WHY THE FUCK DO THESE SYMBOLS CHANGE EVERY GEN.
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
I'VE USED THE TERM "TRIGGERED" IRONICALLY IN THE PAST, BUT IT IS STARTING TO GET SERIOUS

I think it's nice that it changes when it comes to the aesthetics of the game and overall worldbuilding, Alola and Lental being good examples.
If the series was to have a consistent, static, evergreen set of symbols, then it should have happened back when the series was starting, up to Gen 3 if being generous. That's not so say they can't do that now, but if they do, I hope regional sets stay and players have the option of which ones they want to see in the UI like how there used to be one for the frames of text boxes.
Also because I find the BDSP set to kinda suck overall and I don't want it to stay. Here's hoping the symbols in OP's image will be the ones used for LZA.

Agreed. I grabbed this forever ago and have used them for personal projects, they're not perfect but at least it's a full set that's close to those early 3d energy cards.

Nobody cared in gen 3-5 when it was just color-coded rectangles with text, and gen 6 just made them ovals in the actual ui. It's a minor detail that didn't matter beyond readability until they decided to make it a bigger deal.

It was LGPE when they first used symbols for the types in the UI since it was heavily derived from GO. XY's was overworld only, ORAS had none, and Alola's was just the Z-Crystals.
Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't do it in Gen 6 alongside the removal of legible overworld text due to language options and worldwide releases.

I know it's supposed to be a wing for Flying type, but that looks silly.
I've also never been a huge fan of the star shape for colorless/Normal type. Much as I agree with the sentiment that the BDSP/SV set could be improved, I really like the Normal type symbol of that set. A round circle, a shape with no great standout characteristics... but it has those ears to symbolise a monster, normal type attacks typically displaying raw strength.

Normal is probably the best one in the BDSP set and my preferred choice to represent that type for the very reason you stated. It also has one of the better icons for Flying and Ghost. Everything else is middling or bad.
>Bug really could use some antennae
>Dark takes Psychic's eye, which is made more baffling in SV when an eye is used for Psychic's Tera Jewel
>Dragon has too much Charizard
>Fairy does look more buglike than Bug as anon put it
>Grass is grass and it is ass
>Ground and Ice are the only pixely ones and look like they should be in Quest instead
>Poison's isn't bad and the best version of the ones that use bubbles, but I prefer the skull
>Psychic should've added another ring or better, take the eye back from Dark
>Why does Rock look more polished than Steel?
