have both pre-ordered

but I agree with wfz; what faries are super-effective towards seem like just a nerf for those types of pokemon.

I think faries should be super effective torwards:
Psychic
Ghost
Poison
and I'll give them dark

for years clefairy(which is a given to be a fairy type) will now be able to own fighting pokemon.

When I first saw the news, I immediately thought of you (and smiled an evil smile. >:)).

But then I saw that my Dark types just got an added weakness as well. Curses! *shakes fist*

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

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!


Fair enough, I am glad Nintendo made Fire resistant against Fairy. I wish Fire would be super effective against it, but I'm sure they have a good balancing reason not to do that.

Our teams had a nice run anyway...

Imagine if Blissey gets added to the Fairy type (most likely scenario)...*shudders*

Metagross is instantly added to every team.



Want to see an amusing "leak".

Gogoat is standalone, but there are "two" of it. The Gogoat CoroCoro revealed is the male Gogoat, there's a female Gogoat (with separate art, and stats/moves) which is much smaller without horns and can't be ridden. That's the one you can see in the background in the trailer.

You're given Gogoat as a gift around Miare by one of the Rival character to demonstrate the Riding Feature. Riding is limited to a couple of areas, but there's a pretty in-depth racing mini-game as I've mentioned which is the new "Contests".

Mawile receives an evolution, in which it has two little mouths instead of one, resembling ponytails. I think it's meant to be a reference to Hatsune Miku, because the resemblance is pretty strong when it comes to the hair-style. I don't know how useful it is though, but it can learn Quiver Dance.

Xerneas represents the "purity of the earth", is Fairy. In Kalos Lore, Xerneas rebuilt the region after war devastated it.

Yveltal represents the "ambition of the sky", and is Dark/Flying. In Kalos Lore, Yveltal appeared during wars and ravaged both sides and the entire region.

Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and death, and the cycle of it. The Kalos Region has had countless wars, in which Yveltal destroyed the region and Xerneas rebuilt it, although, since the advent of Pokemon Battles and them being used to settle disputes, Kalos has seen a prolonged peace for the last couple of hundred years.

Team Acid and Team Base.

Acid are the more "traditional" team, punk-rocker/bikers who steal Pokemon and experiment on them. Goal is to create the "Ultimate Type". Leader is a girl with long, long, long hair that she sits on, Admins are themed after venomous creatures. One dude has spider-leg dreadlocks.

Team Base less evil, more misguided. They wear those Tai Chi suits, with the button flaps forming a B, and want to obtain power to protect what they care about. They steal Pokemon from trainers they deem weak and raise the Pokemon themselves. Leader is an old man with long, flowing white hair, yet very muscular. Rather than Admins, subordinates are four sages based on the Saint Beasts.

Neither are "version based" like Aqua and Magma, they appear in both versions, although when and where you fight them is slightly different.

This guy is most likely trollin.

Hell Yeah!. Though this'll probably ruin my themed team, unless they add some new moves to my Dragons plus I'll probably have to breed Iron Tail into my Haxours as well >_>.  A Steel/Dragon would be pretty welcome too .

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.


I agree with this. My avatar is not a fan of Stealth Rock.



Personally, the only nerf I would request is to downgrade Toxic to a simple Poison damage. Everyone and their mother runs a Toxic staller team nowadays because it's too OP.

Toxic Spikes is ok, Toxic is not .
