You're probably right. And the special/physical change was a great one.

Now, I've also noticed that the Fighting Type has been slowly getting a little bit of a power creep, right? Is Fairy going to help with that as well?

Rumor (and only rumor) says Fairy is strong vs Dragon, Dark and Fighting-type.

Which itself makes for a very offensive typing.

I usually take developers that talk about "balance" with a grain of salt. Pokemon has never been particularly well-balanced. The only thing they need to avoid is having something be a ruiner of worlds (ie Mewtwo and first gen). Is Dunsparce, Parasect or Purugly "balanced" in the game? Not really. With RPGs like this generally all the dev has to do is introduce a system that is suitably complicated, throw in a lot of variables and the player will create tier lists of their own.

A Luvdisc battle is the Pokemon equivalent of a pillow fight.

So the going theory is that the addition to "bring balance to the force" adds a little bit of unbalancing so that something else needs to be added later on to rebalance it? Kinda like how we take meds for a condition then need to take other meds to counteract the side effects, thus making us chemically dependent on prescriptions?

Considering how addicted we are to Pokemon (and RPGs in general) I would buy this theory.

A healthy inbalance is good for a game, sometimes, too...

I agree with TOoker, it would be too much. So, would Thunder punch be weak or strong against flying? Too confusing.

Anyway, it's a dread that nobody knows the name for, like those little square plastic gizmos that close your bread bags. I don't know the name for those either."

It would be strong against flying because Flying is weak to Electric and the move does Electric damage.

I don't think this is difficult at all.
