I think we should add ice as a type tha will make characters water element. Just a thought.
EDIT: I think ghost should make them shadow element, also.
;_; Do you have any idea how much work it will take to get all accepted chars with ice or ghost as neutral element accepted again?
Somebody has suggested this one before, I think, as this was the reason they didn't change it. O.o Agree with you though.
I didn't see it in the suggestions forum. Anyway, I didn't think about that part. ><;;
Check out the new Analysis of Elements topic. It explains the close bond shared by Ice and Water (and when done will do the same with Dark and Ghost), but also explains why they aren't actually part of that Element.
Besides having to redo all the otherwise neutral characters, it also presents the problem of having to come up with more species for all the other lands to keep the number of normally accepted species even.
