Why does Gamefreak hate the Grass type?

The starters are always so weak you literally can't beat the game with them. There are barely any grass legendaries also.

I'm just waiting here for someone to post the Grass-type version of the "why X doesn't need a buff" image so that I can add it to the MD5 filtering list that 4chan X has.

Probably because it was a type that could heal itself and had all those status applying moves. Essentially it was the cleric

Grass is okay. It resists electric, ground, grass, and water, something which no other single type does. What really needs a buff is bug, because while its resistances to fighting, grass, and ground are useful, flying has those and is a better type than bug in every way.

No amount of larping is ever going to make the single player remotely like multiplayer battling, it should be played as a fun adventure only any effort to derive difficulty from Pokemon as a single player RPG is laughable.

Do you? I honestly never fucked around with doubles outside of BDSP and Swsh because as a kid I couldn't break the mentality that 6v6 was "proper" Pokemon and I didn't have emerald. But even then there are good and bad Pokemon of every type, Breloom is good grass type for example in those games. Grass is just status type and has added advantage of immunity to annoying shit like spore.

Grass type is great, no other type has access to as much status inflicting and support moves. Many grass types are shitmons, but that's to be expected.

Yes but the state Meganium is currently in is completely unacceptable. If the Chikorita line were just regular normal Pokemon, there wouldn't be as much complaints, but it's different considering that they're starter Pokemon.

Meganium is one of the most complained about Pokemon ever when it comes to battles, and for valid reasons.

Dragon literally resists 3 / 4 of the types grass resists with the added benefit of not having a weakness to five types.
Dragon types are grass types but better.

By that logic, bug and ice are clearly superior types since they have more uber pokemon than grass types.
Grass has the least amount, with a whooping 0 in ubers, Bug has Pheromosa and Ice has G-Darm.

Excellent stats but a useless ability (why didn’t it get tough claws)
the grass types in this image aren’t bad because they are grass types. They are bad because gamefreak fucking hates them.

Why do people call Grass type a defensive type when it is weak to 5 types? I don't know if you can call it an offensive type either as a 7 types resist type. Grass type seems to be a failure as both a defensive and a offensive type.

Only two of which (Fire and Ice) matter as coverage, and Ice coverage isn't even actually that common. So if you have a Grass type that has actually good stats, moves and abilities it's pretty easy to slap it on a team and check a lot of important stuff. Fire-Water-Grass cores have been a staple of teambuilding for decades for a reason.
