>>48090970No reason bugs can't just be treated as they treat the mammals. Unlike birds or fish, there are no uniques characteristics that would tie almost all arthropods to a single type. Just focus on their characteristics, and typings other than Bug come easily, especially when only 21 Bug types out of 84 are mono typed. Shift the mono types over to Normal, and take Bug out of the dual types and the retyping work is done save for the ones where dual typings can still work by adding in other types. When you see which Bug types out of all of them would end likely up as mono Normal in this scenario, it doesn't feel all that empty of a reality.
>>48091357As for the moves, when you look at them, only Bug Bite, Bug Buzz, Sticky Web, Spider Web, and Struggle Bug are specific to bugs. The rest are actually varied enough that they could easily be given to different types, unless you want to give them all to Normal, in which case, Normal's movepool is already so large that it wouldn't make much of a difference.
