I hope you dont use Magcargo in any sort of battling? :/
Its possibly the worst fire type there is, it doesnt have a good move pool and it has well below decent stats right across the board. I find it interesting that of all the great fire types you chose the weakest of the lot of them.
Some people use certain Pokemon because they're fun to use, or because they simply like the Pokemon. There's more to the game than picking exclusively the best 'Mons. .w.;

Psychic and Dragon. And although Psychics aren't all that popular, Their laughably weak defense leaves them vulnerable to two super effective, mostly PHYSICAL types, Bug and Dark.

Dragon... I agree dragon pokemon are awesome, but most of them have very low defenses (Salamence, anyone?), leaving them vulnerable to ice types and, (if their speed is low) other dragons. And for the ones with great defenses (dragonite says hi), their speed and attack stats aren't good enough to back it up. I'd also like to point out how almost all of them have a 4x weakness to ice.

Water types are so-so, but they're really useful against fire, rock and ground types. A level 8 squirtle that knows bubble can easily take down Brock's level 14 Onix (thanks to the fact that most Gen I Rock-types are also ground types).
Also, out of the starter-types (Grass, Water and Fire), Water has the fewest weakness (only to grass and electric types), Fire Types have more resistance to more elements, and Grass types have the most weaknesses but are good against early gym leaders in most games.

Fighting, I can't belive no ones polled them? Come on. I can punch and kick people, doesn't make me a fighting type.
There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

The only type I really see as overrated is Dragon. Every generic "strong trainer" in the game/elite 4 has them, and a lot of them are over-powered stat - wise. Not to say I don't like them. I really don't see how dark or fire types are overrated though... None of them are really overly powerful, and I actually don't see many dark trainers in the games and such. Ghosts are pretty rare to see too, so I don't see that either. The only thing that keeps constantly coming to mind is the dragon type. There are annoyingly powerful dragons in just about every game.

I'm saying steel, because many go boasting how many resistances they got, many of them still get owned by Fire, ground or Fighting attacks.

I'm surprised to see that no one voted ground, because of the fact that almost every physical orientated pokemon can learn Earthquake.

Fire. While Dragon and Steel can at least use the fact that they are ridiculously overpowered as an excuse for their way too high popularity, Fire is not really a good type. Above average on the offense, and defensively just plain terrible. And still, people spam fire types on their team like crazy.
Also, to a lesser extent, Dark.

Dragons. They really aren't all that great if you ask me. Their designs are stereotypical and I really don't have a kinship with any of them in particular.

I actually voted grass(and possibly the only person who did) because they hve an *** load of weaknesses and bad moves(ill stop here) and yet people still seem to think they are good, at least in my experience
Dragons may be overrated but they r epic...

AMEN!!! Although it's still wise to not bring a Water Pokemon to Erika or Gardenia's gym...otherwise, they get pwned when they're up against fire, bug, poison, flying and ice types.

And I REALLY HATE how many staple grass type movies, like vine whip have low PP. Vine whip only has 10 PP, while it's counterparts; water gun and ember have 25 pp.

Dragons, most def. Everyone gets obsessive over them.

You know what type is underrated? Ice. Ice types are wonderful.
