Posted June 23, 2013 Thanks KageSora. Also yes, I know fairies as primarily mischief makers. Only reason I could see that they'd beat dragons is because they're small, tough, magic imbued little things. A lot of terror in those little bodies. =/ But concerning pokemon lores reasoning? Who knows. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) I think the reason is something cheasy like "Love and kindness is better than force and brute strength," or some crap like that. I think it's more along the lines of something I read on memebase. Fairy tales do more than tell us that dragons exist. They tell us that dragons can be beaten.

Posted June 23, 2013 Also in a lot of fairy tales, dragons were slain only with weapons enchanted with fairy magic. Also, dragons are killed in "fairy tales". That's been the reasoning so far that makes sense to me. Also, why not? I don't see why it wouldn't make sense. How does a bird beat a trained fighter? How are bugs stronger than dark/evil? It doesn't always have to make perfect undeniable sense like fire > grass. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 23, 2013 How does a bird beat a trained fighter? I figure it has to do with the fact that the Fighting type seems to be based on MELEE fighting. If there were an Artillery type, it would probably be super-effective vs. birds. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 23, 2013 But there are PLENTY of stories of faries being mischievous or downright nasty, they're not all nice little critters. And plenty of stories of dragons that are cunning or kind rather than just relying on brute force. ^ This. I've read many many books where dragons have been good and more likely to use their heads than they are brute force. And while I haven't seen any stories about fairies being mischievous, I have to admit that I haven't really had any interest in reading up on them, and wouldn't doubt it. Often times the things that appear sweet and innocent, aren't at all. Share this post Link to post

Posted July 5, 2013 I want to get that sword pokemon with a Bronzor. A sword and shield. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 11, 2013 :| So far I've been disappointed with nearly all the revealed pokemon, Xerneas, Yvektal and Fennekin excluded. I hope some evolutions or unrevealed pokemon are way more to my taste. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) I've been happy with everything that isn't Fennekin or Sylveon After seeing those two I was a little nervous about this gen but the last couple reveals did not disappoint c': MY PRECIOUS c: Edited July 11, 2013 by Pika_Oi Share this post Link to post
Posted July 11, 2013 A cotton candy pokemon...... really? =_= Goronda (pancham evolve form) looks badass > Share this post Link to post
Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Is it cotton candy? I thought it was a cloud or a dandelion puff or something. Either way, super cute. I think I want one. c: Edited July 11, 2013 by Pika_Oi Share this post Link to post
Posted July 11, 2013 The cotton candy pokemon is weirdly adorable and a little unsettling at the same time |D I love it! I find it interesting that Xerneas is ONLY fairy-type, and not dual typed with Steel or Grass. I also thought Yveltal was going to be a Dragon type. But! Still not disappointed c: The squid are AWESOME UGH. I love their typing! <3 Pancham's evo is supah cool, and I'm really liking that little pink fairy bird c: I'm going to love this game so much ;A; Share this post Link to post
Posted July 11, 2013 Aww the cotton candy is X-exclusive so I can't get one during my first playthrough (since I'm definitely playing Y first for Yveltal and Skrelp SKRELP) :N Share this post Link to post
Posted July 11, 2013 Dat Pancham evolution. I might get one now. |D The squids, imo, are pretty cool. Dark/Psychic. I like. I'm definitely not too disappointed with this generation so far. Still need starter evolutions agjkadbgkjadbgkajg Share this post Link to post
Posted July 11, 2013 Aww the cotton candy is X-exclusive so I can't get one during my first playthrough (since I'm definitely playing Y first for Yveltal and Skrelp SKRELP) :N DUDE TRADE WITH MEEE I'll catch you a cotton candy if you catch me a Skrelp! ;u; Anyone see that possible Skrelp evo leak? Probs fake, but it looks really cool. A porpoise pokemon! QuQ Share this post Link to post
Posted July 11, 2013 Yveltal's not a dragon? ;n; he's not even fire type? *keels over* why is xerneas only fairy why isn't he fairy/grass or fairy/steel switch is not pleased. But I like all the new pokemon. :3 Fennekin had better make up for my disappointment in xerneas and yveltal's typings. :I Share this post Link to post
Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) I TOLD YALL XERNEAS WAS A FAIRY TYPE, and also, I've already preordered the game, do I get the Yveltal figure :0 The two new fairy types through, that's a bit too much, they didnt need to do all that with them. I predicted Yveltal's type, ((Whoop whoop)) but I thought Xerneas would be dual type fairy/grass Edited July 11, 2013 by nicknick88 Share this post Link to post

Posted July 11, 2013 Shushup is my new favorite thing ;A; like I need an avatar of it, pronto I can't get over its plague doctor similarities. I hope they go that direction in its evolution, I'mma ddiiieeeee also cotton candy must become a poodle, I demand it /melts from the new fairies Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2013 I knew I was gonna get Yveltal when I saw it. It's typing now gives me a better reason: I love dark types. Definatley could catch Pancham now. As nice as this is, this is bad news for Darkrai. The reason why it had so much charm was because it was the only dark-type legend until Yveltal came along. I'm mentioning darkrai because it's my favorite Pokemon. I bet Xerneas and Yveltal dex entries will be something like: Whenever a person is born/dying, they'll see a mental image of Xerneas/Yveltal. I don't like the idea of cotton candy and perfume as Pokemon, it just seems too silly. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2013 OMG THERE IS A SQUID I AM GETTING THAT THING. It is so freaking adorable. Pancham's evo... There's a new Beartic. That's all I will say about Gondoro whatever. Except that is the japanese name :/ Cotton candy.... Gimme. Gimmeeee just not as much as the squid Maika. -goes on naming everything in their japanese names- Share this post Link to post
