What if Fairy-type existed in Gen I?

Aside from Hikamaru's opinion (or fact), I would imagine that Fairy would be a pointless type. I mean, why make a type whose only purpose is to nerf dragons, when there were only three Dragon-types and one Dragon-type move? And that move doesn't even apply the normal damage formula.

Rather than saying they exist to punish the Dragon-types, I say they appear to round the (competitive) battle scene. Don't forget the fact that there are four other types, namely the Dark, the Fighting, the Poison and the Steel-types who are affected by the glittery type. (:

Moving on to a new topic:
So far the Fairy-type moves are almost exclusive to the Special category and Status category. Should we see more additions of the said categories? Conversely and similarly, we are lacking of a Physical Fairy-type move. To be exact, we have only one, Play Rough. If they were to introduce more Physical Fairy moves, what effects should these moves have?

Only one Physical Fairy move. I guess the next one would be a tough move to make, considering the fact that there are also a relatively few amount of Physical Psychic and Special Fighting moves.

But I suggest the new move could involve claws or fangs in some way. Maybe even the belly could work (Am I kidding?), so there could be another move most Pokémon could benefit from, like Granbull, Azumarill, and Wigglytuff.

Oh, I also realized there's only one Fairy-type TM. We should probably add more Fairy moves like Play Rough and Moonblast.

Hmmmm it should be both onde with good pp and power (like wing attack) one with great damage but loss of status, (like superpower) and one with decent power and crit chance (like slash) that a lot of pokes can learn.

Something like Glitter Slap (a Fairy variant of Wake-Up Slap), Fairy Wing (a variant of Seed Bomb or Wing Attack) or even Sparkling Dash (a variant of Double-edge and Brave Bird) would work too.

I'd love to see Moonblast as a TM move, Togekiss really needs that move tbh.

Remember the Fairy-type is still new, which is why not many moves exist for it yet. I'm sure the movepool will be expanded greatly when 7th Gen gets released.

Light of Ruin is an interesting move in that it's apparently the only special attack that has a recoil side-effect. But yeah I do hope we get such an event sometime.

Which Fairy type Pokemon do you find to be the best battler?

Whimsicott isn't a great battler, but good for status effects.

However, the two Fairies I think deserve this title are Mega Gardevoir and Azumarill. The former can spam Hyper Voice all it wants, and the latter can kill anything with Aqua Jet, though for this to work you should use one turn and lose half your HP.

Many other Fairies aren't as great, but still great in the metagame, like Klefki, Mawile, and Granbull.

Ah yes Azumarill was practically a case of getting buffed with every new generation. I feel like the changes it got in previous generations was all part of a set-up to make it the cutest boss to ever grace the competitive scene, and we have the Fairy-type to thank for it.

Mawile is definitely one who quite rose fast, with the Mega being so strong it was banned to Ubers. Hard to believe that before 6th Gen it was so lowly as far as tiers were concerned. Klefki, which shares the same type combination, plays more on the defensive side which I guess is a counterpart to Mawile mainly being an attacker.

What is your opinion towards the Fairy type in battle?

The Fairy type is a wonderful type in battle. Not only does it do super effective damage against three types, but it's also immune to Dragon-types. Fighting, a very common offensive type in the game, suffers from this, and sometimes doesn't have good moves to counter them. One of the types that resists it, Fire, fails to be a good defensive type most of the time and falls flat when facing Fairies, particularly Azumarill and Diancie. Its only true threats are rarely used offensively, making it a good typing defensively. If you're evil enough, make a good offensive Fairy (winks at Granbull) learn Earthquake or some other good Ground-type move to destroy those Poison- and Steel-type foes.

It does suffer a lot, however.

Fairies typically have a low Speed and Defense, meaning even a Close Combat would finish them before they can even boost their stats. Also, because it's the newest type, it suffers by having a lack of good offensive moves, having only one Physical move, and Dazzling Gleam being the only TM so far. Since Poison and Steel are usually Physical types, especially when using Poison Jab or Iron Head, it won't be long before the Fairy faints from a worthy foe like a Cobalion. And remember when I mentioned Ground-type moves? Well, good luck fainting Skarmory without a Slurpuff on your team.
Even with all this being said, Fairy is a good type if you know how to use it.

I really have to love Angelo's response here. The fact that Fairy's major weaknesses are physical-based means that the type really doesn't stand up well against an opponent that isn't special, unless if you have the bulkiness of Carbink hehehe

Being the newest type and therefore lacking in the moves department makes sense, but hopefully 7th Gen will continue to expand the type, as long as they put focus into it, such as adding more new moves and hopefully new Fairy type combinations.

Oh, and a notice: Name changes are now happening, so if you're getting a name change please let me know so that I can update your name on the members list. Confusion is the last thing I'd want to go through here.

I have to say I really enjoy using fairies in battle. I'm currently doing a mono fairy run of Y but I have to say that sadly Flabebe's not the bulkiest of pokemon... Although like stated previously I love the Gardevior line. And I know Azurill will be my tank when exolved.

How do you feel about "non-fairy" Pokemon getting the fairy typing but others that resemble fairies being left out?

It haunts me that Mesprit, Uxie and Azelf aren't Fairy-types. Even in the names, they deserve a Fairy-type. But did Game Freak decide to do that? No. Instead they just gave it to other random Pokémon...like Mr. Mime. WHY?! I get that Mr. Mime needs some buffing, but why this?!

The buff that Mr. Mime needs are its stats, not the typing. I say Game Freak has done a bad move on that; while people are criticizing the decisions on making the Snubull line as a Fairy-type, they've forgotten the Mime Jr. line! Lol

As for the Lake Trio, I think their type changes were ignored on purpose; Celebi, Jirachi also remained untouched. Let's just hope that they'll get their well deserved Fairy typing, when they were given alternative forms (by any means).

I have to say I really enjoy using fairies in battle. I'm currently doing a mono fairy run of Y but I have to say that sadly Flabebe's not the bulkiest of pokemon... Although like stated previously I love the Gardevior line. And I know Azurill will be my tank when exolved.
The Flabébé line is slightly like the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, she becomes reliable as she evolves into her final evolutionary stage! ;) She performs even better in Double and Triple battles!

Here's an interesting note, Florges has 50 points less base stat than the pseudo-legendary Pokémon!

Why you like Fairies: Fairy is one of my all-time favourite additions to the Pokemon franchise. This is because I'm a huge fan of fairies in general, I watch Tinker Bell movies, collect fairy figures and even included my own idea of fairies in a story I'm writing.
What is your favorite Fairy type Pokemon? Why? This is actually slightly harder for me to answer, as I've only experienced Fairies thus far through playing AS. However, Gardevoir has always been a favourite of mine and I was delighted to discover that it is now part Fairy! Seeing Gardevoir use Moonblast has been an absolute joy in my battles!

Hello HudsonBay! Nice seeing you around here as well, haha!

Would you like a golden pixie Pokemon someday? -giggles-
I love Mega Gardevoir too! My M-Gardevoir's Hyper Voice kills too! >:)

Long time no see! You have Hikamaru to thank for that, she mentioned both fan clubs in my introduction post! I would bloody love to see a golden Pixie Pokemon! XD
I made the huge mistake of not teaching my Gardevoir Hyper Voice, as I didn't know what the Mega form's ability was! Obviously need to go heart scale hunting at some point!

Given you chose Gardevoir as your partner there Coby, I bet you'd be shocked to learn it's officially the most picked partner Pokemon in this club, beating the likes of Togekiss, Azumarill and even the club mascot Sylveon. Gardevoir had actually claimed the championship in last year's Favourite Pokemon Tournament as well, after initially being named winner for the Psychic-type title for the third straight year.
