Isn't it much easier to not nitpick everything and just accept what it has to offer? Even if Fairy types were thrown in just for the sake of balance, why is this a bad thing? Don't people generally like balance? (excluding the fact that people like to bitch when their type/Pokemon/character is changed and isn't OP anymore) Besides, all games do typing differently and you can go back and forth with them all the time, finding one reason or another why the type advantage works and then turning around and finding reasons why it doesn't work.
I'm all for the Fairy-typing. I forget what it's called in Japanese (unless it's the same) but I see it as a fancier way of saying we're getting a "Magic" type. I'm also pretty hyped about it getting its own card color and energy card in the TCG.
... am I the only one excited because of that last reason? :V
I'll probably head to Gamestop or Target on Saturday to preorder Pokemon Y (I love Yveltal). I checked Gamestop and they're giving away a free poster when you pick your game up (nothing fancy, but it's free). It looks like they give you a second poster of the Pokemon timeline (again, nothing fancy) if you get both games. I'm not worried about version exclusives, since it should be easy enough to find a trade in the thread. Even the GTS seems like an option, instead of the usual jack-assery it's known for.
