Ever notice how Pokemon went downhill around the same time the Fairy type came into existence?

Yeah, doesn't the TCG pretend fairy type just doesn't exist anymore?

Fixed it for you, introducing industry plant shill forms to force shillmons and punish people for not having the "correct" favorite was far more damaging than knocking dragons down a peg

Pokemon stopped being good when they stopped making good spinoffs

to be fair like half the types don't really exist in tcg and are represented by something else

It's entirely the fault of Nintendo shilling to retarded manchildren who refuse to grow out of KANTOOOOO. Just because the fairy type was introduced at the same time, doesn't mean it's the cause of this.

What's actually *bad* about fairy type. Explain.
Because the only real problem with fairy type is from a competitive perspective, as fairy type was introduced to counter all the strongest types at the time. And comp shit doesn't impact the actual series

decided to fuck Bug type even more for no reason. Otherwise, Fairy is fine

This has literally never mattered and will never matter. Fighting type doesn't represent anything useful "oh they're like martial artists" then they can be normal types. Type autism doesn't matter to anyone normal

Fairy resists bug to counter u-turn

That’s Dark-type too desu, I don’t get why they decided Dark-type was needed to counter Psychics. It’s so nebulous

Why not just actually nerf U-Turn

Because that makes U-turn weaker across the board instead of making a specific type that's better against teams relying on u-turn pivots

this feels like the same "balancing" as their brilliant handling of Dark Void Smeargle

I think fairy is super interesting when it represents "nature magic". Most people think that only means plants

you mean 1, all of those but sweet food is “to some extent”, ie gamefreak flipping a coin because their ability to balance 1000+ things is limited
