That wouldn't be enough to nerf dragons. A new type was needed.

Fairy was there to complement steel too.
They wanted to balance it out by nerfing it's dark/ghost resistance, but didn't wanted to fuck it up too much and gave it some offensive precense.

Also poison buff

Well we're here now. Worst types are Ice, Grass and Rock. Best course of action is to add Light which would be resisted by them and good against some of the good types and see what happens.

If that doesn't work out we can add more types from there.

If they had given Ice some more resists (resists to Dragon, Water and maybe Ground) then it would have given a lot more Pokemon the chance to shine.

Dragons weren't that broken as a type, the problem is that a lot of dragon-types had insane stats. Things like Altaria, Druddigon and Flygon weren't ever close to being broken. Weather was far more broken in gen 5.

>poison buff
Everything just now runs Gunk Shot as a coverage move. Poison types are the new Ice-types, they're rendered obselete by coverage moves.

>Water
Have you ever put Ice under a tap? Ice should resist Grass and Flying, maybe ground, before anything else.

>>25883853
Have you ever watched Titanic? Ice should be super-effective against Steel before anything else.

>>25883847
Poison-types still only have one weakness defensively and a decent amount of resistances. They're nowhere near as bad and never were.

>Ice under a tap

Putting ice in water in analogous to using an Ice attack, not Ice being attacked. What you're looking for is "throwing a glass of water onto an ice rink," or "throwing boiling water into frigid winter air", which make it incredibly obvious why Ice should resist water.

Desu Dragons should be buffed.
I say we start with an immunity to Fairy types
