User blog comment:Leo636/Champion Translated into Pokemon types/@comment-5955640-20131109210839

Hm. There seems to be a slight misonception on what dark translates to. When you think dark you think evil and things like that. The Heartless, A shadowy group that controls the world, Dark Heart , And of course. Demons.

But apparantly in Japan the usage of the word dark for pokemon at least just means Dirty Fighting. And if you look at the dark moves that does sort of come across as that. It's also weak against fighting. The Disciplined fight style but strong against Pyshic the battle of the minds at which trickery works best.

With that in mind dark does not apply to champions that do evil things but champions who are inherently underhanded in their abilities.

And on the topic of fairy because that's a new one and again. Sort of has the concept of harmless whimsy associated with it. And there is whimsy no doubt about it. But it's deception pretending to be harmless and kid friendly. The stuff of Grimm Tales. They are good against dark devicing the trickster. They disarm the honorable fighters by appearing harmless and employing their own form of sleight of hand to get to them. And they are good against dragon's because to a fairy a dragon is just a big scaly monster. Whatevs. Whimsy.

They are weak against poison the substance of death and decay the thing that kills most life and fairies are tied to things that live naturally. It is also weak against steel the manmade construct that does not truly feel the world like all natural things do.

Given that, fairy type just means natural creatures of whimsy and deception.
