mechanically Dark and Fairy are similar.
Both introduced to balance another type, while also given two other types something to be strong against.

Dark nerfed psychic, while buffing fighting and bug
Fairy nerfed dragon, while buffing poison and steel

Fire is the opposite to ice more than it is to water, at least the way GF does it.

Not counting hidden power because its type varies, no Fire type gets a single ice move and no ice type gets a single fire move (except rotom frost that gets willowisp).

Water types can occasionally get fire moves and vice versa, think slowbro and torkoal.

Ghost is a type very similar to dark, while psychic is a type very similar to fairy (except fairy is better). Ghost could be seen as psychic's opposite with dark as fairy's opposite, but fighting and poison could also be thrown in the mix depending on interpretation. Psychic is fighting's opposite with the "brains vs brawl" approach, poison is fairy's opposite with the "purity vs corrosion" approach, etc

Why would you possibly think fighting/ghost and not normal/ghost?

Fire also doesn't make a good opposite to Water because they're a rock-paper-scissors trio with Grass. For the same reason Fighting isn't Dark's opposite. They're part of a trio with Psychic.

Quoted By:

Fighting, Psychic, and Dark are the typical Fighter, Mage, and Thief trio

The Fighter is a physical powerhouse that specalizes in close-range combat, often has a weakness to magic

The Mage is a glass cannon that specializes in long-range combat

The Thief is a fragile speedster who relies on stealth
