make sense of the resistance type chart.
Why does fire tank fairy, why does electric resist steel and not the other way around? Why doesn't fighting resist ice. WHY DOES GHOST RESIST BUG???

The Pokemon Type Chart is an unhappy compromise between gameplay balance and story logic, resutling in something that doesn't work for either camp.

Can you give me feedback for improving my own romhack's type chart?

The concept of Fighting resisting Ice Type because of the concept of martial artists training to resist the cold is something I have never fucking considered until now but holy shit I love the idea. The pink haired girl in Gen 4 was doing exactly that

Even if you haven't trained yourself to resist the cold, a Fighting resist to Ice still makes sense cuz all the physical activity the Fighting Type does warms up their body. Like how people jog when it's cold out to warm themselves up. I fucking love the idea of Fighting resisting Ice actually

I'm not scanning every fucking column homie you have to color code the ones that are different from vanilla

Those changes are quite stupid, but I see the logic, unfortunately. It'd be better if ice had a chance to convert to water if subjected to too much fire, rather than fire being directly weak to ice.
There's no solving rock being weak to flying, though.

>>58549965
Also, for what it's worth, ice is a mineral, and it's one of the weaker minerals out there. It'd be like throwing dense foam at someone who has skin as hard as rock.
>>
When things are too balanced it becomes boring. So add a new typing (esp since you combined rock and ground) call it cosmic with an elo of 3000.
>>
>>58549429
I thought about making Fire and Ice weak to each other.

I'm stealing Fighting resisting Ice. Fighting deserves it, it's super effective on Ice anyway.
>>58549973
Can't do that but I could colour code the columns based on type.

>>58549976
Air beats Earth. Or rather Flying beats Rock.
>>58550019
Sure, for Arceus only. But its ELO would really only be about 2600.
