For instance, why the fuck is psychic totally ineffective against dark? There is no logic for this shit that's just the way it is.

>>30847411
It's because Psychic was OP and GF needed a hard counter.

Same thing happened with the fairy type.

From some faggot on pokemon DB

From one angle, we can again refer to Japanese culture. To quote TvTropes.org: "Japan loves bugs, and they're everywhere. Not only is Bug Catching one of the oldest pastimes in the country, but much of their pop culture includes or is influenced by them." Beetles and bugs are regularly the costume theme designs of fictional heroes or mechs in Japanese series. In Gen II, they introduced Heracross a Bug/FIGHTING hercules beetle, a wildly popular beetle, alongside the Dark type to perfectly counter the new type. This is the "Hero" angle cropping up again.

The second angle to consider is on the other end of the spectrum of how Evil is vanquished. Bugs are known to swarm or cooperate in numbers that overwhelm the target (think endless mosquitos on a camping trip or a synchronized colony of ants). Similarly, if one wants to overthrow a great evil, an army or a cooperative society can collaborate to take it down with sheer numbers. Evil may strike one or a handful down, but the movement will overwhelm eventually.

Look at how fucked up Africa is because of malaria

>>30847411
Because logic of the mind often has no effect on the truly evil.

>>30846964
I thought it was due to Bug being one of the fear types, the other two being Dark and Ghost. Even the scary monsters are afraid of something.

No. It's not that the bugs are heroic, it's that people of bad character tend to do shit that make them liable to get swarmed by bugs.

No, sentai costumes happening to be bug-themed doesn't mean shit. That's like saying Fighting beats Dark because "ORAORAORA jojo reference xD". Bad behavior being punished by nature in the form of bugs is as eastern as it gets. Read about the Three Worms of Taoism, and you'll see that it's far more of an explanation than "pop culture references xD".

Bug, Dark and Ghost are SE against Psychic because they are all common fears. And the fear can control the mind. Have you tried to think rationally while in
panic?
Poison is weak to Psychic because the former represents something that can reach the body only, not the thoughts.

Obvious samefag is obvious.
Also, Japanese is literally full of daily expressions based around the idea of the internal worms. "Mushi no shirase" (the bug's warning) meaning bad premonition, "mushi ga sukanai" (the bugs don't like them) meaning that someone is dislikable, and so on. It's far more ingrained into their culture than a TV show, no matter how iconic it is.

Seriously, how retarded do you have to be to think a TV show reference is the reason for a type interaction? Kamen Rider designs are based on the idea of bugs punishing misdeeds if anything.

>No, sentai costumes happening to be bug-themed doesn't mean shit.
Firstly Kamen Rider was a thing before Super Sentai by about 4 years. If you're going to be this retarded at least call all of the sentai "rider costumes".

Secondly, Kamen Rider as a rule of thumb has their main riders themed after a bug + something else.
It's also a rule that their powers are derived from evil and used to fight it. From 1 being a product of Shocker augmentation to Ex-aid riders needing to have a controlled bugster infection to transform.

>>30849416
Lastly the idea of worms/mushi whatever you want to call them is entirely neutral, in fact more often than not they had detrimental effects rather than any kind of implied heroism or positivity.

Lastly I don't think you understand how much of a cultural icon Kamen Rider is. Not only did it coin the transformation sequence across not only japan but the world but it started the second toku boom that only Godzilla before it did.

God damn I have to play some Battride War and catch up with Ex-aid.

Exactly, and that's why the "bug is the hero type!1" meme some people are trying to push is retarded. Bugs aren't some kind of heroes, they're neutral forces of nature who will cause suffering to those who don't lead the proper lifestyles to ward them off. Hence, Dark-types being weak to them.

Kamen Rider played with the concept of bugs being natural justice and turned it into an idea for a superhero show, but it's ridiculous to draw conclusions like "In Japan, bugs are superheroes!" just because of that. Not everything is a Kamen Rider reference.

Reasonable isn't something that doesn't explain the relationship. Following that Dark would have to be neutral to bugs.

>>30850465
>Following that Dark would have to be neutral to bugs.
No, because Dark-types don't lead proper lifestyles. Bugs don't have an actual sense of justice, but bad lifestyle decisions will lead to them being all over you. It's similar to the reason they were super effective against poison in gen 1.

>>30850488
Wobbuffet seems considerably more unlikely given the fact that its a japanese comedian that no one in the west knew of.

But by the time the relationship between dark and was established the west had already been acclimated with Kamen Rider in the godawful Saban's Masked Rider

> evil is "bad
>it's so vague

>>30852024
So what exactly defines a "bad lifestyle"?
Is it being filthy?
Is it being associated with crime?
Is it not being generous?

That's problem one with your analogy, it only fits with one of the possible descriptions of a bad life style.

Two, the "bad lifestyle" itself is what represents the dark type. Not the person who has the bad lifestyle. In other words it would make normal weak to both bug and dark and bug neutral or NVF against Dark and vice versa.

>>30847411
Psychic is weak to common fears. Like bugs, dark and ghosts.

>>30852184
All of those can be related to Dark, sure.

>In other words it would make normal weak to both bug and dark and bug neutral or NVF against Dark and vice versa.
No. You're making no sense.

>"bad lifestyle"
>not vague

also you should post this instead

and you're putting words in the context, it's originally "bad deeds go punished" but now you spout garbage like "bad lifestyle"

>>30846964
Don't be stupid anon, bird =/= air

>>30852290
>All of those can be related to Dark, sure.
But what you're not getting is that only one fits.

>No. You're making no sense.
That's because you can't comprehend your own analogy.

>>30852363
>That's because you can't comprehend your own analogy.
Nice strawman. Too bad I can, and so can everyone else whose minds aren't clouded by "m-muh kamen rider references!".

>>30852436
>Too bad I can
And yet you don't understand that the Dark is represented by the bad lifestyle and not the person leading it.

>>30852436
>you can't understand the reference, only me!

>>30846964
>He thinks bugs are heroic


But seriously anon, the reason why dark is weak to bug was because in gen1 bug was unbalanced (in a bad way) so they gave it new super effectiveness to dark, kinda like what they did when they introduced the fairy type to buff steel and poison types while nerfing dragons

>>30852479
And surprise, surprise, the Pokemon embodying it are weak to bugs, hence it fits.
>>30852483
Sounds like the Kamen Riderfags alright.

>>30852541
>iconography is hard to understand, but not my vague mystic tao history so much so that I also change its meaning for my convenience!

>>30852541
>hence it fits.
Except that the bad lifestyle causes the bugs to propagate giving hell to the people leading it rather than slowly fixing it.

>>30852541
Okay dude this is getting stupid
Lifestyle = Dark type
Insects = Bug type

The person with the bad lifestyle is going to attract insects, yes?
So then it would stand to reason that the insects and bad lifestyle go hand in hand.

What you're suggesting is that the person is the dark type and the bad lifestyle is something else.

>>30852436
>Nice strawman.
That's not what strawman means.

>>30852573
>vague mystic tao history
Except expressions related to it are common as fuck in Japanese. It also is related to basic biological facts that apply all over the world, as opposed to a single franchise that's mainly known within Japan.
>>30852582
>the bad lifestyle causes the bugs to propagate giving hell to the people leading it
Yeah, that's kind of why they're weak to it. What are you even going on about?

>>30852657
>So then it would stand to reason that the insects and bad lifestyle go hand in hand.
The bad lifestyle benefits the insects, yes. At the detriment of the one leading it, hence why they're weak to it.
>What you're suggesting is that the person is the dark type and the bad lifestyle is something else.
No, dark types are persons leading bad lifestyles, not just the persons or a bodiless concept of a bad lifestyle. You know, things like thugs, villains, delinquents, demons, those things.

>>30852761
>Yeah, that's kind of why they're weak to it.
That makes no sense at all.
The bad lifestyle doesn't just end when the insects appear it's not a detrimental effect to it. In fact it bolsters the bad lifestyle.

Are you starting to get why your analogy doesn't make sense?

It would have to be a bird-type

>>30852847
It's a detrimental effect to the one leading it, i.e. the dark-type Pokemon. And since they're like that by nature, they're susceptible to bugs by nature. You're the one not making any sense with the bizarre ways you interpret simple things like this.

>>30852937
>i.e. the dark-type Pokemon.
But what you're not getting is that the dark is the lifestyle not the person.
And even with your odd interpretation of it it still doesn't make sense because it's a part of the bad lifestyle the person is leading.

They literally go hand in hand.

>>30852987
>the dark is the lifestyle
So you're saying Dark-type Pokemon are just some vague concepts without any actual body for the bugs to hurt? No? Then your point is moot, because the body of the Dark-type is affected by the bugs attracted to it because of its lifestyle. You wouldn't exactly say that someone who has parasites on them is bolstered by it.

>>30847411

Psychic weaknesses are based on common phobias.

>>30853067
>You wouldn't exactly say that someone who has parasites on them is bolstered by it.
You do realise the bad lifestyle is the thing that's being bolstered by the insects, right anon?

What are you having difficulties understanding specifically?

>>30849357

Tvtropes is fucking amazing.

>>30853123
Nothing, but you clearly are, it seems.

Fuck's sake.

Look at names of dark type moves, both translated to English and original.

All cheap tricks and dirty techniques giving edge over the opponents.

This loses with a good ol' punch in the face.

This kinda shuts off any psychic that needs absolute focus to perform.

And have you ever tried to trick or deceive a beetle?

A stretch, I know, but not half as much as most of the retards in this thread.

>>30846964
The best explanation to this I've heard is that Dark type generally plays on the theme of evil thoughts and trickery, and since bugs don't exactly have a brain all they follow is the hivemind, unaffected by outside influence

this is the worst bait in the history of everything. He literally used "bad lifestyle getting fucked up by bugs" as a foundation. Please stop falling for it, he's autistic.
