Description
I find it curious that people complain that Fairy type being only weak to steel and poison somehow makes them 'broken'.Of course, there are other Pokemon with 2 weaknesses, and some even less.
And in Gen 1? Psychic pretty much had nothing but Ghost that didn't work correctly, and bug type moves? The best you could get is Twineedle, which was on a Beedrill, which is weak to Psychic, which made Psychic type broken as fuck.

Electric is only weak to Ground, but I don't see anybody complaining about the Electric-type. I don't get it either.

Agreed. Not to mention Ghost has 2 immunities yet people while about fairies being immune to dragons.

Or like when no one complained about the Dark and Steel types when they first appeared in Gen II. It's pretty sad how almost nobody realizes how ludicrously overpowered Psychic-types were in the first generation.

Indeed. Anyone playing the original gen 1 knew that psychic was the best type to use.
It's also sad that fighting is pretty powerful today, yet back then, it was actually not very good.

It also didn't help that Fighting was on the worst types of Gen 1. Because Rock types are tanks and Ice types are rare, a Fighting type's only 2 main purposes wereΒ HM Slavery and Giovanni's Kangaskhan.

Agreed, not to mention most fighting types barely had any STAB moves that were good aside from Submission, which hurt you for using it, or using Hitmonlee, which has the defense of wet tissue paper and had big accuracy issues.

Well, that is something they fixed...

Indeed it is.

So it isn't really hypocrisy to only bring up the problem that still exists.

Well psychic type was fixed...
Yet seeing how broken it was in Gen 1, people don't bat an eye at, despite the fact that NOTHING resisted it and it was only weak to bug, which had very laughable attack.
It was supposed to be weak to ghosts, but ghost type moves didn't work on them, and the only ghost type move with STAB anyway was the horribly weak Lick.

Yeah, so? People don't bat an eye any more because it was fixed.

What would Bug? Isn't Bug effective against Psychic?

True, but in Gen 1, bug moves were very, very laughable and barely did any damage even to psychic. The best you got was Leech Life, Pin Missile, and Twineedle.

True. Though to be fair, I've beaten the Kanto elite four with two bugs on my team, Scyther and Parasect.

Lol. Yes.
...Sadly, it was the last and only time Parasect was useful for me, since other Spore users outclass it.

The other members of my team were Primeape, Arbok, Blastoise, and Ponyta.

Ah, I see.

to be fair, psychic type being broken in gen 1 was a legitimate glitch, it wasnt supposed to be that way

Lick would still have been the only STAB Ghost move.

and night shade

Night Shade always does fixed damage based on the user's level.
Which is why the Pokemon Tower is hell.
