Retconned Fairy Types

Anonymous Tue 17 Sep 2013 12:09:49 No.13858852 View View Reply Original Report

So /vp/, do you think this could be it?
I'm a little surprised we haven't seen a full list of retconned Fairy types by now unless these are the only four (which I doubt). So does anyone think we'll see a definitive list before 10/12 or will they leave it up to us to discover for ourselves?
Personally I think we may see a couple more official announcements before launch and I think one of them will be a list of retconned Pokemon & attacks that now are Fairy type.

I wanna know how they're retconning the type itself in.

5 gens is a big gap to fill, even when you fill it with handwavium.

The Fairy-type gym leader will say "It's a new type that was only recently discovered." while everyone else pretends it was always a thing and what do you mean Gardevoir was pure-Psychic what are you some kind of lunatic it's clearly part-Fairy.

Zionist conspiracy to hide Fairy types finally comes unraveled. No surprise a 10 year old wasn't aware.

Scientists learned more about Pokémon and realised there is a type they hadn't identified before.

Or everybody will just act dumb and pretend nothing has changed and that Fairy types have always been around.

Everything exclusive to the Fairy egg group will get changed most likely

As for whether anything else does, who knows. We aren't going to get many Fairy types in the gen they appeared, look at Steel and Dark

Gen 2 was easy, just one gen over. All the dark types were hiding on the other side of the mountain.

Stuff that wasn't fairy before, and hasn't been fairy for ages, is fairy now. Not so easy.

Although with Dark and Steel, there weren't any retroactive changes aside from Magnemite, which intuitively makes sense.

These two and the Togepi line are the main ones I want

Azelf, Mespirit and Uxie could end be fairy type as well

Johto Introduced
>4 Steel types
>6 Dark types (counting Houndour/doom as seperate)

Kalos Introduced (so far)
>6 Fairy types (not including any evolutions of currently revealed ones)

I don't think a lack of Fairy types will be a problem, there is already 6, including the 4 retconned, 2 of which have evolutions likely to keep the type. Also out of the 6 currently revealed 4 could possibly have evolutions.

There weren't over 600 pokemon back in Johto, though.

No, it really is. Like >>13858911 said, further research and study lead them to discover a type they hadn't known about and looking back on other Pokemon, some show characteristics of being this type.

Why in the world does it HAVE to be a "recent discovery"? Just because the other gens didn't have it? How many times do I have to tell you idiots IT WAS RETCONNED!!!!! Dark and Steel were no longer a recent discovery in HG/SS, and breeding was no longer recent in FR/LG. If you believed they were supposed to be recent to begin with, you're a flipping idiot and have no capacity for logic. All these things were ALWAYS known in the pokeworld, and there is no way that they WOULDN'T be always known, otherwise everyone in the pokeworld is a retard. (makes sense if they're nothing but drones waiting for you to fight them, but if you honestly think the world works that way, you're still an idiot) Fairy was always there. The Amie is at least based on principles that should've been known since ancient times in the pokeworld. The Mega junk, also an adaptation of the same principles. Why didn't we see it before? Because the games didn't have it. All gens retcon the previous one and the newest gen is the new canon. All others before it are obsolete. It doesn't matter where in the timeline it is. Unless it has to do with plot, the time frame is irrelevant. There is no way this junk wasn't always known. I don't care if new animals are discovered all the time, within their own region, they should've ALWAYS been known, and none of the regions are ignorant of the others. No, this is not true of Unova, either, and you know that was just a gimmick anyway, and no, I do not think two years changed that. It's a limitation of the game and of the gen it's in. This junk was ALWAYS known. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Togetic & Togekiss are dual-types, which brings the likelihood of them getting Fairy down, they'd lose their Normal-type STAB which would change too much imo, so I don't think they'll be retconned.

I would LOVE Volbeat and Illumise to get it. I know it's unlikely, but I think they suit the tupe a lot more than Marill.

I'm actually surprised no Sinnoh/Unova Pokemon have gotten a retcon yet, I could see Cherrim, the Lake Trio, Audino & Lilligant possibly being retconned. Also Clefairy, Snubbull & Bellossom.

If it's Pokemon only in the Fairy Egg group, then we should expect Clefairy, Chansey, Plusle/Minun & Audino to get retconned (along with Snubbull & Bellossom hopefully)

>picking Lilligant over Whimsicott

Whimsicott is in the Fairy egg group and even behaves like a fairy. I'll be pissed if it doesn't get the Fairy typing.

I chose Lilligant over Whimsicott because Whimsicott has an actual biological animal basis in a sheep. Lilligant is a classic "Fairy Princess" that's mythological based, that's why.
