    Obviously we all have Pokemon we're partial to (I subtly hint what mine is). What's your favourite type though? I'm personally oddly partial to water, though I know they've got some sick-nasty weaknesses. If you cover them, though, badass.
     
    I hate bug, though. There's a reason there's so few, I'm sure, and that would be Pokemon natural selection killing off all their useless carapaces.
     
    What's your vote?

    I love Bug Pokemon, because:
     
    A) Nobody ever uses them.
    B) Some of them are great (Ninjask, Pinsir, Scizor)
     
    On the other hand, I'm not a fan of Grass types. And I hate Dragon types.

    I hate Rock because Ground (for the most parts) have the best traits of Rock Pokemon while having some better attributes like not being weak against water. Dark seems kind of useless along with Ghost Pokemon, mainly because a lot of Psycic types can learn a ghost ability.

    You sir are crazy. The lack of good flying Pokemon in every game drives me nuts, always have to catch someone I have no interest in whatsoever just so I can use Fly.

    The best type is Ghost...... Gastly, Haunter, Gengar 

    They're weak to:  Ghost, Dark, Psychic
    But can learn:  Shadow ball, Dark pulse, Psychic     (I always thought that was weird)
     
    Plus immune to Normal, Fighting, and Ground
     
     
    The worst type is Steel

    Well I don't really like Bug, Normal, Grass, Psychic, or Poison. Probably more types. 
     
    Love me some Fire, Electricity, Water/Ice stuff, and Fighting. Oh and dragons.

    I kinda think Flying doesn't really get much better than the originals. The others are pretty weak but the Pidgey family isn't too terrible.

    Actually, if you want to get technical about it, the Pidgey family is the second worst of all the normal/flying birds out there in terms of both stats and movesets (Farfech'd being the worst). Of course, the only flying type pokemon I use with any regularity is Crobat, so take that as you will... 
     
    Favorite types though... I guess I like Psychic and Ghost. Maybe Fire, because fire has always had the most kickass starter with the exception of Ruby/Sapphire (Dude, Karate Chicken with blonde wig? What the hell. Pick Swampert instead.) I also like poison, despite the fact that Poison type pokemon always get the short end of the stick.
     
    I could care less about most generic water and grass types, but for those who say that bug types are bad... five words: Heracross, Scizor, and maybe Ninjask. Shedinja would be awesome too if he wasn't so vulnerable and invulnerable at the same time.

    Ice all the way. 
    Not a big fan of flying but only because too many Pokémon have it as a secondary type.

    I like Water, Grass and Ground the most. And I love the combination of them. Swampert and Torterra are awesome, even if Torterra gets annihilated by ice. Swampert gives the double bird to electric attacks. Plus, I love Mud Shot (Swampert devastated with that in Emerald), and both have Earthquake.
     
    I'm also fond of Dark, mostly because loads of things learn Bite/Crunch which can take out psychics easily.
     
    And because Absol is Dark type.

    @ArbitraryWater: I never knew Zubat/Golbat/Crobat could use the HM fly. This changes everything... 
     
    Looking on Bulbapedia, Honchkrow looks like a pretty damn good flying Pokemon.
