>>33510324I REALLY like this idea. It provides a good balance between types and leaves room for obvious additions in Red and Green.
If this game really had come out, I feel like Bug Pokemon would likely have been Grass type, since they share so many weaknesses. Ghost would be Psychic, and it even accounts for the lack of balance between Ghost and Psychic in Gen 1.
Poison being Psychic seems like a bit of a stretch, but it would ensure balanced match-ups.
Ice could very easily be Water, and Fighting and Rock being Ground works really well.
I am against having dual types, as it gets in the way of such a basic typing system, so I propose that we add in BIRD type, since we know for a fact that it was present in early development, and was eventually changed to FLYING.
Naturally this type would be a simplified FLYING type, weak to electric but strong against grass. Additionally, only basic bird Pokemon would have this type. The Pidgey, Fearow, and Doduo lines, as well as Farfetch'd if it happens to make the cut.
