+== Origin of type match-ups ==
+"Why are Bug-type moves super-effective towards Psychic-types?"
+"Why is it that Steel-type moves don't do as much against Water-types?"
+I'm sure many, many people wonder this. As a Wikia, it's our job to educate the public, so I think that each type-page should have its section of why its match-ups are what it is. I'd imagine it'd work nicely being set up like this in the Grass-type page:
+==Type Match-up Origins==
+===Offensive===
+====Super-effective====
+*''Plants'' often spread their root system throughout the ''ground''.
+*In some cases, ''weeds'' will be able to grow through the thin layers of concrete or ''stones'', despite their density. Moss is also commonly found on rocks, completely covering them up.
+*''Grass'' is known to absorb large amounts of ''rainwater'' and manage to stay healthy. To add, water is actually needed in the process of photosynthesis, and some plants can even live underwater.
+====Not very effective====
+*Very few ''plants'' manage to prey on ''insects'' or hinder the mobility of bugs, due to their habits of eating plants.
+*Certain ''reptilian'' animals aren't at disadvantages when in their respective ''plant-filled'' environments.
+**[[Dragon-types]]s are often considered to be reptilian in nature.
+*Since ''plants'' create oxygen, ''flames'' are only stronger when around grassy and forest areas.
+*Aside from several poisonous ''plants'', no known type of plant can actually hurt ''birds''. To add, birds often make nests inside of trees or on their branches.
+**Birds are usually associated with [[Flying-type]]s.
+*''Trees'' cannot be planted too close to eachother, or else their roots will absorb too much of the liquid in the ground, and therefore wilt.
+**Explanation of why Grass-type moves are not very effective towards Grass-types.
+*''Plant-life'' not not often found in ''noxious'' environments.
+*Regardless of the strength of the ''plant'', roots cannot penetrate plates of ''steel''.
+===Defensive===
+====Resistances====
+*''Wood'' is known to be nonconducting to ''electricity''.
+*''Plants'' cannot move on their own, and therefore cannot attack other ''plants''.
+**Explanation as to why Grass-types resist Grass-type attacks.
+*Regardless if the ''ground'' is wet or dry, or hard or soft, ''plant-life'' can always grow if in the right climate conditions.
+*''Rain'', if not acidic and in average amounts, cannot kill fields of grass.
+====Weaknesses====
+*''Insects'' often eat ''leaves'' and other plants in their diets.
+*''Fire'' is stronger when provided with oxygen, which is exactly what ''flowers'' provide.
+*''Birds'', such as crows, will often attack farm ''crops'' for food, often destroying said crops.
+*''Cold'' environments are often unsuitable for ''plants'' to grow. Flowers will wilt and trees will lose their leaves in Winter.
+*''Pesticides'', weed-killers, and other toxins, will poison and kill ''plants'' if not used in a proper manner.
