Well, then Bulbasaur is the only Pokemon that doesn't follow the earlier mentioned rule.
Now that i'm thinking about it, it is kinda weird and I don't really remember paying attention to Dual Types in Gen I either. Then again I was a stupid little kid at the time.
Speaking of Parasect, did you guys know that Paras and Parasect are the only pokemon in the series to have an 5x type weakness? with the Dry Skin ability they take 2x from Fire for being Grass, 4x from being Bug and then it is increased because of the ability.
I find bits of trivia like that really interesting, I often browse Bulbapedia to see the ideas behind certain pokemon and where they originated from.
EDIT: 5x, not 8x, woops. I think 5x is the cap.
