→What's the deal with the order types are listed in?
| Line 495: | Line 495: | ||
Everywhere on this wiki seems to use the same order for the listing of types (normal, fighting, flying, poison..). Other than the original physical types followed by the original special types, this order seems arbitrary. It doesn't seem to be written down as official bulbapedia practice from what I can tell, either. Official guides and manuals use the normal, fire, water, electric.. order, which makes this even more odd since everything (except EVs...) on this wiki uses official terminology. What is the meaning behind this order, and why is it used over the official type order?

:[[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] and previous games use the Normal, Fighting, Flying, etc. order. Regardless of whether the order is officially used, the order isn't important enough to warrant changing it just because the newest material uses a different order. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:45, 27 March 2017 (UTC) | :[[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] and previous games use the Normal, Fighting, Flying, etc. order.

::The order Bulbapedia uses is also the internal order of the types in the Pokémon games. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 09:05, 28 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
