>>37018438You're making a tremendous mistake tying the Freeze status to Ice-type Pokemon. Your complaint is with the defensive aspect of Ice-type Pokemon. You can have Magearna, a non-Ice-type, clicking Ice Beam and getting Freezes, among the vast majority of Pokemon that can learn Ice Beam. So yes, I stand by my point. If the Freeze condition only existed if used by an originally Ice-type Pokemon, at a higher rate, that would be a good advantage for Ice-types to have.
Again, Burn is very loosely tied to Fire. A huge portion of Ghost and Water-types are responsible for Burn being so prevalent.
And lastly,
>This logic is dumb as shit because freezing something IRL effectively kills it. It's already being very generous by allowing the pokemon to thaw out under certain conditions at all.You're coming from left field with that. I'm talking about giving it to Fire-types because there's already a precedent, which is why it's logical instead of giving Bug-types for example the capability to bypass Freeze.
