Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread
The whole idea of faeries is like numbing. Anyways hopefully the introduction of a new type like this will bring about reviews of not only normal pokemon but also other flying/normal pokemon - thinking of Altaria (Pokémon) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia evolutionary line.
On more ice weakness < hopefully there is a type weaknesses/strength change in general.
They'll probably have Fairies represent a mix of European (Xerneas), modern Western (Sylveon, Clefairy, if it's re-typed), and Japanese (Dunsparce!) views, maybe some angelic creatures too.
Just like Ghost and Dragon Pokemon take ideas from multiple views of those creatures.

I think the fairy type sounds fine. Clearly, some pokemon like Clefairy (who's type would probably be retconned to be Fairy) just aren't "Normal". Fairylike and healing powers aren't by any means "Normal". But they aren't quite most other types either. Given that we already have Dragon as a type (as Joshawott pointed out), what in the world is wrong with Fairy? I think it's probably one of the best ideas. It would also have pretty clear weaknesses and advantages due to stories and previous fictions. I don't understand why it would be strong against Ice, though. But I could easily see it maybe being weak to Poison and Steel maybe. And possibly strong against Dark, Ghost, and Dragon maybe. Overall, I believe that we will get a new type, and Fairy would be fine by me. I'm just a bit concerned that Ice is going to be even more of a punching bag.
As for the newly revealed mons, I really like them. Of the four new ones, my favorite is probably the Panda or Goat. I could see the panda evolving into either Fighting/Grass or Fighting/Dark. I think that the Electric lizard thing may lose its Normal typing in exchange for maybe Flying or Dragon upon evolving.
