^ Here a synaesthete's impression of what each Pokémon type tastes like. (Note: I don't have lexical–gustatory synaesthesia in particular so I'm just making up stuff, like the people naming ice cream or perfumes.)
Normal: white bread; somewhat plain at first but turning sweet and malty the longer you chew Fire: a little bittle over-roasted and thus smoky cayenne peppers Fighting: onions caramelized with cinnamon spices Water: pine oil with slight lavender Flying: oddly flavourless besides being salty, but nonetheless as addictive as junk food Grass: sweet woodruff and elderflower, perhaps with a hint of mint Poison: soapy, yet simultaneously heavily fermented Electric: Intensely sour and fizzy, somewhere between sherbet and pure ascorbic acid Ground: roasted coffee with hints of sesame and pumpkin seeds Psychic: intense "bubble gum" flavour masking the bite of high-percent alcohol, almost like disinfectant; leaves a pineapple juice-like feeling on your tongue Rock: under-salted cooked mushrooms with a note honey, but nonetheless crunchy Ice: tastes like meringue but has the deceptive after-the-fact pungency of ginger Bug: dried, ground herbs, especially sage, ramson and green tea Dragon: passion fruit but unusually savoury; like a chutney served to something umami Ghost: Strong rosewater aroma with raisins and dried cranberries Dark: pickled plums and whole grain buckwheat, being exactly as satiating even in small doses Steel: basically exactly how coins smell Fairy: excessively sweet with some artificial flavouring that doesn't taste remotely like the berry it's supposed to be
It follows that trainers taste like their types plus how humans taste (i.e. sweat and dead skin). Whatever, I'm hungry now.
