New Pokemon Type: Fairy Type

wraith89 replied to wraith89's topic in Generation 6

I'll be honest and say I am quite bothered at "cutesy wutsy" destroying something that is established as a ferocious, rip apart with no prejudice dragons, which I think is some other form of subversion, but you all know as well as I do Dragons needed balancing. Though here in the East (中/朝鮮/日本 area) faeries of our folklore are not exactly little pixies/sprites that you'd think would be gobbled by a dragon in a second. Although even in the West, Morgan le Fay (key word Fay), Titania, Oberon and other manifestations of faeries were not "cutesy wutsy" and may have suffered the "cherubim" effect where otherwise scary fiery creatures seen in the prophet Ezekiel's vision have become rendered into all but tiny naked puttos with wings and less-than-intimidating bows & arrows. But I digress. The fairy type of Pokemon seem to reflect the feminine and cutesy/wutsy things for the most part, while stereotypical dragons are ferocious looking and vicious by nature (Dragonite being a major exception). As a type to balance out the Dragon centralised metagame, I will say it is needed, should it be immune to Dragon as they think it is. Even if just resistant, at least these types could actually strike back and do something, unlike Skarmory who will be put into KO range after taking 2 boosted Outrages and phazing its Dragon type foe out. Even though nothing about Fairies other than the fact it has an advantage against Dragons is confirmed, I am still quite worried about the major impact it can bring to the metagame. What if it becomes the new "Dragon" / "Water" / "Normal" where it has a WIDE neutral coverage? I do not think it was even mentioned it was not every effective against Steels (though I think it might due to Steel's nature of resisting nearly everything that isn't super effective to them). It is going to make the core types of the metagame uncomfortable or comfortable, but I think it would be wise if it would not be super-effective against Dark (and please stop giving Ice types more weaknesses than it already has!). However, I will reserve judgement until actual information regarding this type comes, but my biggest worry is the potential of it being gamebreaking. inb4 Cosmic Power becomes Fairy type

I still don't get it. Flying's never been the primary type: EVER. But whatever, they can break the rules whenever they'd like to.

Ninetales. People keep getting her name wrong. Nine + TALES. Yes, it is a pun on tails, but... blergh. It's actually more unique than people think it is (the name). Voltorb, Electrode, Haunter, Persian, etc... there's no going back. But Talonflame sticks out really. Voltorb still... I don't know, it feels just fine. Or maybe I got used to it. I don't know. Talonflame is like... a talon full of flame oooh!

Clauncher is cute. But it should not outclass Kingler and Crawdaunt. Eh, I can live with it: it actually looks like Pokemon unlike the majority of Gen Vs.

I'll be honest and I have problems with fairies due to "feminine" beating something established as "masculine" and ferocious, but most of you would think I'm looking too much into it. True, but things like that does bother me. But as a type, if it is THE Dragon counter, it was needed,.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=sSMQxYfwGnA#t=2580s Creepy Japanese play here (at around 44 minutes), but before Sylveon's type was known, it was quite hinted that it would be at a disadvantage vs Poison but strong against Ice. I really hope not for the sake of Ice types: they need more balancing (just what do they have against them?). Last thing they need is another weakness, but would do well to have another resistance (resisting Fairy would be pretty cool).

Noivern (Noise or Noir + Wyvern... I guess)... why is it Flying / Dragon? Why is Flying its primary and Dragon second? @__@

Talonflame looks cool but... what a name. It's too... I don't know, tacky? It had better not outclass Moltres and Charizard, but knowing these new generations, they WILL do that. At least the Pokemon look like Pokemon at this time and not like Gen V.

That Fairy Flower makes me wonder if Lilligant and Bellossom may become part Fairy types as well. I don't know much about anything else,

If Fairy is neutral to nearly anything, that wouldn't be balancing, but making of yet another overpowered typing, so I hope the resistance chart spreads more than just Psychic and Fire.

Most people are starting to believe Fairy is actually neutral to Dark and that Fairy Wind is some 60 BP move, or else Hydreigon would not survive the attack. I'm starting to believe it as well... unless it's the Fairy equivalent of Struggle Bug or something.

New Pokemon Type: Fairy Type

wraith89 replied to wraith89's topic in Generation 6

The rumours have it that Fairies are strong against Dark and Fighters and not weak to them, though I will not speak for certain. Should the rumours regarding Fairy's type advantages be true, it looks like Fairies were designed JUST to take the three dominant types in this game: Dragons, Fighting, and to a lesser extent, Dark. Dark types keep Psychics from even being used much because Tyranitar and Scizor keeps Pursuiting everything to death. Fighters are... just fighters with strong coverage against nearly anything (Conkeldurr is a monster), and Dragons, as we know, tears anything to bits. I don't know why it should have an advantage against Dark, as adding another weakness that's so tight-knit within that side of the typing spectrum could prove fatal. And even so, their countermeasures (that have been rumoured) are Poison and Steel, the two types that are not very useful offensively but are quite useful defensively (since Poison resists Fighting, Bug, and Poison, some key types, and eats up Toxic Spikes), and Fairies are not very effective against Psychics. I don't see the Ghost type anywhere here (though I hope Ghost resists Fairy), but seeing all the potential types involved, one has to wonder if Fairies will overcentralise the metagame by having everybody pack at least one and a Fairy counter while everything starts packing random Iron Tails for them. It is quite curious. Although Clefairy would be a fairy nominally, I hope it isn't. Or else Wigglytuff once more will not be used over Clefable for any reason, but it may be likely. Gah. Snubbull and the rest I can see. But if this means "Fairy egg type", you're going to get Fairy Glalies or Pikachus too. (Fairy Glalie will sound interesting because Gardevoir received a secondary typing where its alternate evolution already had one... same deal with Glalie). Something like Ninetales or Mismagius may even inherit the typing... and God forbid Blissey becomes one. It was always Dragons tearing it apart with strong physical attacks and now it will eat them for breakfast. Not to mention its newfound weakness to Bullet Punch. It... just will not be the same. As for triple types, while it sounds nice as a novelty, it overcomplicates things. Adding Dragon typing to Gyarados... I don't think I want a Gyarados that is only 2x weak to electricity (if that is how it works)... nor do I want a Charizard not weak to Water. Dual typed attacks are something to think about. Something like Fire/Water attack would be pretty nice, but I wonder how STAB or any of that factoring would work, because it sounds to be a little overpowered if double STAB is factored into it.

wraith89 replied to wraith89's topic in Generation 6

Seeing "MOONBLAST", I was hoping Cresselia would gain Fairy type so it'd be even more effective against Dragons (Garchomp's worst nightmare), and actually can fight off Darkrai as her lore says she is supposed to. Although I would not like that thing to be more to Scizor than it already is, particularly to Bullet Punch. U-turn/Pursuit already gives her nightmares. You'd think all those pixies like Mew/Celebi and the likes would be Fairy too. Maybe, but I do not know if they'd go out of their way to change their established typing (it has been done with the Rotom forms) or add a third typing.

New Pokemon Type: Fairy Type

wraith89 posted a topic in Generation 6

With a name like "Fairy Type", I know this sounds like some well thought out trolling, but apparently, after a long time, Sylveon has been confirmed as a Fairy Type Pokemon. At least it sells better than "Flying type" or "Fighting type". At long last, four generations after the second generation of Pokemon, another type has been added to the type charts. Before we go bashing how lame or how cutesy "Fairy" sounds, let us see what Fairy types are capable of. It seems apparent that Fairies are supposed to be the counter to the dreaded overlords of the metagame, DRAGONS. Let's admit it. So far, our current metagame was about using Draco Meteor / Outrage when all the opponent's Steel Pokemon (the only type that resists Dragon) are gone. Dragons are very much dominant in this metagame. Just how good are Fairy Types supposed to be on stopping Dragons? We know Dragons are weak to Dragon and Ice, but none of them are resistant to Dragon, even the former being weak to it. From what I hear (and I am not entirely sure how true this is), Fairies are IMMUNE to Dragon attacks, making them much more designated in countering Dragons. This will affect the metagame tremendously, and like how Dark and Steel types were created to counteract the dominant Psychic and Normal types of 1st Generation, Fairies may be the long awaited answer to those overpowered Dragons! New fairy moves called Moonblast and Fairy Wind has been confirmed and it has been shown to be super-effective against Dragons. I wonder what the theme for Fairy attacks would be (example: Dark types are unusual attacks with effects that rely on deceit like Pursuit/Sucker Punch). Now I do not know entirely how true what I say after is, but as for Fairy types, it is supposedly good against Dark and Fighting types as well. It is not very effective against Psychics and Fires (Victini = anti-fairies), resistances are unknown, and are weak to Steel and Poison. If true, our current metagame may see rise to offensive Poison and Steel type attacks, which were almost non-existent due to their poor coverage (asides from Scizor's Bullet Punch or Metagross's Meteor Mash and the likes). If this is true, the metagame will have a direct answer to Dragons while allowing some lesser offensive types to be seen more. If all done well, I think Fairy types would be a welcome addition to the current metagame. Although I do wish they would do something about Ice type's lack of resistances. [sprite]039[/sprite] [sprite]183[/sprite] [sprite]282[/sprite] These three (Jigglypuff, Marill, and Gardevoir) are also confirmed to have Fairy type added along their original Normal, Water, and Psychic typing, respectively. I don't want Azumarill to be neutral to Bullet Punch So what are your thoughts to the new Fairy Type? How do you think it will affect the current metagame? Will they balance it out or will they break it? Or you do not wish for almighty Dragons to be under the mercy of some overinflated balloon? Keep in mind that the only things confirmed are (as of 12 June 2013): Fairy Godparents types exist Sylveon is a Fairy type Moonblast and Fairy Wind are two new Fairy attacks Fairy types are super-effective against Dragon types Jigglypuff, Marill, and Gardevoir have an additional Fairy type added to their primary typing Rumoured speculations by other people that can be debunked once truth is confirmed (contradictory ideas are stated too) Fairy types may be IMMUNE to Dragon attacks (if not, it is resistant) Fairy types mayt be effective against Dark and Fighting types as well Fairy types may actually just be neutral to Dark Fairy types may not be effective on Fighting types either Fairy types may be effective against Ice types Fairy types may not be very effective against Psychic and Fire types Fairy types may be weak to Poison and Steel type attacks (strong hints towards the former) Links: Pokemon XY Official Site Confirming Fairy Types Trailer Briefly Covering Fairy Types

I actually have not thought about that. Stuff like that would be interesting, as Koreans are actually pretty good at maths. But I'm not sure about the kids in my school: they seem to struggle at even finding Volumes of a 3D shape.

Fairy Type Pokemon. Sylveon confirmed as Fairy, along with Marill, Jigglypuff and Gardevoir. Finally Jigglypuff has something to distinguish itself from Clefairy (unless Clefairy becomes Fairy too). Eww Gardevoir is now weak to Bullet Punch too. Azumarill won't resist it >_<

Apparently, Fairys are IMMUNE to Dragon (a much needed "counterbalance" to Dragons as Gen II did to Psychics?), strong against DARK, FIGHTING, and DRAGON (Hydreigon got GGd), not very effective against PSYCHIC and FIRE (I'm not so sure about the NVEs though), and weak to POISON and STEEL. Resistances are not known yet. As if we needed Scizor to become more rampant in this metagame. What do you think will happen to this metagame then?

You can say that. I've had it with them, to be honest. But I do what I have to do, because it is my responsibility. I just dislike their behaviour of entitlement and whatnot, because they think they're doing awesome, but in reality, find so many devious ways to disrupt everything I try to do. On a personal level, I like them. On a classroom level, they do not know how to differentiate between playtime and class time, and can be difficult to deal with in this rotten generation especially. Korean boys and girls: girls grow up to become like boys or sluts (it's no different from the West; it's more extreme here, even though westerners claim girls are more feminine here, which by my observation is not completely true), while most boys end up acting like sodomites and becoming effeminate. It is a mess, and I am sure the education system is behind this. I see girls dressed up very femininely as a kindergartener to 2nd grade, but after that, they all look like androgynous slobs.

I teach all from Kindergarten to 6th grade. Some of these kids actually seem to talk about Bureku and Hwhitu Kuremu (Korean phonetic way of saying Black/White Kyurem), particularly 3rd/4th graders who seem to know about it. Too bad I'm a genwunner, but I oddly know about all the new guys too <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/mellow.png" alt=":|" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/mellow@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> But I don't think they would expect me to know anything about Pokemon.

Mmm. I have not touched anything in this boards for a while, once again. Though I've been playing around Pokemon Showdown to see how it's like... but I think I like PO better.

After 4 days of no school, I have to head back. I dislike this feeling, but... I do what I must do. And I'm not even the student, just a reluctant teacher who does not like the inadequacy of the education system, despite the fact Koreans feel this is what success looks like.

Need help with Nuzlocke Team

wraith89 replied to ZelkeDark's topic in Generation 5

I do not know where you are up to, but you can basically sweep all major trainers with just Servine (Serperior) with Coil / Leaf Blade / Return / Leech Seed or Giga Drain, with the exception of Brycen, Shauntal's Chandelure and some other Pokemon (Skyla is a bit tough, but is manageable, but if you don't want to risk it... use something else). Scraggy and Drilbur are also very powerful Pokemon and I think Drilbur can cover many of Servine's weaknesses when it evolves. Early Earthquake and Rock Slide just destroys, especially after a Swords Dance. You're also lucky you have found a Sigilyph. If you can get that thing to work, it will be a valuable asset. What particular weaknesses are you finding anyways? I'm not sure if it helps, but I have the major trainers rosters listed here with some tips on how to beat them. I'm not sure how well it may work on Nuzlocke, but you have some of the right Pokemon. Now if you are lucky enough to encounter Axew...

Yes, I ironically find more hope in the very nation that compromises freedom than in "liberated" South Korea. If a war should break out and it the Korean peninsula goes under the control of the Neo-West, we are doomed. It just calls for globalisation and ultimately the destruction of all that is Korean. We South Koreans do that and we don't even realise it. Actually, they even allow it, so much that they'd think you are retarded for wearing traditional clothing daily or you need to get your head examined. I plan on doing it one day: I'll show them I'm not afraid to be Korean unlike all these other idiots.

It's comfort. It's apathy. It's a variety of factors: we now take things for granted and have a sense of entitlement for things we shouldn't be felt entitled to. In fact, we're so comfortable we have all lost actual skills to be human. It's only a matter of time before we are fully dependent on the monster of a world government that is to come.

I already know. In fact, they've already crossed the point of no return. It will only get worse from this point. They are too comfortable in this mess.

On the contrary, the North does NOT have a culture, or at least not as pronounced. All the culture comes from South Korea, since the actual capital of Korea before it was divided is Seoul, which is in South Korea. Since North Korea was not rich for that, it was easy for the Communists to form their own there. However, some old Korean culture still remains there, although a bit twisted due to Juche and Kimilsungism and whatnot. I only think about the North because it is a time machine, and asides from Pyongyang, most of its citizens are NOT comfortable, which means there is hope there yet for a change. South is far from it unless an internal chaos occurs.

Heh, I was born in the modern times too: nothing to be proud of a divided puppet nation. It's not like I completely hate modernism, but so much bad stuff are packaged with it.

It's such a crying shame: I'd give all just to see Korea restore itself to its rightful place. I have dreams of a better Korea: being an effective puppet of the USA doesn't cut it for the South, while the North is well, you know... let's say if it weren't for Juche and their form of government, it would be my kind of place. In fact, should it ever become sane, I'd move in a heartbeat.

Canada? Well, you can be proud that you thwarted US invasions multiple times... though right now, all of that is going for naught, so it's hard to ever be nationalistic anymore with this "global citizen" entitlement thinking everybody has.

Yeah I figured it's based off France, but I hate how they make it so small: France is a large nation, and it's full of heritage. I love what it was: I hate what it has become. I am going to assume the new games will reflect some of the stuff I hate about it.

Entei with flash fire invalid

I don't even know if a Flash Fire Entei is legally released yet either. Did you make this Entei from scratch or is it legally caught? If it is just normally caught with no modifications, there should be no problems unless the database is not updated, which I doubt since something like a Flash Fire Entei would be a noticeable event. I have not checked all the loose ends like PID and whatnot since I am no expert at that, but you should list what you did so somebody can tell where you went wrong.

Whichever one I'd play with (and that depends purely on their aesthetics)... if boy gets awesome late 18th century costume complete with a cravat, that would be great.
