>Fire was made resistant to Fairy so the speshul snowflake mega Fire starters wouldn't be weak to it because of their Dragon and Fighting secondary types

True or false?

Or maybe it's because Fire is already weak defensively and could use the boost.

It was probably an attempt to buff the Fire-type defensively. It was always a really horrible defensive typing, due to a weakness to very common stuff like Ground or Rock.

Nah, Fire deserved another resistance to make up for Stealth Rock.

This.

They really fucked some of the typing chart this gen. Steel and Ghost are more OP than ever. Dark and Bug got nerfed hard, and they weren't that good to begin with. Ice and Grass still suck. The only type that got balanced was Poison.

Yeah but only Ice and Steel are really relevant. Grass and Bug aren't exactly threatening offensive types. And the fact that they're weak to Ground, Water, and Rock, all of which are insanely common, pretty much cancels it out. If Gamefreak really wanted to make Fire-types decent defensively, then they should remove Ground or Rock as one of its weaknesses. Being weak to one of them is fine, but both is just overkill.

How about Ice, which is far more desperate for a defensive boost than Fire ever was?
How about Bug, which was pointlessly nerfed into being as bad offensively as Grass while only being able to boast balanced defense?
How about Grass, which in addition to being horrible offensively also has more weaknesses than resistances?

Honestly I honestly figured it was because willowisps are fairies so fairies have control over fire.

Or something.

>Says his favorite type is Water
>One of the most overpowered types. Better at using Ice moves than the fucking Ice type Pokemon themselves. Speaking of which, these Ice moves they almost always inexplicably get allow them to easily counter one of their two weaknesses. Rain is also by far the strongest form of weather.

>Says his favorite Pokemon is Victini
>It hogs a movie to the detriment of Gen 5's pacing, gets far better treatment in the games than the other Gen 5 events, and steals all of Reshiram's and Zekrom's signature moves.

Pebbles were originally made because flyers ignored all other hazards.
Why they decided to fuck everyone else over I'll never know.

I'd argue the Dark was buffed more then nerfed, being able to hit Steel neutrally is a lot more significant than weakness to Fairies which are extremely niche in the meta outside of Azumaril, Togekiss and the occasional Mawile / Dickring. What's more, many Dark types are physically oreintated wheras the majority of Fairies have mainly special bulk.
