>>22373088But Fairy type was more of a necessity of giving a type to the ZOMGHOWCUTE Pokemon like Jigglypuff, Clefairy and Togepi, more than a substitute for Light.
I'd say that Light type is more associated to Psychic types at the moment, with legendaries like Mew, Latias, Latios and Espeon.
When giving resistances and weakness I considered some things:
> Though Dragon type was a bit nerfed by Fairy type, Mega-evolutions made the situation worse. (Mega-Rayquaza, I'm talking about you)> Grass type has no offensive competence. Needs more love from Game Freak.> Ice, Bug and Poison types too.> Fighting were nerfed with Fairy type too.> Electric type is weak to almost nothing (Only Ground type)And some common sense facts:
> Dark is absence of Light.> Fire creates light. (Even with no proper fire, high temperatures make materials radiate light too)> "Enlightenment" is a common term used when someone has a clear mind and great ideas (Psychic type).> Most human fears are gone if you turn the lights on.And to finish it all, I'm not thinking at the Light type as a "Holy" type, but something more according to the scientific phenomenon of light.
