    Why does Dark types weak against Fighting? I mean, I don't see how...

    Also, why do Dragon types hate Dragon? (Also, Ghost.)
     
    Not all of the type match-ups make much sense. Though it's interesting to note, the two types introduced in the Metal Generation, Dark and Steel, are both weak against Fighting.

    As for Dragon weak against Dragon, again, it makes no sense, but does anything in the Pokemon world? I find it good, because it adds more strategic elements to battles (ex, if you have your Dragon vs an opponent's Dragon, you have an advantage, and a disadvantage)
     
    I personally think that there are some things that are better left unknown... XD
     
    You know what doesn't make sense? How Bug-element attacks are effective against Psychic-element and Dark-element Pokemon. Ah well, I guess thay had to make Bug-elements effective against something, since there are only a few Bug-element Pokemon even worth using. :P
     
    Yes. If you use a Psychic against a well-trained Bug type, there's a HIGH chance you will get owned.

    Alakazam against a Bug with Megahorn, equals pure pwnage.
     
    Bugs have always needed loving, same as Fighting.

    Megahorn hammers psychics, but with the addition of X-Scissor and Bug Buzz is not longer the only one to cause some severe damage.

    Some of the match-ups make some sense, for example even though in real life pure water does NOT conduct electricity, water almost always have some form of inpurities, many of which conduct electricity very well.
     
    Fighting is the mighty predator to a lot of stuff, but Dark..isn't. :(
    Bugs, I had always wondered...maybe they bug Psychic types.
    Against Dark, I dunno.
     
    Fighting was originally heavily nerfed in the old RBY days, with Psychics being highly ranked (including the superbanned Mewtwo). Adding Dark types helped balance the psychic dominance, as well as adding a trio similar to Water/Fire/Grass, Psychic/Fighting/Dark. Gives more for a Fighting type to be used for.
