But not seals. . .

Of note, gliding bits, underwater bits, and motorcycle bits are all returning, although I don't see why there needs to be an animation to show the transition to "anti-gravity".

Uh, my first thought was kart racer, but I guess endless runner makes more sense.

I suppose you neglected this one because it was leaked, and not revealed, but I LOVE this new Fairy type. It's absolutely adorable, and it's what I think we can look forward to in this new type.

I don't know how I feel about the contrast of this bird being somewhat complicated looking, and fletchling looking relatively simple.

All the fan art is neglecting this bit, and I don't see that changing.

I know about them, the point I neglected was that Vine puts that sort of power into anyone's hands.

I'm not sure where you're coming from, but I like your Owlman reference, so I like you.

Again, an important bit to consider when reading this is to actually read the article.

Christ it's like you people see the headline and head straight to comments, without reading the bit in the middle.

Jalopnik, I don't read much of what you and Deadspin publish, but when I do, I want you to know it's absolutely fantastic. Keep it up.

I wonder if they'll either change the males to Gallades, or just female Gardevoirs.

I've decided I like Vine.

It's weak to steel because in fairy tales fae are burned by iron, and there isn't an iron type.

What animal does Marill remind you of?

I'll take half credit. There was a quote on the front page of /r/pokemon that contained something to that impact.

Yes but they're somewhat rooted in real animals. Have you never seen the similarities between, say, a rattatta and a rat? As opposed to, say, audino, which doesn't particularly resemble any animal? or whismur? or clefairy? or jigglypuff?

Since this seems to be a point of contention, it's not fairy as in tinkerbell, it's fairy as in fairy tale. Example; Gardevoir is a princess, Marill looks like a fairytale creature.

Lord, ok, it's not that kind of fairy. It's fairy in the fairytale sense of fairy.
