ideas for type match-ups?
also, this isnt the final selection, threw everything on it that could remotely qualify just to see how big the list would get with the widest definition.
basically, plastic might sound silly at first, but the intention was to make a type that represents artificial/synthetic creatures...but not necessarily man-made (the appearance of being man-made is just as valid, as well as merely being made up of other things that are artificial rather than the creature itself). I settled for plastic in the end because it's shorter and simpler, after realizing that most other type names aren't that accurate either anway (ie ghost types aren't literal pkmn ghosts, but rather weird etheral/gaseous creatures with sinister designs etc. ghost is just a straightforward easy to grasp term that mostly sums it up)
