>>27937827I like the new pokemon they gave the fairy typing to.
The reason why it exists and has the type matchups it has is pretty weak and kinda stupid.
Dragons don't affect them at all because???
Bugs can't into them because???
Dark can't into hurting them because???
Fighting types can't step on them because???
The answer is literally "because game mechanics!" This is weak as fuck and stupid from a lore perspective. First off, a shitload of types needed a buff, they could have distributed these resistances among them and actually given a whole bunch of underused typings some love.
Secondly, this is literally dragon type 2.0. Weak to inane shit that is not a threat to it, with resistances to strong types and crazy options.
IF we keep this up, we'll have a new type to rebalance fairies in gen 8 and then a new type to rebalance that one and then a new type to rebalance that one and then and then, shieed, we'll have a table with 751 types.
