If you've ever wondered those questions, then this video is for you!
Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out! - เกม
Dragon and Fairy are all thats left! And to celebrate, Next month we're having a whole special month!
DRAGON MONTH!
An entire month of dragon-type themed videos! (and SwSh news, maybe some E3 stuff)
and after that, we'll have:
FAIRY MONTH!
An entire month of fairy type themed videos! (and SwSh news)
If these go well, we may start having special months more often. Hope to see you there!
Yay saving my favorite typing for last
I swear you forgot snubbull and grab bull or is it just me. I mean I know why it’s normal because it’s a bulldog
Every glitch, shadow, and ??? type pokemon explained.
@@8bitpug29 snubbul and granbull is fairy type
By the way, you meant Dual with an A, right? You know, AAAAAAAA?
Maybe Drampa is normal because it plays with kids/has been domesticated and integrated into urban environments
That thing goes into bullies houses and burns it to the ground. That’s not normal.
I always think of Drampa as Falkor from The Neverending story
But Drampa live in the mountains. It's not domesticated or integrated into urban environments.
Maybe drampa is normal because kids love dragons tell me of a kid that wanted a dinosaur or a dragon because they tough it was cool/awesome and wished for one to obliterate a bully xD maybe is because of that everyone when they where kids wanted a dragon so its normal maybe that's why drampa is normal xD
i think drampa is based on hermits, people that live in the mountains and are said to live a lot of years, even centuries and be old as dragons. but thats just me...
Normal type feels more like, “non-specific type”.
I've thought "Normal" is their miscellaneous type, what they use when they haven't made a type for a poke'mon, or can't match a poke'mon to an existing type.
Yeah and Monroe there is a typeless name going on in the canon of pokemon
No One Sarino, Huh... neat!
Or sound
@@ericolens3 i get normal flying the LEAST because before gen 8 all birds were normal/flying types and the only pure flying type was tornadus
"And it looks like an odd hodgepodge of creature parts, Poor thing."
Gen 8 fossil pokemon:"Allow us to introduce ourselves."
Allow us to scream in agony
Ace mcwolf Ha ha ha
Upside down fish screams in agony
To me, Drampa works as a "Normal" Pokemon, because he's like a dragon, just super suuuuuper chilled-out. Like, in a "You visit your grandparents and just kind of listen to them for four hours" kind of way. A little bit boring, like you said, but it's exactly what you expect from your grandparents. It's just... normal.
Same with Drampa. When Drampa just plops down on the patio and starts repeating its name for hours on end to tell you an epic tale from its youth unprompted, you just kind of expect it and nod along. You wouldn't expect a Druddigon or a Haxorus to spend an afternoon volunteering at a foodbank, though it would be a pleasant surprise. But Drampa? It's normal.

@@N3v3Off good answer
@@N3v3Off i said what's the most normal thing ever cuz that's what i thought michael would say after what you said
We all are Normal, right? Or is it????
Honestly, it's always perplexed me why Hoothoot and Noctowl are Flying/Normal instead of Flying/Psychic considering how many Psychic moves they can learn.
Same with golduck and psyduck not having the psychic type. I guess maybe it’s because starmie was already a water/psychic in gen 1? Although that’s still a dumb reason.
Probably because there were already three other psychic/flying types in generation 2 and having five would be overkill
I thought literally until the other day they were flying dark 🤦♀️
Balance. Gotta make fighting types somewhat threatening still.
@@renranger2135gen 1 with over 5 Grass/Poison types
They're birds, birds can fly
"Penguin at the background"
Tropius slides by
penguins can fly! just need a trebuchet or a cannon.
Ostrich: (puts wind on penguins shoulder) I feel ya
Well they used to in the dinosaur times... now they’re ice swimmers birds.
ACTUALLY
Penguins describe, in English, two family of birds that are completely different, one in the north pole and one in the south pole. The penguins as we think of them are closer to the south pole, but north pole penguins are totally able to fly, and are more like seagulls. In french, we call those "pingouins" and those in the south are "manchot", but you English people somehow use the same name for completely different animals.
Idiot.
"This dragon has a dragon body because it's a dragon"
I thought it was spaghetti but okay.
It also burns down the houses of those who bully his kid friends.
@@DerangedAvenger So is Drampa the Pokemon incarnate of Valkor?
*team rocket steals tangela while trainer is away

I think the best defining characteristic of the Normal type isn't "oh it's a normal creature", but instead looks more into how they prefer to fight. Think of it this way: When you ask, "What's the best way to damage an opponent?" how would Pokémon of various types respond?
A Fire type might say, "Use heat or fire."
A Fighting type might say, "Deliver a practiced blow."
A Dark type might say, "Do whatever it takes, and don't worry about being vicious."
And a Normal type might say, "Just hit 'em hard."
To me, that encapsulates the Normal type pretty well. Normal isn't exactly a lack of anything else; it's more a preference for simplicity.
As for why Normal is a stand-in for "Sound", I think it's closely related to the way physical and special moves are divided. Physical moves almost always strike the target with something solid; special moves use some form of fluid or energy instead. So, what's a simple (i.e. Normal-type) way to attack using fluid or energy? Well, sound waves use both! A third of all special Normal-type moves are sound-based.
Ooooh that makes a lot of sense. It puts into perspective more why normal type moves are just basic attacks, like scratch and tackle. Even the extra powerful moves make sense. Giga impact is just an ultra powerful tackle/body slam.
And then Hyper Beam is just a beam of pure energy
Bruno P. Hyper Beam you mean. But yeah that makes sense. It’s just a powerful energy beam, it doesn’t really relate to any other type
Ardub23
That’s Genius! and makes a lot of sense.🧐

And this right here is an aspin. I can tell that it's an aspin because of the way it is.

Hmm
Yes

*cracks fingers* MY TIME TO SHINE Computer engineer here.
1. Not all computers/code are electrical. There are fully mechanical computers.
2. Not helping but sometimes 1 is a high voltage and 0 is a low voltage but not zero.
3. Programs themselves are made out of words and commands. Words translate to normal.
4. If I have to write my programs for programming tests by hand with paper and pencil then I don’t see why it should get special electrical treatment. Yes I’m slightly salty but I love my major so I don’t care to much.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
You are a genius. I wish I could give you more than one like.
To add, Porygon is more of pure data (as math-like, more abstract term), therefore there isn't anything electric about it directly - at least not more than data saved on DVD disc.
Nerd but I can respect it
This is what bothered me the most about the video. Thanks for the informed correction.
I think there's also for 0/1 for [no light] / [yes light] for optic fiber, but I guess that's the signal itself, which the program reacts to, but idk.
Whenever I've looked at Skitty and Delcatty, I've imagined those ball-ended things as sewing pins and that elderly ladies who love sewing would have a few of the Pokémon around.
Okay but are the pins growing out of the body? Are they bone or modified claws? Or are they just stuck into the fur/flesh.

I would really like to see what you could come up with for why Eevee has unstable DNA.
I think they said something about it in the Pokémon Adventures manga, but I haven't read it in a while...although that could have just been because of the experiments Team Rocket was running on that particular Eevee >.>
I thought it was due to how Eevee is able to adapt. It’s DNA shifts and changes to allow it to survive in almost any environment. It’s logical in an animal evolution way.
@@AndyStarzs1 True but I was wondering more so why it has more unstable DNA than any other Pokémon and why it's so adaptable in the first place.
I think Eevee is simply an extreme example of how some animals are far more adaptable than others. For example the racoon is a real world "Eevee" because they can adapt to many environments. Rocky beaches, dense forest, city streets, you name it they'll claim it. Eevee just takes that to the literal sense in that it physically changes itself to perfectly suit wherever it lives.
Just watch matpat's video on it on game theory
I noticed that most Normal pokemon would be considered Mammals in our world. Maybe that's what normal means, Humans would be Normal type
There are more than just mammals who are normal type. Like Kecleon.
Humans would be normal until they have psychic powers or are fighting types, they can go into a specialization of their attacks in this essay I will talk about how humans are Pokémo-
Would a boxer be a fighting type
Humans are typeless. Pokemon can become typeless too.
Would a swimmer be water type? Would a gardener be grass type? Would a electrician be electric type? Would some with poison be poison type? Would someone with a flamethrower to fire type? Would a fighter be fighting type? Would a sky driver be flying type? Would a miner be ground type? Would a psychic be psychic type? Would a evil person be dark (evil in Japanese) type? Humans are weird.
It's a shame that in recent generations, there appears to have been a shift towards every Pokémon having some special properties by decree, leaving the Normal type as the "Bland type". Normal used to be an OP typing in gen I. It was one of the few physical types that had pretty much nothing to fear when going up against Psychic types, and as such, were your go-to Psychic type counters. As far as Ghosts are concerned, only Gengar exists to stop you, and Rock types Golem and Rhydon. Outside of that, everything took neutral damage from you. Most Normals in gen I had the coverage to demolish those three regardless. Getting STAB on the OP gen I Hyper Beam? Excellent. Unable to be paralyzed by opposing Body Slams? Icing on the cake.
and before anyone mentions the fighting type:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA you think fighting is good in gen 1? even outside of being bodied by psychic, Fighting's best move in gen 1 is the 80BP/80Acc Submission
@@gypsysprite4824 gen 1 fighting and ghost basically didn't exist lol
@@Pihsrosnec Atleast gen 1 gengar has a decent niche, being a fast, normal-immune, sleep user. nowhere close to top tier, but more than certainly usable
@@gypsysprite4824 fair point, I just always forget gengar is a pokemon people can actually get
@@gypsysprite4824 You say that but every normal type in Gen-1 gets utterly slammed by basically any fighting type of Gen-1.
Oranguru probably holds a hint as to why Drampa has the normal typing. It's a bit closer to home, more relatable and grounded, not so hyper specialized. Pure dragon types are fierce. Drampa is almost like a pet.
If Arceus was all types at once it's only weakness would be rock. Meaning even god can't avoid getting bodied by stealth rock.
Jesus was weak against rocks.

I actually have a huge soft spot for Normal type Pokemon just because something about little monsters resembling simplified real animals appeals to me specifically. This video also helped me realize why the idea of a Sound type never sat well with me: it'd interfere with too many Normal type Pokemon and maybe even render the whole type obsolete.
You know what? That’s hella relatable.

Yeah, western, but not eastern
@@rizqp9398 and Unova is New York. It's not the first time that gamefreak took inspiration from the West.
nightmare27and_friends Ok but it’s still not the case here
Rizq P I mean they take inspiration from all over the world to make their Pokémon, it doesn't matter if they live in the East, they've used Western inspiration before.
I always mistook hoothoot as psychic type
I always felt like the normal type was the “this Pokémon is hard to fit in any other category so we put it here” type.
As of SwSh, GF has finally realized that a regular bird can be plain Flying and doesn't have to be part Normal. However, design-wise I don't see anything in Rookidee or Corvisquire that makes them appear any less normal than, say, Staravia.
If we assume that most regular bird Pokemon that are Normal/Flying should just be pure Flying, are there any that are especially plain and absolutely should be part Normal, similar to how Bibarel is a bit too normal to be a pure Water-type?
I mean, Doduo and Dodrio are flightless birds, so they are less "Flying" than the others. They can stay Normal/Flying.
Chatot can keep its Normal type too so it gets STAB on all those sound-based moves (I assume that's why Meloetta and Wigglytuff are part Normal as well). The rest should be pure Flying.
The Rookidee line has a knighthood theming in their design, which justifies the steel typing.
The first two birds in the evolutionary line probably are pure flying for purely balancing reasons.
The other regional birds have no such theming though, as they're mostly based on common species of birds, Nocktowl included.

Great video. Althoug I was expecting some categories like:
"Pokemon that are normal type because they´re extremely common in many parts of the world" (like rats, birds, horses, cows, rabbits, cats and dogs)"
"Pokemon that are normal type because of the things they do are extremely common" . Like eating, sleeping, having rivalries (zangoose), dancing and singing (meloetta and jigglypuff line), being unable to swim (azurril), digging (diggersby). cleaning (cinccino), being a mother (kanghaskan), being a grandfather (drampa), nursing people (chansey´s line), having safety measures (like watchog and sentret that is a scout).
"Pokemon that are normal type because they´re based on things commonly used by humans". Like toys, costumes, things to sleep well, solar panels (stufful, bewear, skitty, delcatty, helioptile, minccino, etc).
"Pokemon that are normal type because they represent something related to one of the five senses". Like watchog and sentret again (good sight), audino (good hearing), Exploud (loud noises), aipom and ambipom (tact), Lickitung and Lickylicky (taste), etc.
"Pokemon that are normal type because they represent something commonly accepted by humans as a truth or things that are related to the world itself". Like weather (castform), metamorphosis (ditto), evolution (eevee), gods/religion (arceus), terraformation/movement of the continents (regigigas), year seasons (deerling line), aging (slakoth line,) day and nigh cicle (drampa again), technological advancements (porygon line), etc.
If you look well, basically all normal type pokemon fit in one or more of these four categories.

The members of the Porygon evolution tree do not have to be Electric type, because they are made from code and not from electricity per se. Electricity is merely a possible medium of code. Maybe his physical form is plastic with the code written in it as if in a CD. Electricity is a good medium for code hence why they learn a lot of Electric type moves but it is not the only medium hence why they are Normal type, since Normal type is also the multi-type type (e.g. like in Tri Attack or Hidden Power).
Also their signature moves convert their type apparently by changing their textures so their Normal type textures are their default textures.
Dr. λ the Checker of Types
bonus: when you have a picture on your screen, you see the picture. Not the code, not the electricity. Yes that picture of of a sphere is made up out of code and displayed via electricity but you see it as a NORMAL sphere you’re not defining that virtual sphere based off of how it’s being displayed to you.
Normal seems like it means ordinary.
Things that you would see in a town or village and don't think anything about that.

Honestly, with Helioptile and Heliolisk's powers coming from the sun, shouldn't they be Electric/Fire instead of Normal? They can learn a decent amount of fire movesl, and most Pokemon connected with the sun (aside from Solgaleo, I guess) have Fire somewhere.
It might be due to it getting its power from the sun that it's normal. It's not some mythical creature that can just cast lightning, it has to actually get it from somewhere.
>Pronouncing Pidove as 'pie-dove'
thanks, I hate it
I love that he loved this comment just to spite you
Not to mention the way he pronounce Okapi... Er-- "Ocuhpi" as he calls it.
This comment kinda blew up, lol
(channel's great tho, keep up the good work lockstin)
(but like do you pronounce pigeon as pie-jun?)
Imagine Pokemon birds based on painters: Pigeotto, Dovinci, Cadovageon
@@acidwizzardbastard Piedove is a good pronunciation
"And Spinda is just drunk" I probably laughed at that joke a bit more than I should of.
Well, they had to change it to "dizzy" so they won't get in trouble for referencing alcohol.
Now the Legends: Arceus is out, it should be noted that Arceus has a new form with the Legend Plate where it changes type when it uses Judgement to a type most supereffective against its target’s typing (and most resistant to its target’s typing in the case of a tie). I think this is probably the most balanced way of implementing Arceus having every type. It only has one type at a time, it only changes type when it uses Judgement (so speedy Fighting moves can still get a supereffective hit on it, for example), and it doesn’t change types in response to a foe’s move. It also doesn’t let you choose which type it changes to; it only changes type to a specific type based on the foe’s typing (like to Ice against a Ground/Flying-type, Ghost against a Psychic/Fighting-type, or Flying or Fire (randomly) against a Bug/Grass-type).
In a sense, it’s kinda like its ability is a combination of the abilities Protean (which, when attacking, changes the user’s type to match the type of the move it’s about to use (if it deals damage)) and Multitype (Arceus’s usual ability) as well as a weird, sorta-inverted combination of the moves Reflect Type/Conversion (Gen I) (which changes the user’s type(s) to match the target’s) and Conversion 2 (which changes the user’s type to one that is most resistant against the type of the move last used against it).
6:24 oh nice round bee
Its a flat snake
Noctowl shouldn’t be normal it should be psychic along with flying
balancing reasons back in the day
Well we had Natu and Xatu in the same generation
To me Normal is a very “you know it when you see it” type, so it’s very fun watching you try and figure out why I know it when I see it
6:19 Its a puma, its a puma, its a puma XD
Normal type is the Suburban Karen of the Pokemon series

I genuinely thought that drampa was a dunsparce evolution when i first saw it
That's almost literally how I first referred to him XD
"oh, and gen 7 has that weird looking snake thing"
- huh?
"you know, that Dunsparce evolution"
- Ooooooooooh. Wait. Isn't that just a pokemon on its own?
"idk"
It baffles me how people actually thought this. They are nothing alike aside from their sort of scaly appearance
Dunsparce could use the evo
We all did pal
Shoulda been a dunsparce evo just like alomomola shoulda been a luvdisc evo
"could you imagine if in game Arceus was all types at once" locksitin predicted the way judgement works in legends confirmed?
I really like normal types actually lmao. To me it was always 'non-elemental powers' rather than 'being bland' which is why sound stuff is usually normal. It doesn't take an elemental master to yell real loud, yeah? Just scream into your friend's ear and he'll flinch, no magic powers needed.
Same with Spinda. It's great at confusing its opponents, not because it uses psychic trickery or anything, but bc it uses the real-world tactic of moving erratically and being hard to follow. Tbh I love Spinda.
That's why I would argue Drampa is a good normal type, it's kind of just a guy. No insane elemental powers, and it doesn't lean super hard into 'haha look at me I'm a freaking DRAGON I'm SO COOL AND AWESOME WOAH' it's more like 'Hey I'm Drampa, I'm part of the neighborhood safety council, let me know if you have any concerns about the local playground or anything'
Like it IS A dragon but that's not Its Whole Deal. It has stuff outside of Being a Dragon, but that stuff isn't particularly elemental.
What's McCree's favorite Pokemon?
It's LiNOONe

I thoughts it’s taurros

Funfact: It was stated by Gamefreak that Kangashkan was not based on a kangaroo. Only a part of the name is ‘kanga’ because of the baby in the pouch. For the rest it’s based on an overweight fighter, some might even say it’s based on a sumo-wrestler (unlikely if you ask me) and King Kong and some dinosaurs played a big role in the design. Conclusion: It’s just a monster with a pouch.
I always thought Drampa was normal because it's old, and its sheer draconic energy has kind of fizzled out, so it's more or less a regular creature now
type: exists
Gnoggin: Well yes but actually no
My mom once suggested that the Normal type might be more like an "unclassified" type, so they've got some things that simply aren't specialized the way other types are, or they're specialized in a weird way that doesn't fit into the other types, or they've got Normal Type as a a placeholder classification until researchers can figure out what to call them.
I wonder if he knows that the Ahuizotl art he used is how the creature is depicted in My Little Pony?
Oh I'm sure he knows
Dunsparce is my favorite Normal-type Pokemon. It's adorable.
Wait a minute... you put Mega Lopunny in the “all normal” speed round, but it’s normal-fighting type!
He was using Mega Lopunny as an example at that time
He always keeps the mega evolutions with their non mega forms
Still normal, but you have a point
17:23 I'd argue that makes perfect sense for a Normal/Dragon. It's a mix of a Old Man (a normal thing) and a Dragon.
kangiskhan is a marsupial just like every animal u mentioned even possums have pouches i think it takes after the giant kangaroo fossils
"What normal pokemon are not normal?"
....
NONE OF THESE POKEMON ARE NORMAL!!!
A bunny can become a fightining type thats not. Normal
For us scrubs who don't live in the Pokemon world maybe. But for them, pretty normal.
@@monkey_blu I've got an argument for why some of them aren't normal, specifically the birds. In fact, to quote an ornithologist (bird scientist) when she was introduced to pokemon: "What about birds is immune to ghosts?"
no but seriously, why are the birds immune to ghosts, why?!
@@glitchwolf1384 Because they function with the same logic of why Ghosts can't harm ANY normal-type: because only ghosts can hurt other ghosts
Edgar Garcia That could be applied to pretty much every Pokemon that's ever been made
Eeeeyyyyyy, no way! It's the Sound type button from my New Types series at 8:33! :D Made me stop and do a double take while I was watching though it, lol.
Never expected anyone would find it on a channel as small as mine. :)
Glad to see you get one of your designs in!
11:46 "Could you imagine if Arceus was all types at once?"
Me after catching it in Legends Arceus: Yeah, that's what the Legend Plate does! It lets him auto swap types when he uses Judgement to be super effective against whatever he's facing.
OK I know that Regigigas is meant to be a buff Guy but he also has hyper beam
16:40 it's normal because dragons are usually paired with the flying type but this one has no wings so it's a Normal Dragon.
Soviet Doge But Drampa can still fly.. So..?
Drampa can fly. Goodra can't. So your logic is flawed.
Haxorus
I think the logic behind the Porygon line is similar to Eevee, Ditto, Castform, Arceus, and Silvally: Conversion and Conversion 2 are its signature moves so it's associated with type shifting and thus Normal is being treated as the "default type."
Best I can think of for Drampa is that it's because it has mammalian and reptilian traits, and a lot of Normal-types are mammals while many Dragon-types are reptiles. Pretty flimsy reasoning either way.
My excuse is Drampa is has some sound based moves and would be a normal occurrence since it is so friendly with the kids.
when you mentioned Zangoose, i always thought both of them (Zangoose and Seviper) should be dual type. the types they already are (Normal/Poison) and both should have a secondary dark type
Wow, I never realized I was a mix of things before I evolved.
Human evolution fun fact: the first human ancestor was actually a rodent so technically humans are evolved rodents.
@@kaitlynwhalen5961 Bonjour, Hi and Aloha. Got a moment time?
Yes, Cats are really cute, which is

honestly, you need to find the Balance between Relaxing

maybe need to think about some more complex and intense stuff...
See, i try to gather people for a good Cause.
Reporting problematic content on TH-cam and Tik Tok.
I have gathered Links/URL’s for a long time now and spend so much time confirming
each and every one of them to lead directly to a Racist, a Bully, a Sexist, a
Karen, a Mobber or a Combinations of the listed. Oh, and objectifying woman is
also a problem of current youtube.
I basically made a Wiki to provide people with
the means to report/flag, so youtube can be better.
And before you ask: Yes, i know some people report out of petty spite or somethin’.
I know Karens also sometimes use the Report-Function. But is that reason I
and/or you should not use it for the right thing? No. No of course not.
I mean, TH-cams strike-system
is famously broken and therefore really needs our help. You surely heard how much criticism
the CEO of TH-cam, Susan, gets, right?
This comment may be lackluster and therefore confusing, so
ask all the questions you may have, so your confusion gets away. That would be
the solution, i guess.
I hope you consider doing some good and fighting some
Racists, Sexists, Mobber, Bullies, and more.
I know a way to them, so they can be reported.
Reporting costs no money, just time, after all.
And dont we all want a more healthy TH-cam...
no, progamming code, is not nessiarily electric
most all coding is text based... and words are pretty normal
Well, it may be its display, but fundamentally it is still composed of no other material than electric signals manifesting in a display that gives
tangibility and a specific place and time in reality.
cause now i can see a floppy disc evolve to a cd evolve to a usb stick
Link to a programming code that doesn't use electricity? The text on a computer would be whatever program interpreted the 1s and 0s
@@koolkatjordanCode that is stored on a CD does not use electricity. Also data can be transmitted using radio waves and optics.
Making the Porygon line Electric type makes no sense because they are not bound by a certain medium. Information processing is an abstract concept which can also be performed without electricity. Though it does make sense for the Porygon line to learn a lot of Electric moves since electricity does lend itself well to information processing.
Also its Signature moves Conversion and Conversion 2 mean its typing categorizes it with Castform.
Spinda is just DRUNK! idk why but the delivery of that line cracked me up XD
Spinda: z'ANd if you, ah, think yer be'er n' me you've gotta nother thing comin'."
if that means that it's normal to be always drunk in Pokemon universe, well...
11:12 Arceus is normal, he's just a GOD POKEMON AND THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE ITSELF!, sounds normal to me.
5:55 Squirtle: WHEREVER AND TO BE TOGETHER
Bulbasaur: SQUIRTLE! ENOUGH WITH THE SHAKIRA REFERENCES!
I think Drampa is Normal Dragon because like his inspiration he exists in both the realm of Man (Normal) and the Mystical (as noted by being Dragon). I believe Gaijin Goomba did a video just on it shortly after it's announcement.
Is it just me but
To me silvali looks like a Griffin without wings but also with a weird head thing
And a fish tail
Normal type is actually my favorite next to bug, I used to always try and make monotype normal teams when I played the games to make me feel more like a gym leader
Whoa! Me, too! Only _I_ do it to feel more like an Elite Four member. God only _knows_ that we're still missing an Elite Four trainer who specializes in _that_ type!
I think Lopunny should be regarded as a fighting-type since it can learn so many fighting moves. That's how I use my Lopunny.
