I’ve been thinking that Ice types really need to change up their game. They always seem to be introduced late in the Pokémon games, and honestly, they aren’t even that special! Sure, they can handle Dragons, but so can Fairies, and Fairies are available much earlier. Ice types have lots of weaknesses like Fire, Steel, and Fighting, which makes them hard to use effectively in battle. What do you all think — should Ice types be made more common and less weak?

Wholeheartedly agree on this! Ice types shouldn’t feel underwhelming due to their late-game distribution. They definitely deserve more attention and buffs. Maybe even be made super effective against Fire?? That would spice things up!
Yeah! If they resist Water too, that’d be a game changer for Ice types. It just feels unfair the way they’re treated now.
I totally agree! Ice types should be treated like Bug types in earlier generations. Remember how Bugs had their moment in Gen 5? Ice definitely needs that kind of love, especially since many don’t hold up defensively. They just need better moves and some more availability throughout the game!
I hear you! If they buffed Ice types and gave them a wider pool of strong moves, they could be a lot better. Like, let’s get some ice pivots in there!
Exactly! We need more speedy, hard-hitting Ice types like Weavile to make Ice viable again. Instead of bulky, slow ones that just get taken out by Fire moves!
I think a big issue is that Ice types are often tied to snowy environments, which are typically late-game. If we had more areas accessible early on that fit Ice types, it would help balance things out!
For sure! Imagine having an icy forest area right at the start? It could change the game completely!
Or just give us a snowy region from the get-go, like Pokémon Unbound! That way we can use Ice types right away.
Oh man, that would be cool! I think swapping some weaknesses for resistances would make them way cooler too. Ice needs some love!
