Normal Type is also inferior to Dragon in almost every aspect - and you still use them.I agree. I haven't seen anything indicating that those rumours are 100% true yet.
Anyway, if Fairy is a genuine new type, well if it is SE against Dragon then won't that make Ice types pretty much useless?
I mean, the fact that Ice is currently the only type SE against Dragon (other than Dragon itself) kind of makes up for the fact that it has loads of weaknesses and generally poor defences; its cons are balanced out by pros. If the rumours about Fairy are all true, then we have a type with those same pros but without any of those major cons, which essentially makes Ice a completely pointless type.
A new type could have finally fully balanced out the type chart, but IF these rumours are true then it will just create more imbalance, which will annoy me -.-
Or, maybe I'm wrong and I'm missing something; if so, point out what please. :)
Dragon itself is not particualry strong (only SE vs. one type), its just that most Dragon Pokémons are BST 600 while there is no Ice Pokémon of 600 (except for regiice IIRC) which makes them pretty sucky in the long run.
I think nerfing an IMBA type is better than creating a new under balanced Type.
Just my two coins.
