psychic type is weak to common fears as they are weaknesses of a mind

This one's pretty obvious. But either way, the fans will fill in the gaps even if it doesn't make sense.

Gen 1 psychic was OP as fuck. However they fucked it up when they tried to balance it later on.

Psychic should be be combination of wizard magic, super intelligence, and sci fi mental abilities.

They should destroy fighting, mind over matter, and likewise resist the most "physical" smashing and bashing types, mainly fighting, steel, rock.

They should have no problem with the darkness, or ghosts or bugs.

Dark = Evil

Psychic = Read minds

Read mind of an evil person = wish you didn't know

If someone has evil intentions, being able to read their mind wont stop that evil from perpetuating.

Pretty obvious.

Psychic has always been weak to bug the only reason it was irrelevant in gen 1 was because all of the bug pokemon were terrible and their movepools were also terrible. Most of them didn't learn bug moves that actually inflicted damage. Only beedrill who happened to be part poison. It's possible you could make the argument that since bugs are so insignificant that the Psychics simply would be ignorant of them and hence why they can one up the Psychic type.

Psychic needs a buff.
Tbh that entire ghost-psychic-dark triangle needs adjustments. It just feels too isolated. The only one that doesn’t is psychic and that’s just because they slapped a bunch of weaknesses and resistances nerfs on it.

The dark is cunning, and represents a natural and ever growing list of things that can ravage your psyche. Psychic types rely on that, so they are left in shambles when met face to face with something that is capable of sheering through it. They may outsmart fighting types, but only the strong can keep the darkness at bay.

Have you run your fingers down the wall and have you felt your neck skin crawl when you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look at the corner of the room you've sensed that something's watching you.
Have you ever been alone at night and hought you heard footsteps behind and turned around and no one's there?
And as you quicken up your pace you find it hard to look again?

Peering into undiluted evil is traumatic.
You see this Sandile here? What do you think it's thinking about? Food, nice, sand, Mama? No! What lies in the mind of this and every other Dark type is pure concentrated evil. The evils of murder, rape, corruption, cheating, bribery, trickery are all innate to them and it takes only one peep into their mind to break even the mind of an Arceus with a Psychic plate.

Original types are Esper and Evil

Your theory doesn't make sense, espers includes any person with power or sensitivity to all kinds of supernatural phenomena (psychic powers, mana, astral plane, demonology, spirits, magic, even ufology) people who study these topics often come across the worst of the worst in the world, is like telling me that the weakness of a surgeon is blood.
