I’m not much of a Pokemon player, but I saw the chart in Arceus the other day and I was like “Jesus fuck. It used to just be Rock Paper Scissors. Now you need a freaking spreadsheet!”
It was never rock paper scissors. The three starters are an analogue of rock, paper, scissors. But the other types have much more complicated relationships even in the first release of pokemon in the 90s.
Looking like a goddam pokemon type match-up chart

They’ve added 3 (or 4) types in the past 28(?) years. The chart didn’t get that much more complex… That’s nothing for a such an old game…
