OP may as well contribute
Fire used to be my favorite type and it's still one of my favorites offensively. I await the inevitably gimmicky as shit fire/grass type.

Ice has some cool designs but as we all know they're unusable most of the time due to its defensive matchups. Oddly enough the distribution of Ice beam actually makes me feel more scared against fast water types than when they send out an ice type.

Bugs are rad as shit and a lot of them rank high for me but for whatever reason I still wouldn't say it's a top 5 type of mine. They're not terribly annoying to fight unless they have a steel coat, if you catch my drift.

Flying types often have really boring designs because most of them are just birds. Why did it take five generations to get a pure flying type? We're pretty much fine as far as birds go.

I have no strong opinions on Poison types. Fuck Zubat with a firestick though.

>>31445738
>Steel

Fire: Makes sense, I used to be a firefag, so we're cool.

Fighting: I love the type, but hate the interaction. I actually hate a lot of Fighting's interactions, but whatever. Punching rocks is one thing, breaking bricks and whatnot, okay, I get it. But punching a slab of solid steel? Metal isn't as susceptible to sudden impacts of great force. Metal bends, it doesn't really break.
Our relationship is fine, but could be better.

Ground: I get it, and like a lot of groundmons. We're A-OK.

Water
Grass: very interesting, a little bit frail but it can be useful in certain situations. Wide movepool.
Electric: great mons but too predictable, they're generally fast special attacker with tbolt/voltswitch, and the rarely have a second STAB.

File: icewallpaper.jpg (998KB, 1500x900px) Image search: [Google]

998KB, 1500x900px

Fighting: Don't have anything especially against the type, but also not a big fan of many fighting types

Rock: I actually love a lot of rock types, we cool

Steel: A lot of hit-or-miss, but steel as a type is prettyneat/10. One of those types I love in concept like poison and bug because it's not really an element at all, just an abstract concept

Fire: I usually pick the fire starter, I'm all cool with fire types

>Flying
Electric is my second favorite type, full of 9/10 designs that do pretty well in battle too.
Ice is a good type aesthetically and I wish they were allowed to keep their best moves to themselves, at least from water types.
Rock can go fuck itself.

Fire: volcarona and Darmanitan are the only good fire types. everything else is edgy 12-year-old bait

Grass boy here
Fire: Fire is a cool type and my starter for kanto and johto is still always charmander and cyndaquil. It's weaknesses suck a little but the type is still very solid.

Bug: Bugs are cool, Volcarona is one of my faves(more fire rep). Don't use them all too much though sadly.

Flying: Ehh, what can I say. Flying feels like a generic secondary type.

Ice: Pretty n-ice. A few ice types I like and all their legendaries are pretty...cool. Needs buffs.

Poison: Not a big user but I really like it. Crobat is one of my bros and many other poison types are rad. Seems like a solid type even with it's middling type advantages.

Steel: Has some cool designs and pokemon with that type tend to be good competitively. I like it

Poison: Has really neat and interesting concepts, and also some designs I really like too.

>Bug
Fire: I don't really care much about it. Has maybe 2 or 3 pokemon I like.

Flying: Don't really have an opinion on this type beyond "eh" and "it's okay". I like Celesteela and the oricorios though. The other flying mons I like are dual-typed with bug and fairy.

Rock: 1. Stealth rock is kind of annoying. 2. Needs more moves with better accuracy. 3. There are a lot of designs I don't really care for but I do like some of them and 4. Dwebble is very cute.

>>31445909
>Fire: [...]everything else is edgy 12-year-old bait
Ponyta line, Ninetales line, Flareon, Slugma line, etc.
>Fighting: most pointless type desu
Fairy is objectively the least necessary type because we went 5 generations of games without it. It also fits the exact description you gave fighting.

Fair point about Earth Power distribution though

Favorite type: Grass

Fire: It's a good type, but too many designs are orange animal with flames. It deserves more things like Chandelure.

Flying: A secondary type for birds. Lacks a strong identity.

Poison: It's my favorite type concept, but for some reason I barely have poison types among my favorite pokemon.

Ice: Needs more offensive pokemon in order to be relevant.

Bug: The type with the best percentage of good designs.

This sums up my feelings perfectly. Just add a "FUCK YOU PEBBLES" and we're done. It's unfair as fuck that there's a entry hazard that only Fire, Flying, Ice and Bug have to suffer from.

Favorite Type: Grass

Fire: Great offensive type that's held back by the prevalance of rock and water type pokemon and attacks, needs more designs like the Delphox and Ninetales line and less I PISS BLOOD AND SHIT FIRE tier designs

Flying: Decent offensive type that usually takes me surprise if on anything other than a technician user, Skarmory, or megamence. Doesn't really hold out on its own designwise as a type, most notable pokemon with the type I find myself associating more with steel or dragon.

Poison: Has one of the best status ailments and has gotten more love as of gen six onward much like steel offensively due to the introduction of boypussy slayer (read fairy) type. Fairly good overall designwise, sallazle and drapion stand out the most for me as poison types.

Ice: Amazing offensively for the spread of types that it hits hard but the type itself on a pokemon needs a lot more love, resistance to grass and water would help it a lot even with the amount of weaknesses it has. One of the most diverse types designwise, and pokes like Glaceon, Froslass, and A. Ninetales have given me a soft spot for ice types.

Bug: Stupidly good offense and design wise to the point where I'm honestly not sure what to say about it other than "motherfucking scizor"

Psychic.

Dark is fucking cancer since gen 4.
Ghost got cancerous after gen 6.
Bug is fine.

I want to go back to gen 3. The split completely ruined psychic-types and it got even worse once fairy-types were introduced, now psychic isn't good to even counter fighting-types as fairy does it better.

I stopped playing competitive because of this, it's not fun anymore. But I kind of saw it coming since GF doesn't knows when to stop with the nerfs.

Fave type: Ghost

Ghost: see above

Dark: Dark-types are pretty cool, albeit some are a bit edgy but a lot of them are pretty lovable so it's okay in my book.

Grass: Cool support Pokémon that unfortunately fall flat most of the time.

Electric: Frail and shallow, but they hit lightning fast and that's cool.

Just being SE on something doesn't mean much. It's only SE on 3 types, 2 which are really uncommon types, and is resisted by 7 types. Bug is really shit offensively.

Fire: >>31445909 sums up my thoughts pretty well. Aside from special cases like Volcarona, they pretty much amount to "X animal, but ON FIRE!!!1!!"
Fighting: Meh. I like the type in concept, but hate most of the designs that have it.
Ground: Literally every fucking pokemon has EQ, it's absurd. It's to the point where having EQ can make or break a pokemon's viability. Other than that, Ground is higher up on my favorite types.

Grass: its am odd thing to make rock weak too but at the same time nerfing grass even more isn't something i want

Steel: All well and good steel is harder than rock and steel needs all the offense it can get

Fighting: I dont like it lost most of my rock team to a fast high jump kicker many a time but it makes since what with breaking bricks

Ground: If one weakness had to go id prefer this one (although id prefer more resistances mainly to bug rock or electric)

>>31446278
Designs are last thing that should make you like a Type. Type are first and foremost a gameplay mechanic. If you like the design, you like the design, not the type. Or at least that's how I see it.

>fairy
>steel
It has a lot of cool designs and I don't particularly dislike it

>poison
I thought it was one of the most under-represented types in pokemon, next to bug. I'm glad sun and moon added a bunch of poison types and a few that are competitively viable as well. The type my team never seems to have a proper counter for.

>grass
>bug
Would be one of my favorites but in previous games I never played with any bug types. I thought they were pretty weak compared to other types I could catch

>fire
Probably my least favorite type. It is rare for me to find a fire type design that I like and while I think that some fire type moves look cool, unless I need to use one for a competitive team, I usually steer clear.

>flying
Some birbs are cute but I've never found them particularly strong or interesting. Staraptor and Minior are the flying types ones I've ever liked
>ice
Usually appear to late in the game for me to establish much of a bond with Ice types. Still I have my fair share of favored pokemon from this type

>>31446414
But a lot of types have common elements in their design that are shared between pokemon which are usually exclusive to that typing.

>dragon
>fairy is gay and should never have been made, it was only there to counter the dragons casualfags complained about
>dragon is best
>ice is whatever, no STAB

>>31446496
Understandable, but again, that just seems liking the design to me. I love Serperior's design, and picked it in my first BW run. Soon, though, because the best it could offer was Grass-type moves, it became a burden on my team. I'm not the type to box starters on first run, so I didn't, but I stopped using it completely unless encountered a Water-type. The same thing repeated in BW2, when I used Lilligant.
How I see it, that happened because I did not find Grass-type useful. Looking back now, I could've taught Serperior Arial Ace and Dragon Tail, but that wouldn't really be making me like the Grass-type. I still like Serperior, but if I could change its type, I wouldn't hesitate for a single second. Design does not justify a Type, a gameplay mechanic.

>Poison
Looks like I'm totally alone here

Psychic: Like the type and a lot of mons, but I feel like it's been flooded with a lot of underwhelming and uninteresting pokemon which take away from the type as a whole.

Ground: I like some ground types and there aren't any that I dislike. I feel like earthquake is way too common for a 100bp move with no drawbacks and great coverage.

I love both Nidos and I want to see psychic/poison badly, though not as badly as electric/poison.

>>31445738
>Charizard Y used Heat Wave!

>>31446738
Also, I totally understand why ground resists poison and can sort of get how it would be SE, but I have no clue why psychic is.

>>31446760
Psychic is essentially mental type most of the time
It's weak to common fears
It's strong against things that can be beaten with science/research/logic

>>31446804
That's the best explanation I've heard. Thanks anon, that makes sense.

>Electric
Ground is kinda cool but I think rock and ground should be one type.

>Favourite types: Poison & Bug

Psychic: Great type, lots of cool designs, and I like the mysticism of its trainers.

Ground: One of my least favourite types. They always look so big and bulky.

Fire: In my top 5 types, most of the designs are awesome, they tend to be offensive, and Flannery is my favourite gym leader.

Rock: See ground.

Flying: I want to like flying, but it often comes across as kind of bland. Skyla is awesome at least.

>dark since gen 2
I also really like both fighting and bug types, don't care about fairies.
Not sure why dark is weak to bug though, probably just as a way to buff bugs a bit.

>>31446804
How come steel resists it?

>>31446972
Did gen two (2) even have other dark types than umbreon and sneasel ?

>>31447002
Most of the time
Steel's reason for resisting psychic assuming it's not because Psychic was OP in gen 1 is that telekinesis probably couldn't bend, dent, or break metal very easily.

>>31447012
Houndoom line, Murkrow and Tyranitar

>>31447015
I always thought it would have made more sense for steel to lose resistance to psychic and keep it to dark, since some of the attacks would seem to bypass steel's tough body and go for the mind.

>>31447029
Agreed
~90% of dark moves are physical so I don't see why Steel doesn't resist shit like sucker punch anymore
Also Psychic could use a buff like that at this point

>>31445738
>Grass

>Fire: Great designs all around, but the lack of more reliable burning moves is kinda bad. Other than that, no problem at all.
>Ice: I don't have any strong opinions about Ice, but I get the impression that this type is somewhat shitty and gets no love from GF (not that Grass gets a lot). As far as designs go, they're very mixed for such a small number of Pokémon, having great, fun, not very creative, hideus, whimsical, all kinds of design.
>Flying: I think everyone has at least one Flying type that is a bro. I hate the pure Flying genius, but otherwise they're all cool. Birbs are nice.
>Poison: I use Toxic all the time when playing competitively, but I'm not a fan of the designs. Grimer is my favorite. Sometimes I forget Grass is weak to Poison.
>Bug: I generally like the bugs, Golisopod became an unexpected bro, Heracross is one of my top 3 pokemon. I like that it's SE on Dark-type. The designs vary a lot, too, even tho they usually end up on beetles or butterflies.

>>31446972
bugs live in dark places

But...that's exactly what the move Kinesis does: bending spoons. The reason is probably the other one.

Is there a good reason why Ice shouldn't be Super-effective against Water?

>Fairy
Steel is nice, and Mawile is one of my favorites.
Poison has really grown on me, though I used to dislike most of the poison Pokémon.

Fighting is a great type with plenty of cool Pokémon. Scrafty and Hawlucha, for example.
Bug has become a pretty great typing with plenty of neat options.

Ground: A type I thought was trash back in Gen 1, but have grown to respect over the years especially with Pokemon such as Hippowdon, Gliscor and Landorus. Still hoping for a good Fighting/Ground type one day to just wreck shit.

Psychic: One of my most hated types along with Water and Dragon. A pretty trash typing nowadays anyway, but every Gen seems to want to introduce another Psychic legendary or two just to piss me off. Despite all of this, I do have a couple of faves here including Hypno, Grumpig, and Slowbro.

>Fire
Probably my least favorite type after Dragon, attracts the worst fans and has pretty lame designs outside of 10/10s like Volcarona. Fuck Charizard.

>Ice
Bottom tier butt buddies with Grass, I don't feel too strongly about it as a type though. I like the ice cream cones unironically.

>Bug
Neat type, good Pokemon, they don't particularly appeal to me though, but I can see why they have such a fanbase. Shoutouts to Leavanny.

>Flying
It's my mom's favorite type but I'm pretty indifferent to it, I do like the high level of varying designs though.

>Poison
I like poison since a lot of Grass types are also part poison. My favorite Poison type is Mareanie though. It has a wide variety of designs, like flying, but not as restricted. I don't see that many fans of Poison type Pokemon compared to others now that I think about it.

>Dark

Fairy: Is to dragon type as dark is to psychic. But that type wasn't that powerful to begin with.

>Fighting: As far as I can tell, this particular type seems to be the only proper physical attacking type.

>>31445738

Fighting: I like it, it's an all around good typing imo.

Bug: sadly, this one on its own is very bad, it only works when paired with a good typing (see: Scizor, M-Pinsir, Volcarona, Scolipede). I wish it would get a buff. I don't quite understand why it's SE against dark tho.

Fairy: I absolutely hate this typing, it needs to get nerfed, I understand that it was introduced to nerf outrage spam but this typing is ridiculously strong, both offensively and defensively. Also why, WHY does it resist Bug? This makes no fucking sense, if anything it should be WEAK to it and maybe deal NVE damage against it. Speaking of its weaknesses, let's be honest, Steel and Poison aren't really the best offensive types.

Grass types are pretty much just carbon cut outs of each other, they all do the same exact thing and not ONE of them is good at it. The few unique grass types either get outshined by other 'mons in a similar niche, or have no movepool outside of normal and STAB. While I love bugs, Bug/Grass automatically takes all of the grass problems which destroys the pokemon.

>>31447784
>>Fighting: Have you tried punching a rock? I don't get this one

Martial artists break bricks or slabs that are made of stone, while average people (Normal type) can't do much, reason why Rock resists Normal.

>>31448129
So...your favorite type is Ground?

>>31445738
Tie between Steel, Bug, and Ice.
Fire: Nothing big to complain about
Fighting: It's admirable that they sometimes try to put in different fighting styles
Ground: A good type, not too OP nor too weak
Rock: Pretty decent typing, can't really complain about it too much since one of my bros is in it, as well as the fossils
Flying: I do like how they try to use different birds

>>31446414
What about casual players?
What about people who dislike the competitive play?
What about people who only run monotype?

If we're going by what's competitively good, then the only acceptable answers are fire, water, steel, fairy, ground, and flying. The rest have significant flaws or non-useful niches that makes them need a secondary type to stay relevant.

Fire - Still one of my favorite types, my starters tend to be Fire most of the time (the irony), also nice to melt steel beams

Ice - Poor Ice, GF hates them, the one great thing about them was how they could deal SE damage against dragons, but fairies are a better option now

Bug - fucking cool designs, can't hate em.

Flying - >SE because grass get uprooted meme, or birds eat fruits. Yeah sure, tornadoes can destroy buildings too, and not only birds eat fruits

Poison - Toxic should be fucking limited to Poison types only. Other than that, they're fine - defensively pretty great to use

Poison: I love poison type, so I'm glad they at least were buffed a little with fairies now around. It used to be one of my favorite types too

>Dark
Bug: It's a bit sad how this the only noteworthy type Bug hits for super effective. I like some of them, like Scolipede and Volcarona, but I usually like them more for their secondary typing

Fairy: I love them. They fit thematically perfect with the rest of the types, especially since they're supposed to represent "the good" defeating the "evil" that is Dark types

Bug bois

Fire: Used to love this danm type, but really don't have to worry about this one that much

Flying: Pretty cool type, always make sure to have one on my team

Rock: Legit never used one until gen 7, they all look like such....trash

Bug

>fire
volcarona is my favorite mon but i'm not a fan of most fire types, too edgy or too animal-on-fire. weakness makes sense, good offensively, i really dislike it defensively, checking steel and fairy is a lot better now but still, coverage usually destroys them.

>rock
fuck sneaky pebbles, some have very good designs but holy shit why is ROCK such an awful defensive typing? weakness also makes sense, good offensively, but lol why all the low acc rock moves?

>flying
normal/flying is cancer and most designs are very expected, being literal birds with a bits of extra cartoony-ness. weakness again, makes perfect sense, surprisingly good offensively, if only for the neutral coverage, very strong niche defenses and weaknesses. overall lack of good stab abusers and fuck steel/flying.

That's probably because they get access to moves from so many other types.

>Ground Types
Good designs, Great offence, Weak to 2 common types. EQ is everywhere, My favorite is Diggersby and my least favorite is Stunfisk

>Psychic
Used to be a good type, now easily one of the worst, Weak to common moves like Sucker Punch, Knock Off, Uturn, Shadow Sneak etc. Most designs are pretty cool, but some are a bit strange like Mr. Mime

>>31446150
Thank god you psychic fags got nerfed. Because of you, Poison types were seen as a shitty defensive type, Even though we had a ton of resistances, everyone was packing Ground and Psychic. Now with very few good psychic attackers an Tapu Lele still being weak to Poison, My fave type is in much better shape

>>31445738
>dark
i hate fighting types. the only reason as to why fighting even beats dark is because of the rebalancing for psychic types in gen 2. it doesnt make sense and it never was intended to. by the logic of a weak-to-psychic mon being effective against a strong-to-psychic mon, poison should be super effective against dark too.

bug types are kinda lame. bugs are boring, except araquanid and scizor i guess

dont even get me started on fairy types. everything about them including their very existence is a fucking mistake.

Dragon

Ice: Needs more love. It's the forgotten cousin of the water type

Fairy: Doesn't feel very balanced yet. More Pokemon need the type to support them.

Dragon: Pseudo pokemon don't have to be dragons all the fucking time. Needs quality over quantity in future. Gen VII somewhat improved that.

Dark

>Fighting: Was the shit in gen 1 & 2, got a bit better in 3. The moves are nice and i get behind most of the species, but it seems pretty boring overall

>inb4 mega-beedrill

>fairy: now listen here, you little shit. this abomination isn't even a valid type. "ghethis hydreigon is too stronk"-noobs were whining about how they suck and how it's the games fault for being "op" and shit. Boom, gen6 introduced these gay little fuckers. and they got instant a legendary. this type doesn't make any sense, I mean, why the fuck is marill a fairy? Fucker doesn't even have wings or magic or shit! Only acceptible pokemon are Mimikyu and maybe, just maybe, klefki. Fairy... little shitbags. Would be perfect for unicorns. But noooo, mudsdale had to be fuckerhorse of the year.
>Other than that, I somehow like the pinkish sparklish Z-Move-thingy

>>31451514
Didn't say that, actually. Just that I find it surprising people like a type that's not really good at anything. I didn't think people mixed in aesthetics with gameplay mechanics.

>>31451744
samefag. I remembered something.

>Plus a good counter for "dark" would be plain and simple "light". The epic fight of good and evil, light and dark, order and chaos. Would've given some pretty decent designs and movesets, I'm sure about that. But instead we got these gay little critters

>Ice- I'm a southerner who can work in 100+ degree heat, or 40 degrees for you non yanks, better than most but I fall to pieces under 50 degrees, again 10 degrees to any non USA folks. So I dislike Ice or anything cold.

>Grass

Fire: Kinda wish there were more of them
Flying: They're ok
Poison: I like them a lot too actually
Bug: Hit or miss, personally
Ice: They are tragically terrible
Water types with Ice coverage: why

>>31451442
Well, it makes sense and is intended to, if you see it from japanese point of view. The Fighting-Type is seen as "the good", "the hero", "the strong", "honor" and all this shit. Dark, associated with "evil", "unfair, dirty fights" (Karen even mentions this part, I think).
Now Good triumphing over Evil is THE cliché of almost any story ever written, and so, Pokemon. Or to say it short: "See something scary? Punch it in the face!"

tl;dr: Dark is weak against fighting, because the good, righteous fighter triumphs over the unfair, sneaky piece of shit

>>31451853
>I fall to pieces under 50 degrees
I genuinely can't understand this. I try not to go outside unless it's under 50 F.

>>31445738
>Fairy
>Steel: They're OK, I like a few of them but they're sort of rare so there's not much to pick from.
>Poison: I don't really like the designs of poison types. The only one I've absolutely loved is Nihilego, and I suppose maybe Vileplume if we're going back to gen 1. Vileplume for some reason got sort of dumb looking in 3D idk.

>Ghost

Dark type isn't so bad, since most Ghost types can learn counters against them and they make a good companion type in some cases

Ghost must defeat Ghost. Seems fair but I'd prefer if Normal types were incapable of learning Ghost moves, forcing a switch, diverse movepool or using a turn from Odor Sleuth or Foresight to hit them. Scrappy users are fine too.

>Dark
>Bug: This thing needs to be super effective against more shit anyway so I don't mind, also helps that most of the Dark types I like the most are neutral/could give less of a shit against most bug moves.
>Fighting: Pretty justified teehee funny pun, don't use many fighting types myself but I think they have some pretty cool moves.

Fairy
Makes sense, as fairy is the "good" type and good always triumphs over evil.
Fighting
Same boat as fairy, really. Best comparison tat could be made here is machamp and incineroar, machamp being a more "Honest" fighting style where incineroar represents a dirty wrestling style, and the types represent that
Bug
Doesn't make much sense to me but it's likely for balancing with psychic

>water
Grass is another favorite of mine and it doesn't get enough love.
Electric:This type always bugs me because I'll never carry any resistances (hence why I like grass to balance that out)Emogola was an annoying bastard during my white/white 2 runs
Fairy
I'm neutral to the poison type though I carry Toxic on a lot of my pokemon
I warmed up to dark type because I used A-Meowth on my team. Technician fake out and pursuit were great. Plus I love umbreon despite how bad it is.

Ice

Fire: Not my favorite at all, not a fan of heat in general. Still, there are plenty of good designs for this type, and burn is a useful status. The normal version of pic related is my favorite pokemon.

Steel: One of my favorite types in this franchise. It's the polar opposite of Ice - good defensively, not so great offensively. It's a safe type to work with, and it's a solid type in general.

Fighting: I guess it's alright. I don't have to strong an opinion on this type. It could.use some.more special moves, I suppose. Poliwrath is a bro.

Rock: Possibly my least favorite type. Not because I dislike it or the pokemon, it's simply does not interest me that much. It is similar to Ice, though, having strong offense and weak defense.

>>31451744
Competatively, Fighting sucked in Gen 1 and 2. Until Breloom, Medicham and Blaziken Fighting wasn't good. Machamp needed Priority and Noguard to be good, Hitmonlee Needed Unburden, and Heracross needed a mega.

Rock- Sneaker Pebbles is a pretty good move but i think they need an accuracy buff for most of their moves.

Not a huge fan of their designs for the most part, I've only ever used Meinshao and Bewear, but I feel bad for special fighting types because they're some of the most cucked Pokémon.

>Bug
No complaints here, my favorite Pokémon is half bug type. I wish GF would buff them both offensively and defensively, though.

>Fairy
The ultimate symbol of GF's incompetence. There were so many other options they could have chosen to check dragon, and their solution was to create a type more broken than dragon ever was. Absolutely brilliant.

Also, why is dark immune to psychic? Is there a good in-universe reason or was it gen 2's version of fairy fuckery?

One of my other favorite types, Decidueye is my favorite starter, which is good because the water starter this gen isn't exactly to my tastes unlike all the previous. Grass has lots of neat designs and cool concepts like Ferrothorn, Abomasnow or Kartana.
>Electric.
Electric is kinda weird. Despite being one of the seemingly main elemental types there's surprisingly few of them. Way less machinelike pokemon then I'd expect, basically only Magnemite, Voltorb, Rotom and Xurkitree. Most of them are just electric animals but a lot of them are cool like Luxray Eelektross, Vikavolt. And then you have weird cool stuff like Tapu Koko or Alolan Golem the bearded Railgun.

>Fire:
I don't hate fire types, but they always felt almost too few and far between. Most gens have just the starter, and maybe a line or 2. I almost feel bad for firefags

>Bug:
Probably my third-ish favorite type. Lots of cool pokemon (especially since gen 5), but unfortunately a shit ton of bad ones. GF needs to try and balance bugs better.

>Flying:
Normal-lite. Some cool mons but it's so full of bad ones, and the designs are sometimes a bit too generic.

>Ice:
I feel more pity towards ice than anything. Horrible defensively, and so many water types can learn the important ice moves (and/or have a secondary ice typing) that it's almost not worth it to ever use ice-types. A shame too, because there are some really well designed ice-types.

>Poison:
Also in my top 5 typings. Like with bug I feel that GF has slowly but surely being better to poison types. I'm conflicted on whether or not it's good that, like the aforementioned ice moves, toxic (and secondary poison typings) is/are so widespread. Makes it a bit useless to have a poison type sometimes. I love them, though.

>>31451770
I don't really care about the gameplay one bit. I don't play competitive with the exception of the TCG so design is top priority for me. As for playing the official games, six magikarp could splash their way through it o ehh to competitiveness.

Ground: I like ground enough to put it in my top 5 types and think the advantage over poison is fine.

Psychic: this one falls below the halfway mark on my rankings. There are some great psychic types and sort of get it from a balancing standpoint. I don't buy the mind over matter explanation some try to spin but it's fine.

I like that poison can work offensively or defensively. The addition of fairy types, while not handled perfectly, did boost poison and steel types which was nice.

>Dragon

>Dragon:
It's my favorite type, but I wish GF would design more varied mons for it instead of SUPERMACHODRAGONKILLKILLDEATHREEEE, you know?

>Ice:
I like the type a lot. If only it was Super Effective against Water.

>Fairy:
I'm on the fence about Fairy. On one hand it gives Dragon, Fighting, and Dark a much needed weakness, but on the other the type exists only for balancing and the designs aren't great (with a few exceptions like ALNinetales).
