Also Bug may imply that you're messing with someone's head and the power of psychics come from the brain.

It's the general 'fear' of bugs that people have. Like, most people have a psychological fear of insects or arachnids, hence why Bug beats Psychic in Pokemon.

Here's another interesting question.

Bug Beats Dark.

o.o

There are plenty of nightime bugs - the dark doesn't scare them! But apparently the dark is scared of bugs, hmm. I bet that's why the dark goes away, and the light comes out............the dark is scared of bugs! It can't handle another minute so it runs away. Yes, that's it.

What doesn't make sense is how Steels are weak against Ground type moves, Poision types are weak against Ground type moves, Dark Types being weak against Bug type moves, Ghost types beating weak against Dark Type moves and Dragon Types being weak to Ice Type moves.. Pokemon is weird. o.O

Well, that could be justified with big steel structures (say a bridge) which can't handle the power of an earthquake (well, not a big one at least). 

And Dragons are thought of as reptiliian creatures, who are usually cold-blooded, so ice and snow would make them VERY lethargic, if not outright kill them.

As for the rest, who knows (I don't think my bug theory will catch on)!
