It baffles me that you guys SERIOUSLY want the new type to be called something as utterly retarded as Fairy.
Can anyone, anyone at ALL tell me why you would prefer this over literally ANYTHING else?
Pic unrelated.

Because there are several pokemon already referred to as Fairies, hell there's even an egg group already.

I'd prefer something like Magic or Mystic type, but Fairy works fine.

Because it works well with the current Pokemon we have and it fits in good with the other types.The terminology is already there with the fairy egg group.

What's so bad about Fairy?

I wouldn't -prefer- it, but nigga, sylveon isn't called Magiceon or Lighteon. All those names are referring to fairy culture, especially the german one, which all the eeveelutions are just basically their type's names.

To be called Feelinara is really pushing away most other names. Unless we get an Aku/Dark type of thing, looks like we're getting fairy.

I wanted cosmic.

How is Fairy-type "utterly retarded"? Are you so insecure about your sexuality that you rage over "girly" things inserted into your "manly" Pokémon game?

This.
Ghost could have easily been called "Spirit" or something; but I think Ghost as a nomer isn't all that bad.
It's kinda hard to argue that Dragon typing isn't on the same level as Fairy. Dragons were special. Now Fairies are special

>It's kinda hard to argue that Dragon typing isn't on the same level as Fairy.
Dragons are much more well-recorded in fantasy lore though. They appear as affinities in popular RPGs like Final Fantasy and Dragon's Quest. Comparatively, as /vp/ has shown us, Fairies are much less well documented and much more vague. Anything can be called a fairy if its creator wants it to be called a fairy.

Dragons have shit in common. Scales, dragon breath, flying, living in caves/valleys, etc. You can be of the dragon affinity.
Fairies are much less abruptly defined. How do you shoot a beam of "fairy"? Especially without just making it a pink beam like 90% of normal type attacks that already exist?

I seriously cannot wait for it to be confirmed for Fairy in Japan and for all of the fairytards to rejoice, and then the next day it gets revealed that it's localized to Light everywhere else and I can drink your autistic tears.

Heart. Heart would sound and look a lot better than hurfairy, and make more sense as well.
Also, I enjoy my Touhoumon.

I think "fairy" is like "bug" or "dragon" in that it's just sort of a weird physical-description class rather than referring to the type of attack energy or skill.

I'd prefer "magic" type for this reason... But it's not like it breaks MUHPATTERNS since Bug and Dragon already exist anyway.

This. fucking this times 5 billion. Not being sexist, not being homophobic, not being insecure, but fucking this. It sounds retarded.
>Inb4 ghost
Ghost is there to be the anti-psychic.
>Inb4 dragon
Dragon is at least semi-definable, the fact that people keep showing these fucking yugioh cards is just an example of how convoluted and entirely too general a name like "fairy" could be.
>Inb4 normal
What other type would "just a fucking dog" be?

How does that justify anything? In any case, Fairy will be there to be the anti-Dragon, so there you go.

It won't be called Fairy. There are five star shapes on the Karos map, it's shaped like a star, Sylveon can summon stars and auroras.

It's going to be Cosmic type.

oh my god, why the hell do you guys want a fighting type? honestly, there is no reason for it! isn't EVERY pokemon technically a fighting type? and what the hell happens to normal types? it's not like any of them really had much of a purpose anyway, but now there's a better type than it!
