Are we witnessing Normal (and possibly Ground) type genocide?
>lost 8 Pokemon last gen and had a net gain of 0, being the only type to do either
>Fletching was the first regional bird/owl to lose its Normal typing upon evolving
>Alolan Meowth lost its Normal typing despite being just a palette swap
>Rockruff looks Normal or Ground if anything, yet is somehow pure fucking Rock
>Alolan SANDshrew became Ice/Steel
>Alolan Cubone goes from pure Ground to Fire/Ghost; the most radical type change in a single evo
Is Gamefreak acknowledging some fans complaint that Normal feels pointless and Ground/Rock/Steel feel redundant? What about Psychic, Ghost, and Fairy? Will Gen 8 see the amount of types reduced and simplified?
