>>46177931I prefer Gardevoir, but I will say Hatterene's fairy typing fits it much better than Gardevoir. I mainly blame that on the fact that Gardevoir got grandfathered into the fairy typing while Hatterene was designed to be one and it shows.
Hatterene's a fairy type because its a forest witch! Its the type of creature you'd see brewing a potion like a hag then killing people for getting too noisy in her domain.
Gardevoir is a fairy because.... it protects people & pokemon like a knight/? Its got magical powers like a magical girl? Its cute? Its lore speaks more to its Psychic powers with its emotion sensing, black hole conjuring, future seeing, and the like. It never screamed fairy to me.
