Because I like it as pure fairy and grass is one of the worst types ever.
Go opinions go.
I chose snivy for both W and W2. Grass types can be quite useful if you know how to use them.
Personally I think if Flabebe, 1) Stayed how it is now, evolving into a bigger maybe fancier-looking elf thing, it would be highly predictable a bland-ish in design sense. 2) Fused with the flower, would give it something a bit 'newer' design wise [I don't recall any past gen pokemon starting with an item and the fusing with it after evolving, if im missing something please tell] and maybe a bit more interesting than said 'bigger elf thing'.
I was disappointed at first about my favorite 6th gen mascot getting my least favorite type, but seeing all this ' if it was this it would have x4 this, and if it was this it would have a x4 this ' makes me glad its a single-type thus with no x4 anything /and/ a dragon slayer. Fairy being weak to poison* even supports the whole 'life' thing, since i think all of our current poison-MAINTYPE pokemon are from strange mutations of some sort [again, tell me if its otherwise. Thinking grimer line and trubbish line when i typed this] and not true/organic 'life', and IRL poison kills things [ie poison killds/ends life].
*Is this even confirmed yet or are we going by the source who's been 99% correct about their leaks?
