If you could alter type effectiveness in the games, what would you change?
I'd mainly want to buff bug, maybe make it super effective against ground or something.

Fairy doesn't resist Bug.
Bug resists Fairy, Fire doesn't.
Ice resists Fairy.

There, fixed it.

I'd buff ice by taking away the weakness to fighting, making it resist water
The big issue I've always had is the "improvements" in move pools where most good sweepers have access to a fuckton of coverage. Removing powerful TMs and move tutors would be helpful for balance.

I don't know if it would be the best, but I always wanted it to be like this:
Water type is weak to poison type.
Ice type resists ground, water and flying types.
Fairy type doesn't resist bug and bug has resistance against fairies.

IF I SEE ONE MORE FUCKING AUTISTIC DROOLING RETARD MOUTHBREATHER SAY THAT ICE SHOULD RESIST WATER EVEN THOUGH WATER ****LITERALLY**** FUCKING MELTS ICE/SNOW ON CONTACT I SWEAR ON MY MOTHER'S EARLY TOMB I WILL CUT THE HEAD OFF A CAT AND WEAR ITS SKIN AS A FACE MASK

>but ice pokemon passively lower tempurature to the freezing point

THEN IT WOULD BE AN ICE TYPE ATTACK BY THE TIME IT REACHES THEM, FUCKING WOULDN'T IT

YOU'RE NOT "PASSIVELY FREEZING" A FUCKING WATER GUN OR A SURF

I KNOW MOST OF OUR GODFORSAKEN SPECIES HAS NEVER ACTUALLY SEEN REAL SNOW BUT I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOU'D GRASP THE SHOCKING CONCEPT THAT WATER IS WARMER THAN ICE AND THEREFORE MELTS IT HOLY SHIT-FLINGING CHRIST ALMIGHTY

This is fine and makes sense logically (even though it buffs water types with ice beam more than actual ice type).

Rocks crumble away and leave gritty dirt in the water. Strong winds can blow water out of place. Metal just goes sploosh and sinks.

That's all I would do personally. I feel like doing crazy shit like introducing new types (looking at Fairy and Steel here) does way more damage than it does good in the long run so just slight tweaks are enough for me
