all the talk about nerfing the fairy-type (and specifically changing their affinity to Dragon-type moves to a resistance) has me thinking...
As you know, there are some pokemon types that are invulnerable to moves of another type. These moves are:
Now of the 6 types that can't be harmed by other types, 2 of which were made to counter the type they are invulnerable to specifically. Dark was introduced in Gold and Silver with an emphasis of bringing the then omnipotent Psychic type down a few pegs and Fairies were introduced in X and Y to do the same to Dragons. However what I want to ask if you think type-based invincibility is fair or not. Do you think the game would be better if every pokemon would take damage from every move? do you think that only the types brought in to specifically counter another type (Dark and fairy) would be better off with their immunities turning into resistances? Or do you think that this kind of type interaction is fine as is?
