Mr. Mime. I really don't like his design at all, which is a shame considering how cute Mime Jr. is.

This is why I like Klefki, he fits those pixie fairy tale critters that are mischievous and cute. Plus the keys aren't actually part of his body, he just hangs on to them.

I'm just not a fan of it.
Then again, none of the Fairies hit my fancy. While a few of them have nice designs, none strike me particularly as "This being is a fairy."

Flabebe and Floette kind of do. Florges, not so much.

…come to think of it, even Slyveon isn't very all that fairy-like.

The only one that really comes closest is Clafairy huh?

I don't really think so. Cherrim from Gen 4 more closer resembles a Fairy than they do.

Clefairy comes rather close, I agree.

I suppose.

I think what they mean is not so much a literal fairy, but rather magical, mysterious beings.

For magic, Pokemon has Psychic and Fairy types. Psychic represents raw power, and Fairy is more mysterious and incomprehensible. Kind of like a light version of Dark type (which represents mischief and trickery).

So fairies in this aspect covers pixies, gnomes, elves, and all sorts of those cutesy, mischievous critters. I think "magic type" would be a more appropriate name in some cases.

I just wonder why the Flabebe line isn't part grass type. Its got far more grass in its movepool than fairy, and Florges IS a flower.

I guess Game Freak weren't keen on a 4x poison weakness.

I thought the same thing.

A 4x from Poison would make her even more fragile, and yeah...that would really suck.

Well it's not like anything has ever been 4x weak to Poison anyway. :lol

I'm glad that Fairy's introduction meant poison is somewhat more viable now.
