Ice Type SHOULD NOT resist Water Type attacks. Water melts snow and ice.>but ice types freeze water....Yeah, offensively. When using offensive attacks. But if they're not currently using an Ice Type offensive attack, then incoming water attacks are not going to miraculously passively freeze (or would do so rather slowly I guess). What SHOULD happen is that Water Type should be weak to Ice Type attacks. And along with that, Water Types lose common access to Ice Beam.
water melts ice because it's warmer. but ice types are naturally cold, and exude cold, so they are less affected by this.
>>56222436Which is why Ice shouldn't be weak to Water, which would be the case if Ice Types didn't exude coldness. Since they do a neutral relationship is appropriate, but it absolutely doesn't make any goddamn sense for Ice to resist Water and I'm tired of morons parroting this 2 IQ opinion all the time
