Python script to parse the above Source HTML into CSV R to manipulate data; ggplot2 for plotting
Includes Mega, and other Pokemon variations (which is why Kanto has 184, rather than 151). Type 1 and Type 2 are considered as two distinct counts.
The Region plots includes Pokemon that were originally introduced in that Region, and their variations (not all Pokemon that can be encountered in that Region).
Github Link (didn't have time to clean up these files too much (at work right now); sorry if they're a bit rough at the moment).
EDIT: Thanks for the feedback guys! I realize now that the dual-types, and the variations were a bit confusing and could have been better represented in the plots (apologies). I'm also thinking of creating a visualization for each type and how common they were as primary and secondary types, as well as type combinations.
The thing that sticks out to me is just how consistent it is that Water and Flying types are EVERYWHERE.
I only ever played Pokemon casually, and whenever I played a game, I felt like I was overloaded with crappy flying and water Pokemon. I always assumed that was because I wasn't taking time to look around very much, so I wasn't encountering the rarer Pokemon that I assumed had more exotic types. Turns out no, there really were just a shit load of water and flying types.

Never realized just how many poison types were in the original Kanto region
