>>18366100Why would that be more cookie cutter when, if the pokemon types are diversified, it would lead to actually having to think about your approach and learn something about actually playing the game? That would be way more interesting and useful than "welp, this gym is water so I guess I'll just drop Pikachu or some grass type in front and mash A until I get a badge."
I don't mean they have to drop favoring certain types entirely depending on what the strategy is, just that it's not good that the concept of a gym hasn't evolved for 20 years while the players have. Imagine there was a gym that had a weather theme built into all of the teams or if there was a gym that was all about misdirection and status/utility moves. Pushing things like this more would actually teach players about the game and make them git gud.
