>>55099098I'd love a proper fae type but for every good new fairy type like the tapus there's five bread dogs, cotton candy dogs, perfume birds, keys, flower necklaces, or cakes. Easily one of the least consistent types design wise. Put a few random fairies in front of a person who knew nothing about pokemon and they would not be able to guess what they had in common, especially if pre gen 6 type retconned fairies were included. They also completely fucked the type chart. Dragon was problematic, but it would've been way better to give ice the dragon immunity as the type desperately needed defensive utility. And if you want to make the retarded move to buff steel offensively, just make it se on dragon. Fighting was also strong, but buffing psychic would address that, and nerfing dark could be done by buffing bug, a type thst is notoriously bad. Instead bug was nerfed, steel was buffed and a new type took dragon's place as the most busted in the game. Only the poison buff, which wasn't even enough, is worth praising. Terrible execution overall.
