>gatekeep pure flying for generations
>randomly give it to route 1 bird for no reason
i hate gamefreak
This
PURE flying should be reserved for some kind of wind elemental that embodies the very essence of being airborne
Not some fricking birb
Normal/Fly is better defensively than pure Fly
Fricking how? All you get is a Ghost immunity and a neutrality to Fighting.
Which is great? Fighting types will die from your faster bird anyway.
Because there is a move called nest I think that removes the flying type for the duration of the battle, which would leave a mono flying Pokémon typeless.

>typeless bird is bad
>its okay when typeless fire-types did it with burnout
I fricking hate GF and their moronic mindset
>Roost was introduced in Gen 4, when Game Freak was so autistic about continuity, they required incense for pre-evos after Gen 2.
>Burn Up was introduced in Gen 7, by then, Game Freak was on the verge of or has given up making sense for every detail to the detriment of having it inconsistent with a similar move.
I hate how Game Freak is always at the far ends of the swinging pendulum.
All they need to do is make it so a pure Flying retains its type but it's now vulnerable to Ground for a turn.
Because Gamefreak autism had them decide from the start that Flying is a 'secondary' type, hence the abundance of Normal/Flyings for what should just be pure Flyings early on.
And then Tornadus came along, based on a wind deity, however they've to this point shoved all 'wind' moves into Flying. I think that broke their autism enough for them to say frick it and start treating Flying as a standard type from then on, with them immediately giving something Flying as the primary type in the following Gen with Noivern and in general not caring where it goes on many Pokémon after that. Rookidee is probably where they were like they knew it was going to be defined by its other type eventually so just truly gave up.
Honestly dual type normals were a mistake
Because Normal/Flying was originally the Bird type that got split so that GF could give it to things like Zubat that aren't birds. Flying has always been treated as an attribute that can be removed or gained (or at least partially with Levitate, etc.). It makes sense why it took so long to come out with a pure Flying type; what kind of Pokemon fits the concept of "purely" floating in the air? Corviknight is most likely nu GF not knowing or caring about this and doing it purely because they could.
rookidee and corvisquire should not be mono flying
Probably tracks back to Gen 1 with the Bird type in the coding and ended up as a holdover of how they design and constitute a Pokemon as a Flying type.
Tornadus is an interesting example of a pure Flying type since it learns none of the Flying type moves associated with Bird Pokemon like Wing Attack, Feather Dance or Brave Bird, even in its bird-like form.
I think they're finally trying to break the philosophy with more Pokemon like the Rookidee line.
And if you really want to get autistic about it, Flying was always the secondary typing listed on a Pokemon, and now since Gen 8, a few Flying types have it listed the primary one.
>even in its bird-like form.
Do any of the genies have different learnsets between forms?
Let's retype them!
I would accept all of these.
Good ideas anon.
disagree with Pidgey. It's the most "normal" looking pokemon in the series, literally just my mom's bird. Normal type fits it.
A sparrow is a more normal bird than a pigeon.
Anon already explained their reasoning. Learn to read.
Pidgey family doesn't learn Peck or Drill Peck. They are less representative of being a bird than Spearow.
no it's not
By that logic Squirtle should be Water/Normal because it's literally just a turtle. Why is Flying subject to this logic but nothing else?
squirtle stands on two legs and has a squirrel tail also it's bright blue it's NOT just a turtle
for instance Tirtouga being Normal/Water would make sense it only has to be rock because it's a fossil
Reptiles are not normal animals.
birds are reptiles...
They are warm-blooded and take care of their young. Much more relatable to a mammal than a lizard.
they have cloacas and lay eggs they will never be a glorious mammal
Vulpix should be Fire/Normal then
i disagree with the starly line. it's normal typing is a big facet of why its such a scary wallbreaker
Because it's not normal. They're unnatural.
Typing has been an absolute fricking disaster since the very beginning. Considering everyone is saying something akin to "flying is a secondary type", this is how you could forever FIX the type chart:
TYPES
>Natural (Normal)
>Blazing (Fire)
>Electrified (Electric)
>Aquatic (Water, Ice)
>Verdant (Grass, Bug)
>Rugged (Fighting, Rock)
>Cerebral (Psychic, Poison)
>Metallic (Steel)
>Sinister (Dark, Ghost)
ATTRIBUTES (can have 0-3)
>Airborne (Flying, Levitate)
>Grounded (Ground)
>Draconian (Dragon)
Take a leaf out of Palworld's book - sometimes less is more. Shit types like Ice don't have a reason to exist so put them together. Fairy was a mistake and separating those three as attributes also mean Pokémon like Charizard and Flygon can finally actually be flying dragons AND have an element.
And yes, the grouping inspirations come from the TCG - where weaknesses and resistances are decided on an individual basis per Pokémon - which encourages players to actually LEARN ABOUT EVERY SINGLE POKÉMON instead of pressing a button corresponding to which type (and thus weakness) they have.
You stupid frick. The popularity of Pokémon is because the rock-paper-scissors relationship of types is consistent. Per-individual weaknesses like SMT are hated because they are jot intuitive.
Then enjoy your Lando-T meta homosexual.
the popularity of Pokemon is because it's braindead easy like you described
>cerebral (Psychic, Poison)
huh?
Pure type pokemon were a mistake
