>>32325960Psychic type Legendary and Mythical Pokemon.
It always seemed to me that psychic types made up most of these groups, and for no reason. I guess part of it could be the whole link to supernatural abilities, but psychic feels like to go-to type for a lot of natural and supernatural phenomena that Pokemon are based off of.
Mew and Mewtwo are based off genetics and cloning - they are psychic types. Celebi utilizes time travel - also psychic. It goes on: Deoxys and DNA, Jirachi and wish granting, etc. These ones I can understand.
But the others don't make sense to me. Why the fuck is Lugia, the "guardian of the seas" and a Pokemon found in a water-based area, a psychic type instead of a water type? Why is Necrozma, a crystal-based lifeform that uses light, a psychic type instead of a rock type? Don't even get me started on Solgaleo. That fucker should of at least been part fire type.
I just don't get why psychic is used so much, when there are more appropriate type choices (at least in my eyes), and we could potentially have more type variety.
On a related note, I think Tapu Lele should have been Fire/Fairy instead. Burning Terrain sounds like a cool effect, and fire fits in with the grass, water, and electric types (starter type + pika) that the other Tapus have. That's just my opinion though.
Does this bother anyone else at all?
