It sucks because it'd be a pretty cool type (at least for uniqueness), but it better not be a stupid icicle. That's the epitome of lame IMO.Another thing about the rumors that I think is a horrible idea is the Fire/Ice type. Seriously, if it's true, is that the best they could come up with? An icicle with flames around it? I hate to be that guy that hates all the new Pokemon, but come on. Maybe it's just a case of "describing a Pokemon in mundane details makes them all sound retarded".
Even competitively Fire/Ice isn't that awesome. 50% stealth rock sucks, plus it gets owned epically by bulky waters...I cannot imagine a Fire/Ice learning electric or grass moves, unless its theme was lasers or something :P It'd be cool to have, though.
