A simpler discussion this time. The question is whether the categories "Fire plants" and "Ice plants" should in fact be called "Fiery plants" and "Icy plants". The thing to note here is that we do not really know how the game refers to these plants. We have Fire Peashooter, but plant names were always a choice of the designers and developers, so we should not rely on that.

In cases like this, we usually invent our own term to describe these plants. In this case, "Fire plants" is used to describe plants like Snapdragon, Pepper-pult, Torchwood... However, isn't "Fiery plants" more desired. "Fire" is a noun and a verb and I do not think using it as an adjective is particularly correct. The same goes for "Ice" and "icy." We also have "Thawing plants", but I do not think that it replaces the need for this category. Not to mention that plants like Jalapeno or Devil Jalapeno are not thawing plants according to the usual definiton.

Note: The "Ice/Icy plants" category currently does not exist. There used to be a "Freezing plants" category, but it had inaccurate articles attached to it. It has since been split into "Immobilizing plants" and "Slowing plants". It is only fair that the ice-based plants also have their respective category. I created "Chilling plants", but it was deleted by Someone456 as it was purely a subcategory of "Slowing plants". "Ice/Icy plants", I think, would describe the plants better, as it would include both slowing and immobilizing plants.
