>>32801691dark: should be something that describes sneaky and unfair moves, but evil would trigger kids' parents
bug: should be at least insect, but kamen rider
fire: should be heat, but fire is classic and more direct
ice: should be cold since it's not just about literal water ice, but kids dont know that
grass: what the fuck, at least go for plant
normal: should be default, plain, undefined or something akin to that
flying: not sure how to name it to include wind while retaining the concept of something just being airborne
ghost: hardly literal ghosts. its ethereal, gaseous and weird creatures, rather than actually dead ones. abnormal?
rock: should be mineral, but rock is more kindergarten
poison: could also use a more general name that encompasses all sorts of health hazards
steel: feels way too specific. alloy? metal would be even worse as it gets rid of sub-themes of artificial machinery...
so most cases simply go to sacrificing accuracy for terms that a child will easily grasp
