Bug now resists Poison and is strong against itself as well. Flying and Fighting no longer resists it, and Fairies are resisted by it now.

Is it better now?

Stop being retarded.
Fairy remains unbothered by boring teenage white boy type.

This and Volcarona and Scizor's usage will rise even more.

So, Bug is a type that shouldn't get an offense buff, just like Ice?

Not so much that. Current move distribution is a bit fucked, and bug was never really made out to be a defensive typing, so I think a better buff would be helping the bug pokemon that already exist by giving them better, exclusive moves, much like what GF seems to try to be doing with ice (unsuccessfully) by giving them access to moves like freeze dry and aurora veil.

Sticky web and fell stinger are already two good bug moves that have no distribution among other types. I'd say build on these.

There is literally no reason for ghost/fighting/fairy to resist bug as they are just concepts.

All three of them could be neutral to bug, and maybe make rock resist bug, that way rock gets slightly less awful defensively as well.

Why nerf poison? It makes no sense.

Birds > bugs, and bug and fighting resist each other while being super against dark because kamen rider.

kinda

if you buff ice's offensive capabilities you're only really buffing water.

wheras if you increase some of ice's resists and debuff its offenses, you successfully nerf water and give people reason to use ice types.

for example - ice loses type effectiveness against grass, but gains a grass and ground resist.

water loses its only real tool against grass types, effectively buffing grass, and giving a reason to actually have an ice type on your team.

Bug and Fighting resist each other because bug type in Japan low key means Kamen Rider and Fighting Type is Hero type. Kamen Riders are heroes, so neither type wants to harm the other. I'm with you on the rest though, and yes the fighting/bug resistance is dumb as shit.

Why would it resist poison? If anything I'd say make poison super effective against it again but buff its other defenses.
Since poison is used to kill bugs and pests in the form of pesticides.
Make it resist dark since bugs are simple-minded and are unaffected by trickery or evil.

You. I like you. Water is busted and Grass is horrendously underpowered, I'd accept Ice resisting Grass if it meant Grass types could actually fight a Water type and not get fucking blasted.

Why not Dark and Psychic? Bugs can be sneaky, you know.

Makes sense. Plants can endure winter, after all.
