FTM: Steel - Steelix, 'Titania'

Description

How I've used to loathe Steel types. When they introduced something which has 12 resistances,
it felt somewhat natural to flip over the dinner table (with dinner on top) and yell random strings
of vowels to exhaust my frustration. In reality, I just shouted stuff at the game screen. But the
conflict was of equal size, and the rage had just begun to churn.

Although, in Gen 2, the only place where Steel types mattered was at the gym, so the rest of
the game was as a whole pretty oblivious to their existence. I, on the other hand, decided to
forget about them on purpose. Steel types felt cheap, and I was inclined to deal with more
expensive brands of types instead of the metalware.

Time went. Pokémon became more versatile in their movesets. I begun to see all the
flaws Steel types had to carry, and thus, knew how to abuse them. The issue about the
dozen resistances is still a thorn in the side, but I've now grown used to it, and adapted accordingly.
And pick my own favorites out of that rugged class, where Steelix just so happens to do.
Because even though I used to hate Steel types, Steelix was simply way too cool. Not to
mention how Onix was so desperately in need of an improvement.
