Of course, you having more authority than me, I accept your decision knowing that my opinion doesn't make much of a difference anyway.

== Difference between Primary and Secondary types == | |||
I'm not 100% sure about what I'm about to say because I haven't confirmed it with the whole pokemon list, but I'm bringing it here so others may comment. | |||
I believe the only difference between Primary and Secondary types is mostly due to the basics of the Pokémon in question: Primary type is what it will always be, while Secondary type may change. | |||
Example: Surskit is a Bug/Water type. It will always be a Bug, even after evolution, but as it evolves it's Secondary type no longer applies. | |||
This would also explain why Flying types are always secondary, as they are only "flying" when in flight. Otherwise, when on land, they are simply what their Primary-type defines (Pidgeys are Normal, Zapdos is Electric, and so on). | |||
I believe the games assume Flying-type pokemon are always airborne when in battle, but it would be interesting to see if, in future generations, they add the option to tell a flying Pokémon to land, hence "losing" its Flying-type temporarily (for strategic reasons). | |||
Anyway, this is just a theory. If I missed any evidence of it being otherwise, let me know :) | |||
