They do that with a lot of gyms. In real life, it wouldn't make sense. These games cater to little kids, though. I doubt a child in a real life pokemon world could beat most of the gym leaders and the Elite Four/Champion who have been in their positions for years and have trained even longer that. And the government in a real pokemon world would've handled Team Rocket long before Red came along but he gets to do to it because that makes the child whose playing feel powerful.

Gym is also adjacent to an ancestral dragon’s den. Obviously the wild dragons never had a problem with nearby ice types.

Anon, it's like this for a lot of gyms. You can catch Oddish/Bellsprout before facing Misty, Diglett's Cave before Surge, that short route leading into Celedon that has Growlithe or Vulpix before Erika, you hit Lavender Town before facing Sabrina (in theory, despite them being part Poison and the problems with Ghost attacks in Gen 1), Blaine being on an island surrounded by Water types...
It was intentional.

Have you not considered the idea that the Pokemon League intentionally positions gym leaders in towns that have pokemon nearby that can help trainers have a fighting chance?
Earning gym badges after all is a test, and as Origins shows us gym leaders have different teams for different levels, meaning the facilities at hand have to be beginner friendly too.
Consider this, Viridian city gym is in a place with numerous types to reflect the gyms nature of having numerous types. Likewise the Normal type gyms are usually placed in spots with numerous types available.

At least her ace was a Kingdra, which isn't weak to ice.

Well that's true and not true. The overworld is harder in the sense that there's some light puzzle solving to clear areas. Versus newer games where there's nothing at all. For the actual battles the games are easier but mostly because battling was fucked up back then. Even the biggest genwunner doesn't really want to go back to gen 1 mechanics.

Good for you. You still have people to this day bitching about Whitney as if she murdered their dog despite the fact that there were several in game ways to stomp her without grinding. But I guess you can claim whatever you want. I beat Gen 1's E4 using only a Magikarp.

Well they were. I dislike doing the Victory Road shit every game but that's because I've done it a million times. But I still don't like the idea of Victory Road being a literal walk in the park like it was in Alola.

It's mostly because Pokemon's world is a utopia. Giovanni is probably what a mafia boss would look like in Pokemon's world and it turns out the worst thing he's allowed to do is abuse animals. Which is harrowing in Pokemon's world since it's a place where Pokemon is universally loved. By every human.

This is explained. The Fighting dojo used to be Saffron's main gym. Sabrina and her gang of Psychics beat the shit out of them and left their old gym in the new gym's shadow.

To be fair the strongest ice pokemon in the ice path is lv24. Her pokemon are 37-40, and her Kingdra is only weak to dragon types. With leveling in gen II it would be easier to just grind your starter than it would to level up an ice type at that point.
Surge on the other hand has his strongest pokemon at lv 24 while dugtrio can be found at lvs 29-31.

In any case, >>35625645 has it right. You are going to be surrounded by nature, so there's going to be at least ONE strong element pokemon living in an area near a gym
