Game Freak logic

'Game Freak logic' isn't the answer to everything, $umwun.

Why  isnt ninetales a psychich type

---

'Cause Ninetales is based on a Kitsune, which curses people who grab their tail(s). They can also take forms of spirits. Which makes Ninetales more similar to ghosts than they are to Psychics.

I'm with sumwun here. I'm all for analysis and creative philosophical thinking, but I think that when it comes to this site anything that can be only answered with "GameFreak logic" isn't even worth asking... I've heard a lot of people ask this but nobody has had an answer, I don't think there is one. Of course, I could be wrong.

It's a plain water duck that learned how to slightly copy some psychic abilities while also having a pimple between it's eyes.

I made that up. I'm with sumwun, sorry :P.

If you all think the answer is gamefreak logic (Which only 3 people think) Then eat this: Only answers in the answer box: Use the comment function to reply to others' posts as mentioned above. If you need to add to your own post, click edit to change it

Golduck should be a Water/Psychic Type. Since most Psychic Types have those red dots on their foreheads.

---

@Octalmari That's exactly why I didn't answer...

---

People aren't writing as answers because the only answers we can come up with are subjective, which I think are probably better off as comments. Would you even be happy if people wrote "GameFreak logic" as an answer? Are you asking for our opinions on probable answers? Or are you asking if there is a real answer to this, then what is it? I'm asking because I'm always unsure with questions like this and I'd like to be able to at least know what you're expecting so I can maybe try to help...

---

This question is well written. You could simply answer ‘no’: that there is no explanation that is immediately apparent or proven to be true.

---

@Octalmari - Huh, what a weird way to communicate.

---

Well, at least I got a proper answer.

Answer 1

i only have 2 explanation: golduck would be too powerful with the psychic type in rby so game freak limited the amount of psychic types to late game mons, or the one in early game are too weak. 2nd, I think is golduck got too much brain damage as a psyduck. golduck and psyduck have psychic powers but not smart enough to use them to the fullest. or 3, gamefreak logic

Sorry, I classified Slowbro to be a Pure Water type and Hypno to not even exist at all.

there is also jynx but everyone pretend she doesnt exist

---

That's because Jynx doesn't exist. Jynx is like the Mew under the truck, but less believable.

What's a jynx

It's what you say whenever somebody says the exact same thing that you just said at the exact same time as you.
