You could have just said Dive working literally anywhere except a sea battle.

This is the sort of shit that you just have to accept cause it really wouldn't be anything but annoying if you couldn't use dive on land or dig on water or earthquake in buildings.

"Magic type energy" has been a canon observable fact for decades. It's the whole reason type match-ups are even a thing in-universe. They're how different elemental energies interact with each other.

But it's canon. Even to this day they sometimes bring up that Pokemon are only able to use Pokemon Moves because of Elemental Energy they naturally generate in accordance with their type or are able to manifest for the moves they're able to learn, with the most recent example being JN103 elaborating further that moves are effectively executed through a Chakra Points system where the energy flows through the body and into where it needs to go, such as Sirfetch'd here struggling with transferring its innate Fighting Energy to its leek so it can perform Meteor Assault.
Earthquake isn't a LITERAL Earthquake, it's Ground Energy manifesting as a localized phenomena based on the user's physical strength that only targets and damages fellow combatants (be they friend or foe) that the move can reach out to.
Dive isn't LITERALLY diving into water even if there isn't water, it's Water Energy manifesting in a way that the user effectively "slips away" to imbue themselves with that energy for a follow-up bash where they appear to "float up" out of the energy, now having absorbed it and channeled it properly, in order to attack.

I don't care that it's canon"", I know damn fucking well that isn't how tajiri intended it, I am 100% sure that gamefreak only uses that explaination to dodge retarded questions like>>50220804 Obviously they were trying to mimmick real life logic with the type system but it was the fucking gameboy, and they needed to add kinda weird type match ups with barely coherent logic like bug > psychic for balance reasons. The only reason you retards gobble it up is because you want a headcannon that's consistent with the anime and games that makes it all out to make perfect sense instead of just accepting that it's cause of the inherent limitationw that come from game design and animation

Play the damn game. How else do you explain "gamey" type match-ups like Fighting beating Dark, Fighting beating Steel, or Fairy immune to Dragon?

Also, the anime is supervised to ensure that it matches the games.

Yes, and then those weird type match-ups were justified by making it elemental energy. There doesn't need to be a reason when magical energy is involved, Psychic is just weak to Bug energy because it just is (i.e. X-Scissor being able to break Trick Room because it's a Psychic type move)

GameFreak and TPC regularly meet up with OLM to make sure they're not spewing shit out of their ass that falsely depicts the Pokemon World and how it works to avoid early anime disasters like "PIKACHU, THE HORN!" and Thunder Armor.
Like it or not, this got their collective approval and is confirmed lore.

Psychic types are weak against common fears. Like ghosts, bugs and obviously dark things.

If that's True, why isn't it weak to other common fears like fire ans water ?
Your headcannon might be widespread but It's still only a crutch, the actual reason is very probably game-design/balance related

No one freaks out when they see fire or water. Your mom screams like a bitch getting raped when she sees bugs.

Heck, altitudes AND flying are just as common, should psychic be weak to flying ?

Dark type doesn't mean literal darkness - it means 'Evil'. That's why Dark is super-effective against Psychic - a Psychic will wish they'd not read the mind and plans of someone who is truly evil. This is also why Psychic has no effect against Dark - reading the mind of someone who is inherently evil will not change their intentions.
