Nothing wrong with that, just gotta learn more. You limit yourself in only being aware of barely a quarter of the characters.

Anyway, there is no harm in speculation. Are there any Pokemon you want to be Fairies, aside from those in that egg group? Bellossom for example, would enjoy having am additional type and kind of show more evolution of changing type instead of losing one. Plus it shows a better transition of it from weed to beautiful flower.

Machamp should be Fighting/Fairy.

Not sure if anybody here looks at memebase, but there was one strip that focused on the likely possibility of Fairy being super effective against Dark. If that's true, then maybe Psychics won't have to rely on inaccurate Focus Blast anymore!

I think the following could potentially get fairy type

Staryu/Starmie
Smoochum/Jynx
Chansey/Blissey
Sunkern/Sunflora
Milktank
Aipom/Ambipom
Skitty/Delcatty
Bunneary/Lopunny

Yes, I can't imagine they'd start changing types altogether, just add to the mono types that are Fairy-like... But then again, I also didn't think an 18th type would be added, so who knows? Though Blissey as a Fairy would be interesting, depending on what advantages the new type would add.

Oh yeah I always for some reason think Jynx is just Ice type. No idea why. Also Starmie is already dual type.

But yeah I also doubt they'll start changing types. Its why I didn't list the likes of the Hoppip line which I initially thought of when the fairy type was revealed.

I just wonder though how many pure, single type pokes we are gonna have left. Is everything gonna end up with an dual type?

Minccino/Cinccino would also be good fairy types IMO.

There will always be mono types out there. They can't all become Fairies.

It would be even cooler if they both evolved into the same pokemon.

They haven't done that yet, so I'd like to see it. And yes, having the evolved form be a Fairy-type would be awesome!

Poliwhirl is so much cooler than poliwrath.

I just bought Black 2.

I want to be a steel type trainer.

Anyone have any ideas for a corny steel name?

Boy: Adam
Girl: Matilda

I thought I was the only person who wanted to different Pokes to evolve into the same Poke! Man, that would be a great thing! And such great chances, too.

Corben (as in John Corben, aka, Metallo).

I'm glad the Fairy type has been introduced to be Super Effective against Dragons. Hopefully the type will resist Dragon moves too. I also hope that it'll resist Fighting type moves as both Dragon and Fighting are the two dominant types in the current metagame. As for a weakness, it'd be nice if Fairy was weak to Poison, just to give Poison types (and their attacks) a biff of a buff and coverage. On that note, Water types should be weak to Poison too, imo.
As for Pokémon who will gain the Fairy typing, it shouldn't be too many. The current list is nice. They don't want to overdo it though I could understand why they'd select a large number just to even up the numbers against the other existing types. They should also only give the typing if it makes sense, not just for the sake of it.

Ah, I was considering Magnus from another popular comic haha.

I wound up going with Slayer because I couldn't think of anything more metal.

You're awesome.

Coming up with type-based names is never easy; especially for specifics like Steel.

Back when I used to create blueprints for pokemon games (for fun, really), the hardest part was coming up with names for the gym leaders, because the name had to relate to the type.

It ended up being much easier for me to come up with names for the females than for the males, for reasons I can't really pin point. The males required much more thought.

If I may, here's a list of the names I came up with for female gym leaders:

Normal - Fiona, Alaine
Fire - Charlotte, Ashley
Water - Chelsea, Lynn
Electric - Magdalene
Grass - Olivia, Roseline
Poison - Cassidy
Ground - Sandra, Terra
Rock - Raquel
Ice - Justice, Aurora
Fighting - Judith
Flying - Ariel, Aaliyah
Bug - Thora, Vespera
Psychic - Valerie, Wanda
Ghost - Morticia
Dragon - Ophilia, Maya, Lara
Dark - Persephone, Darla, Monica
Steel - Irene, Matilda

We never thought they'd make a Fairy type, maybe some will be retconned to be triple type.

Triple type? That'll cause more problems than it would be worth.
Hey, if Dark is weak to Fairy and does neutral damage to Ghost, Sableye and Spiritomb now have weaknesses...

*I'm back, had our power cut for a week



Kinda like the reverse of Eevee, a couple PKMN evo to the same thing. I thought about it, but never thought of/drew anything.



Fairy Egg Group
Yeah, Fighting got a boost recently, and with the deer/antelope things, it makes sense.
Looking at Helioptile/Litleo's secondary Normal, I'm thingking immunity to Ghost, while forgetting weakness to Fighting.

I don't think everything on the Fairy Egg Group will become Fairy type.
Plusle/Minun yes, Pikachu line, NO. Hoppip line no. Snubbul/Shroomish yes, their evos, no.

Clefairy/Jigglypuff/Chansey lines Normal/Fairy
Dratini or Dragonite Dragon/Fairy
Mew Psychic/Fairy alt
*Marill Water/Fairy (It's a Rabbiit, well Azumarill is)
Togepi or Togekiss Normal/Fairy Fairy/Flying
Misdreavus Ghost/Fairy
Delcatty Normal/Fairy
*Ralts Psychic/Fairy (What IS Ralts? I keep thinking it's Grass/Psychic mushroom thing)
Castform Normal/Fairy or just Fairy
Snorunt Ice/Fairy
Mawile Steel/Fairy (What IS Mawile? I keep thinking it's Grass/Steel)
Chimecho/Chingling
Shaymin Grass/Fairy
Lopbunny Normal/Fairy (Fairy type would make it less creepy)
Mesprit, Uxie, Azelf Psychic/Fairy
Darkrai Dark/Fairy
Jiraichi Steel/Fairy
Phione/Manaphy
Victini Fire/Fairy
Gothtower & Solosis
Whimsicott Grass/Fairy (It's a Rabbiit)
Munna/Musharna

Ah, I like Link!

I am actually currently pissed off that Magnemite wasn't given Levitate as an ability, so instead now it has a 4x weakness to ground that can be negated by a stupid move, but who likes to use stupid moves when you could have an awesome ability? Argh argh argh anger.
