What Pokemon type do YOU wanna see?

For Normal types, we also get Blissey and Porygon and its evolutions, so I don't know what really defines a Normal type.

Normal is just normal kind of all-around I guess.

Actually, Psychic does normal damage to Ghost types.

Fixed that. Thanks for pointing that out.

The Pokemon anime teaches kids that evil always loses. Two words: Team Rocket.

Normal type just seems useless IMO. Does anyone want to be Normal? Have plans to be Normal?

Bug type is weird and probably shouldn't exist; Game Freak probably needed 16 types for Gen I and just decided on Bug. That's why we have on odd 17 types now (Dark was added next gen). I use the Bug type with Volcarona because of its weirdness. It hits Psychic and Dark hard and they don't have many weaknesses so it's pretty effective.

Black and White/Best Wishes kind of fixed the Team Rocket problem.

I'd be willing to use normal-types if they were super-effective against something.

I think that's the reason for normal types. To be average and not super effective against anything.

Forgot about Team Rocket not blasting off every episode these days. It's a major improvement. Though if you think about it, Black and White had one of the least successful villainous teams. Team Rocket was much more successful in Red/Blue.

Normal types do have the advantage that they are immune to ghost types and are only weak to fighting. Their STAB attacks also are only resisted by Rock, Steel, and Ghost.
