primary, secondary, whatever. Normal shouldn't be dual-typed, period. Normal is supposed to be the catch-all for things that don't fit into any other category. If there's another type that described the pokemon, it shouldn't be normal.

This goes for all normal/flying mons too, as those should all be flying monotype. Bibarel should be pure water, Litleo should be pure fire, etc

Exactly this.

Although I'm ok with the Normal/Flying birds as if they were Rattatas with wings. But the rest can go

Normal is often associated with Beasts (Tauros, Miltank) or non-elemental (Porygon, Silvally).

Normal/other type = Beast + Element (Pyroar, Sawsbuck, Bibarel, Drampa) or a non-elemental that has not transitioned completely into an element (Meloetta, Heliolisk, Indeedee).

I am trying to adopt your point of view but the term "beast" is so tremendously generic that it could apply to the majority of the pokédex, making your point about normal types invalid.

Beast just pretty much refers to any...well, normal...mammalian animal. Look at a list of normal Pokemon. Admittedly, I can understand your confusion since GameFreak isn't 100% consistent at all (ex.: Donphan and Hippowdon) but it's the best explanation I can come up with.

I kind of get it, but not quite.

Any pokémon that is not a dragon, bug, sealife, ghost, plant or mineral, which all have very specific types associated, is mostly either a reptile or a mammal which are spread out across various typings. You see mammals represented in many types; normal, fire, water, fairy, ground, electric, fighting, psychic, dark, etc.

translation: it's brown or tan rather than being red for fire or blue for water
There is zero reason why litleo should be normal/fire while growlithe is just fire. They should both just be fire monotype.

>>46745232
I actually make an exception for girafarig, because it's whole deal is that it's literally two different creatures stuck together, catdog style. It's the one instance where I can accept normal dual type, because it's conveying its split physiology.

GameFreak has NEVER been consistent in terms of design, and it annoys me to no end when anons complain and argue over it. This is what you get when you franchise is designed by committee.

I can buy Girafarig and Pyroar since a lot of normal types are land-living mammals, but Heliolisk is a bit odd, I don't think there's any reptile Normal types aside from Keckleon. I don't see what's so normal about it.

I do want a type reboot to happen. Review the types of all mons, maybe even get rid of some types like flying, and turn them into abilities or some new additional mechanic.

If you want to go full clusterfuck you could make every move have a variety of attributes and each Pokemon species has buff or boon to both using or getting hit by. Most Flying, Flying, Dark, Dragon and Bug type moves would become Normal type for element but have more damage from something with appropriate anatomy for the move. Reverse is true so a Pokemon with an exoskeleton does more damage with Crabhammer and a Pokemon that is of the former fighting type and didn't skip leg day does more damage with Blaze Kick. Since this makes abilities like Iron Fist redundant, they will be replaced.

The reason some pokemons have a secondary normal type is because they have a white/beige colored spot on their body, which explains why

My theory is that Heliolisk's Normal type is meant to represent how it derives electricity from sunlight. It's just a generic representation of non-electric energy, like Hyper Beam or Explosion.
