What is Normal Type? Is there even a way to give it a coherent definition?

It was probably intended to be a jack of all trades, given that e.g. in Gen I, Rattata could learn Thunderbolt and Blizzard. Since then it's changed and nowadays it's treated like a regular type, which is something of a problem since it's usually more detrimental than beneficial to the Pokémon who have it. That said, I love Normal types, probably my second or third favourite type.

Normal suffers from being a "move type first" as a mon type its identity is actually just nonsense.
Its logical from the perspective of attacks and having early mons have limited elemental interaction(for whatever reason gamefreak even wanted this).

>>51565571
Oh yeah, Jiggypuff is real normal. Or lickitung or castform. This doesn't work as an identity because a good half of the type definitely doesn't follow this rule.

A normal type pokemon is a pokemon with no particular affinity

-Persian: Cat monster
-Torracat: Fire Cat monster

Half normal pokemon are just pokemon on their way to becoming another type

-Alolan Raticate: Normal rat gaining affinity to Dark
-Pyroar: Lion pokemon with fire restricted to mane, little mastery over the element

Normal = neutral, or lacking in elemental damage. Just a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, "a la mode" if you will.

You'd have to be autistic to not understand the point of the Normal type. Its the 'control group', the base of comparison for all other types. Eevee is the perfect example; it has no elemental affinity of its own, yet it has the potential to evolve based on exposure to elemental energy.

Normal types are just Pokemon with normal type elemental energy.

An aspect of Normal that people often overlook is that outside of the truly regular (such as Tauros or Ursaring), Normal types tend to be overly defined by a single trait or behavioral quirk than other Pokemon. Normal has a lot of OCD Pokemon.

That's in-universe explanation which is very boring. We want to know the designer's choice.

Uh huh, so why are there mons that have an element alongside the no element?
Again, normal only works in the context of attacks; its whatever the fuck they want in regards to mon typing.
