Which type was better in generation one: psychic or normal?

Why psychic types were incredibly powerful back in generation one:- no actual weakness- very high special- incredibly good at using blizzard, psychic and amnesia, which were one of the best moves in the generation- psychic types scare away fighting types (which are super effective against normal types, which were very powerful back then), so having a normal + psychic core was really good- psychic types severely lowered the usage of anything weak to it, so if you have a Pokemon weak to poison or fighting, it would be very easy to cover the weakness- the only type that resisted psychic was itself.- some of the best Pokemon in the generation are psychic type

Why normal types were incredibly powerful back in generation one:- no actual weaknesses- very high attack (by generation one standards)- incredibly good at using body slam, hyper beam, and earthquake, which were one of the best moves in the generation- only rock and ghost types resisted normal, and they’re all weak to earthquake, so normal Pokemon are able to overcome them- okay special, so they can use blizzard to make rhydon and golem shiver in fear- some of the best Pokemon in the generation are normal

Examples of amazing psychic type Pokemon (in generation one): Mew, Mewtwo, Exeggutor, AlakazamExamples of amazing normal type Pokemon (in generation one): Tauros, Snorlax, Chansey

KEEP IN MIND THIS IS FOR GENERATION ONE ONLY! DO NOT MENTION OTHER GENERATIONS!

Pyschic is the most powerful type back then since there was a thing where ghost types couldn’t hit psychic types so there only weak to bug, but since bug types was so weak back then it wasn’t enough and with a Pokemon like alakazam could destroy the game with psychic or mewtwo with psychic and Add on the wacky mechs that can really make the game easy.

Hope I Helped!
