Honestly, I don't know.
I know that Sinnoh only had 2 fire-type lines in DP, but I don't know why GF didn't just add more fire-types or make an E4 member for a different type.

The only Elite 4 member with a pure monotype team before gen 3 was Will.

This is what anti-DP trannies what. Remember what we're fighting for Sinnohchads.

>The only fire type you could catch was Ponyta
>Magmortar was introduced this gen, no magby in game
>The Fire-type Elite four looked like a clown
>Also only had two actual Fire-types on his team

Why did DP hate Fire-types so much?

So he almost had as many ghosts as Agatha, dragons as Lance, dark-types as Karen, etc?

Not quite. Though it isn't her 'advertised' type, Agatha is technically a mono-poison trainer.

None of those pokemon have anything to do with Sabrina's character, make a romhack with an original region and original characters instead of churning out these soulless Firered romhacks that just wear Kanto as a skin because the talentless romhacker needs the crutch.

I feel like Elite 4 types weren't supposed to be just pokemon of those types like the gym leaders, but the type in general, so including moves and general esthetic

Moves, yes. General aesthetic though? Drifblim doesn't have a fire-type aesthetic, it just knows will o wisp.

The point I was making was in favor of the non monotype design ethos in general including romhacks.

I'm pretty sure most of /vp/ dislikes Flint being non-monotype, and dislikes Radical Reddit (for other reasons, but Sabrina having exactly 0 psychic types probably doesn't help).

Yes, difference being Lance and Agatha had all of one line each, Dragonite and Gengar, for their respective typings when gen 1 came out. There were about 5 lines with Dark type during Gen 2, they gave a couple to Karen and saved the last couple to be found, fair enough.

Flint in comparison has a dozen Fire-types to choose from, and they coded all of two lines in Diamond and Pearl. One of which was the fire starter Chimchar.
Now to be fair they fix this mistake in Platinum, but it didn't make it any less stupid to begin with.

it would've been cool if they gave him a decent sun team, then he could've used a mix of grass and fire types. too bad tangela wasn't available in dp and leafeon was postgame lol

So if we're all a hivemind, I guess that means you're just venting your own thoughts on the matter.
Why do you struggle with Sabrina, anon?

It's really interesting because it's clear that Gen 3 had a shift to making E4 strictly type-based, and that's followed here, and despite this they both chose a Fire-type for E4 AND neglected to include any Fire-types.
Platinum fixing it proves that it wasn't them trying to deviate from that norm either, it was just plain incompetence.

Pretty much, I want to say I was surprised by this but... well it's Game Freak we're talking about.
Really the only thing that genuinely annoys me is when people unironically insist it was intentional and try to defend what was clearly a mistake.
