Selling a couple of my unused TF2 stranges. Bought a couple on a whim a while ago and realised that I probably won't use them much, so may as well give them to someone who will.


At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do.

Been thinking things through, not important things but stuff that leaves me confused.

Some things I don't understand about Pokemon.

Why isn't Charizard a dragon type? despite its shape, it's a fire/flying type.

How can Normal type Pokemon be immune to Ghost type attacks? the paranormal in fiction usually can hurt anyone except those with a protection spell.

Shouldn't Electric Pokemon be also weak against Water not just the other way around? Water causes a short circuit with electronics, somehow Magnemite doesn't even feel it unless underleveled. Yes I know Electric Eels in real life can deliver an electric shock without frying themselves, but they have special adaptations for that. The same would not be true for a robot, which is what Magnemite and Magneton are implied to be in Pokemon fiction. I'm pretty sure machines have little to no defence against say an arc welder.

In the beta type chart for gen 2 when steel was introduced, steel was in fact weak to electric type moves but it was scrapped for some reason. To be fair, a lot of the type chart that we ended up getting doesn't make a whole lot of sense sometimes with other examples. Why exactly is psychic weak to bugs? I know the theory of psychic types being weak to common human fears (bugs, ghosts, and the dark) but in a world of fantastical creatures, I'd expect incredible psychic powers to beat up any old insect

Yes, and in gen 1 there were very few bug type attacks that existed, Twin Needle and Pin Missile are the few I know of, but in any case, they sucked, they barely did any damage at all to Alakazam and Mewtwo due to their lame base power ratings. This is why Psychic Pokemon were overpowered in gen 1, they were practically invulnerable to the others. Ghost type attacks couldn't hurt them either except for that one typeless move called Nightshade. I prefer gen 2 now, not just because of the held items but the better type balancing, and I've come to appreciate it more which is why I did a new playthrough of Pokemon Crystal on my Gameboy Advance SP.
