Pokemon playerswere upset with the treatment of Bug-type Pokemon, and believe they are unfairly weak against some other types like Fairy.
The Pokemon Companyhas slowly added to the originalPokemontypes, like the addition ofDark,Steel, andFairy.
Despite this, some of the original types have remained fans’ favorites, such asFire-typewhich is home to some of the most popular Pokemon likeCharizard.
Other types, have proved to be less loved and considered more niche, one of which isBug-typepocket monsters, which players are fed up with and have demanded that the insect-inspired Pokemon get a buff.

One player was frustratedwith the state of Bug-type Pokemon, complaining on social media about the types’ “incompetence”.
They referenced the weakness of Ice-type when explaining why they thought the type was so weak.
“I feel like Bug is just the Ice type if you replaced defensive incompetence with offensive incompetence on the type chart,” they said. “Fire, Flying, and Steel make sense to me. Maybe Poison if it’s supposed to be pollution, pesticide, or otherwise toxic gasses. But some of these other non-effective interactions seem overkill,” they continued.
Pokemon fans agreed with the complaint, feeling that bias was being given toward other types like Fairy: “Fairy resisting bug confuses and enrages me. Psychic/Fairy is already a great typing without that resistance.”
However for some players, not all Pokemon types needed to be powerful in battle, and they actually enjoyed the challenge of using more niche types.
“I like that bug is weaker. Not every type needs to be completely balanced. I like using my underdog bug types and still managing to do well,” they said.
