On a Pokemon drawing kick

Have a Sylveon!

I really like Fairy-type Pokemon, conceptually, but my playing method is definitely one that just uses sheer brute force and determination to get anywhere, so I don't use Fairy-type Pokemon very intelligently. Thus, they tend to be ones that I gaze at longingly and get my ass handed to me by.

I don't, as a rule, draw things which are cute or which utilize a lot of pastel colors. So this was really fun! I've had the idea bouncing around my head for a couple of days and decided to just go for it tonight when I really should have been going to bed.

I feel like to really use fairy-type moves effectively, you have to be at least a little bit strategic. So many fairy moves are status change attacks which require things like forethought and planning to be smart about their execution.

But I'm not a strategic player AT ALL. Like, I tend to lean really hard on one or two Pokemon that have moves that, altogether, are effective against most other types. I massively over-develop those two Pokemon so they essentially Punch Real Good and then I just sort of hope for the best. It is not elegant!

So when I come up against a fairy type that knows what its doing, unless I'm really over-leveled, I usually just have to kind of sit back and admire it as it totally wrecks my shit. Which is why I like fairy types conceptually, since it's really a thing to behold! But I'm just not serious business enough of a player to do them justice, myself!
