Talk:Type chart

unique

so, what type variations HAVENT been done?

Why are Generation I and Generation II type chart separate. Can I combined the two charts into this article? - Clarky13

He means place the two charts in the article, not combine them. Θρtιmαtum♏_Talk|Links 13:29, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, so instead of three different articles, we make one. - Clarky13

I was just coming to suggest putting each on their own page, for easier printing. HyperHacker 03:04, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Dragon attacks not very effective against Fire in Generation I?

In the chart, it lists Dragon attacks as being not very effective against Fire Pokémon in Generation I. Has this actually been tested with an "artificial" Dragon-type move in a Generation I game? Thanks. Ultraflame 05:31, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Dual-Type Mechanics in Generation I

IIRC, in Generation I, dual-type Pokémon's type mechanics worked differently. If you were a dual-type hit by a move that one of your types was weak against and the other resistant to, instead of balancing out like they did in later generations, they want by just your type-two stat. For example, a Zubat getting hit by Leech Life would take x2 damage because Poison is his second type, and a Bellsprout getting hit by Poison Sting would take 1/2x damage for the same reason. However, this is from pretty far back in my memory. Can anyone confirm? Schreiber 13:49, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that it worked just like it does in current games (barring the changes to the type chart, that is). The difference was that it displayed "It's super-effective!/It's not very effective..." based on one of the two types, rather than both.--Purimpopoie 13:54, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

It is different in Gen I. At least in Red/Blue. My Venusaur's Razor Leaf was always ineffective against Gyarados. - unsigned comment from CitruX (talk • contribs)

No, that's only what the game says. The actual effectiveness was still calculated in the same way. In Generation I it may say that Zubat's Leech Life on another Aubat is "Super effective", but in reality Zubat's Poison and Flying types did cancel each other out.
