Why is it "Steel" type and not "Metal" type? Steel implies that all steel pokemon are made of steel which is not the case with pokemon like Registeel. And besides, Steel isn't even an element. It's an alloy.

In my country they call it "tipo metal" (metal-type). Looks like it's the same case for danish, dutch, german, norwegian and swedish.

>thinking "bug" means "insect"

A bug is strictly a specific type of insect, and more generally can be used to refer to members of various invertebrate groups inlcuding insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and mollusks. Either you use the general definition (in which case every Bug-type is a bug) or the strict definition (in which case 90% of the insect-based Pokémon aren't bugs either). Saying "the insects are bugs and the non-insects aren't" makes no sense.

I hate to use reddit as a source, but on 'whatsthisbug' they allow people to post crustaceans to help each other identify them.

Also in the old bug fights show in japan, they would have prawns and large shrimp fight the insects and arachnids on the show

Children do. Are you telling me you never referred to snails as bugs when you were a kid? Not to mention many crustaceans are very similar to insects and arachnids, to a child they might as well be the same thing. Also, I forgot worms on that list.

>make pokémon based on aquatic creates non-water-type
>put them in caves and grass instead of the water
>still the same two fucking pokémon on every water route

Stunfisk is the exception, but they still put it in both puddles AND deep water in three consecutive areas where the other wild Pokémon were also exactly the same. I hope they fired the guy responsible for that bullshit.
