Did ice types exist JUST to be an offensive counter to dragon-types?
Seems pretty fucking useless other than that.

Ice is meant to be a glass cannon type but GF keeps making Ice mons that can't actually do that job well

The type exists for water to be even more OP with super effective coverage for types that resist it

dragon type only exists to give ice and fairy a type advantage.
Seems pretty fucking useless other than that.

Ice is a very common element in video games and especially RPG
that's like asking if Ground exists just to counter Electric types

Ice is a fantastic offensive typing, but 90% of the Pokemon are built like ass.
Needs more Mamoswine, Weavile, Darmanitan, and Ninetails-A

people need to remember Pokemon's original roots as a JRPG. not a competitive e-sport supported by a fanfic meta.

Types only became a thing halfway through development. A lot of Pokémon were assigned types retroactively instead of being designed with a specifically with a type in mind. Ice exists because articuno exists. Articuno exists because of the Fire/Thunder/Ice triad jrpg archetype exists

Smogon barely supports it, there's significantly more players using Gamefreak's official rules. Know what you're talking about before you run your mouth or you're gonna end up hung from a tree one day.

Ice is actually a really good offensive type.
The only problem is that it's shit on the defensive side, and GF insists on Ice mons being slow and bulky.

Fire and Ice should be mutually weak to each other.

The fact that hazard control is so mandatory is kinda proof that hazards are broken.

Nice try, smoggie. But chess matches don't literally revolve around the pawn because some neckbeard in ancient times decided that he really likes pawns and wanted to alter the game in such a way to fit his pawn fetish.

You can fix Ice by making it resist Flying and Dragon.

I could also argue Water should be weak to Ice

Ice clearly isn't meant to be a glass-cannon type, if Game Freak keeps making slow, bulky Ice-Types. They just believe shitty resistances will be made up for with high defensive stats

All Ice Pokemon should be euthanized to stop the suffering, y/y?
