steel is a naturally durable material, as it is something we can observe

as we have no observations on ghosts, it makes no sense for ghost to resist bug

Exactly.
That's why Psychics don't have many weaknesses.
Just bug, because there brains are either a)small/not centralized or b)part of a hivemind.
Dark because their evil and the dark side clouds the ability to foresee the future.

by the analogy you used it does. but not every steel pokemon is a lawnmower. i also prefer it if gf would try to make a real balanced game instead of some shitty thematic ("ghosts r scarier than bugs"/"dragon charizard would be weak to fairy, so let's add fairy resistance to fire") and so on

Quoted By:

Grass should be immune/resist fairy because fairies are supposed to protect nature

Normal types should be immune to fairy because they are just normal things and do have time to deal/believe in fake fairy shit

Ice should be super effective against water because it'll freeze it. It should also resist fairy, bug and flying

Off topic, but ground type attacks should be to grass types as ice attacks are to water.

I just want bugs to resist one more type and be SE against one more type.

Hell, resits fairies and be SE against fairies.

Why does GF hate bugs?
