ITT: What are some things from the TCG that really confused you/don't make sense?

I'll start, why are these lugia cards water type?

Because Lugia is Water-type?

He's themed around water. Thought he was a water type because of it for a while though.

Only started in the HGSS sets.

Probably because it lives in the sea and the water plays a nice contrast to Ho-oh's fire.

I always considered Lugia to be an honorary water type.

It's like Black/White Kyurem, it should have 3 types, but the game won't change that just for them.

Now, actually answering your question:

There is no Koga's Pidgeot, even though there is a Koga's Pidgeotto (he doesn't use any of them in the video games to begin with, does he?). There are other broken evolution lines in the Gym sets, I understand that that doesn't matter as long as the cards were designed with those incomplete lines in mind, but it seems so arbitrary.

Neo Genesis Lugia was a normal normal. I lucked out and on my 10th birthday in my first pack of Neo Genesis I got one of these plus a Holo feraligatr and a Holo kingdra. The second pack, everybody got me Pokemon card packs, I got a Shiny Charizard a Shiny Mewtwo and a Shiny Gyarados. I still have Charizard and Mewtwo but I traded Gyarados for something.

Okay... you are clearly someone who hasn't actually seen or played Pokemon in their entire life.
I will ignore you and just continue with my life because you are just spouting the sort of shit not fit for fertilizing crops.

Why Fighting encompasses 3 types. Rock and Ground together should've been a separate type. Type symbol could be a rock formation.

Why Psychic encompasses 3 types. Ghost could've easily been classified as Darkness.

This way, each of the TCG types would stand for 2 types at most, rounding out type usage more and making Weakness/Resistance more consistent and clear.

Colorless - Normal, Flying
Grass - Grass, Bug
Fire - Fire
Water - Water, Ice
Lightning - Electric
Ground - Rock, Ground
Psychic - Psychic, Poison
Fighting - Fighting
Darkness - Dark, Ghost
Metal - Steel
Dragon - Dragon
Fairy - Fairy

Darkness was introduced in gen 2, they could've look it like Gengar's Psychic typing refered to Poison.
You're right, it could've been a good move honestly...

Post more Pokémon cards with types different than the regular conversions. I know nothing of VGC and only now looked up how its types work.

Nah, Psychic and Ghost look better together than Psychic and Poison. Poison should be the standalone type.

Wouldn't Ghost Pokemon being Darkness type in the TCG make much more sense thematically though? Both in style and in type coverage.

Also in the mainline games, Ghost is weak against itself and Dark, which matches the proposed idea.

Back then poison was represented by grass, not psychic. It would make no sense.

Not only that, it was meant to promote a new type. It's like when fairy was introduced, they wouldn't annouce it as a new type just to encompass another type with it for no reason.

Make a thread with the official online dex's stats comparing it to the actual stats. I'm too lazy to make the thread.
