>>23265174Since Ice is godly offensively, Gamefreak fears that having too many good STAB users of that type wouldn't be healthy for the game. Plus they probably wanted a logical type that can sponge Outrage spamming while having less exploitable weakness unlike Steel.
I welcome Fairy's existence though. Not because of it's purpose, but as a concept
since there was allready an egg group and pokemon named after that type. So it would seem logical to implement it to the series since appears that the type has been under the works for years.
