    I feel like I need to sit down and re-memorize the Pokemon type effectiveness chart.

      @northernnarwhal Bug beats dark and psychic!?

        @scribus Yup! And don't ask me why, I'm just as confused!

      @northernnarwhal Well I mean, if you assume the bug is a firefly then it kinda makes sense.... a little bit...

        @redenchilada What about psychic though? Some medium deep in meditation gets infuriated by a passing fly?

          @northernnarwhal Actually, that probably works. Physics need a lot of focus usually, right? Bugs are annoying.

            @redenchilada Why are bugs resistant to fighting though? You'd figure punching a bug would do it in, right?

              @northernnarwhal My reasoning was always "bugs are grapein' nasty do you want to get that stuff on you??"

                @mrmattimation I think you generally have to use some pretty stretched logic to justify the more archaic Pokemon type matchups

              @northernnarwhal I'm trying to figure out why ice can beat a dragon if dragons breathe fire which melts ice

              1. Matt Matt

                @redenchilada Okay, that one I think I can explain somehow. See, dragons are impervious to fire, so some Japanese guy who doesn't know how mythology works was just like "What's the opposite of fire???"

                  @mrmattimation Strangely, most dragons in Pokemon don't even breath fire.

                  1. Matt Matt

                    @metaltao Yeah they do. Most dragon types can learn flamethrower, at least.

                        @metaltao Plus there are moves like Dragon Rage that look suspiciously like fire.

                          @mrmattimation This fire... *Blows pipe* Looks suspicious!

                @redenchilada Also it's funny that psychic is weak against ghost considering that many psychics actively attempt to channel spirits

                  @northernnarwhal they said it somewhere that psychic is a mind based pokemon type, and its weakness involve common fears, like ghosts, darkness and bugs

                    @mushi Ah! So Ghost is like.. Not so much being an Actual "Ghost" But that you are terrifying!

                    @mushi That makes sense, though you'd also figure that a trained mind would be able to suppress common fears. Pokemon is weird.

                    @scribus At least in Gen 2 Shadow Ball became a TM so it made for a good coverage option
