Pokémon X and Pokémon Y

Ice is good against Dragon, Flying, and Grass, bro!
But yeah I see watcha mean.

Still, look at little Froakie, see that white thing on his back? And his hands? They look like a scarf and gloves. Like he's meant to be ice!

Ice is such a bad type defensively that it's better to have a different type Pokemon that knows Ice moves :/
