Do you have any thoughts/rantings on the fact that Gamefreak are intent on favouring certain type combinations? It was only recently that I realised that Bug/Steel has been reincarnated 5 or so times, and it really got on my nerves for some reason. I mean, I understand that Normal/Flying or Grass/Poison often go hand-in-hand, but it makes me feel like there’s a huge area of untapped potential that is always overlooked. What is your opinion?

Y’know, I can totally give you a reading list for that.

The first one is probably the most relevant but they should all give you a pretty good idea of my general thoughts.

In brief: yes.  Oh, dear gods, yes.
