There are Pokemon fans who have a favourite type, so surely there are reasons they favour that type. Perhaps it's a specific Pokemon that sold you in a type, it might be the overall strength of that type, or maybe they have a certain design philosophy that interests you. Basically, there are a million reasons one could feasibly become a fan with a type.
Take me, for example. My favourite is the Ghost-type, and what sold me into favouring this type is that early on, there were only four of them, so the rarity of said type is what makes it special. Not only that, Gengar's family (taking up three of four spots in the Ghost-type family) is a very good representative of the Ghost-types, because they are cool. Eventually, another thing that sold me into Ghost being a favourite type was how a Ghost-type with no weaknesses was introduced, called Sableye. I thought it was cool (even though its stats were low) because I don't have to worry about super-effective hits. Of course, it helps that Ghost-types got some improvements in Generation 6. A side benefit with Ghost-types is how varied their designs are, even with their very few members.
So again, what sold you to your favourite type?
