>>51566705>But that's the thing: in the pokémon world, mischief and trickery are associated with the Dark type, not fairies. Fairy is more disney like, pink and feminine, and that's too bad, because that doesn't make for a good type characterization.Dark types are thuggish, criminal, and cunning. Fairy types are mischievous and playful. It's not hard; the cute and pink Fairy types are not mutually exclusive with the mischievous and dangerous nature sprites. Fairy types are a combination of these things.
Once again, as I said in
>>51565881, the only reason you perceive this issue is pedantry. Fairies don't have to be either strictly in line with frightening folkloric conceptions of boggarts and imps nor the Disneyfied (or actual Shakespearian) depictions of fairies as beautiful, feminine, and mischievous. Both are encompassed by Fairy type alongside original inventions that correspond to like categories. It's all just cope. Older types like Ice, Rock, and Normal type have a million more real, mechanical issues than Fairy type, which is both mechanically fit to purpose and totally comprehensible to anyone who hasn't hinged their ego on Bug types.
