I guess Yahiko Pain's power is supposed to be an elemental jutsu, the force of attraction and the opposite can be regarded as a kind of a super-elemental jutsu, also the rain jutsu is a super-water jutsu. Maybe the current 6 bodies are not fit for genjutsu, that would also mean if he gets another 6 bodies he would maybe use genjutsu too. But i guess the most likely explanation is that Kishimoto didn't want to overpower Pain so much since the final villain is supposed to be Madara  |
Actually i would say that human realm's powers look like they are genjutsu... probing the enemies mind and what not
As for the elements... well, Nagato has yet to make an appearance and as such kishi does need to save something for him to do...
