I doubt they'll be adding any new types. The game was already balanced around the 17 types we have, randomly throwing in even one new type could completely destroy the viability of certain Pokemon and screw up the meta.

Wrong. You could add a type which is mainly for double battles which provides support best, or a type which is meant for breeding whihc it can breed with any pokemon to determine things such as stats or personalities. In battle, they could just be weak to all types, or have every type do normal damage to it, no supereffective and no weak moves.

You mean Ditto?

I was referring to the effects it would have on the metagame, not in-game. Read please.

In fairness the metagame is entirely based off of in-game stats, you're getting a little snarky.  

 

So characters now no longer have their heads locked in one direction? And those graphics... This is a step above all other gens

Nothing beats pixel art. But yeah this does confirm that the game isn't grid based like the others.

Game Freak is fully aware of and very mindful of the competitive community and won't add things like excessive typing for the sake of preserving the metagame.

Tf is that

Ik I'm gonna get hate, but I've lost my liking of the series. This new game looks terrible. The 3d really doesn't look that good, and did I seriously see a car in a pokemon game? I'm pulling out my gba and playing the first few gens
