"Normal" sounds so average and bland - unlike the other types that reflect a distinct personality, it doesn't say anything. Like with Normal type Pok?mon, the name actually makes me think of them as being somewhat boring
How words can shape our perception is noticeable when looking at other translations. German AC uses "athletic" for the jocks, "mature" for uchis and "balanced" for normals. All three paint a very different picture in my opinion (though not for better or worse necessarily)
I'd be curious to see others opinions on this!
