What new type could be added? Everything is fairly balanced at the moment. Ice type really only needs one more resistance (two if its really lucky) and Posion needs to be super effective on more types. Every other type is well balanced.

Adding a third type to pokemon would be rediculously hard, and wouldn't benefit many pokemon. Most dragons already have wings, so just switching Charizard and Gyarados to dragon typing and remove their flying types would be fine (keep their flying movepool though).

The only cool thing they could add (that I can think of) is 4 line evolutions (or 5). But that would really just leave you with 3 weak pokemon and a strong pokemon. It could be good for the early bug pokemon though, as you could actually use them all throughout the game.

As Flipz said, GameFreak should focus on storyline, pokemon characters and the region. No more linear regions. Something like Kanto, but with more cities and some cities without gyms (example: 20-24 cities- 12 gym cities, 8-12 other cities, 4 elite four member and a champion. That adds up to 17 'bosses' that could all be type specific).

I doubt any of this will happen though. The most likely is 4 stage evolutions.
