Pokemon X and Pokemon Y

[SlowPokemon]

You know, originally I hated the idea of a Fairy-type, but where that page says Mawile could be Steel/Fairy, I find myself surprisingly interested

[Yugi]

And with what Pokemon Smash revealed, if it is a new type its super effective against ice which isnt really helping anything for that type

I always considered Ice to be a "Glass Cannon" type, meaning that I normlly just try to outnuke the other pokemon before I die.

[Bubbles]

But why does it have to be fairy? I'd be happy with any other name

[Nebbles]

I don't know? The name could be worked on but at this point I'm tired of people arguing about it. Light would have sounded better but eh I don't want to nitpick.

[Yugi]

Fairy type might just be the japenese name.

For example, fire type in japan is Lava Type so...

[Nebbles]

exactly

so it could be called light type here or something else so who knows!

[Roz~]

Yeah, just like the Dark type is the Evil type in Japan. Fairy would still makes sense in English though, with 'mons like Clefairy and whatnot.

[SlowPokemon]

I feel like it would kind of ruin our perception of those monsters by changing their types, though, and make using those Pokemon in any non-gen 6 games feel obsolete.

[Roz~]

Well the same thing happened when they introduced the Steel type, but I guess it wasn't "as bad" because there was only one gen between the introduction of the new type, and only the Magnemite line changed, but still... I don't think it'll make them obsolete, Clefairy is still gonna be annoying in NU and Togekiss will still be a monster. (assuming their type changes)

[SlowPokemon]

Oh gosh well Togekiss already has two types...

What if they changed Magnemite's type again for teh lulz

[Roz~]

I'm guessing their Normal type will change to Fairy or whatever it's gonna be called

[JDMEK5]

Wait, so which types are not 16 years old?

[Roz~]

The Dark type and the Steel type were introduced in Gold/Silver, making them 13 years old in America.

[JDMEK5]

Oh. I actually didn't know that. So it wouldn't actually be weird for them to introduce new types..

[Waddle Bro]

You know, when Sylveon is revealed to be Fightning type all theories of a new type are negated, I'm going to say "I told you so" so hard.
