I always assumed Dragon types were meant to evoke less European dragons - they're sky spirits, rain spirits, elemental creatures rather than big fire-breathing lizards
On the same note I think that dragons resist the base elements - water, fire, lightning, grass - because they're traditionally creatures with command over those elements in different forms
That wouldn't explain the ice weakness, though. Maybe there's a specific story about that

Because the ghosts are the souls of the dead.
And the darkness corrupts their souls.

i don't like ford and haven't ever bought a new car, so i vote buy an old Chrysler
Jesus FUCK, Melding when did you turn evil?
Chrysler is where most of my family works, also i don't like the way most fords look.
Exactly how shitty were the Damiler-Chrysler years for the Chrysler employees?
And, do you or anybody you know ever feel guilty about the Neon?
From what i understand they were never really worse off than other car manufacturer employee in the area until after the crash. They complained a lot, sure. but so did all of them. As for the neon, the plant where i grew up did minivans mostly, so no one i knew worked on one.
That's it, I'm all out of poogle questions. Until you get to some of the resistances like why does water resist dragon but NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT
Well, ghosts are always tempted into darkness, and if they fall to it they are devoured by satan. Everyone knows this. As for ice vs flying i'm going to guess it has something to do with birds flying to warmer climates in the fall to get away from winter, though i don't have a direct reason.
What is the logic behind the weaknesses of the more esoteric pokemon e.g dragon, dark, fairy.
For example: fire is weak to water because water douses fires. Why is dragon weak to ice?
I think the ice weakness is because most dragons are reptilian . The idea as presented in X/Y is that fairy types are forest spirits and thus immune to Dragons whose domains are the sea and mountains. Fairies are weak to steel because traditionally spirits are weak to iron . No idea about poison
Dark is Evil type in Japan though I think a better translation at least before Gen 4 would be Demon. Hence why they can torment the dead and are immune to psychics. The fighting weakness is because fighting type pokemon are honest and direct while Dark types are devious. This is why pokemon like Scrafty are portrayed as street toughs or gang members. They're anti-heroes
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
ghosts as conceived in pokemon are not really bad, they just take people's souls away because that's their nature. they're really quite innocent, and as such get fricked up by the true evil of dark type
Ghost pokemon are a f'd up concept.
I just imagine team rocket or some bad dude's murdering people to convert them into Yamasks.
Ghost Type gyms are just as bad.

those stories aren't real. one of the pokemon are supposed to be as hot as the surface of the sun. they're not a rare pokemon either. if it was true everyone would be dead.

actually I think I straight up said the opposite of what it actually is
Ghosts main method of attack is being 2spooky and dark pokemon can't be spooked.

Can't fly very well in a blizzard
I am a pokemon doctor btw so anything I say is canon
...evil?
Uh...huh
evil doesn't always have to look evil, c-snax.
either K's car from Men in Black, or Abobo's truck from double dragon.
what if you've always been in the horror dimension but couldn't see the horrors around you
i hear Afghanistan has never lost a war, maybe there?
you're already stuck int he horror dimension, the cloak just alloys you to pierce the veil of perception.
the spice must flow.

water does not resist dragon
This played out in a really surprising fashion so far
It wasn't me the player who unified Afghanistan, it was my character's mom who became one of the most badass NPC rulers I've ever seen
She even met the Abbasid Caliph in battle and defeated him, getting maimed in the process
this is excellent news.
you should declare her the anti-pope and over throw the catholics.

Also I'm far away from Europe and I worship some guy named Zul Zun

Everyone would be Yamasks.

Every time ghost type tries to scare a dark type the dark type just gives them the Dark Knight Rises Bane speech
Please don't dead name Susie.
edit: but you're still right.
