OK guys, everyone loves posting their dumb opinions about why X type should beat Y type and how Game Freak are idiots. I'm a terrible person with stupid opinions as well, so I'm going to do that, too. But I'll also post huge walls of text on why I think everyone else is wrong like I have a degree in Pokémonology from Smogon University or some shit. So let's go!
What types are currently bad?
>I think Grass and Bug are underpowered because they have lots of weaknesses and few super effective hits and lots of types resist their STAB.
That's a pretty common assessment of the situation. It's also WRONG. To understand why, you have to think about how a Pokémon can be balanced.
There are several characteristics about a Pokémon which can be good or bad, that is, several ways in which it can be buffed or nerfed. Specifically, there are its typing, stats, ability and movepool. For in-game balance, there is also availability, difficutly to catch and difficulty to evolve, but let's ignore those aspects for now.
I mention this because to understand type balance, you have to understand that balanced types do not mean that all types are equally strong. In fact, there should be weak types that can be used to balance out Pokémon with good stats, movepools and abilities. What good balance in Pokémon should be understood to mean is that there are worthwhile Pokémon of every type.
Now take a look at Grass and Bug types. Grass types in general have very strong move pools, with things like Leech Seed, Powder moves, Synthesis, Aromatherapy, and Giga Drain. As such, their support movepool is often stellar. Grass types also work well in the most common core, Fire/Water/Grass, due to their resistances. Bug types also get a number of good moves like U-Turn and Quiver Dance, but often have well distributed stats (pretty much all the Bug Megas) and good abilities (Speed Boost, Aerilate, Techinician, Skill Link, Moxie...) as well. The type also pairs well with Steel because of its key resistances. Because of this, even though the two types are weak, they feature a lot of worthwhile Pokémon and work well as they currently are.
Let's move on to types that actually need attention.
Currently very good offensive types are: Dark, Ghost and Flying
Currently very good defensive types are: Water, Fairy and Steel
Curently bad types are: Poison, Ice and Rock
>But Dark, Ghost and Flying don't hit many things super effectively, and Ice and Rock do! Clearly those are the types that are actually good offensively!
WRONG AGAIN. A type with many super effective hits is a good coverage type, not necessarily a good offensive type.
Good offensive types need strong neutral coverage, the ability to switch in, and strong attacking moves.
But why is that? In general, a sweeper will want to come in on a resisted hit or after one of your Pokémon faints, set up one stats raising move (Sword Dance, Nasty Plot, Dragon Dance...) and KO the remaining Pokémon on the opponent's side with its strong STAB moves. If they are actually worthwhile sweepers, they can do this with neutral hits. Since it is much easier to get perfect neutral coverage than perfect SE coverage on a Pokémon (you can do it in as little as two moves), good neutral coverage in its STABs is the desired trait for a sweeper.
LEAKS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW

Kek. It's happening.

Hi Timmy. Saw you last thread.
So it's pretty much canon that PokeEarth = our world?
Gen 5 onwards, no.
>>26137278
Proof?
Lack of mentions isn't proof
>>26137278
But in the XY trailer they showed Kalos to be located in France in the trailer...
Ok so while in the Meta-Balancing thread yesterday I realized I'm a fucking idiot and didn't know that Bug was Resisted by so much. Seriously, the fuck is this shit? I realize one type has to be the worst but JESUS these offensive ineptitudes don't even make any sense.
Like why does Ghost resist bug
Why does fairy resist bug?? (coming from a fairy lover)
WHY DOES FIGHTING RESIST BUG??
Also I had no idea it was weak to rock, which is interesting. Like yay rock is good against something else I guess. I don't get the logic though.
Seriously, what is with Pokemon type meta. Why does Ice not resist water yet water resists ice? Should be the opposite IMO.
Can we please discuss this, in a somewhat serious matter because I'm actually interested in what you fucks think might truly make all types viable in their own niche.
>>26136500
>Also I had no idea it was weak to rock, which is interesting. Like yay rock is good against something else I guess. I don't get the logic though.
Rocks squish bugs I've always told myself.
>>26136528
Then shouldn't Steel be super effective against Bug as well? Also Water drowns bugs easily so Water should be super effective against Bug in addition.
>>26136546
you're right
bug should be weak to steel, and normal and fighting desu
I got a hold of this game recently, and this radical hand-drawn cover I found it with was practically begging for me to keep it.
I have very little experience with this game, so I ask you all this question: do you want to go on this journey with me?
do it.
Dammit, I've got a technical issue. How do I reduce the filesize of a jpeg image? It's too big to post.
>>26136117
Nevermind, I figured it out.
I'm going to give a few rules so we can keep this trucking along. I'm also taking the pictures from my phone, so bear with me.
1. I'll attempt to capture every Shadow Pokemon I encounter, but you guys pick what my team is.
2. I'll use Strawpoll to get a tally of what to use, who to catch in certain ABC choices, and various other things.
But first thing's first: what's my name? Since this is a variable thing, dubs decides.
Can we all agree that Nate was the shittiest-looking male PC we've had so far? Everything about this design is awful.
Nope, R/S Brendan was.
>>26135972
He's okay. The new Brendan and May take the cake for being the worst redesigns I've ever seen.
mmm
no.

Who are the worst people posting on this board right now?
>>26135867
are denialfags the people who think the owl isnt real, or the ones who think it isnt gen 7, or the ones who think it isnt gen 6.5?
add Mewtist/Richard
>>26135867
Well the owl posters have stopped spamming right now so that's nothing to really worry about at the moment, deniers of that mess aren't really spamming anything, and there isn't any spam of Strawpolls so I guess it's no one?
