CloseWhat sort of new types if any would you want to see in Pokemon? And what would they be strong against, weak against, resistant to, and ineffective toward?
Also, I'm bringing this up cause while looking through my closet the other day I found my old manual for Pokemon Yellow Version and couldn't help remembering that I always felt the Electric type should have one other weakness since its the only type besides Normal to have one weakness. Is that not an issue? Do they balance the Electric type in some other way that I'm not seeing?
I was thinking that Fiary type could be changed to be strong against electric since magic has powers beyond the laws of physics where as electric technology is bound by the laws of physics. I think thats a good enough reason to make fairy type strong against Electric. -\(ouo)/-
A Rubber type would work to but I'm guessing Rubber type wouldn't be popular. Since Rubber comes from a tree I guess you could argue for Grass to be srng against Electric but I dont think so since Rubber is a very specific plant substance so Grass probably wouldn't do.
Anyway types I would like to include are:
Sound Type
Strong against - Ghost, Psychic, and Dark (maybe Ice)
Weak against - Flying,Fairy,Electric, and Space-time
Resists - Psychic, Steel
Resisted by - Water, Flying and Ground
Inneffective to - Space-time
Uneffected by - Dark
Space-time Type
Strong against - Normal, Ground, Electric and Space-time
Weak against - Fairy, and Ghost
Resists - Normal, Poison, Electric and Psychic
Resisted by - Psychic, Fairy, Dark, and Dragon
Inneffective to - N/A
Uneffected by - Sound

Grass is at least resistant to Electric, so that's something. Electric types are generally fast and fragile, and their element is important, but fairly niche. Electric only beats Water and Flying, so it's not great for coverage, and they have few resistances, so that's how they balance out.
Typing has always been a slightly sore spot for me with Pokémon. I'm honestly surprised you don't have Light on your list already. That and Sound are the two I'd like to see best. Wind is another obvious one, but Flying is pretty much that already.
For Light, I'd have it be effective against Dark, but Dark would also be effective against it. Grass, Fire, Ice, and Steel would all resist it, but it would additionally beat Ghost and Water. For its own weaknesses, it would lose to Bug and maybe Grass.
For Sound, I would append what you mentioned to include that it beats Rock and Steel (solids are susceptible to vibration).
I also once concocted additional strengths and weaknesses for other types so everything has at least three types they beat and two that beat them. I let Poison beat Water, Dark beat Electric, Ghost beat Fighting, and Electric beat Steel. I think that was the gist of it; I can't remember the rest.

Poison being strong against Water is genius man!
Something like Muk could definitely pollute Water.
I used to think Light would be good but since they made the Fairy type, I feel like that was GameFreak's like unique way to have a light type, know what I mean?
That said they could have Light as well since it can have different attributes as you pointed out.
Also thanks for explaining the balancing stuff about Electric type. :D
