There's literally nothing wrong with it. You only attack the Fairy Type as a social signifier. You have deep, irrational masculine insecurity, and therefore you're afraid that associating with anything that "seems gay" will make others see you as less manly. So you panic and feel the need to (very loudly and performatively) hate on the Fairy Type. At its core, you just reflexively attack anything that's too girly or "gay", in the hopes that everyone else will notice and be impressed by how "not gay" you totally are.

In the 13 years this Type has existed, there has never been a single criticism of it that held up to any scuntinty.

>it's too strong!
Steel and Water are stronger.

>they just slap it onto anything pink!
Most Fairy Types aren't pink. Other Types like Electric have a way worse "color = Type" thing going on.

>they're all cute and girly!
Why is that any less valid or one-note than Dark Types being all mean and edgy?

>fairy types make no sense!
They make exactly as much sense as Ghost Types my dude. Fucking 95% of Fairy Types easily have an extremely fitting reason for why they are Fairy. Just cuz you're too stupid or uneducated to make a connection doesn't mean a thing "doesn't make sense". Half you dumb motherfuckers unironically think Fairy is the food Type cuz you don't understand the Fairies = Sweet connection they repeatedly reinforce.

1/2
>>
2/2

This is all so tiresome. It's all artificial performative nonsense, and frankly, it's pathetic and sad to watch. A hyper-defensive rejection of your feminine side doesn't make you more of a man, it makes you less of one. All the best men who serve as pillars of masculinity don't give a shit if they wear a pink shirt or do something that's considered girly or whatever. That is the obsession of beta males.

If you want to actually be a respectable man you need to have the ability to associate with a pink girly fairy creature and not walk away from that interaction feeling that your masculinity was somehow threatened by it. Being tender for 5 seconds isn't immasculine. The color pink isn't going to hurt you. There is, L I T E R A L L Y nothing fucking wrong with Fairy Type, and hating on it doesn't make you seem cool or whatever the fuck.

Please reflect on what I said here today, and grow.

I agree that most people who hate Fairies are just being superficial

But I've also noticed the more categories a Fairymon branches into, the more positive the reception, Tinkaton for example:
>Pink and Cute for the Girls
>Big Ass Hammer and Tomboy personality for the Boys
>Dex says she Steals and do Mean things for the Edgelords
>Decent and Utilizable for the Compies
>Short and Chubby for the Gooners
The Creator who designed Tinkaton obviously studied and knew what they were doing, they wanted a Cutemon that is also Cool, hench why boys don't feel emasculated from having Tinkaton despite being a Girlmon as one of their favorite mons unlike something like what a Galarian Rapidash would make them feel

>>59650760
I don't really like the fairy type.
The main reason I dislike about fairy is that it beats all the "edgy" types like Dragon, Dark and Fighting. This is based on that "Haha, what if the tiny cute looking character beats the shit out of the badass character! Because you would think the badass character is stronger but ACKTSCHUALLY the tiny cute character is stronger. Isn't that so quirky and random?" trope in fiction that I really hate. I generally dislike the common disconnect of appearance with actual capabilities in media like anime because it feels dumb and unimmersive. I guess you can kinda excuse dark types being scared of fairies if you see dark types as edgy teenagers, but why fighting and dragon?
Having only 2 weaknesses with steel and poison and being inefficient against but not weak to fire is pretty overpowered with all the things it hits super effectively and resists. This is also why fairy type Arceus and Silvally are amoungst the strongest, alongside steel. It feels like someones personal Mary Sue OC type.
I do not like most fairy designs. This is a personal preference. I like Sylveon and Mawile. Tinkaton, Gardevoir, Zacian and Mimikyu are alright. I dislike most of the rest. Fairies tend to have round, blobby, simple designs and not look like fantasy animals or monsters.
Sylveon tends to be the only fairy I like to use because Flareon and Leafeon are redundant on most of my teams.
Fairies have a very high female to male ratio which kinda knocks the type down even more for me. Florges, Alcremie and Tinkaton being the worst offenders at outright 100% female.
Otherwise I just enjoy the meme of hating on it and calling it "GAYYYYYYY" because it is funny internet nonsense.
I do not feel my masculinity threatened by liking cute or "girly" Pokémon like Cresselia, pink non-shiny Lurantis or Sylveon because I am so much of a paragon of masculinity that nothing can threaten it.

It makes more sense if you see it as the nature Magic or Fae type. Something with magic would have an advantage against dragons, cheap tricks, fisticuffs. Its weakness are because cool iron kills fairies in myths and nature spirits are hurt by poison. The problem is it’s too overtuned. They could have easily have one more weakness, either fire due to forest fires, or ice (weak to COLD iron). Also its current relationship with bug is bullshit. Either have Fairy and Bug have no relationship or have them neutrally resist each other
>. It feels like someone’s personal Mary Sue OC type.
If absolutely is its the shill for shillmons that arent reptilian enough for dragon and are too “girly” to be dark. Hence why so many megas gain it as a type

As a huge Fairy Type lover, I still think the dragon immunity should really have just been a resist. Fairy being their hard counter is cool, but Dragon Type being a little overpowered isn't really a bad thing (they're fucking dragons dude). The full immunity is overkill.

And I think Grass should resist Fairy (fairies don't want to harm mother nature, and fairy magic helps plants grow).

It ironically helps most physical dragons that aren't using choice items, because in your brave endeavor to "shut down" Outrage, if you didn't guess how long that Outrage would last or weren't keeping track of the maximum final turns before confusion, now you just let your enemy pivot to using another attack without worrying about confusion.

I don't like fairy because it exists as a counter and nerf to Dragon-type. The whole point of Dragon-type is that it's stronger than the other types, it's the big bad final boss type. It doesn't even make sense as a counter. Yes, yes, I've heard their arguments, they're nonsense.
I also don't like some of it's strengths and weaknesses. It should be weak to bug.

>It makes more sense if you see it as the nature Magic or Fae type.
See I think it would be a more well regarded type if it leaned more into this aspect, instead of just being the "haha cute and soft" type. There are a couple interesting fae mons, but it's not utilized enough. As it is, I don't necessarily dislike fairy type, I just don't find it particularly interesting either. I'm not mad that cute and soft Pokemon exist, they have since the beginning, they've just never really appealed to me.I don't think there's any other type off the top of my head that has such a particular design language inherent to it. Something being water or steel type is not particularly indicative of whether I'm likely to like it, but fairy, for the most part, is.
Anyway I think it would appeal to a lot more people if they embraced that literally fairy tale/magic/fae/occult side more. It wouldn't mean it has to be stop being the cute+soft type, they could have both.

I wonder what could've worked for a counter for Dragons if Fairy wasn't added.
>Buff Ice type. Simple as.
In theory, yes, it would be "simple as", if not for Water type mons having Ice coverage issue, which makes them OP, and starting from this point it would delve into a mechanic issue. In other words, buffing Ice would indirectly buff Water, and imo it needs an urgent NERF.
And in these kind of threads I always point out Sableye and Spiritomb having no weaknesses in Gens 3 to 5, but Dragonfags always say "just hit 'em harder, they have shit base stats!" but competent movesets and EV distributions can make up for it. Otherwise, Phoebe, an E4 member of Hoenn wouldn't use Sableye and Cynthia, a Sinnoh champion infamous for having one of the hardest battles wouldn't use Spiritomb either.
>But now there's Eelektross, you dunce!
Smack it down with a tanky Groundmon.
>>
>>59652069
People always say it doesn't make sense Fighting is SE against Steel, Rock or Ice. These Pokemon literally have super muscles. Materials like metal and rock will bend/shatter rather easily if you can produce enough force.
>>
>>59652139
Some fucker parked his car in front of my driveway once so I punched it so hard, my fist went right through the sheet metal into the gas tank and entire thing blew up.
People who say "it doesn't make sense Fighting is SE against Steel" are limp wristed shitters who must hit the gym more.

steel is the one i don't get. breaking rocks and ice and shit sure, but martial artists don't go around breaking metal blocks with their hands.
steel should've been weak to electric instead.

This is literally exactly what I'm talking about tho. You're acting like Fighting pokemon have no special powers and are just strong, but mundane. No, they are SUPER strong, they all have that as their intrinsic superpower. They are all Mr. Incredible. The way a normal human can bend a spoon, a Fighting Type can do with a steel gurdur.

Fairychads, what ideas for new Fairy Type pokemon do you have that you wish to share with the rest of the class?

>rock/fairy garden gnome with stalagmite cone hat. evolves into LoTR dwarf with beard made of stalactites

>anything losely based on medusa would be cool

>i've always wanted a fighting/fairy mon that's not remotely feminine just for the sake of breaking expectations. a minotaur perhaps? also i want a fairy centaur too, with some other dual type
>>
>>59652151
Steel not being weak to electricity works if you focus less on conductivity and more on whether or not it can carry electricity without being destroyed. When a current travels through water, the water gets split into O2 and H2, when lightning travels through air, the air molecules get split creating plasma, ozone, etc. Electricity just travels though steel with no issue.
Thing is, it’s almost certain that was not intentional because no way game freak is smart enough to use that logic and were just borrowing from other RPG’s for weakness, only having Steel not weak for electric because of game balance since steel is supposed to be amazing defensively but poor offensively

>>59652108
Just Buff Ice DEFENSIVELY, and make it resist Dragon and Flying too. Now BEING ice type is helpful rather than just having ice moves.
>>
>>59652250
>Just Buff Ice DEFENSIVELY,
Nah adding Fairy type is better
>>
>>59652212
>be superpowered X
>that means it can do Y thing "mundane" X can't
so why is electric ineffective against grass? surely super electricity just destroys plants, since lightning already does that IRL?
>>
>>59652286
are you stupid? electric pokemon don't have super electricity, they just produce regular (cartoonish) electricity. Fighting Pokemon don't have normal muscles you can get by going to the gym, they literally all have super strength
>>
>>59652302
Humans can canonically match up with Fighting Pokemon though, most Fighting experts literally spar with their Pokemon to train them. The mons wouldn't have much to gain from trading fists with a human if the human couldn't handle their super strength, because they wouldn't be putting full exercising exertion into their moves.
>>
Fighting is super normal.
Normal fights with claws or blunt force.
Fighting types use blunt force but they are STRONKKKKKKKKKKKK so they can punch through steel as if it was paper.
>>
>>59652306
Because the blackbelt humans are badasses too.
They also have superpowers and can throw cars.
>>
>>59652302
if electric pokemon don't have super electricity, fighting pokemon don't have super muscles. as the other guy said, fighting type experts often spar with their pokemon. either maylene is strong enough to punch clean through steel (with ease mind you, not in a controlled environment), or her lucario isn't.

Yup. Just give it some sort of tomboyish quality and they won't give a shit it's a girlmon. Tinkaton being a chaos gremlin who throws hammers at birds for fun offsets everything.

This comment from you is so absurdly and wildly wrong and inexcusable that it is, functionally, a lie. I'm not going to bother arguing with you when you straight up are asserting that a reality which does not exist, exists.

And some Dragons can surprise attack with Flamethrower, too. So, unless an Icemon has high Def/Sp. Def base stats, EV trained as a wall, or has Water as a second type, a Flamethrower is enough to OHKO because Dragon type is a Big Bad Final Boss type, it doesn't need STAB for the coverage move.

>>59650760
The only real issue with Fairy is that It's supposed to retroactively buff poision and steel, with Steel not needing it and Poison types not really having the offense to benefit from it
So it's only really good at walling Dragons as a whole, Fighting and Dark didn't need another thing that could completely negate them.

Also because GF's game design was stupid. Even if Ghost was programmed properly and Physic was weak to it like intended, Ghost was an Attack type and the only Ghost line was Gengar, an Special based mon.

Dark type only works as a supernatural type, otherwise it's just feral Normal type.

It was supposed to be a nocturnal Yokai type back when the franchise wasn't so gay. For Dark to make sense now, as it has evolved into a Feral type but with Ghost effectiveness for some reason, it should become a Fairy-eater type.
"Some beasts have a never-ending hunting instinct. They seek to kill anything near them. Some even acquired taste for pixies. Pixies are quick, and shining. So they lurk in the shadows, waiting for the perfect timing to ambush them with a sucker punch. Consuming Fairies grants them supernatural powers, like touching intangible ghosts."


Fairy mons get 2x from Steel, Poison, Dark attacks.

Fairy attacks do 2x on Dragon, Fighting, Bug and 1/2x on Grass, Steel, Fire, Electric.
