[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Iron]

That means I'll assume Fairy Type is a thing and Pokemon/moves of this type are safe to use as it always existed, mankind just accepted it as a real and offcial Type relatively recently, alright?

I was thinking canonically there's always been a fairy type, not that it was recently "discovered" as that wouldn't make any sense. Surely you'd notice how good Poison was against Clefairy?

But if you want, we could explore how Fairy has become more accepted as a serious type and not just trivia. A lot of the Fairies can only be caught in unusual circumstances. Snubbull, Jigglypuff, Cottonee, and Marill are the only common Fairies, and only Whimsicott and Azumarill is respected in battle. The Ralts line has always been respected in battle, but it's pretty rare and used more for its Psychic attributes than its Fairy. Same is true for Azumarill - people probably don't train Play Rough on it all that often.
