>ok but i'd rather have this than the copy/paste templates every pokemon would be without them
doesn't this make the game more copy paste if every fucking bug is some early game shitmon, every fire pokemon is a hyperlinear special attacker and every poison pokemon is an affliction warlock
scizor, forretress, shuckle, lokix and volcarona are all cool pokemon with vastly different gameplay niches (that make heavy use of bug moves), why would I want to live in the reality where I only get to use butterfree, beedrill, beautifly, dustox, kricketune and mothim

I think pokemon types should have been reigned in a bit more and have more defined niches, but "only uses high damaging special fire attacks with different drawbacks" is way too fucking narrow, I don't need 20 different typhlosions.

making bug SE against fairy would also not magically change the entire fabric of the video game to where every pokemon uses the same set
