It makes no sense.

Water melts ice retard.
It does it slowly but it still does it
Ice doesn't resist SHIT
Ice doesn't resist anything
The only thing it exists for is STAB.
Have you ever blown a glacier?
>>26362731
water still gets cold when it has ice in it you dongus
water 2x > ice sure but it sure as shit shouldn't resist it
Ice doesn't resist anything
>>26362704
Ice type is just a meme.
It will never ever be fixed.
>>26362731
>slowly
Then it should not matter.

Water doesn't melt ice, temperature does. Because regular water is always going to be warmer than ice, ice in water usually melts.
However, because saltwater has a lower freezing point, seawater actually slows the rate of ice melting; water itself also maintains temperature much better than the atmosphere, so water loses and gains heat much slower than air. These are both reasons that icecaps can even exist.
The fact Ice-types can remain frozen regardless of where they are, implies they are capable of lowering the temperature around themselves. As such, upon contact water would freeze and only reinforce the ice of the Pokemon.
So, Ice-types resisting Water is as sensible as Water resisting Water.
Rock isn't weak to ice?
Bug isn't weak to ice?
Ice doesn't resist fairy?
Rock is neutral to rock?

Why would Ice resist Fairy?
>>26362704
>ice type will always only resist itself
>ice type will always be second banana to fairy for dealing with dragons
>ice type will always be the WORST type
There's no reason for this

The Ice-Water relationship is tricky.
You could have a reasonable argument for either of those having the advantage over the other, but it would either make Ice even more of an offensive force, which it doesn't need, or ruin it even more.
Best case would be to have Ice resist Water and that's it, but GF decided to go the other way

getting cold =/= getting frozen
ice doesn't freeze water

Aquatic animals live in cold temperatures.
>>26362831
Why not just remove the weakness, and have them neutral to each other.
>>26362831
Every 'relationship' is tricky when you think about it enough.
obamasnow was the best pokemon to set on fire
>>26362846
I don't understand why it's not a mutual resistance.
Ice is water and water is ice.

Water and Ice are the special equivalent to Ground and Rock with some tweaks. Both are essentially the same element, but Water and Ground are better defensively while Ice and Rock are better offensively; Water resists Ice, and Ground is super effective against Rock.
