psychic type is weak to common fears as they are weaknesses of a mind

This one's pretty obvious. But either way, the fans will fill in the gaps even if it doesn't make sense.

Gen 1 psychic was OP as fuck. However they fucked it up when they tried to balance it later on.

Psychic should be be combination of wizard magic, super intelligence, and sci fi mental abilities.

They should destroy fighting, mind over matter, and likewise resist the most "physical" smashing and bashing types, mainly fighting, steel, rock.

They should have no problem with the darkness, or ghosts or bugs.

>the type I like should resist everything and have no weaknesses!
okay

Because witchcrafts and paganism are weak to Christianity

Dark = Evil

Psychic = Read minds

Read mind of an evil person = wish you didn't know

If someone has evil intentions, being able to read their mind wont stop that evil from perpetuating.

Pretty obvious.

Psychic has always been weak to bug the only reason it was irrelevant in gen 1 was because all of the bug pokemon were terrible and their movepools were also terrible. Most of them didn't learn bug moves that actually inflicted damage. Only beedrill who happened to be part poison. It's possible you could make the argument that since bugs are so insignificant that the Psychics simply would be ignorant of them and hence why they can one up the Psychic type.

Heights/flying are a more common fear than darkness. Your headcanon is shit.

ornithophobia is pretty unconventional fear

Psychic needs a buff.
Tbh that entire ghost-psychic-dark triangle needs adjustments. It just feels too isolated. The only one that doesn’t is psychic and that’s just because they slapped a bunch of weaknesses and resistances nerfs on it.

Nihilism

maybe but fear of fire, big bodies of water, the deep waters and heights are

Good thing no one said that.

he's arguing flying is the "bird" type rather than the "air type" which is incompatible with the air genie being the only mono-flying mon we got outside of arceus

All non-elemental strengths and weaknesses have no basis in logic, there are only accepted fan explanations that autists will insist are canon.

I know exactly what he's going for and it's so retarded there's no point in actually responding. Smarten up.

Edgy

Cut was bug type in gen 1 so I always used that to take out psychic types
