>>16241577Going to cover those points:
>Ice outclassesNo arguing there. Jesus fuck Ice needs SOMETHING!
>Poison buffed, but steel also super effectiveWell, mythology wise, Fae are weak to iron, and steel is the closest Pokemon has. Either way, Poison attacks also have a tendency to poison things, so it has that advantage over steel attacks
>FightingFighting is a pretty good type, so I think it also helped to nerf it a little bit
>BugPoor bug, may it rest in peace
>DarkI honestly can't get this from a balance OR mythology perspective. Balance wise... Dark needs BUFFS more than anything. Mythology wise, uh, Fae ARE dirty fighters and pranksters. If anything, Dark should RESIST fairy as they'd know all the tricks in the book
>Steel's nerfsGhost makes some sense, but Dark is dirty fighting. How the fuck does Steel NOT resist that?
And even ignoring that, oh wow, they made Dark and Ghost hit the same type for neutral. What a surprise. Not like they'd ever consider making the types OFFENSIVELY DIFFERENT!
