Yeah, because unlike fire there isn't another type that commonly runs fire moves and on top of that fire has unique resistances that are good to have.

Also there are three ice type lines in Hoenn, not two.

For some reason a lot of people (especially normalfags) think that you always need to have a fire type. I get why, it's "cool" and one of the primary types so it feels mandatory for a lot of people. But it really isn't, in fact in Sinnoh Staraptor being a powerful flying type with access to Close Combat was basically designed to fill this niche in the cold region with few fire types, but people seem to miss this. Plus warm tropical Hoenn has the same fire type issue, but nobody complains about that nearly as much, it's strange.

That's some real nitpicking there.

Also technically there are also 3 Fire types in the Sinnoh dex

I agree that hoenn should've tried to maybe slip sneasel or something into the dex but honestly the reason everyone hates the way Sinnoh did it is because the way they did it is worse.
One of them was a starter, meaning most of the time there was actually only 1 line, and that one line was Ponyta and Rapidash, who are pretty boring and a kanto mon. In contrast, Hoenn gives you a choice between 2 Lines, both of which are new and interesting pokemon, and both of them are decent additions to your team should you choose to add them. Ice types are already late game and rare too, so the fact that they're so rare is less noticeable too. Want proof? There are less ice types in sinnoh than fire types, yet no one ever mentions of complains about it. Same can be said for dragon too for that matter, unless you count legendaries.
Basically, most people like to build a fire water grass core for their team but people are used to ignoring the rare and late ice types.

Nope. its regional dex only has two. Hoenn's regional dex has three Ice type lines.

Take your pick, it's decent variety as far as fire types go, probably the best variety until maybe gen 5

Yes, because 1. Regice is in the regional dex and 2. Regice can be caught before the E4.

Sinnoh is so fucking retarded that if you didn't pick Infernape there's literally only one Fire type option.

If it's in the post-game then everything about the regional dex stops mattering anyway and you can just transfer whatever in, retard.

There are a lot more examples, though your one brain cell wouldn't allow to do any basic form of research on your own to find out.

>>44601885
This. The fact that Sinnoh lives rent free in so many peoples head and they need to cherrypick flaws like "m-muh fire types!!!" is very hillarious.

Holy shit this is peak retard. The entire damn point of criticizing type availability is because people wanna team build during the actual game. That's like saying people are wrong when they say BW only have unova mons available for team building because you can get other pokemon in the post game

Ice types are garbage, people rarely add them to their teams.
Regardless, Regice was an Ice-type legendary so that's as good as it possibly got back then.

You're a retarded scrub who doesn't really care about teambuilding if you're using a legendary mons on your team, and you're just looking for reasons to let Sinnoh live rent free in your head.

That's actually 4 evo lines. It was Gen 6 that only introduced 2 Ice evo lines, but there were old ones in the dex.

Technically you CAN opt out of having a fire type if you don't mind every bronzor encounter to be a slog.

Platinum was the most easily predicted third version, since you had three uninterrupted generations of precedent before it and it was before Game Freak started throwing curveballs like Black 2 and White 2, Fucking and Nothing, and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
