We can all agree with >>>56456933 that the fairy type ruined pokemon and is a pointless thing added since nobody was asking for a dragon counter and that is a balanced type
>>
I'd be 100% okay with it if they made it weak to bugs. bug type needed help and GF refused to extend a hand. I will never forgive.
>>
>>56458488
People who make pointless hate threads just to spite harmless appreciation threads should be taken out back and shot.

>>56458488
nah dragon was broken after the phys/spec split ruined the game balance.
>>
>>56458488
Just say it: you can't train a Poison-type.

Fairy type is cool and having a counter to dragon is great but I miss when gardevoir and her evo line were pure psychic
>>
>>56458488
No, honestly the folklore based types are cool
>>
>>56458488
The problem wasn't that fairy type was added in an on itself, but that it wasn't properly balanced beyond being a nuke against dragons. GF could've called it the magic type, or the light type or the mystic type, and it would've done the same.

Fuck the fairy type and anyone who defended it.

why isn't Normal super effective against Fairy?
>>
>>56458503
>nah dragon was broken
Dragon-typing wasn't broken, Dragon-types were broken. There's a difference. No one was complaining about Kingdra or Druddigon.
>the phys/spec split ruined the game balance
No matter how hard you try to astroturf, no one will ever take this seriously.

Outrage and Draco meteor had built in drawbacks.

Nerf Moonblast to 90 BP and 20% chance to lower target's SpA
Remove its resistance to Bug
Optional: Give it a weakness to bug on the condition that U-turn is nerfed to 40 BP
Fairy is now fine,
>>
>>56458563
What u-turn needs is not a nerf to its BP, it to have it's distribution gutted to the ground like toxic and scald.

>One DECADE later and Dragoniggers are still crying about their 3edgy5u Boss-Type getting its first counter
Fairy types should jusr passively make all Dragon Types on the field take double damage or something
>>
You guys think fairy type is bad because it nerfed dragons for no reason?

How about when they tried for YEARS to nerf psychic and they just kept beating it down, down, down, down. What the FUCK is gamefreaks problem? Why do they make good types and then nerf them? It's like if a firefighter started a fire and then claimed to be a hero by putting it out. Are they trying to cause controversy for publicity? Psychic used to be so cool man. The original pink type.

It does manage to turn a thread into a steaming pile of shit however.
>>
>>56458698
How is pointing out Kingdra was unfairly nerfed insecure?
>>
Only glaring issue with Fairy is that nonsensical Bug resist. You know it is only there solely for U-Turn. Steel is the thing that is a massive mistake. Combinations like Fire/Steel and Fairy/Steel demonstrate the glaring flaw of the chosen resists and immunities
>>
>>56458488
>Not having a Pokémon with Steel/Poison moves
This is on you, anon. If anything, I only push the "make Bug SE against Fairy" idea, but thats it.
Poison and Steel moves are easier to get, so maybe find some covering.

You do know most Fairy type mons are either predominantly female or 100% female, right?
Hating Fairy type is like hating women, only Incels and Gays hate women.
>>
>>56458533
Balanced by only being resisted by steel types, which tons of dragons had ground/fire coverage for.
Outrage and Draco Meteor are ridiculously powerful, of course they had drawbacks, as does Close Combat, Overheat, High Jump Kick, Hyper Beam, Solarbeam, ect.

I don't remember anyone claiming Sylveon as a troon back in 2013. At most they memed about it being gay, but never really claiming it as a literal fag icon.
Trannies do love their historical revisionism though... and bringing themselves up every thread out of nowhere.

It absolutely was. You don't play the game.

Why would I care about the opinions of campaignshitters?

>>56459336
I'm sorry they been annoying for so long I forgot when they started.

>>56459265
The lack of SE hits balances out being only resisted by one type dumbass.

you don't play the game

Does dragon even struggle with fairy these days? Dragonfags got tons of behemoths this generation. Out of the trio (dark, fighting, dragon) I think only fighting really struggles and even then they can fight back pretty decently. Darkfags can definitely go toe-to-toe with fairy
>>
>>56458488
>WAAA WAA MY LOW RISK HIGH REWARD TYPE CANT DOMINATE THE GAME ANYMORE
shut up faggot
>>
vp used Outrage!
But it doesn't affect Fairies...
>>
>>56459358
They do. Having weaknesses to common attacking types negatively impact a Pokémon's performance.
>>56459360
Dragon Meteor gets weaker every time and Outrage locks you in and then confuses you. I played in gen 5 OU it wasn't as strong as you made it out to be. If you don't have anything that can outspeed or tank it that was on you.
>>
>>56459615
They should have just made better ice types.
>>
>>56458517
>Missing budget Alakazam
Fairy salvaged it gameplay wise
>>
>>56459674
>They do
They don't.

>Having weaknesses to common attacking types
Why would I care about weaknesses if I can KO everything because they can attack me?

>>56459674
>Dragon Meteor gets weaker every time
Doesn't matter if I get KOs wouldn't otherwise get
>and Outrage locks you in and then confuses you
Doesn't matter if I get KOs wouldn't otherwise get

>I played in [fanfic format where pokemon are conveniently banned]
How is this even slightly relevant to how GF balances the game?
>>
>>56459678
Making better Ice types doesn't address the reason why Gen 4-5 Dragon type is broken.
>>
>>56459813
They weren't that broken though. If you had a good ice special sweeper in OU that could Outspeed Latios everything would have been fine.
>>
>>56459809
Nigger you think weaknesses don't matter. STFU
>>
>>56459674
t. Latios
>>
>>56459831
>They weren't that broken though
They were that broken though.

>If you had a good ice special sweeper
Making a single good Ice type Pokemon doesn't address the issue that I can mindlessly click Outrage/Draco Meteor against virtually the whole fucking game and win for free.
