That's actually somewhat Ironic, as Hohahihehu did the exact same think, except reversed. So it's like you actually did vote for the one you wanted. You preformed each others votes for each other. o.oDude, what is with me, I misclicked again...
Meant for Somewhat Offensive (voted somewhat defensive by mistake, fuck), though the arguments are good on the other end (I'm bitter about more fucking defensive options).
I guess I can see what your saying, but Electric/Dragon also packs some nice resistances as well (or so is said numerous times. Don't remember them off the top of my head, and too tired to check...), to make up for it in some respects. A great-enough ability can also almost completely make up for it, potentially. Plus, Somewhat Defensive still has the ability to do some okay attacking. It's solid, if you ask me...I know this typing looks like an interesting combo to go defensive -- but it's weak to the most popular offensive move in the game (Earthquake), the most fearsome offensive type in the game (Dragon, with Outrage and Draco Meteor), and the offensive type that every team packs specifically for handling Dragons (Ice).
Resists Water, Fire, Grass, Electric (4x), Steel and Flying, for reference to anyone that wants to know.I guess I can see what your saying, but Electric/Dragon also packs some nice resistances as well (or so is said numerous times.

Somewhat offensive, we're using possibly the best 2 attacking types, and 2 of the worst defensive typings imo. We really won't want to be switching this in, and I'd rather use a fast quick sweeper, opposed to a bulky sweeper who takes neutral from everything. Usually bulky sweepers play off immunities etc, something this guy won't have.
I know this typing looks like an interesting combo to go defensive -- but it's weak to the most popular offensive move in the game (Earthquake), the most fearsome offensive type in the game (Dragon, with Outrage and Draco Meteor), and the offensive type that every team packs specifically for handling Dragons (Ice). This pokemon is not going to want to switch in much, because it won't get many chances to come in safely. It's reasonable to believe that this pokemon could have trouble coming in on roughly 4 pokemon on EVERY team. I'm all for a challenge, and bucking convention and all -- but making this pokemon defensive is just too much of an uphill battle.
Let's go Somewhat Offensive with this. We can switch in by taking advantage of a few nifty defensive matchups we get from our unique typing, and then take control of the battle with some good-ole offensive sweepage!
I think that the main reason that people do want to go defensive is that we want to make something different, as we already have enough offensive Dragons.
