So what's the worst type in the game to you, and why's that?

Pic related is far & away the worst in my opinion. Not that it was a particularly bad idea, but it suffered from a very one note execution: Everything in the fairy roster aside from a few exceptions that feel more like the type was given to them for the sake of padding out the roster more than anything is pretty much cutesy shit.

Electric types because 90% of them only have electric type moves, 9% of them only have electric types moves and secondary stab, and almost all of them are some variation of fast and frail special attacker.

Ice.

It's always Ice.

This question simply didn't need to be posed.

GF don't give a fuck about Ice types. Never forget.

calm down reddit, is not unusual for people to just try to bait idiots like you to get replies, i myself dont care about fairy type that much, only thing i would like to see more is fairies like Xerneas and Mawile, which are fairies because they represent something instead of just being a cute girly thing.

Same, but my reasoning is that it's a vague, meaningless type that was created solely for balancing. Not because it fits pokemon, not because it makes any sense as an element, but just purely to exist as an arbitrary label to give certain pokemon because Dragon and Fighting were too good. There's no 'reason' something is given Fairy typing other than for balance, because the whole concept is just vague to the point where it means nothing.

kinda agree, the movepools and stat spreads are all similar and those that are different suffer from having no reliable physical STAB.
At least they've kind of made an effort to make the pikaclones more diverse recently, but Dedenne has no Fairy moves and they're all too frail/weak

I didn’t like Fairy type initially because it was ill-defined. Anything pink or cutesy or feminine was suddenly Fairy type. But I think they fixed it for Gen 7 and it’s way better now.

Anyways, I choose Rock type. Hate most of the designs and concept. They should have just been merged with Ground types.

Fairy type is just a trash design, there was no real use for it besides to nerf dragons a bit. If they just buffed ice types a bit more then fairy wouldn't have even been necessary to implement, allowing for better balance.

Way more variety (i.e. not everything is pink or adorable).

There are firece local deities (The Guardians of Alola), cute pixie (Cutiefly line), creepy fairy ring mushroom (Morelull line), mermaid/selkie (Primarina), mysterious little monster (Mimikyu), etc.

the Tapus and Cutiefly are definitely top-tier fairies. We need more that aren’t necessarily cute, but still mysical creatures like Fairy/Ground gnomes or dwarves, Fairy/Dark djinn, fairies based off figures like Hermes or Artemis, etc.

dumbasses dont realize that fairy type has always been there since gen 2 actually, but as an egg group. so the type itself has already been thought of and it makes sense to make it as a type because it already had a theme and its own family instead some random ass crap like sound or cosmic or whatever. the fairy type itself has always been originally thought of by gamefreak as the cute type, same as theme as their egg group, and theres nothing wrong with that.

I wonder why GameFreak is so scared to buff the ice type by changing the type chart. They gave them freeze dry and aurora veil to cover some of their weakness so they know ice need a buff ,but they don't want to touch what make ice so shit: having only a resistance to itself and 4 weakness to common offensive type.
And it's not like they don't want to change the type chart, they removed steel resistance to dark and ghost in gen VI.

Water is definitely strong enough to nerf it in favor of Ice, but they’re probably too hesitant to make the Water starter weaker. Ice should do neutral damage and resist it.

Not a huge fan of Fairy either, not because Dragon didn't need to be nerfed, but because it feels like they went about it in a weird way. They slapped Fairy onto a bunch of old Pokemon that instantly made every single one of them better except for maybe Whimsicott, which felt like a bit of an upset initially. The fact that Fairy has two weaknesses is also weird in its own way, I feel like in trying to balance the game Game Freak went ahead and essentially devised a way to nerf certain types that could almost use a nerf itself. As is typical of most things in Pokemon these days it seems the only way to balance things is to go a little too far in nerfing things, creating brand new strange balancing issues.

Could be expressed without insults and shitflinging, but this. All of the fairy type Pokemon form a distinct theme that's been present in Pokemon since gen 1. Therefore, I was happy about it. It's good that Clefairy for example gets movesets and stab that distinguishes it from normal Normal pokemon.

In terms of balance, it was more poorly executed, but the competitive side of Pokemon has never interested me. In terms of flavour and aesthetic, it was a good choice.

Fairy, probably. It doesn’t really feel cohesive at all and was ultimately a failed balancing attempt. It feels more like a marketing tool than an actual balancing act.

You could’ve just nerfed Outrage, Draco Meteor, and buffed Ice,

This, all scalies are dragonfags and dragonfags hate fairies because fairies finally put an end to dragons having an easy reign over every other type, having so many NVEs and only being weak to itself and Ice despite Ice type pokemon being so weak.

Ice is actually the worst type, it needs buffs so badly.
