Yeah and it also wouldn't hurt to give ice just one more resistance.

Pretty sure ice being perpetually lovely is Gamefreak's own personal joke at this point.

The only type change I wanted to see was making fairy no longer resist bug.

Cause really, come the gently caress on.

At least, bug should be strong against fairy because something something fairy tale something something secret garden

but in a lot of fairy tales pixies and such use bugs as labor animals. fairies are the masters of bugs.

But fairies being weak to something so mundane as bugs is cook thematically
So why the hell did they add another weakness to bug. Bug loving sucks almost as bad as ice

What'chu got against Poison?

Water should definitely get nerfed, and Ice and Poison definitely need defensive and offensive buffs respectively.

We've heard your complaints about Knock Off, and don't worry, to fix it we've given every type its own Knock Off variant.

Given that Fairy's whole reason for existing was because of how Dragon types were overpowered in Gen V...

Ice is still a good offensive type, but Ice type Pokemon weren't true counters to Dragons because most of those Pokemon had tools to counter them.

Ice was the long time dragon-killing element because any fast unit with a move like ice beam would gently caress up units like Dragonite.

...then fairy-type was added.

Extreme Speed Dragonites are still awesome though. :black101:

I had no problems with the demo on my old 3DS XL. Pokémon doesn't play that. They want to get their games into the hands of as many people as possible.

Most dragon types are still 4x weak to ice rather than fairy. This means ice is a really good attacking type. Of course, there's nothing stopping other pokemon from using ice moves. So its this situations where a lot of pokemon want moves of the ice type but nobody actually wants to be an ice type.

I'm pretty sure Gamefreak made it so that playing it on a N3DS makes it less janky. The scary part is, it doesn't fix all the technical issues. I still get a bit of lag and hiccups on my N3DS, but not as much as I've seen others getting on their OG 3DSes.
