>>42033369>Dragons should be rare and powerful.True, but there should be only one to choose from, having a few that are hard to get adds some variety
>Bugs should be weak, but evolve fast.I mean every type has to have it's allstars, there is no point in making shit pokemon for the sake of filling the dex. Other series have had giant insect bosses and the like.
>Ghosts should be rare and focus on statuses and de-buffs.True, but there honestly be more than one or two options to chose from. Think about how many yokai types there are, there shouldn't just be one a gen
>Making the same move for each different type diminishes their uniqueness and using a fire pokemon should require different strategies from a water pokemon.True, but having pokemon with good stats and no viable moves isn't the best way to remedy that, before the split this happened constantly.
>Every type should have a distinct gimmickOf course, but this is the wrong way of going about it
>Psychic being over powered in Gen 1 makes sense given the lore of the type.Yes, but you shouldn't be fucked if you don't have one of your own.
You are making good points, but I don't think you are seeing the bigger picture.
