Not liking the graphics at all. Honestly thought they finally got 2d right in Black/White with their idle sprite animations and that they could have expanded on that.

I don't think they could have. The resolution of the 3DS screen is not high enough for a significant improvement over the sprites used in the NDS Pokemon games. It wouldn't have looked much better.

I am impressed with Nintendos ability to code bench sitting



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

The Fairy strengths and weaknesses make absolutely no sense. It's like they said "here is a list of pokemon types that need nerfs. Let's make Fairy good against them. Now here is a list of pokemon types that need more use, so let's make the Fairy type weak against them."

Someone's never seen Fern Gully.

Machines (Steel) and toxic waste (Poison) destroy the fairies' home of the rainforest.

The dragon immunity and strength (since Dragons are part of fairy tales) makes sense. Psychic resisting  them (logic over make believe) also makes sense. I don't have anything for Fire resisting them though. XD



Also good to see that they've been cleaning up the graphics and adding details since we've last seem them.

I actually thought their weaknesses made sense. Not the other half. :p

Super Effective against:

Dragon

Dark

Fighting

Fire

I don't see the logic. Why are fairies good against dragons? Why against Fighting? Why against Fire?

Dragons are fairy tale monsters you say, so fairies are good against them? The same logic could apply backwards, no? I don't understand this one yet. I'll give you this, it makes sense to me that Psychic resists them and that they're good against dark. Fairies represent light and drive away darkness. But why are they super effective against Fire? Fairies are like angels. Angelic type monsters (like valkyries) tend to be weak against Fire in other games.

Fighting (are fairies pacifists? ) and Fire (I got nothing.) are definitely reaching for sure, and I'd say that those two (with Dragon) are moreso reasons to balance the game (especially for dragon and fighting, who have taken over the metagame offensively) and to boost fire (which has been a bad typing for a couple of generations now).

They just need to nerf stealth rock. Please GameFreak, please nerf stealth rock.

No no, not fairy tale monsters. Fairy Tail monsters.

Fairies are good against Fire. That's a nerf to Fire. Right?

NO, you miss read it. It is super effective against Dragon, Dark and Fighting. And Fairy Type attacks are weak against Fire and Psychic.

  • Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting.
  • Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.

    Basil's formatting was a bit kooky. It should read this:

    • Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.

    So Fire types and Psychic types resist Fairy attacks.

    EDIT: Ninja'd! Curses!
