Iiiiinteresting. :O While my number one favorite type is Grass, I like to use all kinds of different types... maybe mostly Fighting because I have the most luck with them and love their battling style. My favorite Pokemon is Electrode, but Electric is probably only third on my list of favorite types. Electrode is probably the Pokemon I use the most, though. I have a whole bunch of 'em at level 100.

Intresting, The only game I have ever used dark pokemon in is XD, and a Manectric for contests in Emerald.
 
I love normal ltypes, and always have one on my team (that isn't also flying~)

It tends to be castform because it's so rad, but if not, I like to use Clefable, Snubble or Girafarig~


I always have water types on my team, and I try and have a fire type, because you'd think they were essential, but I tend to do better without~

I use Psychic types the most, but I use fire types and dark types as well. The pokemon I use most often are Espeon and Typhlosion.

My favourite types are Ghost, Dark and Psychic. No, not because oh em gee some people call them gawfick. I like the mystery to them. *eye roll*

The Pokemon I usually use are Sneasel... obviously... Persian, Misdreavus, Cradily, Gyarados, Haunter, Manectric, Ivysaur, Starmie, Scizor, Latias, Zapdos, Flareon, Dragonair and Seadra, with the Pokemon from Sneasel to Gyarados being in my top 6 Pokemon along with Rentoraa. So there is a variety but my top three types are used.
 

-Dragon-

Furret rocks
I'm a Dragon user, but my favourite Pokemon is Furret, nd I always use that to some degree.
 
My favourite type is ice and bug. Usually I use Lapras and Ninetales. Ninetales is my favourite pokemon too. I have different-types pokemon in my team. I try to use water, grass, fire, electric, psychic and ice. Sometimes ground and bug. I love bugs because they are very cute, but usually they are weak and aren't helpful.
I don't use normal-type pokemon. I know, they are ok (look at Snorlax) but I don't like their style of battle.
 
My favourite type is Water, And I'm pretty good with them, but, you can't have them all Water! Or else you're going to get your *** kicked like Wallace did!

Eevee evos, Wobbuffet, Water Starters are usaually my most used, But I can be seen with Ghost types, common First Route Evos, And most other types (If I need some certain type moves and specialists)as well.

What you won't be catching me with are Legendaries.

The Normal debate, hmm, Can't attack Ghosts but can't be attacked by Ghosts as well, A well trained Normal will be a very formidable foe againest all types (Except Fighting for an Obvious reason).

With only one major weakness, and with some ablity to learn other moves as well, you could end up with a major battler on your side.

I never concentrate on training one type in particular, as a balanced squad with a wide variety of types is usually more effective. But Flying is the type I train most of all, since they're all very varied thanks to their dual-types and serve lots of purposes both in and out of battle. My actual favourite type is Ice, but ironically, the only Ice-types I have ever trained are Articuno and Piloswine.

My favourite pokémon types are Fighting, Psychic and Ghost. Fighting and Psychic types are pretty easy to get one's hands on, and a few of my favourite pokémon are comfortably slotted into both criterea. Ghost type pokémon are the only ones I ever have problems getting around to, because the majority of them are often obtainable late into the game. And by the time I do get around to capturing them, I've usually got a team on hand that I find works well and I wouldn't want to disrupt that perfect balance. The only Ghost pokémon I've ever bothered to level up all the way to the big one double zero is Misdreavus back in GS, and that was only because I had time to burn.

I don't really have any pokémon that I'll use in every game, as I'm usually all about experimenting with the new. I do have favourites, but I prefer experiencing something new~ But since buying Sapphire, I always make it a priority to have a Combusken on my team, for obvious reasons. I'm planning on using the Global Trade Centre in DP as soon as possible so I can actually play through the game with one on my squad of six.

In colluseumn you can get a Misdrevus very early in the game.

My fave type is ghost, but unfortuantely I haven't had much luck with using them in my team :(

So I tend to use fighting and dragon types for some reason.

My favorite type is Bug, but unfortunately, I haven't mustered up the courage to actually make a Bug team exclusively.
