In my mind these are essentially the same thing. Ever since I was a kid playing Red, it annoyed me so much and I still think about it sometimes.
dragon vs. fire (dragons are literally best known for producing fire) and dark vs. ghost (ghosts seem like creatures that have a lot to do with darkness) bothered me more tbh
This two only make sense in Japan I think.
Dragon with fire is more of a west thing. It’s make sense for Dragon to resist lighting, fire and water since is what they are associate in Asia, Pokémon doesn’t have a wind type, maybe they should resist flying? Dark is the evil type and ghost is not always evil.
They made it even worse by making
allmost of the rock types also ground types in the beginning.Not true. The 1st gen fossil pokemon are rock/flying and rock/water.
Yes,You are correct. My intent was to point out thatalthoughyour average player would be exposed to the Geodude line, the Rhyhorn line, and Onix significantly more often than any of the fossil Pokemon.Edited for politeness
There is so much I’d love to see changed about this series. I doubt anything will ever seriously change to my liking. I think the best thing is to play romhacks or other games that capture the spirit of pokemon.
Do you have any recs for romhacks?
I’m only just getting into it, but I’m playing Pokemon ultra violet.
Is a hack of fire red and it is pretty vanilla, but you can catch all the Pokemon and but have to trade for trade evolutions.
Also, you can choose a starter like normal or go to some kind of safari zone and get something else. I caught a ghastly as my starter.
