Well, they originally made dark type moves special while most dark type mons at the time were physical attackers, and they redeemed themselves in gen IV. Maybe they'll do the same with the ice type? It needs a handful of new resistances IMO, since no matter how much of a good attacking type it is, is almost preferable to use ice without the STAB rather than having your mon die to everything. If ice resisted water and flying, with only those two it would be already more bearable. If it resisted water, flying, grass and ground (and itself ofc) as I always believed it should, it would be a fairly better defensive type: mamoswine, for example, would hae only three weaknesses to fighting, steel and fire, since the rest would cancel each other out.
Rock, grass and bug are three other types that have been very mistreated as well. Rock's amount of weaknesses doesn't compensate enough to use it defensively. Just imagine if rock resisted bug, ice, itself and electric, it would be so much better, and things like water/rock corsola or rock/flying aerodactyl would find themselves with less weaknesses.
Grass is the worst starter type and that's unfair. More weaknesses than resistances, compared to water and fire, both decent defensive types, is pretty bad. If grass resisted rock and took neutral damage from flying (as more birds use trees rather than eat them, and the seeds they eat aren't actually digested), that would already be something huge for the poor type.
And bug, as much as I love fairy types, should be made resistant to fairy. Dunno if super effective against (I'd preffer them to be weak to fire tbh), but resistant, hell yes. If bug resisted psychic, ghost, dark and fairy it would get an incredible boost (also, a single-minded bug should be almost indifferent to the power of mind, spirits, evil or magical beings; they're all for SURVIVAL!!).

EDIT: oh my god I'm not having any of the luck today. I take too long to write -.-
I'm sorry for asking again but, could some admin delete this? Don't even merge it, just erase it, I'm tired of double posting today...
