Yeah, people who wanted to give bug super-effective against fairy are competitive brainrotted. Match-ups need to make sense. If you want to give bug more offense, make it SE against electric types (computers get bugs)

In mythology and many fairy tales (a big inspiration for fairies), fairies and adjacent species are often at war with, or fall prey to bugs.

Their weaknesses to steel and poison are also fairy tale references.

Yeah. Plants are nature. Bugs can destroy them.

Why don’t Fairies resist Grass? They resist Bug because of riding Bugs or whatever, but Fairies are literal nature spirits and are always involved with greenery. Why is there no type involvement between the two?
>>

Correct

Because the fairies were too strong, or they felt a need to take creative liberties.

>>59345815
Hmm. Good point

>>59345819
It literally happens in nature. Some species of bugs eat and destroy some species of plants to the point of endangerment or extinction.
>>
>>59345838
>[nature] eats and destroys [nature]
Glad we agree Fairy should have an advantage against Bug.
>>
>>59345668
Okay then make Fairy weak to Fire
>>
>>59345850
Fire occurs naturally.

If Fire was mostly themed around man made fires, then yes it would make sense to make Fairy weak to it.
>>
>>59345848
No? I just said that bugs destroy plants. Not fairies. In some stories fairies befriend bugs, on others they're bitter enemies. If anything they should be weak to each other.
>>
>>59345861
>No? I said [nature] destroys [nature]
Yes, so we agree the representation of nature (fairies) should have an advantage against nature (bugs)
>>
>>59345860
Metal and Poison occur naturally as well. They, like Fire, happen to be used by humans for various tasks.
>>
>>59345865
Both types are mainly themed around man made steel and poison.
>>
>>59345864
Fairies don't represent nature though. Many possess nature manipulating magic, yes, but rarely actually represent nature itself. Fairy type also represents fairy tales. Aka stories of fiction that don't always include fairies. It has witches, demons, rabbits and food.

Everyone revered the Dratini line back then
everyone treated Gyrados as pseudo dragon
everyone knew GF cucked out of giving us the first Dragon starter by making it flying
Dragons werent numerous but by lore standards and during the height of pokemania their potential was grand. now we get fucking appleton.

>>59345828
no because they gave us cool mons and kept Dragons at the Apex
Fairy type retroactively retyped numerous pokemon in order for it to lazily weasel its way into the chart and the pokemon it brings are never cool. I have never seen a cool looking fairy type, its all faggot shit from the top down.
>>
>>59345873
>Fairies don't represent nature though
The first fairy pokemon they revealed is literally a tree that grants life
>>
>>59345869
Steel, I can kinda see, but Poison is primarily natural poisons and venom. Like snake bites, bee stings or toxic plants.
>>
>>59345876
this is why Fairy type is bullshit because it literally is just superpowered Psychic/Grass type that makes both types irrelevant and changes the themeing of the mons.
>>

>I got to live during the height of the franchise

The only good thing to come from the addition of the troon type is that it provides a convenient cutoff between oldgens and nugens.

Gunk Shot is pollution related
Sludge Bomb is pollution related
Sludge Wave is pollution related
Sludge is pollution related
Smog is pollution related
Poison Gas is pollution related
Acid is pollution related
Acid Spray is pollution related

The only poison moves that are explicitly “this comes from an animal” are Poison Sting, Venoshock, and Venom Drench. Most pure poison types are also garbage/sludge monsters.
>>
>>59345876
>>59345880
Like I said, Fairies don't always, or inherently represent nature. Most fairy types have little to do with nature, but rather magic, something that is generally seen as both supernatural and natural. If anything, fairy types are a bridge between reality and fiction.

It was mostly still great in Gen 2 since they were being overly cautious with dark and most psychic types were actually still really powerful.

Gen 3 was easily psychic at it's most balanced. Being a very powerful type, but with enough weaknesses and flaws to keep it from being dominant.

Gen 4 and the physical special split saw dark and ghost both explode in usefulness. Psychic basically never recovered from this.

Some weaknesses already don’t make sense.
>Flying > Fighting
If you did Kung-fu on a bird, I’m pretty sure it’d be fucking dead. Against a bigger bird, it should be as neutral as punching it (Normal).
>Ground > Steel
If I throw dirt and mud at a metal shield, it should have the same effectiveness as throwing a rock. In fact, be less effective because rocks are tougher.
>Flying > Grass
Yeah the logic here is “well birds make nests out of twigs and shit” and that’s just kind if stupid. Twigs are like the weakest part of the tree. It’s like saying Steel should be super effective against Normal since scissors can cut hair and most normal types are mammals.
> Rock > Bug
Like above, this shit only makes sense when you give 1 side a significant advantage over the other. You need a significantly bigger Rock than the Bug you’re trying to squish, and basically anything solid would be Super Effective against Bug with that logic
In fact, so many type match-ups are like that, where something should really be neutral but is a weakness because people think about the offensive type being like x2 to x10 bigger or so.

>Flying > Fighting
in a supernatural way Flying is considered to be the Winds of change whereas Fighting types are more Conservative in tradition and structure. Flying is the epitome of speed, Fighting seen as the epitome of power. can power beat speed? sure, but it has to hit it first.

>Ground > Steel
my best guess its a stand in for Water because Water can corrode metal and turn it to rust, and most "mud" moves are ground. Surely they thought about making it water but then Water would be overtuned

>Flying > Grass
light winds knock off leaves from branches and petals from flowers, heavy winds can knock trees and shit over and most exotic plants dont thrive in windy conditions.

> Rock > Bug
overthinking this one. Bugs get crushed. Rocks crush things. when kids were young? crushed bugs with rocks. alternatively Steel should be super effective to Bug as well, but back then Bug wasnt seen as a type to watch out for.

Only a handful are actually based on that but it's because poison, while natural can be made by humans. Those Pokémon (Trubbish, Koffing etc.) are based on industrial areas and destroyed environment.

However majority of Poison types are based on real poisonous or venomous creatures. So we can argue that Poison type has multiple different themes and concepts, though poisonous animals is the dominant one.
>>

I only counted 8, with 4 more being *.
Gulpin, Swalot, Alolan Grimer and Muk, Galarian Weezing. The rest are either based on venomous animals, or are more 'conceptual' like Arceus

They're based on stomachs, and their "poison" is stomach acid.
I think you're missing Iron Moth, and even then I'm only including it because it's a robot. There's arguments to be made depending on what the fuck Eternatus and Glimmora line actually are as well, but even at their most radioactive you could argue they're natural uranium or cosmic rays or whatever.
Still, that's about 1/10th of all poison types, which I wouldn't refer to as "most". I think there's genuinely more Steel types that are artificial, both in amount and proportion to their type.

Source: your ass. Meanwhile, THE template for modern fairy stories (A Midsummer Night's Dream) showcases bugs as being the servants and backup dancers to fairies.

It would also make even less sense in old Celtic fae lore etc., where they are outright deities.

Classic Irish fairy tales had fairies in conflict with actually important figures like Archangel Michael for a person's soul, not random irrelevant insects.

>Which mostly includes man made poison.
It does, I never implied it didn't, just that natural poison is far more common

>Then how do you explain all the Pokemon that are very clearly inspired by real world creatures that utilize poison that aren’t Poison type?
Name some. And because game freak doesn't have to make everything based on poison a poison type.
>>
>>59346690
NTA but I've never heard of it. You go on about how it's a template but I've straight up never heard of it and I've read a shit ton of fairy tales and mythological stories.

In the type? No it isn’t.

>And because game freak doesn't have to make everything based on poison a poison type
Yes, because it’s poison type, not “venomous animal” type. Glad we agree.
>>
>>59346695
I'm fully aware.


It's most common with spiders but other bugs are depicted

The Tale of the Fairy and the Spider
Fairy in the spider's web
Henrietta and the spider queen

It is. It literally is. I'm asking you to go through and count them.

>Yes, because it’s poison type, not “venomous animal” type. Glad we agree.
And no one said it was, just that a majority of poison types are animals with poison or venom

mythological creatures based on fairy tales, like for example Grimmsnarl and Mawile who are based on existing fairy tales like european folklore goblin/trolls and a Futakuchi-onna respectively. And sometimes they are just cute small things

>>59345668
Type relationships are often based on different interpretations of the type from one interaction to the next.

e.g. fighting is good against rock because of martial artists breaking bricks with their hands. Flying is good against fighting because of the old game tropes about air superiority vs ground troops. It’d be stupid to point to the type relationship between flying type and fighting type and go “but fighting type is supposed to be the martial arts type, why should that be weak to birds?”

Or take flying type; so many of its strengths and weaknesses are based on the attributes of birds specifically (rock, bug, grass) but the type can just as easily be argued to be a “wind” type. You wouldn’t argue that Tornadus using Hurricane should not hit bug for SE damage because he’s “not a bird”.

Fairy does represent nature magic and the fae folk. It also represents cuteness/girlyness. It also in some ways represents the “force of good”. Making it weak to bug makes flavor sense for one of these interpretations of the type (the “cuteness” interpretation) and that’s good enough for a change that’s helpful for balance.

Anyone who thinks bug being SE into fairy “doesn’t fit” is free to provide a clear and concise explanation of why bug is SE into psychic.
>>
>>59347063
Psychic is weak to bug because Psychic is weak against fears (fear of the Dark/Evil, fear of Ghosts and fear of Bugs)

Fairy should be weak to bug for both balance and thematic reasons. Nobody who has an iq above room temperature would unironically insist that type interactions follow a single specific theme in any other context, and nobody who has an iq that's at least 2 digits would argue that something can't change from its intended inception even if it were unilateral at the beginning.
He's probably the retard trying to shill for fairy to be weak to fire in that other thread.

>>59347914
Except the “thematic reasons” make no sense. It’s about as retarded as trying to make Ice super effective against Fire.

Why isn't fire super effective on normal?
>>
>>59345820
>Or why bugs are strong against psychic
Psychic's weaknesses are common phobias i.e. fear of ghosts, fear of bugs, fear of the dark (although I forget what dark is called in japanese so that one may be an english-only addition to the theme)
>>
>>59350357
Why would it be super effective on normal?

Have you ever been set on fire? It's only logical that something more deadly than fists should be super effective.

Fairy types are weak to bugs because it's the girl type, and girls hate bugs.

Then it should be immune. And you've never been outside if you think grabbing a bird with your hands is hard.

>>
>>59350368
fire damage still hurts them. They're not immune to burn. They don't resist it. It's "effective". You know, as opposed to "SUPER effective", which is reserved to things that are WEAK to fire, as in, especially vulnerable to it, like things that stay cold or that are made of flammable material. It's a REGULAR level of effectiveness on NORMAL mons.
>>
>>59350572
Nothing destroys nature like fire. Certainly not poison LMAO

You would kill most birds on earth with one punch.

>>59350611
Oh please you couldn't overpower a toddler much less a bird. Most birds are tougher than they look too.
>>
>>59350581
Well there's no "nature" type so

>>59350611
Is that because birds are inherently weak to martial prowess or because we're 100-1000 times bigger than most birds? retard
>>
>>59350634
Why do you think you're so weak that you couldn't punch a bird to death?
>>
>>59350645
>we're 100-1000 times bigger than most birds?
Is that how type effectiveness works now?
>>
>>59350657
Clearly not because the type chart suggests if it were 1:1 the bird would when. Are you daft? My statement was very straightforward and intelligible.
