>only fairy actually hits double digits in gen 6
Neat! Thanks.
Ghost gets nowhere near enough love, and water far to much.

>Fire - 5
It's more rare than the fucking Dragon type, Jesus. I love me some DPPT and all, but god damn is the fire type selection utter shit if you don't pick Chimchar.

Water gets so many because of water routes and fishing. You have to have a few different surf encounters and a few things to fish for at a minimum.

Hey, there's Ponyta.
And in Platinum you can find magmar too
Just curious, why are all your counts one short? It's 100 in Gen II, 135 in Gen III, 107 in Gen IV, 156 in Gen V, and 72 in Gen VI
Other than that, very interesting list, I don't know why I need this but I'm sure I'll use it

Yeah but look at Flint in DP. Infernape, Drifblim, Lopunny, Steelix, and Rapidash. They really fucked up with Fire-types in Gen IV
They didn't even give him a Magmortar! He and Volkner are childhood rivals/friends! Electivire and Magmortar! Right there? Why?!?!

Because I was retarded and used 150 for Kanto in my quick math despite listing it as 151 in total which messed up all following counts. The type counts are accurate though.
>Gen I
>Poison - 33
Why is Kanto so toxic?
