    Say they never created the Fairy type, how different do you think the Pokemon games would be? And what would some of the Fairy type Pokemon in Generation VI and VII be typed instead?

    For starters, well, Dragon types would probably still be op. As for existing Fairy types...
    Hmm.

    Flabebe would be a Normal or Grass type. Pokemon like Diance would maybe be Psychic type instead, and maybe the Tapus would be Psychic types.

    Btw, this is all speculative, so don't think too hard about the question. It's just a what if.

    Hey, it's just a theoretical... don't be sad. @_@

    ...Side note is, I can't really imagine Pokemon without the addition of the Fairy-type anymore...
     
    about the same as they would be pre-XY. although to be honest, i like having fairy-type pokemon around. :> they have their own little niche in not only being a hard counter for dragons, but a nice deterrent for for fighters an dark types.

    That would be pretty bad. Dragon would be too strong and since by the time we got the new type Rock attacks on Fighters were more common and so Flying felt less of a weakness. Though I guess Dark would have been better if the new type didn't exist.

    I suspect people who play competitive Pokemon would still be whining about how strong Dragon-types are, but beyond that? I don't think it'd make much difference. There aren't too many pure Fairy types, and those that are pure Fairy would probably work just as well being Normal types...it's not a particularly specific design category, mostly because it's been unnecessarily tacked-on to a few prior gen Pokemon.

    I never really thought dragon typing was OP. In my mind, it was resisted by steel and weak to ice plus itself. When fairy typing came in, I was kind of shocked especially how dragon doesn't affect fairy. Nowadays, however, I can't see the game without fairy typing. Without fairy typing, I'd say most fairies would be normal typing.
     
    Fairy kinda gave some normal types a second type, and finally gave dragon type a weakness besides itself
