Description
The official 18 type symbols are from Z-crystals and were originally vectorized byΒ twitter.com/aozoradoesart based on Takara Tomy merchandize.Related content

I donβt see why thereβd be a need to introduce wind types, seeing as that pretty much relates to the Flying Type, and since PokΓ©mon with air based aspects are usually guaranteed to be Pure Flying.

What's the difference between cosmic, psychic, and fairy?

finally I found someone that uses plastic-type too! ^^

Cosmic and Plastic are great, wow!
I don't see these symbols however as the de facto representation of each type. I think that it is more the Alolan stylized representation of those, like some kind of hieroglyph. The ones from Diantha's chamber look simple enough to be a more universal representation, like the TCG does (although the TCG should try to make their symbols more universal, since they group Psychic and freaking Poison together).

LOL yeah, the TCG hasn't even tried solving this issue.
Like, if they're already combining multiple types where possible, I'd think they would at least do the obvious and combine Poison and Bug into some kind of hazard type, rather than not knowing whether to put it with Grass or Psychic, when neither of those have any connection with Poison at all.
And yeah, I wondered if I should just replace the official 18 with my own symbols one after another eventually.

About the TCG, I reckon the way they are segmented are more based in how many PokΓ©mon of each type exist. For instance, since there are fewer Fire and Electric mons, and each set needs at least a few, we got tons of RapidashΒ and Electrode cards in consecutive sets, while some Water types like Seel have less than 10 in over 80 sets!
So they realized that Poison had way to many mons and removed it from Grass/Bug and put them with Psychic/Ghost, which have considerably fewer members. Also the color association helps.
However, if that was their logic, why aren't Ghost and Dark grouped together since their theming is "close enough" in TCG standards and would better distribute types? Psychic+Poison+Ghost has a crazy list of representatives while Dark is one with the fewest. Your idea of a hazard type would also work.
The weirdest case for me is Fighting, that also has Rock and Ground. Wow, just wow.

Yeah, and they've went out of their way to introduce new types that have every time been a single poorly represented type... Dark, Steel, Dragon, Fairy.
I've been thinking about how it could be interesting if a sort of symbiotic pairing of types would manifest in the main games by these type pairs sharing STAB (Rock getting STAB on Ground moves because they're an Earth subtype)

Love these.^^ Hmm... you know, there's three types I've seen others use that aren't in this list. Wonder if they'd be up to your standards to add to this list.^_^

What would those be? o:
I'm not a fan of Light, Holy, Cyber, Virus, Crystal, Magic, Nuclear. I'd be curious about any others tho

Light was one, the other two were Magic and Chaos. Chaos being very much like darker magic variant. So, I'm guessing no on that.

Yeh, I feel like both general sides of magic are well split between Psychic and Fairy... as for Chaos, not sure what to think of it, even just as a concept.. like would it be about making a mess out of everything?
π: 0 β©: 1
Not sure. Been a long time since I saw those ones with Chaos type, despite how well designed they were.
