I sure love salty dragonfags

Am I the only one that thought fairies made sense as a type?

Fairy is objectively the best type in the game, defensively and offensively. Also, fairy type pokémon have great designs which is a plus.

Haven't played pokémon for a couple of years and when I came back I was happy to see they made a hard counter for dragons.

Stupid bastads were overpower when I was kid and ice types weren't that great.

>>25747315
>great designs

no fuck you, and fighting is till the best type in the game and nothing will ever change that

It does make sense, but they weren't really consistent about is a Fairy and what isn't.

>>25747192
Same here.

The biggest reason why I like fairy types is that edgyboys and edgygirls are so fucking butthurt about their favourite dragons and dark types being BTFO'd. It's fucking delicious.

Only bad thing is that my bro Scrafty gets fucked in one shot. :(

the only thing i dont like about fairy is how it resists bug and that it removes spiritomb's only gimmick which is being weak to nothing

Yah same, I don't like that either. Sableye/Spiritomb should have remained "untouchable".

I think Fighting type is already a pretty good weakness for dark, Fairy destroying them is kinda of unecessary.

>>25749653
Part of me wants to say they did that on purpose so that Mega Sableye doesn't shit everything up even harder, but it's hard to imagine them actually knowing ahead of time what kind of monster they were making.

Spiritomb still only has one regular ability, I suppose they could cram a fairy resistance/immunity in there since Pressure is generic as fuck.

Convince me fairy did more good than harm balance wise.

It also nerfed dragon and gave poison and steel more prevalence in the metagame.

If types were all equal Dragons would be balanced and Fairies would be OP. It's just that dragons tend to be 600+ BSTs with good movepools.

Best part is that dragonfags are huge fucking faggots most of the time.

Don't worry OP I've found the solution

I find it hilarious that us dragonfags are considered edgy when most fairy fanart depicts them brutalizing even adorable dragons like Dragonite
Meme magic is one hell of a drug.

>>25750231
Steel was already the best type and now poison is in direct competition with said best type. They could have gave the fightning nerf to poison instead but non if the do so fightning would be approaching grass and ice defensively. Dragon itself is not strong it's just a lot of them have good movepools and base stats; Newsflash there are pokemon with high stats and diverse movepools that aren't Dragon.

it was a good type to introduce

Dragons needed something to fear more than themselves.

Besides, there's nothing "normal" about Jigglypuff or Clefairy... or any other pink moe-blob for that matter.

>best type offensively

I wouldn't go that far, many fairy type Pokemon only learn 2 true "fairy type" attacks. (which is a good thing IMO, it fits the flavor for its movepool to be simple)

Just look at Dedenne, the only fairy type move it learns is Play Rough. The other is Charm which is hardly an attack at all.

Megas aren't as OP as they seem, at least you know what you're dealing with when someone pops a Mega.
>Ability is announced

>It's the only mega they can use during the battle

>zero possibility of them pulling some unforeseen left-field shenanigans, like you can with items

Held items are way more of a threat...
>normally can't see them until they're popped

>many items have passive effects that need to be deduced mid-battle

>can drastically interact with combos/attacks in unforeseen ways

>hundreds of combos and possibilities from different items

Mega Stones were an effort to incentivize players to ease away from held-item based combat.

It also forces players to "commit" to a single Pokemon who's essentially the quarterback of the team.

That being said, my players still don't use any Megas because they'd rather specialize with traditional item strategies.

The thunder rodents are the only Pokemon that can learn Nuzzle, AKA the best physical electric move in the game.

It's basically thunder wave with physical STAB capabilities. A better thunder wave.

>>25753759
True but gamefreak overcompensate for the lack of a held item a little too much when making some megas, i.e mom,shillcario,moon dragon

They underestimate how powerful items, i think megas COULD have been a good thing, but they ended up being pretty bad

>>25753782
*overestimate how powerful items are

>>25753779
Seriously, imagine a technician or adaptability pika clone with decent stats and nuzzle.
Would be stupidly good.

Thank good a pikaclone with good stats will never happen

All they had to do was give more pokemon dragon and ice type moves to compete.

Why will it be dragonkillers?

>>25754105
because memes

>>25754084

They still needed STAB and defensive checks against Dragons.

>>25754105
Thematically it works, all the "trying to be tough" mons fold to fairies. It makes the showy masculine types insecure.

Meanwhile the real threats of warfare and destruction (fire, poison, steel) cuts them down.

guns, swords, bullets = fire and steel

biological weapons and gas = poison

It's war, real things that cause death.

Whereas Dark, Fighting, and Dragon are like highschool kids that just want to "appear" tough and edgy. They have spikey hair, watch MMA and wear Affliction T-shirts... But the second you make them feel effeminate and embarrass them publicly they lose their steam.

>Bully grabs you by the shirt and gets in your face

>Say "...Are you trying to kiss me?"

>Everyone laughs and he recoils, humiliated.

That's how I see it.

>>25754196
But the point is high stats would exist regardless of dragon so punishing dragon for having lots of psuedos is ignoring the root of the problem. Also it is offset by the lack super effective stab moves.

>>25754235

>>25754235

Reminds me of my friend

He was once encountered by a guy who wanted to fight him (for highschool reasons)

My friend isn't a fighter by any means, he's skinny and had no muscle on him.

All the guys in the locker room circle around expecting a fight

My friend smirks and says "OK I'll fight you"

Then he pulls his pants and boxers off, shakes his dick around

Everyone screams, laughs, bully kid goes "WHAT THE FUCK DUDE" and leaves

Friend gets called into the principals office, makes case that he was in the locker room and getting naked was necessary because he was simply changing.

Other kid gets suspended.

Nice meme, friend. don't think that was Game Freak's reasoning at all. Because I don't see Mienshao, for example, being a bully in the slightest.

Those types being weak to Fairy because "lol magic" makes more sense than anything you just posted.

i like fairy because imo thematically they are a counterpart to ghost-types, the way psychic and dark are to each other. shame though most fairy designs are boring or underwhelming.

>>25753853
>all but guarantees
Unless there're entry hazards up or your opponent has a priority move. Don't get me wrong, sash is a great item, but it's far from always better than mega stones.

It's described as being very timid, despite its appearance.

>>25747175
I like how it made Steel and Poison better offensively.

My favorite Pokemon is Hydreigon

And...I'm okay with Fairy type. Still miffed about the 4x weakness though.

Dragon was slightly overpowered and instead of softening them up, (by making them weak to electricity) they added a whole nother type that is twice as broken as them.

>>25757060
Bullies are insecure, not "timid and easily spooked". In fact, the more I read Granbull's entries, the less I think of it as a bully and more I think of it as the nerd.

>>25757149

I wasn't being sarcastic.

>>25757207
Granbull looks intimidating, thus little girls would probably not like it. Mawile is in the same boat. Gardevoir appeals more to neckbeards. Aromatisse is too sassy. Klefki and Carbink are...well, their respective looks speaks for themselves.

>>25757180
It's amazing defensively and offensively

If it isn't broken it's probably objectively the best type in the game right now

Fairies are like nature spirits so things that harm nature harm them too, thus posison and fire; cold steel has always been the thing used to contain or kill them in folklore, thus steel.
As for dark and fighting, fairies are often, again in folklore, tricksters. It's similar to the fighting/flying relationship of "have you tried punching a bird", fairies are difficult to pin down and nearly impossible to trick because autism/alien minds.

Dragons still pretty much dominate. the only thing Fairies really put an end to is Outrage spam.

but all your typical dragons are still sitting at the top of competitive use, Garchomp, Lati@s, Kyurem-B, Dragonite, and the like.

the only one that truly fell from grace due to fairy is Hydreigon. That and Hoopa-U just came in and did his job 10 times better.
