i'm super mega excited for this. i think the most logical for a special energy would be for it to supply fire, lightening, and water all at once because having it supply two dragon energies at once could end up being a little broken. (not that i would complain about that) So in any case i cannot wait to see what the cards in that set will look like.

I counted how many Dragon, Darkness, and Steel types that are out right now and I came up with a total of 29 Dragon, 36 Dark, and 35 Steel (That's including Genesect). 29 for one type isn't that bad, when Dark and Steel were first introduced we only had Murkrow, Sneasel, Steelix, and Scizor, which explains why they made only special dark and steel energies. It wasn't until they made a bunch of new steel and dark pokemon and changed some of the older pokemon to those types that we got basic dark and steel. It's also possible that they are thinking of creating a lot of dragon types for Gen 6 but that won't be for a while.

How many pseudo-dragons like Charizard are there in this universe?

Also, compare the number of Dragons to the number of Fire and Electric types as well. I think that Fire and Electric are the next least represented TCG energy type after Dark and Steel, but I could be wrong...
 
I fell like the Dragon type will be a "special type" in the TCG considering the small amount of actual dragons. Maybe limiting how many of the type can be in a deck and/or having the whole type do something special. Because Dragons are weak to themselfs, it would be an interesting addition. Before you mention psychic being weak to psychic, remember that Ghost is also thrown into the "Psychic type" which are weak to dark.
 
Here's what were missing

Colorless= Flying
Fire= N/A
Water= Ice
Grass= Bug, Poison
Electric= N/A
Psychic= Ghost
Fighting= Rock, Ground
Dark= N/A
Steel= N/A
Dragon= Now that it has it's own type finally

Basically, were missing 7 alternative types, and the creators could somehow make the games more balanced by not dealing with the 2x weakness and resistance factor. I mean Typhlosion could easily OHKO Beartic with the x2 weakness factor, where as Beartic shouldn't be dealing 100 damage, since Ice is ineffective against Fire Pokemon.

You know what doesn't make any sense is Kingdra having a x2 weakness to electric when electric attacks deal neutral damage to Kingdra (Water/Dragon) in the video game. I could understand if Kingdra had water as it's only solo type, but the fact that it has Dragon as it's dual type means that electric attacks are ineffective. Meaning electric attacks deal neutral damage to Kingdra and therefore Kingdra's weakness should've been Dragon in the first place. Since Dragon attacks are effective against Dragon type Pokemon
 
Elektross being weak to Fighting. Eternal Moldbreaker/Gravity is lame D: Ground types that arent resistant to Eletric are weird (and plentyful).

But i have to agree, Gold would be a great color for dragons. Especially holographic dragons :D
 
I wonder if they'll be reprinting special :dark:&:metal: in future sets. Better hope we get a CL-ON rotation instead of a BW-ON that Japan will get. I'm not taking this news too seriously because remember what happened when an unofficial source told us we were getting "new primes" in CoL?

I would of split psychic and poison because i dont see how poison is related to psychic except for the PURPLENESS

Yeah, I think the same thing. I think that Poison is more often then not from a natural source, and what type is representative of natural things? Grass.
 
I am glad this idea wasn't around for SP's. (ahemLuxChompahem) But You know, I actually hope dragon energy is the only basic energy you can only have 4 of.
I mean, treating it as a searchable special type energy would be so fun, and yet so challenging. (The games say it's the most difficult type to master.)
 
My guess is that they will be spreading the release of Dragon-types over the course of several sets, with the debut release having 5 or so Dragon Pokemon. But, I also think that we wont be getting them very soon at all, since thats how releases for the U.S. usually go. Just my opinion though.
 
I really hate having to keep info like this to myself until some other site reveals it....

Anyway, yes, Dragon type is real. It is not a joke or a mistranslation.
What will the type symbol look like?
Will it just be Special Energy?

Have to wait for someone else to reveal that. *sigh*
