>Fairy is vague and just feminine designsNo, it's not. Pink is not inherently feminine as a color, Fairy types can draw lore from strange fairy-like creatures from across various cultures, and is a type of related concepts like magical tricksters, or odd creatures in folklore tied to the moon.
>Togepi and Snubbull are not "fey"Togepi literally evolves into a bizarre winged creature that blesses things with good luck. That's easily fairy-like. Snubbull is very possibly based on fairy lore from the British Isles as well, particularly as an allusion to dog-fairies in Celtic stories.
