Fairy type was the best thing to happen to pokemon since the physical special split. Prove me wrong.
>>25886610
I agree, anything that makes Poison types better is a good thing.
It's my favorite type. I love cute, pink Pokemon. Xerneas is the best legend. Dedenne is the best Pikaclone. Fairy is good.

>the best thing to happen to pokemon since the physical special split
Nope. Reusable TMs.
>>25886610
It was create to balance the game.
>>25886635
Got me there. That was very long overdue.
It's alright but it needs some rebalancing. It's literally Psychic type with less draw backs.
Make Grass and/or Bug resist it.
Maybe Ice too.
>>25886678
Why would grass resist it?
>>25886610
My dragonfagness aside, it's a pretty eh type. I didn't care for any of the new ones introduced in Kalos and the type itself is pretty unduly strong. Making it resist bug is literally the dumbest shit GF has done.
I also feel bad for Hydreigon and Scrafty, they were my gen 5 bros.
>>25886684
Muh connection to nature
>>25886610
Damaged Dark and Fighting more than it did Dragons
>>25886624
too bad Poison is still crap
>>25886610
Here's your (You)
It's strong against too many types.
When first playing through X/Y I had no idea what they were hurt by.
Poison and Steel are just too shitty to be its only weaknesses and it hasn't been enough to stop the Dragons in the meta.
>>25886725
What would you have done then? Dragon was obviously op and they had to do something. Ice still needs a buff badly)
>>25886877
Make ice immune to Dragon, or at least resist it. It's a shitty type defensively so I don't think it would be too out of place
>>25886877
Stop giving every other Legendary and Psuedo a Dragon typing?
>>25886898
not >>25886725 by the way
>>25886610

What a way too automatically make everyone rusty on Pokemon stats.

>gen 1 created pokemon
>gen 2 brought dark, steel and hold items
>gen 3 brought amazing colors and abilities
>gen 4 had phys/spec split
>gen 5 brought reusable tms and better sprites
>gen 6 brough fairies and 3d
What will gen 7 bring?
>>25886610
Fucked way more types (Bug, Fighting, Dark) than Dragons and outclassed Psychic way too hard. It made the balance worse.
If anything Fairy was a mistake.
>>25886903
Fairy/Ice Pseudo when?
>>25886610
Get rid of its Bug resistance and make Psychic strong against it (offensively and defensively) and the types will almost be balanced. Just need to fix up Rock and Ice defensively.
>>25887040
Enjoy even more Scizor
>>25886953
Bring back pokéathlon, meaning that we hopefully get more animation sequences on every pokemon
>>25887097

anon i dont think you understand the question
>>25886610
I can't. You win this round OP.
>>25886725
Dark is better than ever because of the steel nerf though.

Dragons weren't OP because of their type, they were and are still OP because half of them have 600+ bst and a giant movepool that give them an excellent coverage, you can't do much against that. You can't alter their learnset because people would rage that they can't transfer their perfect IV/EV shiny Salamence to the new game and you can't catch up in 1 generation 5 generations where the majority of legendaries and pseudo legendaries were dragons.
>>25886953
Crossing the fingers for STAB added to status moves. The effects of it would have to be always unique since non-attacking moves do all kinds of things, but it would be great. For example make Roost restore x1.5 health if used by a Flying type and x1 if used by non-Flyer. Or make Protect slightly more successful in subsequent turns if it has STAB, etc.
>>25888538
CHRIST NO
>>25888538
>Additional effects of moves now have 1.5x likelihood to occur if used by a pokemon of that type (e.g. Scald when used by a water type has a 45% (.30 * 1.5) chance of burning, Discharge from an Electric-type now has a 45% of inflicting Para, etc)

I wish they'd just accept the reality and all of the porn and make references to certain comics like Faithful Tepig.

Your mono-dragon team isn't viable anymore, huh mate? Sorry about that.

Pick one
>>25888538
Just make STAB and type effectiveness affect the accuracy of debuffs. Maybe even additional effects of attacks although at that point being monotype would really start to suck.
My favorite type being Dragon may cause a bias, but I think Fairy is a good idea, but it was badly executed. Since there aren't many powerful fairies, it failed it's primary purpose of nerfing overpowered dragons, aka Garchomp. Meanwhile it completely fucked lower tier Dragons like Flygon and Druddigon, making them more useless. It also nerfed Bug, with a resistance to it for some reason.
>>25886610
proving you wrong
>>25886610
It's hilariously overpowered defensively and great offensively
desu it needs some tuning down
>>25886610
it didn't buff grass so i don't care. although i guess if they start treating grass/fairy like grass/poison, by making a fuckton of them, then it's all good.
>>25886610
You're right, but odd-gen fags will disagree since they know their games did nothing for the series.

I just really hope we get to see a lot of interesting Fairy types this Gen. GF should tap more into the eldritch fantasy side.
>>25892313
here's your reply.
>>25890507
Mono dragon was never viable and was sweeped by scarf ice beam.
>>25886610
Fairy type was good -- can't wait for Sound type!
>>25888881
>>25888938
The joke is thatno Ground-type can learn Spikes
