>>37450030>Why is Fighting weak to Flying?You ever try to punch a bird?
>Why is Steel immune to Poison even when half the attacks are things like Acid that have nothing to do with actual poison?Because they were thinking of actual poison at the time they made that decision. Acids tend to not melt steel anyway.
>Why is Bug not weak to Water when the vast majority of insects drown extremely easily because they aren't strong enough to break surface tension?Truth be told, Bug should be logically have more weaknesses, but they need to draw the line somewhere. It would be weak to Ice and Electric otherwise.
Why are Fighting types strong enough to break through solid Ice/Rock/Steel but not a block of wood?
Very few Grass Types are made of wood. They're usually some sort of softer plant material.
Why is Rock and Ground weak to Water due to water erosion but not weak to Flying due to wind erosion?
Most Flying Type moves are bird-themed, especially back in Gen I. You will notice that almost no Flying moves are direct wind-blast moves and even then, water erodes waaaaay faster. Point a hose at the ground and it'll carve its way through it pretty quick.
>How can Fire types generate the heat to melt Steel but not to evaporate Water?It would be stupid and unintuitive otherwise.
>Not all type matchups make senseTo YOU. They don't make sense to YOU. Just cause you don't get it doesn't mean there's no logic there.
>>37450036>Many ice pokemon are naturally at a very low temperature though. Glalie for instance, is said to instantly freeze moisture in the atmosphere.If you want to make it so that Ice Types resist Water moves, but only during Hail, that's one thing. But the whole logic of 'they PRODUCE cold, so it freezes the water' really just means that Ice should resist Ice. Which it does. Why would Ice resist a WARMER VERSION of itself? Ice Types want to stay cold.
