If we went back to 1997 and told everyone that Game Freak was going to add a new type specifically to nerf dragons, what do you think they'd say

"They should actually nerf those fucking Psychic Types - They are overpowered as fuck. I just hope GF will add two new types, one Psychic has no effect on and one that resists Psychic."

Why nerf dragonite? He's supposed to be strong, that's why he's so hard to get!

Actually ghost was weak to psychic and psychic immune to ghost gen 1. So all three ghosts were x4 weak.

Second type is still weak to Psychic, not much of an improvement.

Paras/ect might be an option as Bug/Grass, though I can't say I used either of them.

Ghost wasn't weak to psychic.

It was just that the only ghost Pokemon available were part poison.

Parasect was actually one of the few things that had a chance against Gen I Mewtwo competitively, and it was entirely because of Spore.

What? No.

Gastly, Haunter and Gengar were/are Ghost/Poison, and take 2X damage from Psychic attacks because of it.

Psychic was not immune to Ghost, where on Earth did you get that idea? It was weak to Ghost, but the only Ghost attacks were Night Shade, which did fixed damage, and Lick, which was weak as shit.

Actually, in Red and Blue ghost... Did nothing to Psychic unless it was Night Shade. They forgot to check Lick and assumed Ghost was working as normal, forgetting that, at the time, fixed damage attacks ignored types entirely, including immunity iirc

This is why Alakazam had no defense

Also Mewtwo was probably Psychic because it was intended to be the strongest type from the beginning

Psychic was immune to that one move, not the entire type. Night Shade still hit.

>>16091226
Ideally you'd bring it in after Mewtwo comes out and KO's something weakened without using amnesia first.

I guess its just semantics at this point, but again, psyhcic was not immune to ghost by design, and it was only that one move that it was immune to because of a glitch.

Psychic was immune to the entire type by a glitch. Night Shade was the one move that hit because of a different glitch, wherein fixed damage moves ignored type immunity. That's why Night Shade was able to hit Normal-types, too.

Basically Gen 1 was a just big 'ol bag of crazy glitches.

They would ask why because there's only one fully evolved Dragon type, and they'd be a bit concerned about Psychic type more anyway (at least after release).
