Elemental weaknesses are like the alphabet or multiplication tables of gaming. You learn them early on and you apply them to every RPG, or game that implements elements, that you play. So where did you learn of them? 
 
Me? I learned them from Pokemon.

Pokemon has the largest variety of types and interactions with one another, but basic RPG elemental interaction is rather elementary school science.

Ahh, but once you made it past Misty he could own the rest of the Gym leaders!

Pokemon, I would always pick the water starter but would still get pissed when I realized one of the first gyms is grass type.

Final Fantasy VI (though at the time, it was III). That's also where I learned you can use Cure spells to hurt the undead (or Life even to kill them in one hit even) but most games don't allow you to target your enemies with healing spells. I miss that ability.

I tried to think of anything else it could have been, but nothing comes to mind. Pokemon it is!

I'm pretty sure that would be Pokémon. 
Hmm, elemental weaknesses and english, who said you couldn't learn stuff from playing Pokémon games?!
