Nintendo has been releasing a lot of new information about Pokemon X/Y in the wake of E3, the release date (October 12th), this new amie nonsense, and craziest of all, a new Pokemon type! We all knew there was going to be a new type announced when they revealed another Eevee-lution, Sylveon, but the type is Fairy? Really?

| Noivern, another fairy |

| That is Vivillion, a new fairy-bug |
In addition to the new Pokemon, there are a few already existing Pokemon that Nintendo said will be re-classified as Fairy. Merrill, Gardevoir and most importantly, Jigglypuff will all now be members of the Fairy family.
I am all for new ideas for our beloved Pokemon franchise, and I'm not some dumb macho homophobe who is going to get all upset about fairy being the new type. If Nintendo can introduce new Pokemon type without disrupting the delicate balance that makes the games great in the first place, then I am 100% supportive. A suggestion? Just get rid of normal types, nobody uses them, and they are a bunch of fairies anyways.
Snubbull should be a Fairy type because the pokedex classifies the species as a Fairy Pokemon through all the games. Why is Marrill a Fairy, it looks like a mouse.
ReplyDeleteAlso a great image of Sylveon and Pikachu.
One thing they brought up in the newest episode, when Ash got his Charizard back, was why Charizard is not a Dragon type. In the episode it fought Iris' Dragonite and besides for a few differences they look very similar. For the original 151, the Dragonite evolution line was the only Dragon type available.
Looking at the listing of all the current Dragons there are no Fire/Dragon types: http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/dragon.shtml
