Haha, my wife isn't a gamer, so she tied the types to things our dog does - hates the dark, resistant to water and runs after squirrels (grass). Doubt this would fly in regulation or playground play.

People actually play the Pokémon card game? Is there a big scene?

Ha I run a game store and I'd say less than 10% of the customers who buy cards at least know the rules sort of.

I imagine Pokemon knows this but they can't change the cards they are pretty much locked in to the design

The competitive Pokemon TCG scene has grown very much in the time past COVID. Fairly sure the past few Regional Championships this year have continuously broken attendance records.

Not as big as other games but it's there. As a kid it was super popular for a while before Yu-Gi-Oh took over. I loved that game, my dad even learned to play a bit.
