You're welcome. Steel is cool, and Fairy is good, stop hitching. A good thread died for this.

Its not like you were using steel and poison for much else prior to fairy type aside from STAB. Fairy type now gives steel types and poison types more of a reason to exist.

As a Poison type fan, I welcome our new Fairy targets. Also, I hated how there were so few counters to Specs Draco Meteor/Fire Blast/Focus Blast spam back in Gen 5. Fairies were needed.

I've really only had one issue with Fairy as a type. Just one, everything else about it is just fine.
I can see why Dragon seriously needed to get taken down a peg, even though I personally like the type.

I'm fucking glad that Fighting got hit with the nerf bat, Close Combat is fucking cancer.

But why did they have to go and give Dark another weakness? Dark wasn't hurting anything. Steel could've just kept its Dark resist and Fairy could've been neutral to Dark and everything would be hunky-dory. If we go by what needed balancing in the Gen V metagame, Water was far and away more of a problem than Dark. Imagine where the metagame would be if Fae had been neutral all around to Dark and SE against and resistant to Water instead?

Dark was still buffed overall with the knock off buff. The real question is why they felt that bug had to be nerfed and fire buffed.

I do agree with you. Dragon and Fighting were omnipresent at VGC '11 and '12 and they needed a nerf. But I have no clue why they decided to shit on Dark. Yeah, Hydreigon, Scrafty, Tyranitar, and Weavile were huge contenders in those tournaments but that's because
1) introduced that gen and MADE overpowered
2) weather wars
I just don't get why they felt that Dark needed to be taken down, especially with all four of those getting hit by Fairy already (Hydreigon and Scrafty by Dragon/Fighting weaknesses to Fairy and Tyranitar and Weavile by increased Steel presence from Fairy). It just feels unnecessary

Dark is better than it's ever been before. It would have become overpowered without fairies.

My only complaint about Fairy type is that GF bothered to introduce a brand new type to counter Dragon instead of just buffing Ice ;_;

However, I'm glad that both Poison and Steel are more relevant now, and for the nerf to Fighting.

Welcome to the 7 resisted club bug.
Grass was getting pretty lonely.

Speaking of grass, the fairy type indirectly nerfed it because now poison types are getting a lot more popular.
