    This would be fantastic for a spin-off Pokémon game. Spin-off games never see competitive metas based entirely off of them, and they can get away with weird gimmicks that rework how Pokémon works. You wouldn’t have to worry about competitive players - outside of a niche that would want to play with it - and it would make for a very interesting and refreshing experience, as well as having a higher skill cap if it fits the gameplay well! (Legends Arceus reworks the Pokédex, removed Pokémon breeding, reworks EVs, changes the game progression, battle mechanics, and turn order; Pokémon spin-offs CAN do things like this, but it would have to be the ONLY change they make)

    The answer is yes and no. Eternatus uses Infinite Energy but more like a virus, infects the hosts with so much energy and information that they can't resist it and go berserk. That's why only it's used by people with controller devices, and it's just allowed 3 turns before your Pokémon goes crazy. Also they don't grow but the impact they leave on the ground is real. Because, since Pokémon are energy-based creatures they can change size at will. And the excessive energy from Eternatus also called Galar Particles overloads them, so their first biological response is to expand to handle said energy. That also explains the original Pokéballs working more like cages to miniaturized pocket-sized creatures. Before Silph Co. invented the total digitalization of their existence. They can be stored in servers because they're ENERGY.

    a 2 critiques of your system: remember pokemon is (as much as we all hate to say it) a KIDS game so some of these types are a bit crazy for a kid to see. Imagine your 6 and just brought your new pokemon game and your out there with your starter and catch a cute little weddle or something and look at its typing ..... to get hit with "arthro" like wth is that? This names are so weirdly specific like "arcana" (even tho there made to be like specific ) bug seems less specific and more like a type that "arthro" add wouldnt stick as well as the original names. some are redundant. Type are MEANT to encompass a lot of things(although some are going a bit too far) and adding a fish a water and a aquatic type??? come on man you know you went to far with that one its like the situation with ground and rock they shouldnt be 2 types but you went a step further and made it too split.

    Feels like this can be simlified. Ie, the "tactic" category shouldn't be weak to anything, but specific types can resist/be weak to them. And maybe the "kind of creature" category can have various benefits, instead of affect effectiveness.

    Yay I'm a dork so I've done this myself. My big concern with allowing for three types is you add a tremendous amount of complexity for zero additional depth. It doesn't change your decision making in how you play the game, it just adds an additional step in figuring out resistances and weaknesses. The same can be said about adding on that many additional types. Sure, in a vacuum it might allow for better balance and mean less changes to existing types, but we are adding a lot of extra complexity (especially in team building) for very little, if any, depth. In that case, I would prefer to alter the existing types instead of adding more on to address this. Depth requires a certain amount of complexity, but ideally you want as much depth as possible with as little complexity as is needed. Easy to pick up but difficult to master. A few other points to consider are the ones you brought up at the beginning: you said the number of types was a good amount since it gave lots of options while not adding so many it was hard to keep track of, that it is easy to remember in your head type matchups, and that these weaknesses and strengths make intuitive sense (ex. fire being good against grass). I can't be introduced to a type like "formless" and have a general idea of what it is strong and weak against as an example. Every change you suggest works against your stated goals. Even after seeing you explain it, I STILL don't understand how the hierarchy of types would work on a mechanical level in determining the final damage. You describe it as if they are weighted differently depending on order, but if this is the case I can't tell from the type tree. I'm also confused on what exactly the distinctions of "body," "element," and "style" mean on a mechanical level. Sure, looking at a Pokemon and guessing what types it is could become easier with this system, but if it does not effect the mechanics breaking them into separate categories only adds confusion. You also said at the beginning that going this route and adding things on would have the least amount of impact on the competitive scene, but removing immunities would be the largest fundamental change to the battle system and competitive pokemon that the game has ever seen. Even worse, it means making predictions about what an opponent will do (one of the few skills in the game) is much less important. Immunities allow you to switch in a pokemon for free and take no damage if you make a read... often being able to get a pokemon onto the field and live long enough can be the difference between a high tier and low tier. This is especially important considering how insane offense is (one shotting is not some uncommon thing), so you would require a top down rebalance on top of it. It would also make it much more difficult for competitive players to calculate the damage in their heads, which is very important in a tournament setting. I'm not trying to dump on your parade here, it's just that learning about how games are made you keep hearing the same thing over and over and over from developers: KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid). So what I would suggest is to first write down what your design goals are with changes, and once that is nailed down you have to do another thing they always say: kill your darlings. Anything that doesn't line up with the design goals or adds unnecessary complexity can and should be cut. That isn't to say a game can't be difficult or has to be overly complex to accomplish that; I think a focus on increasing strategy would be the best mindset to add additional depth while limiting complexity.

    Even if I grant that pokemon a far stronger than any sort of weapon, it still doesnt explain why criminals fight fair. In fact, these teams put themselves at an active disadvantage against the player. A lot of these teams are supposed to be super rich yet your telling me they can't even affort to fill out a single full team of pokemon? And most leaders of evil teams do own pokemon high enough level to at the very least fight through all the gyms, so why aren't they running around with quick balls and giving all their grunts lv 50 wild pokemon? I get that said wild pokemon won't listen to those grunts because they're inexperianced trainers, but they'll still use moves sometimes! And that would wreak jimmys lv 20 team of 6. Or alternatively, as master trainers (which most evil team leaders are) they should be able to fit their grunts out with TMs on every pokemon and held items with really toxic stratergies to defeat challengers like you, like rattata focus sash endeavour quick attack, or toxic stalling, or PP stalling. Just have one grunt who has 6 Incenroar. These grunts should be abusing the hell out of every obnoxious pokemon mechic. Perhaps an OHKO move specalist who stalls and heals between using OHKO moves on you. Half the grunts have Shedninja, but they'll swap out shedninja for a different pokemon if you can kill it well. Or they do some double battle stuff where they're able to give wonderguard to a mono fire type pokemon who knows burn up or something to make it unkillable.

    It was an okay joke at first, "why doesn't Team Rocket just pull out a gun", but it's sad that people act like it's an even remotely feasible argument. In real life, a dog can bite someone with a gun before they can shoot, now imagine if that dog could move at the speed of light, shoot lasers or had skin made of LITERAL steel. The worst is they're acting like your trainer goes into these caves and hostage sitations without your ace out protecting you. The original games couldn't render all 151 pokemon following you, so even as a kid I assumed you had at least one out all the time. People just lack imagination.

    Hey Libris have you heard of Cobblemon? It’s combines the open world gameplay of Minecraft with the catching and battling of Pokémon, I discovered it recently and it’s really cool! A more intentionally designed open world would be more to my tastes but there is something inherently exciting about exploring the world with your Pokémon friends! Keep up the awesome work!

    Everything in the game is worse quality than it should be. One thing that annoyed me was the villains being bullied kids. Whatever kind of anti bully narrative they were going for was lame.
