+== Type effectiveness ==
+Thank you for helping me in putting up the type effectiveness tables.
+For future reference, there are two sources for differences between the figures for RBY and the figures for later games:
+#In RBY, there are a few differences in the type matching table. {{T|Bug}} and {{T|Poison}} are weak to each other, {{T|Fire}} isn't resistant to {{T|Ice}}, and {{T|Psychic}} is immune to {{T|Ghost}}.
+#In RBY, there weren't seperate Special Attack and Special Defense, but rather just Special which was both. In the later versions, some got that Special Attack figure, some got the Special Defense figure, and some got both. When Special Defense is different from Special, the type matching table looks different (see {{P|Abra}} family for example). To look up these figures, look at [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks_Pok%C3%A9dex:National_Index Wikibooks].
+{{P|Magnemite}} and {{P|Magneton}} are a different story, since they gained [[Steel (type)|a new type]])
+Any place where, due to the data above, the numbers are different, you should put in the '''RBY type effectiveness''' template.
