up. Something that was never available for Gen 2>3
>>59012718Tail looks like a metronome, ears and limbs like music notes, neck fluff that looks like headphones, smaller eyes than all the others.
Is this a good color for Sound? It feels pretty Normal to me.
>>59016399I've seen a lot of teal for a Sound-type, and the "coming soon..." post used a music note with a teal background. Regardless, Normal type = sound. So either way, it fits.
>>59016399It's funny. It feels neutral enough to remain Normal if there are zero plans for a new type, but also distinct enough to become the color for a new type. In fact it's probably closest to ??? of all things.
>>59014405>Drum Club>Mic Drop>Sonic Punch>Earthshake>Rock n Roll>Resonance>Rythmic Combat>Clap>Ear Slap>String Trap>Bell Throw>On Beat>Clef Sword
>>59010443I don't think this is the only new Rotom form we're getting.
>>59016453Ew, Gen 5-7 colors are garbage. There needs to be an orange for balance. Fire/Fighting need to be red and orange (or vice versa), not red and brown.
>>59016399If it's that minty/teal/seafoam color it doesn't look very "normal" to me but it's ambiguous enough that it could just be a simple design choice like >>59016409 said. Not a smoking gun but it's curious.
>>59016453I miss two tone type colors
>>59015992Im 35, you're just wrong.
>>59016486DISCOMBOBULATE
>>59016645Same. It made perfect thematic sense for Flying and Ground. Dragon I think should've been the colors of the 3 starter types or even RGBY to represent all 4 of its resists.Maybe I'm a retard but the type colors have been very hard for me to distinguish since LGPE. Multi-stripe colors would help a lot.
>>59016645>>59016709swapping to every type being two-tone and/or a gradient would be good for future-proofing imo
>>59010481Rotom-Fan wouldn't be good with Hurricane because Hurricane is dogshit. 70 accuracy is back breaking. It'd be far too inconsistent for a Rotom form and still outclassed by Zapdos, Oricorio, and Kilowattrel. Rotom-F needs a new ability and some more Flying type moves. If it just learned Roost instead of Air Slash it'd be a viable contender for best Rotom form.
>>59016751Hurricane would still be better than Air Slash
>>59013914So what's SE to sound
>>59013038Pokemon that could be 3 types have existed since Gen 1. Not to mention the Fighting type existing doesn't mean Fire Punch, Ice Punch, and Mega Punch have to be Fighting type just like Sound existing doesn't mean that Clanging Scales, Bug Buzz, or Psychic Noise have to be Sound type
>>59013086Fairy is stronger than Dragon was in Gen 5. And just like Dragon, it can cover all of the types that resist it with just 1 coverage move (Ground type).
>>59014405>... how the hell do they design physical Psychic moves? Currently every single Psychic attack is special.
>>59016775Poison (getting sick messes up your voice)Psychic (telepathically fucks up your ability to perform)Bug (crawls down your throat)Water (drowns you out, plus I'd really love for 2 types to hit each other super effectively again)
>>59016793Actually that's true. Becuase what the hell is this?Psyblade/Psycho Cut/Psychic Fangs - literally no cohesion, just psychic energy on sword or fangsZen Headbutt - head is used for thinking? at least there's somethingPsyshield Bash - headbutting while using force field? awesomeHeart Stamp - makes sense, it's touching, but it has some psychic theme, it's like a kissOther:Shattered Psyche/G-Max Gravitas/Max MindstormPsychic type can't really do physical theme well.
>>59016775this is my personal list of sound-type interactions>Sound hits super-effectivelySteel (Vibrations weakening metal)Water (Passes through water very well)Fairy (Saying their true name)Ghost (Exorcism)>Sound hits not very effectivelyGrass (Can't penetrate dense foliage)Ice (Doesn't travel well in snow)Bug (Bugs don't get hurt by sound the same way other animals do)Psychic (Focused enough to ignore the noise)>Hits Sound super-effectivelyIce (Cold makes sound travel less effectively, so it puts up less of a resistance)Bug (They don't care about sound and can pierce through it)Psychic (They can attack through any sonic barrier)>Hits Sound not very effectivelyFire (gets repelled by sound waves)Water (gets dispersed easily by the vibrations)Ground (Dust and sand is blown away by the sound)>ImmuneSound (Immune to itself; sound cancels out sound)could easily change a couple things but this makes sense and would balance things really nicely IMO
>>59011488In no way were you alive at the time.
Next you fags will ask for beam type or punch type
>>59016837>>59016872Clearly just wishful thinking. Bug SE is a dead giveaway.
>>59016919diaper beam lol
>>59016872"vibrations weakening metal"I feel like sound should be neutral to steel. Plus isn't metal amazing for musical instruments. You have drums, bells, harp and guitar strings, etc.it's kind of hard to be a defensive type if you have 4 weaknesses, if u really want to nerf steel, I would take away the psychic resist.
>>59016853Some types just aren't meant to have that many physical or special moves. It's okay if Sound ended up being the same way because Psychic and Electric barely have any physical options and Fighting and Rock barely have any special options.
>>59016980>>59016872It's more like Sound waves would pass right through the steel exterior and damage the sensitive internal organs underneath. I could see it being Neutral or SE.
>>59012711>diamond/pearl beam
>>59017003Nonsense, they just lack creativity>Barrier Crush>Phantom Arm>Gravity Toss>Mental Kiss>Autosuggestion (target feels physical pain)
>>59016952Pokemon types are just elemental energies. You can make up any bullshit interaction you want.
In the information section for Pokémon Champions it states there will be “special mystery gift” distributions for Champions only, and that these distributions are not allowed to be put into HOME or travel to other games.I’m guessing these Pokopia forms will be distributed through Champions (remember Professor Tangrowth was also given a mainline box sprite) when a save file for Pokopia is recognized and be locked to only Champions for some kind of fun new gimmicky Battle set to promote people buying the game.The dream of travelling new regions with your new Rotom DJ bro is not happening.
>>59014505I imagine some of the blacker Pokémon, could get the "Clap" move to represent, them "clapping the a** cheecks" of the opponents Pokémon, as often happens in real life...
>>59010540You know, basically every pokemon that would be sound type is currently normal.
Guys, guys, there is no sound type. Music type is however 100% real.
What's the percent chance we get the Nigger type in Winds and Waves?Stereo Rotom has a unique typing, Electric/Normal. On top of having a form name and not just a special name, this heavily implies it's going to be in the mainline games.I think this only makes the Nigger speculation more interesting since a new type was never going to be announced in a spnoff anyway, and Normal is the obvious transition to Nigger. It's suspicious how much special treatment it's getting.
>>59010443On the topic of new Rotom formsYou guys think they'll actually do it this time, it's been forever?And if so, do you think we'll get any of the previously non playable Rotoms?
>>59017328Lots of people need to develop sudden strokes and heavy mental handicaps, but the percentage is never zero.
>>59017146Dont be willfully stupid, there is an effort to have them make sense.
>>59017051Psychic type equivalent to Poltergeist would be kinda obvious as well
>>59010458New angry birds looking good
>>59017247Vibration Type chads rise up
>>59012625If anything its like Flying since Flying is more of an attribute than it is a type. Hell they should get rid of Flying type altogether because any dual Flying type immediately gets fucked by a ton of double weaknesses out the ass. I dont know why Ice gets more hate than Flying desu.
>>59010443It's over soundbros...
