Pocket Monsters 6th Gen (Dimensions) - Less than a week till release

[Edible]

PIKACHU'S CUTENESS THRESHOLD IS TOO LOW

YOU MUST BE AT JIGGLYPUFF LEVELS AT MINIMUM

[MatsuriSakuragi]

saw this on tumblr it belongs here i guess

[Wriggle]

AND IT'S STRONG AGAINST DRAGON

[MaStErSpArK94]

AND IT'S STRONG AGAINST DRAGON

[Raikaria]

So they're basically making all the cute things fairy-type. :V

Ehehehe you just called Gardevoir cute.

*Shot for immaturity*

Also what is the logic for fairies being strong against Dragons?

How is Marill a Fairy suddenly?

Why did they reveal Jigglypuff as Fairy but not, you know.. Clefairy?

Why does this feel like a blatant attempt to shoehorn something in to nerf Dragons?

[commandercool]

Re-type Clefable! CLEFABLE FOR OU!

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Why does this feel like a blatant attempt to shoehorn something in to nerf Dragons?

about fucking time imo

[Raikaria]

about fucking time imo

They could do that by adding better Ice moves. Or an Ice/Steel type or something.

Not shoehorn in a type that:
1: Makes no sense as to why Fairies beat Dragons
2: Has no sense on what it's given to. How are Marill and Gardevoir fairies?
3: Seems to draw from... nothing to do with fairies. Moonblast? Well, I'm willing to bet Wish and Moonlight will be re-typed to Fairy too. Why not just all it 'Cosmic' or something like that? Ton better than 'Fairy' and could easily encompass anything mystical/drawing power from the skies.

[Although even then Marill doesn't make sense]

Nerfing Dragons? Yay

Shoehorning in a type that seems to make no sense? Not yay. When they made Magnemite Steel, it MADE SENSE.

Also 'Fairy Wind'. They could at least have made a better name for that attack that makes it look less like 'Shove it in'

Also Dragon itself isn't the problem. It's the fact most Dragons have stupid BST's, and usually wide movepools which include Fire attacks to melt Steels. If a type which didn't hit stuff SE was a problem, Normal would be broken.

why, are you afraid your precious Dragons will get their shit wrecked by badass cutiepies?

It's a great opportunity for Pokemon to get nerfed and buffed. There's rumors that Fairy is weak to Steel and Poison, which is good.

They could do that by adding better Ice moves. Or an Ice/Steel type or something.

Ice is a horrible defensive typing to even have, lol

[Raikaria]

As I said, nerfing Dragons is yay. [Although, Dragon-type itself isn't the issue. It's the BST's and movepools. Dragons aren't broken in Little Cup, where Dratini isn't stronger in stats than everything else yet.]

Having actual logic is better. Psychic is weak to Bug, Dark and Ghost because those are fears. Fire burns Grass. Poision destroys nature. Water conducts Electricity. Ice shatters, so is weak to Fighting, Rock and Steel. Reptiles are cold-blooded, so Ice beats Dragon, while Fire is resisted.

Most weaknesses and strengths make sense.

Fairy v Dragon? Nah.

I simply don't like it from a flavor perspective.

And if they make all those Cosmic moves Fairy Type I am so calling Fairy 'Astral'.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

:dealwithit:

meanwhile I'm gonna be pondering how I can finally make a team of cute pokemon that can actually stand a chance against all the OP shit

[trancehime]

:wikipedia:

This sounds basically like bitter whinging to me. The competitive community as far as I can see it are generally satisfied with the change.

Furthermore, you can't seriously be telling me the Fairy type doesn't make sense when Fairy or Fairy-like Pokemon have been a constant mainstay of the Pokemon franchise.

[Edible]

Ehehehe you just called Gardevoir cute.

You're god damn right I did. :|

And 'Fairy' has been an egg group name since like gen 2 so

[Athrel]

There's rumors that Fairy is weak to Steel and Poison, which is good.

Now instead of drag mag, there'll be drag-scizor teams.

[Suikama]

Flying weak to electricity? Ground immune to electricity?

[Raikaria]

And 'Fairy' has been an egg group name since like gen 2 so

And guess who's not in the egg group.

Eevee.
Ralts.

Both given Fairy-type evolutions.

See where I'm coming from? And I couldn't care less about points about competitive side of things. I'm talking about Flavor. I already said I'm happy that there's a new type to beat Dragons. I'm just not happy that the type makes no goddamn sense.

Oh, and it's not like everything in the Fairy Egg-group can be Fairy-type too. Breloom is already Grass/Fighting. Jumpluff is Grass/Flying. Froslass is Ice/Ghost. I'd say Togetic/Togekiss but they may be re-typed to Fairy/Flying.

In before Egg Group overhaul.

Flying weak to electricity? Ground immune to electricity?

Lightning strikes high objects. Flying objects are high. Hence, flying-types are weak to Electric.

What does every plug have? A GROUND, as a safety feature. A lightling bolt doesn't exactly do much to the earth itself when it strikes either. It just fizzles. Maybe leaves a slight char. It certainly isn't conducted.

[Suikama]

Lightning strikes high objects.

uh yeah, high GROUNDED objects

also dark is weak vs bug because evil people hate bugs yes but ghosts nah they're fine

[Raikaria]

uh yeah, high GROUNDED objects

Why do planes not fly during heavy storms and inclement weather? It's not safe.

Why do birds seek shelter during a thunderstorm?

What's more bizzare, and I've never quite got, is why Steel ISN'T weak to Electric.

Anyway, I think I'll stop moaning about the flavor of Fairy until we know the full list of Fairy-types, and Fairy-type moves, and the type chart of Fairy-types. Maybe it will make sense later,

[Suikama]

Why do birds seek shelter during a thunderstorm?

because of the rain?

[Edible]

This may actually be the dumbest argument on the board atm and there's probably a powerlevel debate somewhere I haven't crushed. :V

[Suikama]

fairys obv have a higher power level on the mythical scale than dragons that's why they counter them

[Raikaria]

This may actually be the dumbest argument on the board atm and there's probably a powerlevel debate somewhere I haven't crushed. :V

Well I never intended this to become an argument. Just me being me and getting irritated when people don't seem to even understand my PoV [Not agree with it... understand it]

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Of course I understood it. You don't think the term 'fairy' fits as well as other words do. I was also saying it's really a petty thing for you to be getting worked up about, if it's really nothing more than an issue of word choice. :V

[Jana]

I dunno about you guys, I'm just excited to get to PET FLUFFY POKEMON

[Raikaria]

It's also 'Why exactly are fairies strong against dragons? I don't see the logic.' and 'Why exactly are Marill and Gardevoir Fairies now?'

[Suikama]

i think fairy is meant to be more like whismical creature than tiny creature with butterfly wings

[BT]

>Pokemon-Amie
It literally burns.

Also: My Marill Can't Possibly Counter This Dragon

[ErASeR MOdER MAxiMUM]

You can pet the Pokemon and feed them pretty patties.

i think those might be macaroons
