After 9 generations and 29 years of existence, Pokémon has 18 Types. And among these Types, each player has their favorite, and the Type they like the least. It's difficult to appreciate them all, especially when some benefit from superior strategic advantages. An internet user had Pokémon fans vote, and the result is clear. Two Types stand out, one for its popularity, the other for being the black sheep.
18 Types for Pokémon
In an attempt to renew the formula, Pokémon introduces a new Type from time to time. A strategy that remains difficult to set up for Game Freak, since each new Type will shake up its Type table. While the second generation saw the arrival of the Steel and Dark Types and the sixth the Fairy Type, a Type specific to Teracrystallization, the Stellar Type, was introduced with The Indigo Disk, DLC of the Scarlet and Violet versions.
Beyond a Type, it is appropriate to assign Abilities to it. And that's the complexity of introducing a new Type in Pokémon. The entire strategic balance of the game is shaken up, a part of Pokémon not to be taken lightly. In three decades, players have had time to tame them, to understand them, and above all to appreciate them, or not.
A Favorite Type, a Hated Type
Each player has their preferences, both strategically and visually. And these preferences, NightDaze1999 has tried to see if any particularities stood out. On Reddit, he therefore invited Internet users to vote for their favorite Type, and the one they hate. Although the sample is limited With only nearly 200 voters, it must be said that two Types stand out.
Referring to NightDaze1999's graph, we see that a lot of players hate the Fairy Type. The latest Type in the franchise is extremely strong, since it is effective against Fighting, Dragon, and Dark Types, and above all, immune to the Dragon Type. In addition, it is weak against Steel and Poison Types, which are far from being the most widespread Types.
Another observation, it is the Ghost Type that seems to be the most appreciated, far ahead of the others. An extremely popular Type among Pokémon players, particularly for the original design of its Pokémon and the strategic possibilities it opens up. It would have been It was nice to see more players voting to see if these results were confirmed, or if they were smoothed out more with the numbers.
