34 * COMMENT Pokemon Table Data 31 - The susceptability of Fire types against Water attacks
32 is 2, because Water type attacks are strong against Fire type
33 Pok\eacute{}mon. The damage that a Water type attack normally does
34 is doubled when it is used against a Fire type pok\eacute{}mon.
35
36 - The susceptability of Water types against Water attacks is
37 $\frac{1}{2}$, because Water type attacks are strong against Water
38 type Pok\eacute{}mon. The damage that a Water type attack normally
39 does is halved when it is used against a Water type
40 pok\eacute{}mon.

42 There are two pok\eacute{}mon type systems in use. The first is the
43 classic system which was used for the very first pok\eacute{}mon
44 games, Red, Yellow, and Blue. This old system was used from 1998 to
45 2000 in America, and is known as the /Generation I Type System/. The
46 modern pok\eacute{}mon type system was introduced in 2000 with the
47 introduction of pok\eacute{}mon Gold and Silver, and has been in use
48 ever since. It is called the /Generation II Type System/.
49
50 Here are the the definitions of the two type systems.
