No, more Fairies that aren't pastel pink/purple/feminine are needed to round out the type a bit.

Seriously, this is the entire problem. There is absolutely NOTHING in this god forsaken shit type that connects the different Pokémon together. Why is Jigglypuff Fairy? Why is Marill Fairy? Why is Ralts Fairy? Why is Dedenne Fairy? Why is Mimikyu Fairy? Why is Tapu Koko Fairy? They all have different reasons to be Fairy, but none of them actually share their reasons with each other. And some of them doesn't even have any reason at all!

All Dragon types are big, strong and fearsome monsters that could all break you like a twig. It is literally a Monster Type but with a fancier name, with Altaria (and megas) being the only odd one out.

And no, not all Fairy types are magic. They don't even have an arbitrary element going for them like Fire has.

It's very clear that in the Pokémon universe that all types have an "energy" to them, even types that describe physical aspects (like Bug and Dragon). What the fuck is a "Dragon Pulse" when not used by a Dragon type? It's a "draconic" energy, whatever the hell that may be. When it comes to flavor and design, Dragon is an element associated with legend, power, nobility and destruction.

Fairy, in the Pokémon world, is just as much an "element" as Fire, Water, Dragon and Ghost. Growlithe is a fire dog. A dog with Fire powers. Granbul is a fairy dog. A dog with Fairy powers. It's that simple. Fairy is an element associated with purity, whimsicalness, light, nature, playfulness.

I'm sorry, if you use "monstrous" to justify a common theme, you can do the exact same for fairies as the inverse of that, the "cute" type. Even Granbull is still a lavender dog with ribbon ears.

Dragon types have no connection as far as I can see. I can stretch it and say the pattern is that all of the final evolutions look draconic/reptilian, but then things like Kingdra and Altaria are a thing.

They're not a "myth" type either since many Dragon-type pokemon are pretty mundane, and other non-Dragon pokemon like Milotic and Arcanine have elegance/legends based around them.

Fairy is the secondary Grass(Nature) type. Fairies are commonly viewed as mystical beings that live and utilize their powers on the forest.

Xerneas,Tapu Koko, Flabebe line, Confey are nature associated beings that aren't plants, which is why Fairy is their given element.

Even though it is a stretch, I believe
Moonblast and Moonlight are Fairy moves as your trying to use a part of nature as a power source to create an attack or to heal yourself. Similar to villagers who have little knowledge of technology and use what they have in their environment.

Tapu Koko's design is literally just a black & orange legless Gallade with shields instead of swords on its arms. It looks like a fusion between Gallade and the Unova Fighting-type Elite Four member Marshal. It's permanently angry. It looks like a guy. It has a mohawk. It's topless. It's battle animation has it jumping from side to side like a fighter in battle. It looks like an obvious physical attacker. How can people question it looking like a Fighting type?

Vibrava is an evolution though. It also looks like a dragonfly and not the type of ferocious monster Anon was touting all Dragons to be

Even then, Flygon doesn't look that ferocious either. It's even called the Mystic Pokemon

It's like saying Water types have to be specifically just Fish and Flying has to be specifically just Bird

I love Fairies but "nature or life" isn't accurate for things like Mawile and Slurpuff. See >>27300198

It evokes a sense of purity, light (as in goodness), nature, whimsicalness, playfulness. Physically it evokes images of sweet/cute/small creatures (like pixies), feminity, gracefulness, or in the case of Tapu Koko, Xerneas and a bit of Gardevoir, a "guardian" or "angel" aspect.

It's a great design and all, one of my favorite gen 7 pokemon so far, but why is it a fairy typing?

I understand the point people are trying to make. I find it hard to describe fairy type effectively. I feel like the creators just slap it into pokemon however they feel like.

With that logic, Bounsweet should be a fairy type.

Fairy is suppose to be a type that correlates with what affects the way life and how nature works around them.

Mawile is based off the a japense myth that talks about a metaphyiscal being, which fits the Fairy type perfectly.

Slurpuff's previous evo, Swirlix, is based off of fairy floss.

Fairy isn't a "light" type, it's nature. Why do you think it's weak to poison and steel/the two elements of pollution?

Makes sense to me, but you have to understand it's drawing inspiration from "real" fairies (fae) not disney fairies (tinkerbell) so a lot of weird things people don't even realize are the "source" of the pokemon, in some folklore fairies were considered evil spirits who could disguise themselves for example, and they were considered very envious (like Mimikyu envying pikachu)

Ahh, I can't wait until the fairy-haters leave the game for good. Hopefully Sun and Moon will tempt them.

Also, my thoughts on what makes something a fairy: Magic, Nature/Life, being a deity or protector, cuteness, etc.

Magic and Life I feel are the most crucial elements. Just as dark is generally bruteness, hatred, lack of compassion, and the darkness, fairy is gentleness, love, balance, clerics/healers, and the light. Magic is also much different from "psychic" powers. Psychic is more intelligence, strongness of mind, etc.

Think of it this way:

Psychic: Intelligence in a mathematical, cosmic, universal sense.

Fairy: Intelligence in a emotional, moral, and just sense.
