But water is just the hotter state of ice. Snow and ice generally melt in the real world if you pour water on them.
>but there are specific instances where this is not the case.
Okay well yes that is true. But on a normal day and in completely average, generically commonplace battle conditions, it really doesn't make any sense that mixing water and ice together would result in the ice winning that battle. Given regular conditions, ice doesn't like coming into contact with water. It melts it.
>yes but pokémon are magic, and ice types emanate coldness and freeze things around them.
Alright now THIS makes a lot of sense, and is probably the most persuasive fact behind the idea of Ice potentially resting Water. However, if your defense is that Ice Types are freezing the water before it hits them, then in that case a Water Type move is no longer water before it hits them, it's ICE. And Ice Type already resists Ice.
There's also the case of something like Surf or Hydro Pump. No way is the Ice Type freezing all of THAT before it hits them, they're clearly going to get hit by liquid water. Which is warmer than ice, and carries the Ice Type's heat away from its body, weakening it. I'm not arguing Ice should be weak to Water, but the thought that Ice should resist Water is kinda nonsensical
>BUT IF YOU PUT A GLASS OF WATER IN THE FREEZER-
Can we just stop saying Ice Type should resist Water PLEASE I'm BEGGING you to see reason and be rational /vp/, it doesn't make any goddamn sense. Bucket of water + snowman = dead snowman.
