Z-A Reveals the Series’ Most Disappointing Type

Sure, here’s a reimagined version of the article:

So, I heard about this game, “Pokemon Legends: Z-A,” or maybe I saw a trailer. July, I think? Anyway, Nintendo’s rolling it out on October 16. It’s gonna be on the Switch. And, guess what? Also on the Switch 2. Didn’t even know that was a thing. But back to the game — Mega Evolutions are back, and there’s gonna be a bunch of them. Seems like 25 or something along with this epic Mega Dragonite everyone’s super hyped about. Got me thinking about the whole type situation in Pokemon, like what’s up with that Ice type?

Pokemon types, right? They’re like a big deal in battles. Some are strong, some are meh. You know the drill. So, they’re mixing it up with battles in this one, making them, like, more action-packed. Types still matter, though. But hey, Ice type is getting, I don’t know, the short end of the stick? Not as many Mega Evolutions, which kinda nails it to being the lamest.

Honestly, Ice type’s like that kid always picked last for dodgeball. Takes a beating from four types and doesn’t even dish out much. I mean, Bug/Ice combo? Yikes. Bugs are already weak and then add Ice? They’re basically asking for it. Ice doesn’t even have much going for it unless maybe you count super rare ones.

Then there’s this scoop — leaked, by the way. Twenty-six new Megas, and like, one Ice among them? Froslass. It’s Ice/Ghost, but hey, I’ll take it. Maybe Snorunt’s getting some love there, but still, it feels pretty meh for Ice types. We’re talking commitment issues here, for real.

So while Ice types like, sometimes shine — remember Scarlet and Violet’s Chien-Pao? — generally, they’re just stuck with three Mega Evolutions, like, across all the games. Sad. Unless these leaks are way off base, which they don’t seem to be since they nailed Mega Dragonite’s look — Ice type fans are in for, well, a chilly reception.

So, you’ve got these legendary games, and Ice types barely make a blip. Who’s even rooting for them? I guess we wait and see. Whether you’re into the icy ones or not, October 16 is gonna be wild with or without ‘em.
