to be fair there was only one ghost evolutionary line and there was already a poison gym.
>dragon elite 4 champion
>2 dratini with dragon rage
>1 Dragonite with no dragon attacks

>Multiple Dragonites
>Aerodactyl
He was fucking flying type, not dragon.

Of course, this was Gen 1 where Psychic was super-effective against Ghosts.
>genwunner's will defend this
>>30527706
No it wasn't, it was just the fact that every Gen 1 Ghost was part Poison
>>30525398
>all her ghosts are also part-poison
I love his treeman kek
>two fire types, one of which is the starter
>>30527706
SE against Gengar line =/= SE against Ghost types
>>30529056
Not so. In gen 1, Gengar was 4x weak to Psychic and Psychics were IMMUNE to the two ghost attacks that existed: Lick and Night Shade.
>>30525398
Agatha really was a poison-type specialist with a spooky leaning.
>>30526050
I think Lance just liked dragon-like pokemon.
>Bruno used mountain pokemon.
>Lorelei used arctic pokemon.
The original Elite Four were more "theme" specialists than type specialists.
>>30526050
>Only damaging attack on his dragonite was hyperbeam
>mfw gengar
He literally couldn't do anything and I was happy about that because my gyarados died to aerodactyl because crit (nuzlocke)
>>30527757
What's there to defend? It's perfect just the way it is.
The idea that a type specialist can only use one type is retarded.
>>30530322
no, dumbass. psychic has never been super effective against ghost type.
>>30530367
This.
I actually like this method alot better than specific types.
>>30530717
Certainly would make the gyms and elite four more interesting in the games. Like maybe start out with the four basic types (normal, fire, water, grass) for the first half of the game and then have theme specialists instead.
>>30530367
Bruno's team always pissed me off because there were two, perfectly viable Fighting type Pokemon he could have used to fill out a full team of Fighting Pokemon, but he just used TWO (2) Onix like a dumbass. Literally every E4 member at the time had an excuse. He even kept that shit up 3 years later, what a fucking asshole
>>30530322
Right about psychic being immune to ghost. Wrong about ghost being weak to psychic
>>30530367
>The original Elite Four were more "theme" specialists than type specialists.
I wish they kept that. I actually also liked DP's gym leader and elite 4 pokemon choices. I wish there was some variation rather than characters being tied to a type restriction.
>>30525398
>5 fully evolved fighting pokemon in Kanto
>Bruno only uses 3 of those and wastes the last two slots on Onix
Lorelei: Ice/Water
Bruno: Fight/Rock
Agatha: Ghost/Poison
Lance: Dragon/Flying
