Why do they do this? It's not like ice-types are incredibly powerful and would steam-roll everything early on in the game.
Most places that have a cold climate are hard to access and/or far away from civilisation, such as mountain peaks, caves, and tundras.
Pokemon games always start you off in "Mario area 1-1" style areas, very gentle sub-rural villages, which then branch off to more extreme enviroments. It would be strange if after 2 routes you encounter a snow-cloaked forestunless they fucking bring back seasons goddamnit

Yes faggot.

Even in DP/Pt, which are in Sinnoh which is by far the coldest region in the games so far, the first ice type you can get is Snover, right before the 7th gym.

Are you?
>>25565484
In platinum its just snowing atm
YOU CAN CATCH 0 ICE TYPES IN THE STARTING VILLAGE
>>25565489
I know. That wasn't the question I was replying to.
But if you want an early ice type, then there's always Vanillite.

I wouldn't call after fourth gym early, more mid-game.
>>25565483
>There are more Ice-types available in RSE than DP
I knew the Sinnoh Dex was shit in DP but this is ridiculous.
>>25565482
>>25565451
less than 1/4 of the ground in Twinleaf is covered in snow
"faggot"
>>25565535
Don't forget that despite there only being one surf route pre-e4, there are almost as many water types in DP as there are in RSE
>>25565535
>>25565546
And the DP dex has 150 Pokémon while the RSE one has 202. Makes those two facts even more ridiculous.

>this
>ice gym is also always really far into the game
I think GF overestimates the power of ice types
>get eevee really early in the game in BW2
>can't get glaceon until you beat the game without trading
So, is RBY the gen one can catch ice types the earliest?
>go to Saffron after clearing Celadon and receive a pretty good one
>or, go to Fucshia, win badge and now can catch at the very least two others, one of them legendary
>>25566151
Yes, RBY were the least linear of all the games.

That's only because RBY were fairly non-linear. Seafoam Islands was still pretty much at the end of the game. Although I guess you could catch a Shellder as soon as you get the Super Rod as well.
