Beedrill has wings and it can fly. But, its type is Bug/Poison and it doesn't have Levitate.
Venomoth: Same as beedrill
Mawile looks like normal more than steel

Gible isn't a water type. Period. I mean look at Garchomp, I don't think its a water type when I see it. IMO it has dragon written all over it.

On the other hand...
Sudowoodo = Rock type = what the heck? everyone can see it is a grass type, its a TREE for pete's sake

Palkia looks like Dragon/Psychic IMO, what about it suggests "water"?

And I always though Groudon was fire/ground.

Sudowoodo's pokedex entry: Despite appearing to be a tree, its body is closer to rocks and stones. It is very weak to water.t stands along paths pretending to be a tree. If it starts raining, it seems to disappear.

Sudowoodo doesn't like water. That's why we can awake him with SquirtBottle in G/S/C

Yeah, Gible is the LAND Shark pokemon. So seriously, its not a water type, dont judge it by its blue color. But if Sudowoodo is pretending to be a tree, then what the heck IS it?!

Why doesn't Charizard have the right to be a dragon, and Dragonite does. I mean look at Charizard! Claws, sharp teeth, dragon wings, tail, FIRE-BREATHING - he's got every characteristic of a dragon!

I always think of Groudon as a Fire/Ground Type.

It's a creature in an imaginary world that messes with all laws of biology (the world does, that is). Every heard of those fish that look like rocks from above? They evolved like that so when some unsuspecting prey stepped on it they could immediately poison it. Same with Sudowoodo - disguising itself as a tree probably helps it catch prey.

I never knew why Jynx was Ice/Psychic. I mean where is that Ice in her? I think she should've just been a normal old Psychic or Psychic/Dark really.

Flygon has pretty much the opposite type combo to what we'd expect. I'd expect him to be Bug/Flying, but he's Dragon/Ground. That's almost like Butterfree being Dragon/Ground.

And shouldn't Volbeat and Illumise be Bug/Electic?

And Jynx couldn't be Psychic/Dark because Dark didn't exists in RBY (That's probably why Gengar isn't Dark-type).

And while we're talking about Gengar, why is it Poison-type?

Gible doesn't look like it should be a water type at all.... I do think that exeggcute shouldn't have been a grass type, but a normal type. Ninetales should have been a part psychic type, and probably the weirdest one I've seen was rotom. A ghost/electric? Thats pretty interesting.

I think Rotom was invented before the idea of sticking it in a television, though.

I think it's a cool combination, and Rotom fits it nicely.

I'm waiting for a Fire/Grass Pokemon. BEFORE YOU DISMISS IT... just think. Sunny day would have a beneficial effect for something like chlorophyl. It would also be able to use sunny day for solar beam AND fire attacks! all the benefits outside a double battle! now... should it be a hot pepper or a flaming tree...
