I don't see the problem with it showing which move will be the most effective, because :
1) Just because it's super effective, doesn't mean it's the best option. A stab normally effective move might do more fldamage overall than a super effective one, depending on the base power.
2) Most JRPGs (if not all with Pokemon now) show the opponents weaknesses AFTER you've fought them once already. Since Pokemon IS a JRPG, why is this a bad thing? And it's not like you won't eventually know the typing in question sooner or later, you can't be constantly suprised.
3) At this point, most of us here know our typing charts (no, ice is SE against rock, as some mistake it to be).
4) It really helps out the newer audience who aren't familiar with the game whatsoever. And with that, GF might have added an option to turn it off for the "veterans". Like I mentioned before, SE isn't always the best option.
5) This won't really help competitively speaking.
You people are bitching for the sake of it. But, you need to remember that these games are dedicated to children, so it being "casual" would make sense. And this also helps those who've been playing for years now, since it gets hard to follow with all these new mons.
