Can you honestly look me in the eye and say they weren't just trying to nerf Dragons?

They were also buffing fire and psychic type... Stop being so butt devastated because Dragon types now have a non shitty weakness.

So you're telling me you'd rather nerf a type and buff another, instead of create a whole new type with multiple nerfs and buffs to types?

I'd rather have a new type.

I wouldnt mind a new type

I just didnt want tween pandering shit like fairy type

I would have rather had fucking dragon slaying type if they wanted to go for that

But psychic NEEDED a nerf because it literally only resisted itself and was only weak to the weakest type in the game.

Dragons are weak to a powerful offensive type and themselves. Yes, they're OP but most of them have shitty secondary types anyways.

Steel and fighting don't need a buff.

Normal needs to be SE against fairy.

Why? Because dragon slayers in myths often have humble beginnings.

Also normal is the only type that's SE against nothing.

It's a lot easier to say one type has effectiveness against X types, then it is to list the changes in every single old type.

but normal deals normal damage to everything but rock and steel and it's immune to ghost it doesn't need anything else.

Why the fuck not? Steel type is next to useless offensively and fighting type is in and of itself limited as well.

Shit steel type already resists dragon. Might as well make it strong against it to

>Why? Because dragon slayers in myths often have humble beginnings.
>therfore they should be effective against magical things
