06.11.13 | It's so stupid where people were like "WAH A FAIRY TAHP" when a fairy egg-type already exists. and egg types were already type centric (with a few exceptions) http://www.youtube.com/embed/gmywDbnC5oc
-gender unknown: no-type, just pokemon-specific
-field: covers mammal pokemon, most normal and ground types, along with many of most of the other types as well.
-water 1, 2, and 3: obviously, they're all water type based. water 1 being general see-dwelling pokemon, water 2 being mostly fishy pokemon, water 3 is interestingly has all of the fossil pokemon and covers a lot of the ancients, water or non-water
- plant: grass, duh
- bug: bug, duh
- flying: birds mostly, bats too
- dragon: dragon, duh
- monster: rather type ambiguous actually
- ditto: lakie type (hehe :3)
- and fairy type: type ambiguous until now! |

06.11.13 | oops, wrong link. http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/egg/fairy.shtml |
pmmets07
06.11.13 | i'm down with fairy type. it'll probably give some of the previous normals an advantage, plus you
won't have to rely on ice types when you don't have a dragon in your party |
demigod!
06.11.13 | a new type of pokemon would be really neat and refreshing i think. but what would they be good against? lol theyre fairies... i cant imagine them being better than most types in terms of type advantages |
pmmets07
06.11.13 | the charizard animation looks sweet in that vid |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | yep, also, it's extremely likely that
A - they'll rework the type chart to accommodate this new type and add in some re-balancing as they had in Gen II when Dark and Steel were added.
and/or B - Poison will have an advantage over this type.
Both are good, but I'd prefer if both happened! |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | in type advantage and disadvantage...
-weak to poison
-either weak or strong against dark
-which could suggest a weakness or resistance against fighting (weakness because lol, they're fairies, but resistance because they're magical and shit!) I'm going to guess, they'll resist fighting in the same way psychic does
- speaking of which, they'll probably resist psychic (which sucks because psychic already sucks as it is!) because, you know, fairies and magic are illogical or something to that effect.
-possibly weak to ghost types
-hopefully strong against and/or resist steel types (because steel is fucking broken, dammit. and besides, in rpgs, mages kill armor-clad knights!) |

06.11.13 | fairy type o: |
toxin.
06.11.13 | @cyg i think it's super effective against dark, it's definitely at least neutral b/c that fairy move was super effective on hydreigon |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | Your very right, toxman.. And it didn't look like it was 4* damage either so that seems to have settled that issue. |
GreyShadow
06.11.13 | looks so awesome |
Uranium
06.11.13 | "Megaman is in Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS"
Oh mah gawd. I hope Megamanx (with super armor) and/or zero are unlockables. |
toxin.
06.11.13 | yea didn't look like 4x either, i'd probably guess it's neutral
i hope ice resists fairy for no other reason beyond ice being a horribly shitty defensive typing lol |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | Yeah. I made ground do half to ice in my hacked game. ;) |
toxin.
06.11.13 | lol maybe like flying too, that'd make it decent. tho with stealth rock ice will always be a shittier typing |
toxin.
06.11.13 | Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.
poor ice |
toxin.
06.11.13 | Noivern is one ugly fucker for a dragon damn |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | Wait tox. Is that legit? |
toxin.
06.11.13 | i'm not sure if it's legit, it was on an /r/pokemon comment. |
Trebor.
06.11.13 | I support fairy marriage 2013 |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | yeah, it should be legit. I'm gonna be a flamboyant fairy proponent from now on, you guys. bring on da flamboyants. |
ViralOblivion
06.11.13 | So excited for this gonna get both versions this october is gonna eat my wallet |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | omfg, why does errybody say light?
ain't no way a "light" pokemon are gonna do double to a dragon. and dark is generally a pretty shitty type. since gen 4 on, pursuit has been used widely sure, but I'd hate to be a dark type, for the most part.
dark doesn't need to be balanced out, it's pretty much fine as it is. same goes with fighting. I don't see why they did that.
if anything, Fairy should have done half to grass because grass sucks, defensively, anyways. |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | "also a jigglypuff will now have super effective attacks against dragons retarded"
no, it's a fucking great idea, because dragons have always been retarded. it's about time some puff balls put them in their fucking face. |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | "and a fairy will? lol"
japanese fairies may be far different than our traditional Irish ones. you never know, lakor. |
ViralOblivion
06.11.13 | fairy type pokemon is a great idea dragons need more weaknesses it wouldn't be a problem if they made more Ice pokemon |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | what's even more stupid about the light type, is that it will be inherently linked to dark type. dark type in general has absolutely no connection to darkness, shadows, or even evil, except dark pulse. dark type pretty much only has to do with dirty, un-respectable fighting (sucker punch, biting, payback).
dark doesn't need an antithesis because it already has one: fighting. which represents martial arts, ordered, skillful, and "honorable" fighting.
and even if light would be considered, what the hell would it do? have 10 different skills that basically flash a big light or beam of light at the enemy? that's fucking boring. we know it can't be "clean" fighting, considering we already have that.
and what about solarbeam? would that be a light type move, or would that be a grass type? and what about the weather? would light benefit from sunny day and not any of the others? because solarbeam and fire already cover that. |
ViralOblivion
06.11.13 | Plus normal types need an advantage of some kind being immune to ghost types isn't enough |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | lakes, notice how almost no normal types end up in OU tier. the ability to learn things like flamethrower and thunderbolt for no good reason is fairly shallow considering that like 90% of normal types have special attack as their lowest stat.
and for the record, normal types don't normally learn moves from the following: bug, dark, psychic (to some extent), dragon, grass (except some get grass knot), steel, and rock. |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | also normal types don't have an super effectives (which they shouldn't, for that matter), nor do they resist anything. |
treeqt.
06.11.13 | normals just fucking suck |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | yep. that's why they're called normals. |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | ugh, casual people's ignorance will only get them so far. I had to lecture people why their flamethrower doesn't do shit, and why their tackle does so much more damage. it was ugh.
and no, the game is not all that easy, have you even faced Whitney, lakes? |
toxin.
06.11.13 | "should've been light type to balance out dark"
personally i agree with this but meh guess we'll have to live with fairy |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | yeah yeah, but things were simpler in gold. fire was always speshul and junk. supposedly, gold and silver was a lot easier than red and blue, but whatev's. |
toxin.
06.11.13 | the thing about japanese fairies being different is a good pt tho |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | "personally i agree with this but meh guess we'll have to live with fairy"
please see my previous rants. |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | this the only thing I can find right now.
"In Japanese Buddhism, an angel or fairy, a heavenly, beautiful person who may appear on a mountain. To meet one, the pilgrim has to climb to the summit." |
pmmets07
06.11.13 | i can't wait for this game. i'm just hoping they don't introduce too much gimmicky bullshit or tamper with previous evo lines |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | I doubt they'll have too, perry. they have an entire egg group called fairy and so far, every fair type they've introduced (mawile, marill, jiggs) have been a part of this egg group EXCEPT for gardevoir.
this egg group also includes pikachu too. it'd be interesting to see if pikachu is now electric/fairy, which isn't a bad type at all. 3 weaknesses, sure, but fuck dragons! I'm also interested in seeing whether or not togekiss will end up being fairy/flying. I def think it should because really any type > normal. I also think altaria, the most useless fully evolved dragon type, should be dragon/fairy. would be sweet as fuck. |
toxin.
06.11.13 | mawille is a fairy/steel? whoa that might be a hell of a typing, esp if fairy is weak to poison (steel cancels it out) |
toxin.
06.11.13 | nope ice < normal, tho ice offensively rules, |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | I always had a bit of a softspot for lickitung. i think its because Jesse's one was a beast.
"mawille is a fairy/steel? whoa that might be a hell of a typing, esp if fairy is weak to poison (steel cancels it out)"
yep, and steel resists steel so there's that. she'sstill weak to fire, ground, and fighting, but can double fighting types now. |
Trebor.
06.11.13 | wtf I love ice, usually ice/water but whatever |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | ice is a cool type (lol), they just suck defensively. |
toxin.
06.11.13 | ice water is pretty solid yea but cuz water rules face, in any case water > water/ice for competitive
obv in your in-game party water/ice is chill b/c if you're facing one of its weaknesses you just switch out |
Trebor.
06.11.13 | god no one gives a fuck about competitive, video games are meant to be played alone in a dark room |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | "I will always love pokemon and I'm eagerly awaiting these games but damb some of y'all niggas have put way too much thought into this shit"
hey, when people be like "this is horrible! it's the worst thing evar!" I have to reason with them. |
treeqt.
06.11.13 | well yeah dude that's where http://www.pokemon-online.eu/ comes in (or whatever you use nowadays, didn't play that shit in at least 2 years). |
toxin.
06.11.13 | @hep
nah man it's the difference between comparing guns in an FPS story and an FPS competitive mode, same thing for pokemon. anyone who's played competitive pokemon thus will have an understanding of what's good and what's not
@treb, correct: you don't give a fuck about competitive*. it's not like i play competitively with my friends, they all suck anyways; it's all about online. tho group video games rule anyways so you're wrong about that anyways |
toxin.
06.11.13 | correction*
@ilovetree, there's a new server called pokeshowdown or sth, idk but yea i quit about 1.5 yrs ago when they were on pokemon online |
Cygnatti
06.11.13 | yes, yes it is. |
ShadowRemains
06.11.13 | "Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it."
lol, steel is already broken as is |
toxin.
06.11.13 | "lol, steel is already broken as is"
not offensively.
@hep it's deeper than any given FPS lol. |
treeqt.
06.12.13 | Not really comparable tbh. |
Cygnatti
06.12.13 | not a fair comp, toxman.. fps games are really 1D, mang. |
toxin.
06.12.13 | w/e the point remains that they both have main stories, whose gameplay lends itself well to online play
that is all i meant |
treeqt.
06.12.13 | fps are 1 dimensional? |
tommygun
06.12.13 | srs |
Cygnatti
06.12.13 | Jk treeqt. |
treeqt.
06.12.13 | ok! |
toxin.
06.12.13 | wow fairy IMMUNE to dragon?
holy shit if chancey/blissey are type fairy they're gonna go uber |
toxin.
06.12.13 | wait
wait wait
that makes me fucking excited
if chansey and blissey go uber
they won't be in OU
i literally might start playing competitive again |
Cygnatti
06.12.13 | Hell yeah. So stoke about this.
Lakie, I know for sure how broken dragons are (I have two of them in my main team). I also have an ice type for good measure, though.
Good for you toxman! I have plate online in like two years either. Interesting stuff here. Def want to try out an azumarill now and one shot dragons. |
pmmets07
06.12.13 | has anyone here tried completing the pokedex? i'm reaaaaal close to completing a living dex for white 2 (unova, not national). shit takes forever. |
Trebor.
06.12.13 | The lion dude is cute
There's rumors he'll evolve into a fucking manticore holy shit that would be sweet |
Cygnatti
06.12.13 | No perry. I've never tried. Too much of a hassle with no real reward. Reward should be like 5 of every stone, 10 of every vitamin, and like $1000k. |
Cygnatti
06.12.13 | Which lion dude? |
pmmets07
06.12.13 | if you complete the natl dex in white 2 you get a shiny charm that increases your odds of encountering a shiny by i think 3x. that's pre cool but still not worth it. |
Cygnatti
06.12.13 | That's pretty cool actually. |
toxin.
06.12.13 | 'i suck at competitive i always get paired up with some random japanese kid and i get destroyed it's like mario kart i can do 150cc no prob but i go online and i lose every time'
lol japanese people rape every game. but building your own team in-game is kinda dumb, i have one in my heart gold and it took me like 25 hours to build, arond 60 if you include getting power items and shit. not worth it, pokemon showdown >
and yea shiny charm fuckin' rules, just a nice little thing to have |
treeqt.
06.12.13 | "lol japanese people rape every game."
but that's not true! |
treeqt.
06.12.13 | but there has never been even one relevant japanese dota/sc2/wc3/cs player. |
toxin.
06.12.13 | ok they rape a lot of games omg better? |

06.13.13 | Actually, I'm down with 999 rare candies. Make it happen, game freak! |
