Do brand new pokemon types in fan games actually work?

Been trying a few fan games lately and two of them add whole new types like sound or light. Part of me likes the variety but it also messes with the type chart I know by heart. Do you think made-up types make a fan game better or just more confusing?

They work fine, the type chart is just data in Essentials, you add a row and the game does the rest. Fairy in gen 3 hacks has been done loads and feels completely native. The hard part isn't making it work, it's the hundred small decisions after. Which existing moves get retyped, which pokemon get it, how it interacts with abilities like Levitate. Most fan types feel off because the dev stopped at the chart and didn't do the rest.
