>>20561543Glad you appreciate my analysis. GameFreak did a pretty admirable job with the Fairies overall, not going too far in either direction on the cute-to-creepy scale. This is Pokemon, they have to maintain the cuddly factor, but it would've been disappointing if they totally glossed over the more mystical and trickery-based elements. Even moves like Play Rough and Baby-Doll Eyes, which on the surface are simply "cute" attacks, play in to the theme of "don't let your guard down or underestimate these guys" that has always been a crucial aspect of fairy tales and mythology. Overall, the Fairy type feels cohesive, like it has unifying elements and an interesting theme. I'm pleased.
I'm especially pleased because the Mega for my old favorite Altaria is a work of art and nicely balances the majesty and cuddliness of being a Dragon/Fairy type.
