Top 10 Pokemon Types

Pokemon is one of my favourite games to play. When Pokemon are used to battle most trainers I see  have certain types that they like so I thought I might as well count down my top 10 favourite types of Pokemon.




10) Fighting

Fighting type are brilliant however they are weak against Flying and Psychic type attacks making it number 10 on my list.






09) Fire

Fire types have always been my starter choices (except in Diamond and Pearl) since Ruby and Sapphire. Fire however is weak against Water and Ground type attacks.





08) Steel

Steel is in most of my favourite Pokemon. If it is in Lucario, Excadrill or even Magneton Steel is still weak against Fire and Fighting attacks.





07) Grass

Grass Pokemon have always been the type of Pokemon I seem to catch first no matter if I encounter any others. Grass is weak to Fire and Poison attacks.






06) Flying

Flying Types allow you to go anywhere using the HM Fly. This is the only reason I own flying Pokemon. Flying is weak to Rock and Ice type attacks.





05) Ground
My favourite legendary is a Ground type Pokemon, that being Groundon. Ground types are weak to Water and Grass attacks.





04) Rock

These type of Pokemon annoyed me when in the caves, however have pretty good use when they are super effective against Flying type Pokemon. Rock still has its weaknesses, especially when those weaknesses are Water and Fighting type attacks.



03) Psychic

Psychic is one of my favourite types, the first Pokemon I had liked was a Psychic type. Psychic types, however, are weak to Ghost and Bug attacks.



02) Ghost
Ghosts might not be able to hit Normal Pokemon and the same happens vice versa. This means that Normal moves are useless against Ghost Pokemon. However, they are weak against Dark type and their own type moves.





Honourable Mention) Electric
Electric Pokemon truly shock me. They have the one weakness to ground but thier very small moveset is what makes it my honourable mention.

 01) Dragon
Dragon might have its weaknesses to Ice and Fairy attacks, they are also weak to thier own attacks. It is the fact that this typing is based off of a mythical creature is why it is my favourite Pokemon.

Make sure to check out the Pokemon Database. Without this website I wouldn't be able to know the type weaknesses.

3 Secrets you probably didn't know about in Super Mario Maker

Super Mario Maker allows you to create, edit and share your own levels, however, there are some secrets in Super Mario Maker that most of you didn't know about. Here is 3 secrets about Super Mario Maker that you might not have known about.


03) Checkpoints

You might be thinking "Why are you saying checkpoints. They aren't in the game." Well actually they are. If you shake the arrow while in edit mode it will turn into a checkpoint.


02) Skinny Mario

If you keep tapping on a door in edit mode you will be able to see Skinny Mario in all sorts of power-ups. He even might swing on the door.


01) Super Wario Maker

Most of you will know about these Easter Eggs, but my favourite is Super Wario Maker. This happens when you tap on Mario's 'M' in the title screen. This will cause the 'M' to turn upside down, causing it to turn into a 'W' therefore spelling Super Wario Maker.



Make sure to checkout GameXplains videos on these three secrets because I wouldn't of known about them if I hadn't watched their videos.

Top 10 Super Mario games

Mario has some pretty amazing games. These range from the classic 2-D Side Scrollers to the modern 3-D Free Roamers. I am going to count down my top 10 favourite Super Mario games.




10) Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario bros. is where it all started for Mario. this is the first Mario game I played and it got me hooked into the Mario games.

09) New Super Mario Bros. DS

This is the 2nd DS game I had. this has got to be one of my most played games in the franchise.
 

08) New Super Mario Bros. U

This game got me wanting the Wii U, although, I don't currently own a Wii U, I still love this game.
 

07) Super Mario Sunshine

Played this game and loved it from the start. Even though I got 5% through and didn't know what to do afterwards.
 

06) Super Mario 3-D World

Another game that makes me want a Wii U. The fact that Peach is a playable character insted of a non-playable character (NPC) is why it is on my list.
 

05) Super Mario Galaxy 2

Jumping from planet to planet, using different powerups and being able to ride Yoshi. Another game I got hooked into.
 

04) Super Mario Galaxy

This is the 1st mario game I played on the Wii. This game had a load of features that the 2nd one didn't. Hell they even let Luigi a chance to shine in the stars.
 

03) Super Mario 64 DS

The 1st game I ever had on a DS. It is also the first game I had seen where you could play as Yoshi instead of riding him.
 

02) Super Mario World

The best game when looking at the sprite and game mechanics. I have loved to speedrun this game.

Honourable Mention) Super Mario Bros. 3 

Super Mario Bros. started Mario's, Princess saving set of games. This game perfected them.
 

01) Super Mario Maker

The block breaking, princess saving, plumber is back and it is up to you to create courses for Mario to overcome. This is the main reason I want a Wii U.
