Does this mean that evolution will take normal damage from Fairy and Ice now, and double from only ground and rock?
Yep.

Even better, it's STAB moves, similar to Reshiram's, are only going to be resisted by a single Pokémon currently in existence, a Heatran with Flash Fire (actually, Reshiram's Blaze Aura negated Flash Fire, but Mega Charizard won't have that benefit).

Of course, this will change if they pair Fairy with any Fire-Resistance type. But Fairy itself doesn't resist Fire. And that still means only 4 possible combinations to resist Mega Charizard-X's STABs. Fire-Fairy, Water-Fairy, Rock-Fairy, and Dragon-Fairy. And I'm seriously not expecting a Dragon-Fairy combination, as they were invented as the anti-dragon. But maybe GameFreak will surprise me.

Although, since the evolutions seem to be based on the stone they carry, the Mega-Evolutions don't look to be game specific. The stones might be only available in one game, but if a Pokémon can hold them, they can probably be traded. So I'll happily transfer the stones over and get access to both for direct comparisons. Not to mention that would give me an extra edge in my opponent not knowing which I would Mega Evolve it to. If it works.
