Empoleon should have been Water/Ice.
First, it's a freaking penguin, known for mostly inhabiting extremely cold areas. Second, it breaks the apparent theme (intended or not) which allowed all Sinnoh starters to have an edge against their superior.
Grass/Ground --> Fire/Fighting --> Water/STEEL? (Two weaknesses from Torterra).
I hope it's retconned one day. Probably won't, but this typing triggers me the most.
>>29523731Agreed. If they hadn't abused that typing, it would have been great.
