You're right OP.

MORE Pokemon should be retconned into Fairy type. Mismagius should be a Fairy. Cresselia should be a Fairy. Azelf should be a Fairy. Blissey should be a Fairy. All hail fairy types. :)

Introducing type 'Energy'!
It will replace all other types, and it will be neutral. All moves keep their original types, and energy is neutral to all of them. No stab means gameplay less complicated, and in the world we live in, we don't want to make the game too complicated for children.

Fairies really need another weakness, as-is it's lolSteel and lolPoison. And while we're at it Water needs another one as well.

The whole point of fairy was to offensively buff steel and poison, I just think GF isn't doing this right. They need to actually change what they have right now instead of adding more shit in a hapless balancing attempt and wind up with an even more muddled metagame.

Fairy's current balancing position is a bit murky. It's strong, but not gen 4 dragon strong. Steel and Poison were joke types on offense before now, and Poison was just a joke overall. Fairy was meant to balance that, but the ability to only counter one type still lands them fairly low (except Steel, which needed a nerf before it hit imba with Aegislash). Fairy didn't do much of anything it was supposed to except give a few specific Pokémon a niche role. It doesn't hard counter dragons most of the time since they'll almost always pack a coverage move, and with the absurd movepool most dragons get because GF seems to love them, will almost always include something that was SE Fairy. It didn't buff le offensiv stal typez because the ability to SE one extra type doesn't help much. GF is trying to balance the game all wrong. They add new mechanics as a balancing feature first and change existing ones as an afterthought. That's why GF can keep churning out games and selling them, because they can market the new features to soccer moms, while still keeping us entertained long enough to buy the games before we realize it did nothing to fix the meta. Remember Mega Evolution? Mommy and Daddy would see that (along with Little Timmy), and think "Wow! Little Timmy would love to see his favorite Porkyman get even stronger!", while we look at it like "Finally, they'll buff Pokes who are worthless". A nerf to Garchomp in the ads simply doesn't sell. Game Freak is forced to balance the game in the shittiest manner possible just because that's how they pay the bills.

Azumarill gets Dig. And I think Florges might get Earth Power as a tutor in ORAS. Since Steel types wall her completely

Never. Which is a shame, since it was poorly thought out move. The better solution would have been to make Ice less sucky.

Fairy is now unquestionably the best type in the game, and I fear the day we get a Fairy that doesn't suck.

We need for Fairies to be weak to Dark, so far the only use that type has is against Psychics.

Fairy needs to be weak to Psychic instead.

Feral Type, splits off from normal types:

SE against: Feral, Fairy, Normal, Water
NVE against: Steel, Rock, Ice, Bug, Poison
Resists: Ghost, Ground, Ice, Fairy
Weak to: Feral, Dark, Poison, Psychic

The basis for the type is strong but unfocused attacks - so 'soft' types are hit for SE, while any 'hard' types resist it.

other added type relationships are based on how wild beasts are in mythology -> sensing ghosts, predicting earthquakes and/or how they act instinctively -> natural aversion to poison

I'd like a retcon so something else is SE against fairy. They were obviously trying to buff poison/steel, but nobody sacrifices a coverage move for iron tail/sludge bomb, they just use a strong neutral hit. Fortunately most fairies suck at the moment, but if they ever create a fairy type with a competent stat spread, it will be dangerous, it's a good type fundamentally

I feel something animalistic would be weak to cold. Ice should be super effective. Dark should be resisted.
At least I think so.

It could go either way for some of those really - I just erred on the side of balancing.

I mean something animalistic should totally be SE against grass, but seriously, grass doesn't need any more weaknesses
