    I generally think of fire when I think of magma, in the same way that I expected Lava-bending to be a Fire-bending art.

    Though I guess the former makes more sense to be at Ground, or at least Fire/Ground, considering magma is used to describe the earth itself. Though you would think, under those circumstances, Aqua wouldn't have any problems.

    Surprisingly I only recently found out that Groudon is Pure Ground-type. So this could indicate that Team Magma is in fact a ground based team..

    I'm in the same boat, Hoenn. Or at least, I always forget.

    But the change does work for a nice bit of balancing, and it makes sense as well. After all, what is magma without fire, really? Dirt? (That said, this change does make Kyogre more of a threat, I really don't see why Aqua has trouble with Magma). Though...when you think about it, this makes a lot more sense in terms of lore. If it were just Ground, the whole "Groudon and Kyogre create Continents" deal wouldn't really make sense considering there's no real duality between Earth and water and, in a real life sense, water and ground would basically simply lead to corrosion, as opposed to Fire and Water (or Lava/Magma and Water), which actually create land.

    ...Though I guess if one were to argue Earthquake it could work out, but even then, no real need for duality.

    Primal Groudon's divine power of ****ing sunshine does render all water attacks utterly and completely useless, though. Not so easy to sprinkle it to death any more. :P

    Ironically that does mean its only practical weakness is Ground.

  • Surely no crazier than Faroe Islands winning an official real football match, away (their first one in 19 years), against a former European Champion.

  • 223206. Not that crazy, but a historical bottom feeder team that has been enigmatic and mediocre this season upset a team that was in the hunt for the national title on the 8th. Plus a several other games that disrupted the national title race.
