>>53388743Nope, false equivalence. The element of fire burning plants is an obvious cartoonish interaction that explains a resistance simply and easily regardless of if an ACTUAL Fire Type ACTUALLY burns up the plant matter. It's just a relationship that makes innate sense to us, because in real life mixing plants and fire results in the plants losing that interaction.
Your proposal of having Ice resist Water does not, because in real life water melts snow and ice on contact. There isn't a cartoonish elemental basis for saying the element of ice would resist the element of water, when in real life mixing water and ice results in melted.
The part you're getting wrong is you're claiming that an ACTION takes place, the action of freezing. You're saying Ice Types literally freeze Water Gun before it hits them, which is retarded. This isn't equivalent to Fire resisting Grass—clearly it would ALSO be retarded to claim Fire Types burn up plant matter before it hits them. But that isn't where the logic come from. It comes from combining fire and plant matter in real life resulting in the plant losing. When you mix water and ice in real life the ice loses. You're trying to add another layer on top of this, claiming that the action of freezing the Water Gun takes place before it hits the Pokemon, which is retarded and absolutely not the same line of thought that other Types get their resistences from
You're retarded
