Other than that, gender hardly plays a role in battles since it is somewhat up to chance for infatuation to work and mostly now just only important for breedin'.
Anyone have a favorite type of Pokemon for any reason?

Fighting, Psyic, Steel, Ghost, Grass, and Dragon.
Most of my favorite pokemon desige wise have one of these types.

None at all, the only thing I identify types as is what tells if a pokémon is weak/strong/more resistant to another type.

I tend to really like dragon because that element is only weak to two other elements: Ice and Steel.
Although, "dragon beats dragon" really annoys me sometimes.
I have absolutely NO idea why Bug beats Psychic, but whatever.
I don't like water. Maybe because I think water does not have many strong moves.

Know what move that is really OP?
Earthquake.
I hate that move with a passion. It normally almost always kills in one hit. If only it's PP was limited to 3 or maybe 5 hits, it would be fine.

Dragon's not weak to Dark.

Ya do realize that the ONLY type that Dragon moves do super effective damage is Dragon, right? How does that annoy ya?

Surf, Hydro Pump, Waterfall, Scald, Aqua Tail... need some more? Not to mention that Surf is EVERYWHERE.

Get somethin' with Flyin' type or Levitate, easy as that. Heck, a good physical wall would do the trick too.

Now onto answerin' my own question on types...
I like Water, Steel, and Electric types.
I don't like Bug, Fire, and Poison.

Water's coverage is great and I liked them ever since Gen I. I slowly grew to like Electric types since most of their Special Attack and Speed are pretty good on average. Steel is just awesome in defense. However Ground attacks are somewhat bothersome since it wreaks Steel and Electric types.

I really don't like Fire types with their "glass cannon" role as they are way too fragile for my tastes. MOST Bug Pokemon are horridly weak but there are some of those cool Bug types around. Poison's weakness to Ground and its terrible coverage just bothers me.

Since when is Dragon weak to Dark?

Psychic types represent humans, who are generally afraid of bugs, ghosts and dark/scary things.
I don't like water. Maybe because I think water does not have many strong moves.
Surf. Scald. Hydro Pump. Those are just a few of the good water type moves

EQ is 100 base power with 16 BP on PO, it's not that bad. It's also Ground typed, so it's easy to switch into a Flying type or levitating pokemon on the EQ predict. Sheesh, it's not even that common of a move anymore

And to answer that favorite pokemon type question: I'm fond of Fighting, Dark, Ghosts and Steel types, and despise Grass, Ground, Psychic and Fire types.

I tend to lean towards psychic, water, and poison types, yet ironically don't care much for ice or dragon types

Dragon is not weak to steel, it just does not do a lot of damage to it.
And just because, my 5 least favorite types are Ice (horrible defense and I rarely come a cross a team that ice wrecks) Bug, (with the execption of a few bug is just bad all around) Posion (only reason why poison type existis is to poison things nuf' said) Rock (same reason as Ice but we have ground, IT ALMOST THE SAME THING) and Dark (weak to fighting terrible attacking moves that rely on the opponets team makeing it very situational, and up untill gen 4 dark pokmon had high attack but dark moves were a specal move, and up untill gen 5 they had barly any resistances.

Glaceon and Wash Rotom has a decent amount of Defense
Bug, (with the execption of a few bug is just bad all around)
Ya might be right on that.
Posion (only reason why poison type existis is to poison things nuf' said)
Not all Poison-type moves have to poison the opponent. Acid Armor is a common, defence strengthening, support move for defensive Pokemon, like Vaporeon and Clear Smog works like Haze, eliminating all stat changes.
Rock (same reason as Ice but we have ground, IT ALMOST THE SAME THING)
Rock-type Pokemon aren't exactly the same as Ground-type Pokemon, aside from their similar defensive stats. Ground-types cannot beat Flying-types. Rock-types can...very easily. Some Rock-type Pokemon are well-known to be defensive. Gigalith is pretty good at staying alive in some battles and Shuckle is widely used for saboteur-based strategies. The only thing bad about Rock-type Pokemon some of them have another type that weakens them down further (ex. Golem, Steelix, Magcargo, Tyranitar).
and Dark (weak to fighting terrible attacking moves that rely on the opponets team makeing it very situational, and up untill gen 4 dark pokmon had high attack but dark moves were a specal move, and up untill gen 5 they had barly any resistances.
Most Dark-types were made for saboteur strategies, like Umbreon. Some Dark-types, like Absol and Hyderigon, were made for fighting. The majority of Dark-type moves were physical, not special. Until Gen 5, which introduced Night Daze and Snarl, The only special Dark-type move was Dark Pulse.

I don't really prefer specific types since I'm not much into actual battling. I usually just shuffle through what I have, or can find, research, and develop a strategy around it.

From gen 1 to 3 all moves were ether physical or spechal based on the type of move it was (I.e all fire moves were specal all fighting moves were physical) Untill gen 3 all Dark type movers were classifyed as special, my thoughts on dark types is that in general the type got better over the years

A bit bumpish, but here's 2 more battles I had with Sean. Difference this time is that I've helped him to construct a new team. Fun thin' is that Sean's team is mono gen. I've got a lot of other replays, but they were all slaughters and not really worth a watch.

Game 1
Game 2

Double post, I've got lots of other replays with Sean and Proto. I've slaughtered Proto countless times and Sean has decent games with me. Anyone want to see'em?

Me and Smunch frequent the Pokemon Online server every now and then. We usually stay for the Mafia Games but we do battle. Mostly NU and UU (5th gen). I go on as "Saltopus". Yeah I know... but he's one of my favorite comic book characters, plus most of the comic book names are taken :P
