Type Statistics

I have decided to compile the total number of different types of each generation, and then overall. If a Pokemon has two types I counted each type as a half. (e.g. Charmeleon would be 1 fire, Charizard would be 0.5 fire and 0.5 flying). Also, Burmy and Wormadam were just counted as pure bug each, because 0.25 of each Bug/Steel/Grass/Ground would just corrupt the entire system.

Here are my results:

so whats really the point of this? maybe you could send this to japan demanding to see more (insert type here). youve got evidence now
 
That's interesting...

BTW, what was the dragon type in 2nd Gen?
 
Perhaps the fans didn't find the Poison type as awesome-cool as Tajiri thought they would...

Anyway, nice work, OP!
 
What pokemon was the steel type in the first Gen?
IIRC Steel type came out in Johto.

T'was one of the new evolutions, Kingdra. ;230;

You know, the one which was an absolute freakin' pain to get because you had to trade it with a dragon scale? Yeah, that one.

Both Magnemite and Magneton were altered to be half-steel, and two halves add up to 1.

Oh yeah. Thanks for that.

EDIT: Rank up! YAY!
 
So this is what Pokefreaks do in their spare time.

I just did it for anyone's interest....I personally found it interesting that poison was the 2nd most proniment type is Generation one but then hardly there in generation 2/3/4.

In Generation 1 all the grass types were part poisen. Now I think next to none are.
 
This just proves it - Poison needs at least ONE more strength over another type. Probably dark, just to even out it's 700+ weaknesses (it feels like that, when compared to it's grand total of 1 strength, currently).
 
Nicely done. You clearly have a lot of time on your hands, but in a good way.

We need more Ghost types. At least give us a Ghost/Fire Pokémon.
 
in generation 1, ice should be more than 2.5. there's shellder, cloyster, seel, dewgong, lapras, jynx, and articuno. that should be 3.5.

EDIT: whoops, I forgot seel and shellder were pure water.
