>>31745954The thing about Water is that it's a great defensive type and it's tied to a ton of bulky 'mons
On top of this it's one of only a handful of types that's truly great at both offense and defense.
And I guess it's pretty normal at this point to just have lots of shit in the game be structured in a way that makes their strengths back up each-other this hard.
Still, if we weren't dealing with the gen 6 power-creep, I would wager water should at least lose its resistance to ice, which never even made sense in the first place.
I'm not an expert if that wasn't obvious, so I can't claim to have a solution.
