I dunno. The thing is, we already have problems with keeping the weaknesses and resistances straight. Mostly with dual type pokemon, but still. They haven't added a type since 2nd gen, and the new type would have lower numbers than Dragon or any other, unless they retcon older pokemon. I just don't see them doing it. The game has quite a bit of unexplored typing, and throwing a new type in means people now have to memorize a whole new type's weaknesses and resistances. More over, aside from light (which, if they were going to do it, seems like the most likely choice), I haven't actually heard a decent idea. Holy? Pure? The thing about pokemon is the typing tends to have some logic behind what is weak to what. What would a 'pure' type be weak to, or good against?
