yes, there is a lot more focus on type combinations nowadays as it's more interesting to people than monotypes. All your examples almost certainly had their types determined before the design was finalized, though

Yet nearly all gen 4 cross gen evos keep the exact same typings.
If anything gen 7 started it by introducing regional forms which generally had out of left field typings

And considering only Lucario, whose steel type is perfectly explainable, is from before gen 7 in OP’s pic, yeah.

Conceptually, it should be Fighting/Psychic. But Medicham already existed and Gallade was introduced in the same generation, so they probably wanted Lucario to be more unique.

Wings are a major part of Charizard's design, the steel spikes could be removed from Lucario and not much would change

Pokemon typing has been inconsistent since day 1. And way more conservative than every fakemon dex, which will throw out a shit ton of 'cool' dual types like ice/dragon or water/fire.

No, Gen 4 didn't do a pure Flying, it was like an unwritten rule that it needs to have something else to it.
Gen 5 broke that, though it was sort of justified with it being a wind god.

prior normal/flying types were animals that could fly and use wind to attack. tornadus is pure flying because it IS the wind.
then the gen 8 birds fucked things up for no reason.
