>it's just the "pink type"!

No, less than 50% of Fairy Types are pink. Other Types like Fire or Water are far, FAR worse about the color = Type thing. You only bring this up because they're *specifically* pink. Because you have fragile masculinity and a tiny DICK, and anything that seems "gay" feels like a threat to you. Thus Fairy Types make you act like an insecure, irrational, hyper-defensive little fucking crybaby.

Yeah some of them are pink, get the fuck over it you pussy.

>fairy is too strong!

This one perhaps. But Water and Steel are inarguably more OP than Fairy is, and they have been since the very beginning.

You don't have the right to complain about Fairy being strong when Water and Steel are WAY more bullshit. This clearly isn't ACTUALLY about Fairy being strong. You clearly just DECIDE you hate Fairy Types first, and look for excuses after the fact. You're pathetic and embarrassing.

>fairy type doesn't even make any sense, it's not even consistent!

When we have Types like Ghost and Dragon, yes Fairy makes sense asshole. Fairy is literally one of THE most rich and thematically consistent Types in the game. The fact you're fucking STUPID and you can't figure out why something was given Fairy Type does not mean "they just slap it on anything randomly".

I just looked at the list of Fairy Pokemon, literally every single one has a very good reason to be Fairy Type except Azumarill (I know people say moon rabbit but I think that's kinda bullshit)

>FAIRY IS JUST THE FOOD TYPE

It's the SWEET Type. Fairies are "sweet" so they showcase this by making a few of them literally sweet. Also some of them have a fairy floss or similar pun.

Grow a dick. Fairy is completely fine as a Type, you just overreact to it because you have this absurd irrational hatred of girly-seeming shit. Grow up and be a man, actual strong men are secure in their masculinity and do not feel threatened by a pink fairy like you failures do.

there is nothing fairy about mega meganium. The only reason its fairy is because the isrealis who bomb children happen to like it and since Game Freak it their bitch, they had to promote meganium to shillmon

>>59141296
I hate it because it puts Ice types out of a job. Before the Fairy type, you'd use an Ice type to KO Dragon types. However, not only do Fairy types do that, they do it better, as they are immune to Dragon type attacks that Ice types aren't and putting Ice types out of a job.

It's dumb how fairy resists bug. If anything it should be weak to it.
>>
>>59141296
It's the metafag type
It has the best type matchups and all of its Pokemon are either part Psychic, Steel or Water just to make sure Poison and Steel types can't meaningfully do this one niche they've suddenly been handed. Most Dragon types are x4 weak to ice for a reason.

Fairy is too strong
It was fine in gen 6 when only dogshit pokemon were Fairy, but now that actually good pokemon are Fairy, it's obvious. They boiled the frog.

Fairy is also blatantly a meta type. It exists because they decided they needed to fix the type meta. There is no cohesive identity to the Fairy type, only at best 5 paragraph essays explaining that it's based on X so its good, when 99% of pokemon can have their typings explained with a single complex, two phrase sentence. Psyduck is water type because it is a duck, and ducks live in water. Magnemite is an electric type and a steel type, because it is an electromagnet, and electromagnets are machines that circulate lots of electricity.
Mawile is a Fairy type because it is the two mouthed woman, a mythical creature from japanese folklore. While a youkai isn't a fairy, and plenty of pokemon based on youkai are not also Fairy, including some monotypes, and shares none of the unifying characteristics of Fairy as a type as we use it to describe its interactions, it is a Fairy.

It is weak to shit types because they were shit types. It resists strong types because they were strong types. The interactions with Bug and Fire exist entirely because a type with literally only binary interactions was too obviously shit even by GFs subterranean standards, so they picked a resistance and a resisted by out of a hat.

These two issues are deeply related. Because Fairy doesn't interact with the type chart except with the highs and lows, it is an obscenely good type, for exactly the same reason Dragon was good before it. For the exact same reason Normal was the best type in gen 1.
Because Fairy is weak to only shit offensive types, it is strong defensively. Fairy existing did not make these types good at offense

I could give a shit less about the design of Faries, if it was CONSISTENT. I don't even mean 100% consistent, plenty of types have weird outlier pokemon. But for Fairy, that is the norm.

They really need to do a major retcon for all the typing matchups and even pokemons stats. They’d obviously fuck it up, but here so many little “wtf” things that should just be fixed.
>>
>>59141296
Explain to me what the Fairy type is, in a way that includes all the Fairy types, excludes all of the non-Fairy types, and does not mention the phrase "Fairy type".
You have an allowance of one included non-fairy line, and one excluded fairy line.
I'll do you one more solid, you don't even have to include the Paradox pokemon because their types are incoherent anyways.

Go

>you'd use an Ice type to KO Dragon types
*Water type with an Ice move

Besides, Ice types weren't pulling their weight with this mindset in mind because Dragon was only as dominant as it was because, guess what, Steel being the only type that resisted Dragons made it the new Geni I Normal type. Nobody talks about the real issue with Ice is that super effective doesn't fucking mean anything when every shitmon now has coverage. The most important part about BEING a type is its defensive utility, which Ice has no utility because it only resists itself

>some of the fairy mons I do like would have been more interesting with different types
Fukkin this
EVERY vaguely feminine pokemon has a fairy variant or mega proposed.
Milotic shouldn't be a fairy, it should be a dragon. Maybe a psychic. NOT a Fairy because it has long eyelashes.
>>
>>59141296
i would like it if
1. it had some more good designs (gen 8 actually has some i like how its fantasy creatures and not pink blobs)
2. it didnt resist bug (spiders trap fairies in their webs all the time), was resisted by ice (winter fucks up all of nature), and was weak to normal type (magic isint real stupid)
>>
>>59141296
dont hate fairy at all, but it encroaches a lot on psychic's purple/pink cutesy magic user space. that said that isnt exactly rare in pokemon, rock and ground have huge overlap as do to ice and water. fairy feels like parts of psychic and normal were just squished together. fairy might FEEL worse in part because those two types are generally underwhelming while fairy is easily in the top 3-5 types.

fairy was implemented kinda strangely, it was clearly designed to nerf dragons which is fine but steel just absolutely did not an offensive buff, it should be a dogshit offensive type for how cracked it is defensively. then again the type chart in general could use some touch ups, even though I generally prefer niche utility tweaks to types (like how dark and prankster interact or grass and powder moves) over brute force changes most of the time.

*bullet punches you*

>>59141583
>and was weak to normal type (magic isint real stupid)

I feel that psychic would be better. After all it's the "smart" type.
>>
>>59141296
Fairy is way more OP than Dragon ever was. The only reason why Steel is now OP is because Fairy is so dominant, so everyone uses Iron Head as a coverage move.
>>59141376
Ice should resist Grass and Steel should resist Fighting.
>>
>>59141593
>Fairy is way more OP than Dragon ever was
>Ice should resist Grass and Steel should resist Fighting
campaignshitter moment
>>
>>59141296
I don’t like fairy because it was created to check the dragon type, which makes no sense. Dragon is the final boss type, it being rare and strong was the whole point.
>>
>>59141593
Steel is still shit offensively. Look at the steel type moves, the BP, their accuracy, who’a actually allowed to get anything above 100BP. They don’t even have broken secondary effects like Dark does.
>Ice should resist Grass
At this point I’d accept anything
>and Steel should resist Fighting.
If steel resisted fighting it would be as broken as people think it is. Steel is in the cusp but because Fire, Ground, and Fighting are so broke offensively due to CHARIZARD, Earthquake, and Close Combat being everywhere, steel is kept honest
>>
>>59141578
For me it's more so that you can take the same designs most fairies have and better apply them to some other type
aromatisse for example would be a perfectly serviceable poison type without any real changes to its design, just lean more into how its expertise in stenches can be used to overwhelm or manipulate a body - a poison support would be a really cool fucking thing to have
>>
>>59141296
it's trans coded
>>
>>59141528
nah, mismagius has that weird wishy-washy fae nature. witches are also associated with fairy tales as well, so that aspect is kinda in the nebulous area between fairy and psychic
>>
>>59141296
Its shit because their "weaknesses" are shitty offensive types (steel and lolpoison)

Why does fairy resist fire anyway? Isn't fire a big weakness of myhological fae?
>>
>>59144048
You have it backwards, Fire resists Fairy. Though that’s only because zardbabies would throw a tantrum if mega Zard X got one shot by fairy types

I don't like fairy because it's almost strictly just a better psychic. I find half the time when I'm playing these games I just don't have an offensive steel or poison move, and both of those are kind of a waste to have on your pokemon besides the specific goal of beating fairies when they come up.
Like I guess you can take the uptrade in what fairy is SE against, but at least be weak to bug or psychic in return. WHY does it resist bug. Very poorly thought out kneejerk reaction to dragons dominating.
Design wise I guess it's fine. You could easily retcon a lot of fairies to psychic or normal but whatever.
>>
>>59144102
It's strichly better normal and psychic, actually.
>>
>>59144102
> WHY does it resist bug.
Because they needed some types to BTFO by fairy and Bug types are the types game freak values the least.
>Very poorly thought out kneejerk reaction to dragons
Game freak never thinks things through. They’re retards who don’t even want to make Pokémon but are too stubborn and selfish to hand the IP over to devs who aren’t faggots
>>
>>59144147
Because even if you hate your golden goose, why would you give it to someone else so THEY can profit off of YOUR ultimate brand recognition device?
I'm almost convinced they gave Champions to ILCA just to once again "prove" that only GameFreak can handle mainline Pokemon, including competitive, which is why the game launched in such an abysmal dogshit state.
>>
>>59141296
not enough of them look slightly unsettling. hardly any of them are worthy of being called fae. give me more shiinotics and less fidoughs.
>>
>>59144389
I just want an identity
Give us more pink blobs, more obscure yokai, more European myths, he'll even do what Pokémon Clover does and make Fairy the Food type
Just pick a lane...

Fairy is the best type in the game clearly, stop baiting.
