Type Families?

[Shoopman]

I don't really know where to post this, but does anyone else associate certain types with each other?

In my head I group they types like this:

Elemental Types: Fire, Ice, Water, Electric

Nature Types: Grass, Poison, Bug

Earth Types: Rock, Ground, Steel

Supernatural Types: Psychic, Ghost, Dark

Realistic Types: Normal, Flying, Fighting

Then Dragon on its own because it doesn't really fit in any of my groups.

Tell me I'm not crazy and other people do this.

I also think of it that way, but this seems like a topic better suited to the Snorlax room..

Yeah, I think of the types that way, but I don't really see enough discussion resulting from this to justify a thread. If you want to discuss this, repost it in The Snorlax Room.

IMO Dragon would be in nature. The type signifies those as a certain subspecies of Pokemon, different from a type like Fire which constitutes only that the Pokemon have an affinity with the element. Within the compass of all fire Pokemon, we see canines, horses, mollusks, reptiles, so on and so forth. All that are dragon belong to a genus like canine or lizard. Even Altaria. If you've not noticed, all dragon Pokemon are reptilian and/or avian and seeing as how feathers are but evolved scales, Pokemon like Altaria fit right in.

Also Dark is "Evil" in Japan, so it would be in your realistic family.
