Pretty sure they only listed these Pokemon to show how diverse the retyping is going to be, I doubt GF wouldn't retype Clefairy or other obvious fairy Pokemon as a fairy type.

>Examples of new fairy Pokemon? Clefairy!
>No shit GF, what else?

So what does it mean about the ralts evolution line? Will Fairy be unique to Gardevoir or will it affect Ralts and Kirlia and if so what about Gallade?

Think it was psychic, psychic, then gardevoir psychic/fairy, and gallade psychic/fighting.

As for the why, I think I can answer for jigglypuff and gardevoir with something besides "because they're cute". Namely, some fae were known to induce sleep, or melodies that did different things, hence jigglypuff, and gardevoir is because it may very well be the closest thing to a (story version) elf or general fae queen there is, with gallades being set as their knights and protectors.

Fairy in folklore means keeper, guardian or protector, a good spirit. Its power is usually of otherwordly nature, running almost into bizzarro section. In mythology, often forest spirits who made contact with humans on daily basis.

This fits Psychic pokemon by default - no objection here. Gardevoir is explained by that easily. Jigglypuff - I can't be arsed to look for it, but didn't Jigglypuff come from space? One way or another, I've seen it in the anime taking care of other pokemon and posessing a strong degree of intelligence. Sylveon - no idea. Marill doesn't make any sense.

Altaria is based on a pheonix, which is as dragon like as you can get with a bird.

Shelgon is based on a dragon egg

Kingdra is based on a sea dragon, so it's just a play on words.

Vibrava is the only weird one as it evolves into a dragon but got the typing as a result.

"lookimg like a fairy" is a nonsense. Fairy used to be more or less the same as Elves at some point. Because late pop culture made people associate them with winged little girls doesn't change the fact that the word itself is broad and vague as fuck.

Jigglypuff and Marill are kinda like pixies, they're small, cute, and probably shy.
Gardevoir is like a "guardian angel" of sorts, read it's dex entries.

Also they don't have to BE fairies, it's mostly an elemental/thematic thing. What's draconic about meteors?

It's like a dragon turtle that doesn't come out.
Kingdra looks like a dragon to me. Not a standard one, but as seahorse looking dragon he's fine.

Altaria is a motherfucking bird and I still don't understand why it should be a dragon.
Vibrava... I guess he's a dragon for the dragonfly joke and that Yanma sucks dicks

Xerneas seems to indicate the type is more expansive than simply being cute. Protective and/or non-threatening? Kinda debatable. If I were to scour all of pokemon for this, the list would be WAY too big. I've been thinking about how Spritzee is like the pokemon embodiment of the move Aromatherapy. I forget what type that is, but we don't know if they retyped that yet.

Aromatherapy is Grass. I don't think it's going to change, though.

God, there are so many moves that fit dual type flavor-wise (Aromatherapy and Magical Leaf would be Grass/Fairy, Muddy Water would be Water/Ground, etc), but moves with literally 2 types would be convoluted as hell. We'd have 8x weaknesses.

Gardevoir - guardian angel, which is close enough to fairy considering they're both spirity beings and yu-gi-oh translated angel to fairy
Sylveon - stereotypical pink cutesy fairy design, with bows alluding to fairy wings or butterfly wings
Marill - no clue, except for egg group. I don't buy the moon rabbit idea because there was no reference to it before and it isn't a rabbit.

It's not like Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff is a pink blob with ambiguous origin and evolves via moonstone. Its singing power also fits with fairies. Marill is just a mouse that evolves into a rabbit. It could easily be normal type if it didn't have water type attributes.
