I've noticed that too, there have been a lot of these threads recently. I'm not complaining, its just a little odd. I would'nt imagine you'd find many pokemon fans on the escapist. maybe I'm wrong.Lonely Packager said:
OT: Well, I really don't like poision types. They have one strength and two weaknesses, and are pretty much useless. The only poison type in Uber is Arceus-Poison for a reason. I don't think poison pokemon should exist- the type can stay, but there shouldn't be exclusively poision type pokemon.
As for my favourite type, well, that's tricky. I really like Electric and Water types but I'd have to say Dark. Gen 5 introduced two awesome Dark types- Zoroark and Hydregion. Best bit is that Zoroark is UU, which people never expect, so you can disguise it as a fighting type to lure in a Psychic type, then get STAB super effective hits on it.
Favourite: Bugs look the coolest, but alot have terrible attacks and weaknesses (gotta love Scizor with X Scissors and Swords Dance though). I find that Fire are the most effective though. Steel is awesome as well.
Least Favourite: Normal or Ice, normal is just extremely bland and there isn't enough amazing Ice types.

Best= Water
Worst= bug
No one thinks bug is the best if they do they are playing the whole thing WRONG.

This was the topic of my very first thread!Sean Hollyman said:
My favourites are bug and ground, because they tend to have my favourite pokemon such as Yanmega, Scolipede, pinsir and so on. Basically all the brutal bugs. Bugs are just fun for me. They have a cool image.
My least favourite is definetely dark. Uggggh. I don't like using them because they feel awfully plain, and I dislike their demeanor. I love more quirky dark types though, that don't particularly seem dark. Like scraggy or scrafty. They're just grumpy lil' thugs. Ironically, one of my favourite pokemon.
I tend to get the most mileage out of water types so I will go with that even though I use many different types so I will go with that as a favorite.
As for least favorite I would have to say poison because I almost never use them and the only poison type I really liked was Seviper.

I don't really have a least favorite per-say, in just about all the types I can find one that I like and enjoy. Also I like to think that any type can be handy in battle, just need to have the right strategy. But if I had to pick a type I like least... Ice. As much as I like some pokemon that come from there I still can't help but feel that the type's moves could easily be covered by water pokemon and while you do lose the STAB, you don't have to worry as much about weaknesses.
For my favorite it is(What else?) grass. While it certainly doesn't have as nice defensive capabilities as other types and it certainly isn't the best offensive... I still love it. I especially love using the status inducing effects available to it as well as it's good support abilities. It's kinda the... Cleric or White Mage so to speak.

favourite type definitely fire with honourable mentions going to electric
least favourite - grass. horribly weak pokemon type in my opinion

Hands down, Fire is my favorite because it not a very common type and many Fire-types are awesome.
I have to say that Water is my least favorite solely because there are just way too many Water-types in the Pokedex and it makes up most of the roster for each Gen.

Favourite would probably be Water because it's pretty versatile.
Least favourite would be Dark, I just can't see the point.

Love Psychic and Flying types, Espeon and Swellow are two of my favourite Pokemon. Dark types, particularly Umbreon, also have a special place in my heart. But I'm not a big fan of Normal types in general, due to their limited battle effectiveness, and I won't use a Grass type in my party when there are other, more useful types, around.
At least in Gen I and II, Ghost Pokemon are utterly useless to me. The anime specifically has Ash aquire a Haunter in order to defeat Sabrina after her psychic moves kerbstomp him.
Ingame? Psychic types are super-effective against Ghosts. Psychic moves/Pokemon are a must have in my team, so I'll bumrush for a Butterfree asap.

My favorite types would probably be Electric, Psychic, Normal, and Water.
Least favorite would probably be Steel. Not saying it's bad, but I just never really found much of a use for Pokemon of that type. Besides Dialga, who was also a Dragon type.
