More like fix.

Do you see how ridiculously broken dragon, steel and fighting are, compared to how absolutely useless defensive ice and offensive poison are?

Because they're as bored of dragmag and quake/fighting hyper offense as the rest of us.

Didn't they destroy the metagame in Gen 2 when they added Steel and Dark types and the Special Defense stat?
Didn't they destroy the Metagame in Gen 3 when they added Natures and Abilities?
Didn't they destroy the Metagame in Gen 4 with the Physical/Special split?

Was I the only one who saw that line in the first few interviews or something?

Actually, yeah, the Gen 2 metagame was a stallwar competitive mess.

I mean they literally created the evasion clause because of how bad Gen 2's metagame was.

And it was STILL a stallwar mess even after that passed.

The Dream World in general broke the metagame. Feraligatr, Blaziken, the Nidos and Staraptor all went up in use because of their Dream World abilities

No, it still goes back to their abilities. You can get those abilities by pokegenning too. You may as well say that killed the meta.

But that infinitely helped balance the metagame.

Those Pokemon were weak as fuck back then and got boosts to make them more useful now.
That's like the definition of balance, compared to broken.

I don't know why I don't want a new type. I like pretty everything else about X and Y. But the possibility of a new type really irks me.

My deal is just that if fairy type is an actually thing, will thy be redoing a lot of pokemon's typing or what. Like Cleffable's line being all fairy type instead of normal and how that would work with trading and shit

same way magnemite worked between RB and GS. when it goes from BW to XY, it becomes normal/fairy. I assume you couldn't trade it back to BW, same way you can't send BW pokemon to HGSS.

Why not the addition of a new type, though? If it gives poison more reason to exist, and puts something against dragons, then that doesn't sound like a problem to me. people have to adapt to a lot of new things every gen, regardless.
