It's probably because SOMETHING should be able to beat it other than itself. The bugs being stupid is probably what the creators would say because it makes no sense otherwise. It's better than psychic being only weak againt itself. And anyway LVL. 100 Charizard + flamethrower = beats all.

 

 Psychic type are NOT weak against Psychic type moves.  In fact, they resist Psychic type moves.

Also I could wall your Charizard fairly well with a bulky Kingdra.



Pixel Art can be fun.

300 posts! Say Hi skitty! Use Defence Curl!

FYI - Psychic has one of the lowest super effectiveness in the game. Only hitting 2x on Posion (which is fairly uncommon) and fighting. Due to the amount of SP. Attack they get.



Why must JRPG female leads suck so bad?

Because Psychic types would be REALLY broken otherwise.

Megahorn, Bug Buzz and X-Scissor ftw.

 

This. Even with the bug weakness, they were still totally broken in RBY. The only ghost types were also poison types, and so utterly suceptible to the psychic foes, and aside from Twin Needle, there were no remotely powerful bug attacks

 

Until Gold and Silver, Psychic was the winning hand, hands down.

Wait, was psychic never weak against psychic, because the original base set of pokemon cards say otherwise. I guess the cards influenced my memory of the game.

Yeah, that's what I thought too.

Then the Dark types arrived... bastards! D:



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

 Yeah, I know they have slightly adjusted over the years. I could have sworn the original game had psychic weak against psychic.  The original base set of pokemon cards (a.k.a. the best) would seem to reinforce this. Hmmm.....

Blissey > special sweepers.

In the original game Psychics were the best. I guess for the sake of balance they had to give pokemon weakness that at times didn't make sense.

What is the point of normal and Ghost not being able to hurt each other? How is it that fighting is super effective to normal?
