Citizen Snips!

I choose you!

I'm getting a 3DS soon, methinks this will be the first Pokemone game I've gotten since Soul Silver

If he doesn't evolve into something that looks very similar to Zoidberg, I'll be disappointed.

fairy type sounds extremely groan inducing

Sounds like it was made to be the polar opposite of "Dark" type. I actually like it better then just saying "Light" type Pokemon cause that would create the assumption that these Pokemon are inherently good, and make "Dark" type inherently bad.

I haven't played a Pokemon game since Diamond, but it looks like I finally have a good reason to. The first fairy pokemon I get I will name Yousei so I can feel smart and multicultural.

Yes, many neat trinkets. I still haven't heard a whisper about the two things I really want from this game: A.I. trainers that aren't brain dead and a new game+ mode.

Well Black/White 2 introduced hard more so hopefully that stays in.

Anyway, what do you guys think the chances are of all pokemon being available?
They just added a new type, retyped some of the old pokes AND most of the trailers feature old school pokemon....
Probably non I guess... But I can dream... Hopefully it's most of them though.

Considering that dark type attacks are mostly just "being a massive asshole" it would've been quite hard to make physical attacks that are the opposite of that. Fairy type is pretty creative though, considering how many pokemon actually fit into that trope (old and new).

Plus, that type change will actually shake things up quite a bit. I, for one, am thrilled to have ninja jigglypuff turn into dragonslayer ninja jigglypuff in my team.

Surprisingly looking it up I saw that in some ways I was actually wrong. Apparently according to Bulbapedia "Dark" type is actually "Evil" type in Japan... so there's that.

Now that Wigglytuffs are Fairy-type pokemon, I wonder if it would be more hilarious if I named mine Kanji and gave it a Folding Chair to hold...

OT: First dual type Fairy/Dragon I see is mine. Also, a dual type Fairy/Ice sounds pretty cool. Wonder what Fairy types weaknesses are...?
